Heathyorker takes comics from the New Yorker and switches the captions with Heathcliff comics.

I wonder if these are at all inspired by the notorious Far Side - Dennis the Menace caption mixups:

I don't think I've ever seen a 16 year old picture of Jessica Nigri before. She looks .. human?

The link brought up a photo that was 16 years old of her. Not sure what it was supposed to be because it definitely wasn't about the famous text swap you were talking about.

At first I almost didn't recognize her. I only learned about her after she had been substantially plasticized.

Damn, that's weird. Maybe if I place the two examples in IMG boxes?



Any better?

That's what I was expecting to find instead of some Pikachu cosplay.

Tried it just now on my phone and it came up as expected. Also, the link looks perfectly legit from here, with text inside that link literally stating "1980s-newspaper-mixed-up-captions-dennis-menace-far-side-twice-results-were-hilarious-xECam."

I guess just chalk this one up to... totally unexpected weirdness. :S

That's the link text I saw. But not the result I was delivered.
