I would’ve gone with “Rubbish Road.” I cannot tell if Heathcliff was able to toss an ice cream cone in the air, then toss over a garbage can, and then catch the ice cream cone before it fell, or if he picked up the cone after it fell into the garbage (but remained intact).

Another example of insanity and madness in Westfinster. Do not contemplate what this flavor might taste like, and be grateful no one is shown licking a Bro Cone. Vexedly yours, The Curator

#Heathcliff #HeathcliffSister The Curator is aware of only one other appearance by Heathcliff’s sister in 1976. 50 years later we still don’t know her name.

Another glimpse into the peculiar realm of Westfinster, in which everyone you encounter is potentially a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside a mascot costume. (Wigs optional, available for purchase.) Vexedly yours, The Curator

#Heathcliff #HeathcliffGarbageApe This could be the first time a human has seen the Garbage Ape. The fact that it’s one of the Abraham Lincolns that wander the streets of Westfinster makes as much sense as anything else in this strip.

#Heathcliff I don’t know if I have directly mentioned it, but the 8/4/22 panel that featured an “Eat Me” sign inspired me to create my Twitter account to discuss the madness of Heathcliff. A sign with “Deez Nuts” would have done the same.

The Curator finally realized today that Heathcliff’s birthday is the same as my unofficial anniversary (of our first date) with my boyfriend (since we don’t usually bother to celebrate), 52 and 14 years respectively. Happy Birthday Heathcliff!

If I had a cetacean doppelgänger, I’d certainly be obsessed with it. (Mine would probably be a narwhal.) The Commentary Birds look a bit stressed during their sea flight, they usually get to just sit on telephone wires.

I’m not dead. I remain at the usual middle ground between sanity and madness. I’ve just been exceedingly distracted by (ugh) reality. Mostly nothing bad, just annoying. I hope to resume posting with greater frequency. In the meantime, #HappyPride.
