If I had to pick the single biggest difference between Heathcliff, the cartoon and Heathcliff the comic strip, it would be that in the cartoon Heathcliff talks. It was the '80s and content creators had zero influence on what made it to the screen. The very idea that the Creator could have an input in the result was an abomination back then.
For some projects I finish them and sit on them for a few weeks or months. Then I revisit them, make a few minor tweaks and then release them. Sometimes you hate something and after a few weeks you look it over and say “this is amazing.”
The eye seemed to directional towards Heathcliff so I edited it. I looked for other examples of his eyes and based the new one off that. I wasn’t even sure anyone would notice that.
I wasn’t going to fix the half shaved look. I needed to preserve that NAPGism.
Didn’t even notice the floating. But you are correct.
When I went to remove Heathcliff I instinctively checked to see if I needed to correct him floating out of the window like a cardboard cutout overlapping with the frame because that always happens in Heathcliff comics. All that even though I knew I was going to remove him and it didn’t matter.
I started removing Heathcliff near the start of last year after realizing he rarely contributed to the “joke.” There are very different edits of Heathcliff out there. I didn’t know about them until after I started mine and found a whole community of crazy.
So was polio, measles and American citizens supporting Russian politicians. Once you think something is history you are dealing with a whole population that is naive to it and the process starts all over again. The only thing we have successfully consigned to history is small pox.
