"This bothers me" is such a banger of a line. Thank you for milking it.
That was Erik. All the green and yellow stuff is his edits.
Y'know... for a strip whose freshness & lifeblood under Gallagher's direction has HEAVILY relied on absurdism and a studied continuity of dopey half-jokes rendered borderline-brilliant via the mechanism of dopey storytelling (you know, sort of beloved Norm MacDonald's specialty?), I... I... good gosh, I love it!
I mean, we're not gonna get back too many of the 'average comics fans' at this point (lol), so why not run with the current audience, right?
Now, that said... uh, good question about how to handle things from here! Lots of possibilities in almost any direction, altho one does get the sense that there's a danger here, riffing on George Lucas and all that.
What think?
A friend was sharing the daily Heathcliff comic on Facebook. I read each one and had no idea what was going on. After a while I started to understand the in universe lore and jokes really appreciated how each day it caused me to think a little different. It's not for people that want a joke that everyone can understand in half a second.
NAPG has pulled in characters from multiple outside sources and so far hasn't gotten into trouble for it so that seems to be working for him.

Well, "No-Apologies-Parental-Guidance" to YOU TOO, sir! ^^
Altho we do have TOS Star Trek to perhaps reconcile the matter amongst the meta:
Non-Actor Peter Gallagher
The Miri episode always made me feel dirty when I watched it. Not as dirty as the movie Gummo though.
Huh!
Now as a classic Marx Bros fan, that title always confused me.
But I see now, whoa... that seems pretty wild. Reminds me a bit of KIDS, I guess (i.e. the movie).
In terms of "Miri" the Star Trek episode, I liked how Shatner included his daughters in the malevolent kids from Miri's planet. Talk about a fun-work-day-with-dad!
There's a time, alas, no matter thine green, thine grass, no matter we be fallun'... fallin' 'pon love!
(forevah und evah!)
