ub posted:This is weird and not very coherent but is pretty par for what I've seen of Heathcliff... was it always like this? (I'm generally ok with it) Heathcliff under George Gately was a pet hijinks strip for people who found Garfield too edgy. Gately's nephew, Peter Gallagher, took over the strip in 2001 and he's been steadily pushing it in a more absurdist direction, leading to panels like the one you commented on.

It's much better then the photocopier that took over Garfield.

How the hell did Ernie Bushmiller make so many funny strips out of the same basic cloth like this is still basically the same "x thing for a week" format that people use nowadays and it's terrible but somehow he's making it funny???

I think it's because of the deadpan-ness of it. There usually isn't a speech bubble in Nancy Classic final panel to explain the punchline. Instead, the action just unfolds. Of course, I'm not a humor expert so there could be a more factual answer.

I'll never forget when somebody pointed out the strips often made just as much sense with the panels in any other order.

I'm pretty sure that's inevitable. dismas posted:This one is pretty good. I think over the last few years of Peanuts, it's clear that Talking Snoopy was not responsible for Shermy, Patty, Violet, and the other original kids being shoved into the background -- it's Lucy and, to a lesser extent, Linus who took over. Buni  No wonder the crossdressing muffin from a few weeks ago was happy to have sprinkles. Also, Pagelow seems to be on a run of cupcake-related strips. Rhymes with Orange  Pros and Cons  Defoe, once again surprisingly open-minded.
