Heathcliff drops his hot taco, his glowing green orb jumps off his head, the taco truck guy shouts, “oh **** it’s stoke!” The flames that were coming from Heathcliff’s mouth gets sucked up by STOKE, a geometric monster that changes light to dark and also seems to have killed one of the taco patrons by engulfing him in he swirling flames.

A peak at what else is coming (more Stoke)

Heathcliff stands on the lap of a man and uses his hypnotized eyes. Grandpa Nutmeg sits across from them in the living room and looks mad. He says, “I specifically asked him not to hypnotize!”

I promise Orbcliff will be back soon! Here’s a new #Specificliff in the meantime
#heathcliff #heathcliffedits #orbcliff #fanart #comicstrip

Comic strip, Heathcliff looks at a bird bath from the bushes wearing a a bib that says, DAN.” Two birds with the heads of Tom Hanks and Gary Sinise as their characters from Forrest Gump, Forrest Gump and Lieutenant Dan from later in the film when they meet at the docks. The Dan bird doesn’t have legs. Tom (Forrest) says, “He’s back, but you ain’t got no legs!”

Later
#forrestgump #lieutenantdan #nolegs
You don’t eat a Dan like that all at once.

Comic strip, Heathcliff approaches a bird bath from the bushes wearing a bib that says “DAN.” Two birds in the bird bath have their heads replaced with Tom Hanks and Gary Sinise’s characters from Forrest Gump, Tom (Forrest) says, “Be careful, Dan.”

Your regularly scheduled Orbcliff will return soon.

Panel 1, two mice watch Heathcliff work on his latest painting. He holds a paintbrush and palette and has a glowing green orb on his head. On the canvas he has painted the word, “Nude.” One mouse says, “Now, that’s art.” Panel 2, Stoke, a glowing pink geometric monster that changes light into darkness bursts through the canvas. Heathcliff is shocked and drops his tools. The green orb jumps off his head. The mouse shouts, “Oh **** it’s Stoke!”

Stoke is an enemy of the arts.
Please ignore the physics and structure of the easel.

Sunday with Heathcliff. Heathcliff puts on a helmet that says, “Orb” and picks up his glowing green orb and starts running. He carries it like a football as he barrels through some dogs, weaves past an alien and a robot, and makes his way inside to the Super Orb party. But he comes face to face with the horror that is Stoke, a geometric entity that turns light into shadow. One of the party goers says, “oh **** it’s Stoke!” Kitty Corner! A glowing blue orb cat sits at a man’s bedside. “Matt Cholodeswitsch of Tucson AZ says his cat Orby tucks him into bed. She makes sure he’s under the covers and smells his face!

Who invited Stoke?

Panel 1, a couple looks out their apartment in the city at night to see Heathcliff swinging through the air on a rope. A glowing green orb is on Heathcliff’s head. The man in the window says, “I love Saturday night.” Panel 2, the monstrosity that is a triangle inside a diamond that distorts light into darkness called Stoke appears behind Heathcliff. Heathcliff is terrified and loses grip of the rope sent ugh the air. The green orb flies off of his head. The man in the window is frightened, the woman next to him seems delighted. The man says, “Oh **** it’s Stoke!”

Watch the skies. There might be more to this…

Panel 1, Heathcliff Pops and Iggy look up at the ice cream man in his truck. Iggy holds out some money and says “two cones and one prison tray.” Heathcliff has a glowing green orb on his head. Panel 2, the ungodly shape that distorts light into darkness called Stoke appears behind the ice cream truck. Everyone is shocked, Heathcliff’s orb and Pops’ hat fly off their heads and Iggy drops his money. Iggy shouts, “Oh **** it’s Stoke!”

Not even the ice cream truck is safe. Father son time ruined.

BYOS no questions asked

Not to be too pedantic but this maneuver is not a body slam! It’s a splash or a cross body block if the target is standing. It could be a senton if Heathcliff is in rotation to land on his back, but we all know cats always land on their feet. #HeathSplash
Thoughts @heathcliffhelms.heathcliff.cat ??

Interesting idea, but I don’t think Stoke fears anything!

Panel 1, Heathcliff peeks around the corner to watch two mice looking at a mouse trap that is baited with a bottle with a slice of cheese on the label. One mouse says, “Cheese cologne.” Heathcliff also has a glowing green orb in his head. Panel 2, the camera pulls out as Stoke, a terrifying assembly of otherworldly shapes that creates darkness inside of it, comes into frame. Heathcliff is shocked and the green orb rises off his head. The mouse says, “oh **** it’s Stoke!”

