    Find the first post in this community for an explanation of why Heathcliff doesn’t have Heathcliff in it.

    Heathcliff is still being made each day. Well, except this week which are reruns*. The creator handed everything over to his nephew in 1998 and his nephew started taking in a different direction with more absurdism and anti-joke material which made it dramatically different than the rest of the comics out there. It took a while for this to catch on but more people read Heathcliff today than they did in 1997.

    If you like Monry Python and Pratchett then this is great. If not then current Heathcliff and especially Heathcliff without Heathcliff will make no sense. Which is fine. It just means you are on the center of the bell curve or a standard division or two to the left. If everyone got it then it would be as boring as a focus group tested nugget dipping sauce at at a fast food corporation.

    • You can tell because of the more saturated color scheme.
