I'm so used to Heathcliff without Heathcliff that seeing Heathcliff with Heathcliff is uncomfortable and scary

I think it goes futher than that, and it's "not Heathcliff, with Heathcliff" on a weekend.

Removing Heathcliff (character) from Heathcliff (comic) during the week.

Adding Heathcliff (character) to a random Unrelated cartoon/comic on the weekend.

I imagine the original comic had a plain white canvas.

An Inuit is seeing the painting as a cat/tiger in the snow. The other two see it as a tiger on a white background.

I totally thought that was Garfield

[-] alyth@lemmy.world 34 points 6 months ago

same, thought it was the meme of garfield getting chucked out of the window

[-] Drummyralf@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Ah, welp, I guess I didn't get the the comic either then. Didn't know about the Garfield thing.

The penny has dropped. The original comic is just a white canvas. Someone edited Garfield in.

Haha thank you!

How to turn an average comic into something greater. Not because the new version was better (it is worse), but because of the confusion and discussion it sparked ๐Ÿ˜œ

[-] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 6 months ago

That makes a lot more sense!

Well it is Heathcliff. I'm not sure if I'm too autistic to know if everyone was avoiding pointing that out or if people really didn't know.

[-] Drummyralf@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Never heard of Heathcliff, and after googling I still didn't recognize it. Maybe an American thing?

Looking at some other comments, was there some beaf with Heathcliff and Garfield or something?

From France, I've been barely exposed to Heathcliff... Except for a random animated series from the 80s starring him and a bunch of other OC cats. And I wouldn't have recognized the name later, because they'd changed it for the French localization (they called him "Isidore").

I've only learned about Heathcliff (and the fact the cartoon was supposed to be partly based on him) when I watched a Quinton Reviews video on youtube. The whole video was based on the joke that Quinton was basically an authority on Garfield material at that point and he reviewed Heathcliff as "Garfield but worse" (maybe).

Not familiar with Heathcliff so I genuinely didn't know

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 3 points 6 months ago

Omg that's actually brilliant.

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 9 points 6 months ago

They don't get it because the title is missing

[-] wabafee@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I see a cat about to perform his arts. (Aka about to scratch someone)
