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

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…

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.

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:

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.”

At the orb show Heathcliff holds up a celebratory glass of champagne while dozens of multi colored orbs fall from the ceiling. He has a glowing green orb on his head, the cats on either side of him have a cyan and magenta orb on their heads. The orb show judge stands in front of him and says, “this celebration seem exorbitant.” The number under Heathcliff says 100 to celebrate 100 Orbcliff followers here on Bluesky!

Oh my that was fast! 100 let’s go!!
Totally serious this was the first color strip that came up in my random shuffle!
#heathcliff #heathcliffedits #orbcliff #fanart #comicstrip @heathcliffthecat.bsky.social

Thank you and welcome new followers! Approaching 100!! If I reach 100 I will make an edit of a random old strip 😁 #heathcliff #orbcliff

First panel, Heathcliff, Iggy and Grandpa sit around the kitchen table with tubes strapped to their mouths. Two glowing green orbs sit on the table and one more is on Heathcliff’s head. A bowl of orbs is on top of the fridge but this is just a fun extra detail that doesn’t play into the punchline. Grandma Nutmeg and her friend look at them from the doorway and Grandma explains, “they’re testing a new method for catching orbs.” Second panel, all three of the boys’ are startled as they suck up the orbs to stick to the tubes on their mouths. Thunk! Thunk! Thunk! Grandma exclaims, “It works!”

Necessity is the mother of invention

First panel, Grandpa and Heathcliff look out at the snow covered yard where three mice with pink pyramids on their heads are building a snow sculpture of a slice of Swiss cheese. Green orbs dot the yard and the sky. Heathcliff has a green orbs dot on his head. Grandpa says, “they better not be planning to steal our harvest.” Second panel, all of the green orbs are now inside the sculpture. Heathcliff is shocked, the sky and yard are clear of orbs. Grandpa says, “I knew it!”

The ARB mice are causing more trouble

I fell behind earlier this week and took it as an opportunity to try putting all of this weeks strips into one storyline while naughty second panels for all of them as well! I’m having a great time with this so far! #orbcliff

First panel, Heathcliff looks proudly at the cuckoo clock on the wall. He has a glowing green orb on is head. The cuckoo clock is going "coo coo" but it isn't a bird, its a small Grandpa Nutmeg! Grandpa is annoyed, he says, "Th-this is what you spent your orb catching money on?" Second panel, Grandpa starts crying into his hands and Heathcliff looks at him worried, "That cou-could have paid off our gambling debts." The clock continues to "coo coo."

Just go catch more orbs, probably?

First panel, two workers stand outside the Orb Pound and music drifts in from a distance. One worker asks, "You hear that?" Second panel, he continues, "He's our orb guy." Heathcliff arrives still wearing his ORB helmet and playing a flute. A whole mess of glowing green orbs follow him!

Some kind of orb infestation around town?
