On Sunday's I add Heathcliff to something else or do one of these portraits of him as a famous person.

Just wondering, who/what the F is Heathcliff and why the obsession with him/it? The "comics" that keep being posted with them removed make no sense to me. What am I missing? Thanks in advance!

If you look at the edited version and then the original and they both make the same level of sense then the edit was successful in showing that Heathcliff's presence was irrelevant in the comic even though his name is on it.

As for if it's funny or not that gets into your level of appreciation for anti-jokes, surrealist, dadaist and absurdist humor. It's not for everyone.

Having understood that it's an awful comic with an irrelevant main character, I'm still confused on why it's worth put any effort into editing these comics?

It's something to do. Takes like 5 minutes most days.

Oh, ok. Just a routine thing to do

Ah! I see! Okay cool, I'll look at it in a different light from now on. Thank you!

Haha okay good, I'll feel less bad for not "getting it" now. 😅

Take care!
