            Heathcliff without Heathcliff wasn’t inspired by Garfield but I know it seems that way. A friend was posting its Heathcliff each day and I was confounded by the impenetrableness for months. But after I started figuring it out I noticed that Heathcliff was almost completely irrelevant to most of the strips and started removing him to see how often they still worked as designed.

            But since G-G already existed there is no way to remove the idea that one caused the other in most minds. I didn’t really care for G-G because I really never cared for Garfield in the first place.

    The continuation of the comic wars.

    Previously there was a comic about Snoopy flying his dog house being shot down by a fighter pilot.

      To be fair you need a pretty high IQ to understand Garfield. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of feline studies most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head.
