Tuesday, August 11, 2009 Heathcliff Analyzed


"Please tell me that you don't see a huge chocolate doughnut with a golfing cap too!"

Heathcliff is parading through the park, firing hairballs through a flute while dressed as a Scottish inner tube. As he walks, musical notes rise up from his backside. A group of squirrels have stopped their squirrely activities to watch the abnormality pass by.

In the background, a young man makes a seemingly irrelevant comment about controlling the squirrel population. Possibly, if the young man is extremely intoxicated and has a very vivid imagination, he could have mistaken Heathcliff's strange costume for a large acorn. In that case, he could believe that Heathcliff, as a large nut, is trying to lead the squirrels from the park. However, the musical instrument is still unexplained. Heathcliff can not be emulating the Pied Piper, for the Pied Piper did not embarrass himself by dressing as a large piece of cheese.

Analyzing the comic proves more taxing every day.
