I don't understand the point of these comics.

If the version without Heathcliff makes exactly as much sense as the version with Heathcliff then that's a win. The trick is that because the version with Heathcliff doesn't make sense in a traditional way because it depends on absurdism or anti-joke strategies the original doesn't make sense to begin with. So by removing Heathcliff it creates an absurdism stacked on absurdism situation.

If you don't like Monty Python or Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy this probably won't make any sense at all.

I love Monty Python, but these comics usually just seem like a pointless waste of time to me. Maybe because I'm not very familiar with the source material.
