Something similar had been done with Garfield I thought was the first time something like that had been done. It’s essentially the comic Heathcliff, a one-panel comics about a cat, with the title character removed. It actually creates quite a different feel than Garfield without Garfield. In those it’s often Jon just sounding crazy like he’s just talking to himself. In HwoH, they sometimes take on a different meaning or sometimes work just as well without Heathcliff. As far as I can tell the original comic is still being produced, though a different person took over from the original in 1998.
If your question is “why do I keep seeing this incomprehensible thing in my feed then”:
I was doing it anyway so this is a place to put it.
I started posting here during the reddit moderator revolt of 2023.
There is an inverse relationship with life satisfaction and how far down you scroll on Lemmy or literally anything else. If Heathcliff without Heathcliff can save even one person with tasty food then it was worth it

You saved me.
Not anything to do with scrolling or not scrolling or tasty food. These are just great.
