Sunday, July 12, 2009 Heathcliff Analyzed



Heathcliff and Pop have failed to heed the old warning that if you make stupid faces they might stick that way. Throughout this whole comic, their mouths are stuck in the fully open position. This could be due to some sort of jaw paralysis, or it could be caused by the alien spaceship seen hovering outside their window.

For no apparent reason, the old man and the cat simultaneously rise like zombies, then begin performing a synchronized, high leg-kick dance step. Dancing across the bedroom, they continue their routine down the stairs. Once downstairs, Heathcliff finds a fish on a pedestal and goes over to wave to it. Not wanting to dance alone, Pop goes over and picks the cat up.

In the final panel, Grandma and Iggy appear, and Grandma tells Iggy that Heathcliff and Pop have a special bond between them. It would appear that Pop had got into some glue while Heathcliff was entertaining the fish, for his hands appear bonded to the cat and he can no longer put Heathcliff down.

The strangest thing about this comic is that it appears that Grandma and Iggy had been sleeping together.
