Gately retired in 98. His nephew Peter Gallagher, not the actor, aka NAPG, was given control of Heathcliff. Gallagher has gone full, anti-joke, absurdist, dada. Jimmy and Garbage Ape is a Gallagher creation.

Garbage Ape is celebrated for his banging of garbage cans. Jimmy is not celebrated by anyone except Heathcliff. They are two sides of a coin. This is basically two great characters showing up in the same panel as an all star cast.

...I celebrate Jimmy

I should have qualified that those statements are in universe. In our world we all celebrate Jimmy.

Is "jomies" pronounced "homies" here?

And so it's really "Himmy"?
