Heathcliff: No One Should

It's Meekrat, doing Mondays now, and you should read my site. There's a new comic up there. So yeah, here's some comic reviews:

Close to Home, 07/18

It's not a bad joke, but the caption for it is really clumsy. All we really need to know is that he's a doctor, while the bypass stuff is simply extraneous information. Perhaps a better way to tell it would simply to have the doctor walking into his office carrying the box of old, used medical supplies?

Dick Tracy, 07/18
Honeymoon's mother was a woman from space who married Dick Tracy's son and was later killed in a car bombing. Did you know that there was a whole thing around the sixties when stuff like that was normal? People from space and sci-fi related stuff, I mean. Not car bombing.

For Heaven's Sake, 07/18
This joke is lame and, while this is the first time I've seen this comic, I'm willing to bet it's even worse than "B. C." at its most religious. Let's keep a look out, shall we?

Heathcliff, 07/18
Heathcliff may have come first, but it was never more popular than Garfield. Even when both of them had cartoons, Garfield always had an edge over the one he usurped. The show is remembered now, but when I found out it was a comic strip, I was quite surprised. No one cares about Heathcliff, really, which is why I was quite surprised when I found this game at GameStop (I had photos of the game in the wild but they wouldn't transfer from my phone due to so many computer problems):
The fact that anyone would make any sort of video game about Heathcliff in 2011, or whenever this game came out, is absolutely absurd. At least they didn't put much effort into it, making it a simple "Spot the Differences" game using panels from the comic strip. Which doesn't explain this:
They actually put effort into making a Heathcliff game. What is this world coming to?

That "For Heaven's Sake" would have flowed better if they emphasized the pun a bit more, i.e. "in-violet." By leaving the spelling "inviolate" it sent my brains strange places for the few milliseconds it took to figure out the pun.

Also, what are those marks at the bottom of that girl's eyes supposed to represent? Also are those wrinkles under her eye? The more I look at that comic, the more I think it must be some kind of stealth parody...
