Heathcliff kicks a ball.

what does it mean?

>>85141511
This reminds me of a recurring nightmare I used to have. I'd be playing catch with someone, but when they threw the ball back to me, the ball would grow larger and larger and never reach me, eventually eclipsing all light by the time it was finally on top of me.

>>85141511

So, why doesn't the syndicate simply drop Heathcliff?

Surely enough readers must have complained that it just literally isn't funny? Surely enough newspaper editors must have canceled their subscription so that they could give new artists a chance and order a better strip that actually makes people laugh?

>>85141772
I'm sure that people don't care about it not being funny enough to the point of complaining to the publishers that the strips aren't funny

>>85141808

You underestimate the anger, pettiness, and complete lack of things to do among old people.

Writing angry letters to businesses is practically what they LIVE for.

>>85141596
It's a big ball.

>>85142316
It's not huge, it's just in the foreground

>>85144814
I now understand why you do not understand.

>>85144826
Not him but Heathcliff breaks the fourth wall non-verbally.

>>85144795
This one is at least coherent. He's trying to lure the squirrels with what he thinks they like. It's just... still not funny. The others aren't funny but also have zero context other than "Whoa cats don't play music haha" like in >>85142324

I think the joke in >>85142324 is that when you go to concerts there are lines of porta-pottys.
Heathcliff and his pals are warming up while the litterboxes are being setup to prepare for the music festival tonight.

Is there a guide for translating Heathcliff into English?

>>85142316
Uuuuh, you don't get to bring jokes.

>>85141596
He plays hard

Heathcliff is the single most hilarious comic the syndicate has. I mean, have you ever read a newspaper comic strip?

Oh, you are that genius.
It was one of the scariest thing seen in these threads.

>>85150277
Make a site/generator. I need these. Alternatively put like 500 together in a flash and have it change to a random one every time you click. I recommend counterpoint music, specifically octet 8 line city life.

So has it ever been explained why Iggy lives with his grandparents?

>>85143803
What's up with these strips where Heathcliff is a wizard?

>literally every strip is a character saying something to another character in the background
>that's the only way the writer knows how to insert a """""""joke"""""""

Is it autism?

>>85158189
No, it's senility. And probably Alzheimer's in it's early stages

No it just seems unnerving without a caption.

Okay, now I remember reading Heathcliff comics from some years ago, and they weren't NEARLY this inexplicable. Are we sure the artist isn't developing some mental issues?

>>85158653
Remember that George Gately died in 2001 and passed on the strip to Gallagher, his nephew

But if you didn't read a Gately comic, in all honesty it's just bizarre cause Gallagher doesn't care. He KNOWS that nobody cares enough to look at newspaper strips other than the old and/or senile.

Unless he flat out draws Mrs. Nutmeg taking it up the ass from Heathcliff or Mr. Nutmeg swearing that the Garbage Ape is actually his black neighbor, no editor is going to actually look at these with a critical eye and say "Pete what the fuck is this shit", he knows he can make any insanely low/no effort of a joke and get it published

>>85159066
>Uncle passes on to you his newspaper strips legacy
>Live for the rest of your life off of the money you make creating zero effort, non-sequitur strips for newspapers

This man is a winner at life. I wish I had that same combination of luck + slyness to trick the system like that.
