This isn’t a place where only I can post Heathcliff content. You are invited to post Heathcliff content as well. Any era is fine. The original Gately stuff, Star Comics comic book stuff, 1998+ Gallagher stuff, the cartoon series and, of course, any edits you create or find.

This is a Heathcliff group. Not a me group.

Always check the comments because there are normally edits in there. Sometimes edits don’t show up for 24 hours.

Garfield, the other orange cartoon cat that came out three years after Heathcliff, isn’t welcome here. If you post any Garfield content here it better be really, so very really, good. Just to be clear; this is a warning and a threat.

    This is a Heathcliff group. Not a me group.

    This is a distinct problem I’ve discovered as someone who aims to post daily in my Euro-comics community-- that while it does gradually increase the subscriber count, it also (speculating here) tends to create a userbase that’s content to sit back and let someone else do the work.

    So, psychologically and motivationally, I’m thinking it might even *discourage* contributors, especially since I try to research well everything I post, and usually post multiple images. Not unlike how you always add the reference comic as well as frequent bonus content… plus the funny comments, of course.

    In other words, the two audiences are getting quality stuff without needing to lift a finger. Where is their motivation supposed to come from, daggit? So far I can’t even get assistants, which is some bonus discouragement.

    I’ll check out @[email protected] “FediGrow” again, and meanwhile, I’ve added this sub to the sidebar of my community, which might give it a little boost at some point.

      I don’t expect much in the way of content from others because I know this is extremely niche. But I wanted to let others know that if they wanted to they could.
