Heathcliff by Peter Gallagher for August 22, 2022

You’re too “brackfish”.

True dat.

Flowers are a nice touch.

Well, fish. You do realize you’re his afternoon snack, right?

Don’t jinx it, fishy!

So fish helmet is out and fish bowl is the new thing?

Yes.

The sky is finally blue again!!!

In this strip, the thing that is worn on one’s head signifies the type of thing one wishes to consume: meat, ham, gum. Thus, Heathcliff will not eat this fish, but he will eat others like it, just as he has never eaten the meat helmet (god forbid).

I had a pet turtle that had a pet feeder fish for a little while. Like she ate the rest and swam around with it. For at least two batches of feeders.

Maintain your balance, Heathcliff! Literally!!

Wow . . . that’s surprisingly deep.
