Wow.  I was hoping that the article explaining why that was so funny would help me to understand it.  Well, I read it.  Still not really funny.

You're welcome. Also check out Heathcliff Stew: "A random Heathcliff panel with a random Heathcliff caption."

It's brilliant.

I think this is my favorite I've found so far. The boy looks astonished at the elderly woman's illiteracy.
