Heatcliff is wearing a captain Ahab costume
>>80798980
Are there older strips showing Heathcliff as Ahab?

Woops messed it up.
Forgot the second h.
Man I don't even care.

>Are there older strips showing Heathcliff as Ahab?
Yeah, but I can't remember which days.
>>80798980
Annoying. We see that he is dressed as Ahab. Couldn't they have made a joke based on a Moby Dick quote instead?

Okay, this one is good
Is there even a name for the reverse-double-negative humor that is Heathcliff? There's just nothing quite like it. Every """""joke""""" is hovering, teasing, tickling my brain, but there's nothing there....there's just.....nothing there.

He said as Heathcliff dug his fangs into his sides, guts and blood spilling over the family carpet.

No seriously where do you keep all these PNGs and where can I get them

Please wait that I'll compile them.
>>80801428
You have my blessing.
Are these... supposed to be funny? Or is it kinda like that Zippy the Pinhead shit, where it's just random shit and the only joke is on the reader?
>>80801820
No, they are supposed to be Heathcliff
>>80799281
Wow that final panel really added to the joke.
>>80799238
>>80799220
I had to do a double take because I thought these were edits. Did that fucker really trace his own shitty comics?

These actually make sense as jokes. They're not good jokes, but you can see where they're supposed to go. Heathcliff is only Heathcliff when you're scratching your head because you can't figure out what the comic is supposed to be saying.

It wouldn't work if all of the strips would be equally senseless.
You need to lull the readers into a false sense of security with lameness.
>>80799056
I was wondering how this shit got through the filter. Learn to spell faggot

What's it like actively avoiding one of the only decent threads on /co/?

Anti-humor is the term that tends to get thrown around, but I don't think it's quite accurate. As you said, there's nothing quite like Heathcliff. It's not that there's just no joke or intentionally bad or subversive jokes. It's that there is a void where a joke should be. You can see that there should be a joke there, most of the time, you can see the setup for a very clear and obvious joke, but instead Gallagher just... doesn't make it. Like here:
>>80799281
The last panel should be "Jedi-Mice trick" it's the most obvious joke ever. It's not funny, it's been made tens of thousands of times over the years, or at least some variation. But it's very obviously what the joke should be. But... it isn't. And there's no discernible reason for it not to be.
>>80811422
"Anticlimatic punchline", then?
>>80811422
I thought he wrote that because Jedi Mice vaguely rhymes with Jedi Knights.
>>80799281
It's like he intentionally avoids jokes at all times. Seriously, "Jedi-Mice Trick" was was the best possible joke for that strip, yet he doesn't even commit. What the fuck.
