Some Guy TT posted:

You know, this is the same functional "joke" that Gilchrist uses all the time, yet these cameos never really bother me so much in Heathcliff. Maybe it's because they're not as obtrusive, or maybe it' just feels less out of place in Heathcliff's surreal environment.

Also helps that it isn't meta in telling you how clever the joke and artist is or crammed with more than one other IP drowning your eyes in references.

The thing about when Gilchrist puts old comic characters in his strip is that it's just nostalgia bait. All he's doing is saying "hey, remember this?" and that's it. It's just lovely "reference humor" in that the :airquote:joke is just the reference and that's it.

This whole arc keeps making me flashback to how the weekend story started off with the Phantom casually shooting the poo poo in full costume with some random geezer who ran a gas station or something like that.

Christ this comic is bad. The people in it are all terrible, the art is unforgivably bland where even Reply All is at least unique, and the dialogue is awful.

Is he saying, "[oh] boy" or calling his son "boy"?

Also, a lot of the time it's Muppet Babies. And that's when he's saying, "Hey, remember when I worked on Muppet Babies? I worked on Muppet Babies. I was basically Jim Henson's protege. I was the foundation of the childhoods of all children of the 80's. Because of Muppet Babies. That I worked on."

So in the Newspaper Spider-Man Universe, any idiocy is possible, sure. But does anybody know what the protocol is for Random Alien Found in the regular Marvel Universe? The need for caution is understandable, yes, but is it really just "Throw him into Space Man Jail and maybe/maybe not dissect him and hope we don't get crawled by the rest of the people from his planet that we have undoubtedly now pissed off"?

More importantly, that raccoon is crossing his little legs!! :neckbeard:
