I think the purpose of HamHelmet was the joke being that everytime a comic doesn’t feature the Ham Helmet Heathcliff wears once as a while is why they kept saying “that bothers me”, in an ironic sense, it’s not meant to be protrayed as an actual critique, just some tongue-in-cheek account that says the same thing until it says something difference once a future comic DOES feature the ham helmet again. :P I can definitely see how it looks very spammy since the ham helmet hasn’t been used in this strip in a while now. I don’t know who made the account, but personally I found it to be clever.
God, I really love Pearls, but I wish Pastis would just stop with these repetitive “i’m offended!!” or “political correctness” jokes he does like every other week now. It’s boring and unfunny. I read stuff like Pearls to laugh at the edge and wit it has, not to be reminded about how life sucks and our social climate right now. It’s not entertaining at the slightest. Would suck if these past few years means that Pearls has gone soft and Pastis has finally been stumped with ideas (like what happened to all of those creative storylines he did from the beginning of the 2000s to the mid-2010s??)
