I don't know why I never posted here after moving this project to Tumblr, but if you're still following this page on Blogger or end up here due to Google, you might want to know that there are two exciting options to keep up with Heathcliff Explained, which I re-relaunched a few days ago. They are<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">The Garbage Ape went to Walt Disney World, but judging by the look on their face, they did not have a great time. Perhaps, as they gazed into the gigantic, lifeless eyes of the gathered mascots doing their best to entertain in the heat with plastic heads the size of dishwashers strapped to their bodies, the Garbage Ape came to realize that they, too, were a kind of mascot, a simulacrum representing the joy other animals feel about the prospect of eating garbage. Maybe they went to Walt Disney World and came back wondering when Heathcliff and the other cats would come to see them as an individual. Then, like they mascot siblings in Orlando, they dutifully took their garbage cans up and went bounding through the park, the whole time dreaming of their autonomy.</span>Paul Arrand Rodgershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10369036006191440677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153525830457182706.post-83560756665182189872014-08-21T13:33:00.003-04:002014-08-21T13:35:46.301-04:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
