Thursday, July 16, 2009 Heathcliff Analyzed

To show his displeasure with his cheap cat food, Heathcliff vomits in his bowl in B Flat Major.

Mrs Nutmeg has returned with her friend of two days ago. Since the July 14th comic, this woman has been fitted with a prosthetic foot, and has had cosmetic surgery to give her a mouth and nose. However, she has since lost her arms. This poor woman obviously leads a rough life.

Heathcliff greets his mistress and her guest by exposing himself in the doorway and producing an eructation of gas, accompanied by a few musical notes. Heathcliff never ceases to come up with new ways of showing disrespect towards women.

Mrs Nutmeg does not consider Heathcliff's spasmodic ejection of gas to be a burp however. Instead she tells her friend that "It's something like crooning." If this woman considers the belch of a cat to be soft and soothing, then perhaps her life has been even rougher than the one of her friend.
