Having never seen a viagra in person (and so not being aware it was shaped like that), this one took me a couple of minutes to figure out. Thought it was a wonky mattress or something at first.
I feel like this is one where Heathcliff’s presence actually does make the joke better, but I like yours too.
This is one where Heathcliff was actually essential to the joke. But due to audience capture issues I had to find some way to edit it and have it make sense. Or at least as much sense as any other Heathcliff comic. So that bar was pretty low. I debated trying to write Pfizer on the pill itself to make it look more like a viagra pill. Or even just straight up copy pasting a viagra pill. But I decided against both options.
Beds in Heathcliff are made out of meat.
You’ve said that’s beds are made out of meat before… is it just because of the colour? Surely other things share colours, why in this case does that equate to sharing materials?
It has to do with the way that the skirts have been colored exactly the same as ham and have the same crosshatch pattern. And some of the walls. It’s an inside joke.
If your goal is to show how random and chaotic the strip is without Heathcliff, then this works far better if you just remove Heathcliff and don’t edit anything else. Making a new joke out of the strip defeats the purpose of Heathcliff without Heathcliff.
I try to find a compromise. If I just remove him and it looks like trash then there’s no funny to be had.
