After dreaming about bees, Heathcliff wakes up and smacks a clock. Then, despite being in the habit of parading around the streets naked, he dons a bathrobe. Pouring a cup of coffee, he takes a newspaper and goes strolling down the sidewalk. Coming upon a pair of trash cans, he lifts off like a rocket, a trail of exhaust coming from his hindpaws. This take off causes one trash can to turn over, spilling human waste upon the sidewalk. The other trash can is apparently vaporized behind the word "Ka-Blang." In the end, we find Heathcliff seated upon the overturned trash can, reading his newspaper with the skeletal remains of a fish sticking out of his mouth.
The only clue we have to this peculiar ritual is a strange man with a black ashtray on his head, saying to his friend "Sunday Brunch." Despite Heathcliff's abnormal conduct, the two men who appear in the last strip are even stranger. This pair has appeared in this comic strip before, carrying trash cans through fields or from behind people's houses and putting them on the sidewalk. Even if one could stretch the imagination and think that they may be garbage collectors, garbage isn't picked up on Sundays.
