Saturday, July 11, 2009 Heathcliff Analyzed



The animal control officer thought the call was a prank, until he arrived and saw for himself the inflatable pool lobster firmly attached to the cat's tail.

Heathcliff is seen running through the streets with an angry, mutant, three-legged lobster attached to his tail. Since the lobster is red, it's already been cooked, which could explain its anger. If it's been cooked in the city's tap water, it could explain the mutation as well.

In the background is a fishmonger telling a policeman, "It's cheaper than a security system." Surely the fishmonger wouldn't have employed lobsters as guard animals to thwart Heathcliff's stealing, for if that were the case, Heathcliff could just walk away with a free lobster every time he wanted to rob the store. Apparently this statement means that a cat screaming in the streets will scare away burglars. However, this would assume that the cat will be screaming in the streets all night long.

The policeman has no mouth, which is of little importance as the scene probably leaves him speechless anyway.
