You can still be right. It wasn't a joke.
In the comments from the previous comic there was the question of if these were costumes or meat golems. Thanks to this panel, we now know that they are meat golems because bacon is incredibly thin, too thin for it to be a costume that size.
This one doesn't have a joke. Instead it has Eldritch Ham. It "fleshes" the Heathcliff universe out a bit. Bacon bits.
There are a whole lot of people that are not active on the internet and have no idea this thing ever took place. It'll be easy to find a jury.
How does one create this comic and completely ignore that cops stealing via civil asset forfeiture take more than cops
As far as I can remember Heathcliff wears costumes. But no one else does unless he does. And Meat Cowboy and Christmas Ham have no face hole indicating that there is a person inside. Which brings us to support your idea that these are not costumes. Is Heathcliff secretly an Eldritch horror comic? Normalization of sentient meat people without the Cronenberg body horror?
Yeah. That gave me some definite food poisoning vibes.