It’s everywhere #stoke

Can I keep this going for six weeks?

Panel 1, Grandpa Nutmeg enters the kitchen carrying his lunchbox. Grandma is cooking at the stove and Grandpa notices Heathcliff sitting inside a baking pan. Heathcliff also has a green orb on his head. Grandpa says, “you’ll need a bigger pan to hide from Stoke.” Panel 2, Stoke, a big terrifying pink shape that also changes light into shadow appears next to Grandpa. Grandpa and Heathcliff are shocked. He drops his lunchbox and the green orb rises off of Heathcliff’s head. Grandma looks pleased, though???

Grandma, no…

Panel 1, a groundhog emerges from his hole wearing a helmet that says “shadow.’ Heathcliff, with a green orb on his head, stands next to the mayor in front of a crowd of townspeople. He says, “Six more weeks of Stoke.” Panel 2, the groundhog turns back towards his hole and raises his arms, it summons a diamond shaped…. THING, that has a sphere cut out of its middle, and a pyramid floating in the center of that empty space. It seems to alter light around it and emit darkness.the back of the groundhog’s helmet says “Rise.” The mayor, Heathcliff and the townspeople look frightened, the orb bounces off of Heathcliff’s head. The mayor exclaims, “oh **** it’s Stoke!”

Please don’t ask me to explain this.

And yes the orbs can freely change size/density/etc.!

Heathcliff tries to break up a potential fight between a yellow orb in a Santa hat and a blue orb with a wreath on it. The orb shop keeper says to the other shop keeper “obviously my money’s on blue.” (He wears a blue shirt while the other guy wears yellow apron)

Heathcliff walks down the sidewalk next to a glowing green orb that’s wearing a Santa hat. A bird in a nearby tree says to another bird, “the loser in an orb fight gets absorbed.”

So @alephria.bsky.social asked what happened to the yellow orb?
The answer:
#heathcliff #orbcliff #absorb #heathcliffedits #orblore #comicstrip #fanart

I haven’t posted any of these edits on here yet, but during Christmas 2024 the original yellow orb absorbed a blue orb and became the green orb which I’d say is where all the current green orbs are derived from!

So far, pink orbs and arbs (pyramids) are in opposition to the green orbs!

Sunday with Orbcliff Heathcliff walks with a glowing green orb on his head and a bouquet of flowers in his hand. With hearts floating above his head he approaches the Hot Orb, a pretty lady with a pink orb for a head, in front of the meat shop. He gives her the flowers and she gives him a kiss. He walks away with more hearts over his head, then breathes out a huge pink flame! The meat shop owner says ,”he was kissed by the hot orb.” Kitty Korner - a cat sits in a guitar case enjoying music. “Giovanni Aniceti of Pittsburgh PA says his cat ‘Piki’ likes to sleep in his guitar case while he plays!”

He’s flirting with the enemy??

Panel 1, Heathcliff carries a glowing green orb with a phone inside of it across the living room while Iggy and Grandma sit on the couch reading. Grandpa stands at the doorway and says, “I can’t find my phone.” Panel 2, Grandpa turns to leave, hunched over sadly. Grandma whispers to Iggy, “this will keep him off the gambling apps.”

Sometimes you need to approach the problem from multiple angles #gambling #heathcliff #heathcliffedits #orbcliff #fanart #comicstrip @heathcliffthecat.bsky.social
31 January 2026

Several mice wearing scarves build a giant block of cheese out of snow in the Nutmeg front lawn. Heathcliff and an incensed Grandpa Nutmeg watch them sculpt out the window, and Grandpa says "Have you no shame?"

29 Jan 2026

Heathcliff, Iggy, and Grandpa Nutmeg are all sitting at a table and they all have feedbags strapped to their heads like horses and are chowing down on whatever's in there. Grandma Nutmeg passes by the trio with her friend, and she says "They love Feedbag Friday."

30 Jan 2026

A giant lizard monster looks at Heathcliff from behind the fence extending beyond the original comic panel. Inside the panel Heathcliff drives his sporty cat car while wearing sunglasses past the Nutmeg house. Grandma and Grandpa look out their window and Grandma says “we never should have let him get a driver’s license.”

The way Peter Gallagher draws the night sky (blob of ink with crescent me) always implies to me a larger form outside of the frame, and the moon is actually the eye of a giant monster!
#kaiju #heathcliff #heathcliffedits #comicstrip #fanart

This is also me, I have been very bad about posting my kaiju edits but yall have me hyped up, I’ll get those going again soon!! #heathcliff #kaijucliff
