Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I don't get it.
An Inuit is seeing the painting as a cat/tiger in the snow. The other two see it as a tiger on a white background.
I totally thought that was Garfield
same, thought it was the meme of garfield getting chucked out of the window
Ah, welp, I guess I didn't get the the comic either then. Didn't know about the Garfield thing.
The penny has dropped. The original comic is just a white canvas. Someone edited Garfield in.
Haha thank you!
How to turn an average comic into something greater. Not because the new version was better (it is worse), but because of the confusion and discussion it sparked 😜
That makes a lot more sense!
Well it is Heathcliff. I'm not sure if I'm too autistic to know if everyone was avoiding pointing that out or if people really didn't know.
Never heard of Heathcliff, and after googling I still didn't recognize it. Maybe an American thing?
Looking at some other comments, was there some beaf with Heathcliff and Garfield or something?
From France, I've been barely exposed to Heathcliff... Except for a random animated series from the 80s starring him and a bunch of other OC cats. And I wouldn't have recognized the name later, because they'd changed it for the French localization (they called him "Isidore").
I've only learned about Heathcliff (and the fact the cartoon was supposed to be partly based on him) when I watched a Quinton Reviews video on youtube. The whole video was based on the joke that Quinton was basically an authority on Garfield material at that point and he reviewed Heathcliff as "Garfield but worse" (maybe).
Not familiar with Heathcliff so I genuinely didn't know
