After 11 months of daily posting to [email protected] I have been banned so they are now fully without Heathcliff.

I'm not bitter about it. The mods in each group are free to decide what is in their community.

If you aren't familiar with this project here are the basics:

I remove Heathcliff from each day's Heathcliff comic. In most cases this preserves their absurdist, dada, anti-joke vibe because his presence is frequently irrelevant to the joke even though he is the titular character.

Every day except Sunday. On those days I add him to something he wasn't in.

I will post the original in the comments each day so you have a comparison available.

This isn't Garfield Minus Garfield. Those edits become introspective instead of more or the same level of surreal. Those where done selectively versus this project being daily.

You should make a community for it. Like Garfield Minus Garfield on reddit. That way more people can join in and they'll all be collected in one place.

Of course also crosspost them here but still

I don't know that there really needs to be two sources on the same platform given how niche it is. Then there is an issue of Lemmy not allowing me to post to some groups and it would be odd if I created a group only to find out I can't post to it without a 403 error. Lastly I'm using Boost for Lemmy and I'd have to sort out all of its moderation options, which I'm not even sure are fully functional yet.
