If you look at the edited version and then the original and they both make the same level of sense then the edit was successful in showing that Heathcliff’s presence was irrelevant in the comic even though his name is on it.

Ah! I see! Okay cool, I’ll look at it in a different light from now on. Thank you!

As for if it’s funny or not that gets into your level of appreciation for anti-jokes, surrealist, dadaist and absurdist humor. It’s not for everyone.

Haha okay good, I’ll feel less bad for not “getting it” now. 😅

Take care!
