After 11 months of daily posting to [email protected] I have been banned so they are now fully without Heathcliff.
I’m not bitter about it. The mods in each group are free to decide what is in their community.
If you aren’t familiar with this project here are the basics:
I remove Heathcliff from each day’s Heathcliff comic. In most cases this preserves their absurdist, dada, anti-joke vibe because his presence is frequently irrelevant to the joke even though he is the titular character.
Every day except Sunday. On those days I add him to something he wasn’t in.
I will post the original in the comments each day so you have a comparison available.
This isn’t Garfield Minus Garfield. Those edits become introspective instead of more or the same level of surreal. Those where done selectively versus this project being daily.
This is definitely another case where the comic was improved without the 'cliff.
Usually he just makes no difference.
It’s fairly depressing in this case.
