'''''Heathcliff''''' is an American [[comic strip]] created by [[George Gately]] in 1973,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://heathcliffcomics.com/history/|title=History – Heathcliff|website=heathcliffcomics.com|language=en-US|access-date=2018-06-25}}</ref> featuring the title character, an orange [[cat]]. Now written and drawn by Gately's nephew, Peter Gallagher, it is distributed to over 1,000 [[newspaper]]s by [[Creators Syndicate]], which took over the comic from [[McNaught Syndicate]] in 1988.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.creators.com/features/heathcliff|title=Heathcliff |publisher=Creators Syndicate |language=en|access-date=2018-06-25}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.toonopedia.com/heathcl.htm|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120912161525/http://www.toonopedia.com/heathcl.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=2012-09-12|title=HEATHCLIFF|publisher=toonopedia|language=en|access-date=2018-06-25}}</ref>


The strip and its title character show some resemblance to the more famous [[Garfield]]; however Heathcliff was published five years before the first Garfield strip.
Heathcliff has some similarities to the popular comic strip ''[[Garfield]]'', which it predated. Both title cats are orange with black stripes, and noted for their bad temper; a "Beware of Cat" sign has been applied to both. However, the major difference between them is in their lifestyle. While Garfield prefers to stay at home, eat and sleep all day, Heathcliff is street-smart and has a more active and mischievous lifestyle but Heathcliff still looks too similar to Garfield.


The strip is usually presented in single-panel gag frames on weekdays. On Sundays, however, the strip is expanded to multiple panels (usually 6–8) and titled ''Sunday with Heathcliff''. A regular feature in the Sunday strips is ''Kitty Korner'', where unusual cats in the real world are described.
Heathcliff as seen in the strip is predisposed to annoying the manager of the fish store, tipping over garbage cans, annoying the milkman, and pursuing female cats. Heathcliff is also involved in a difficult relationship with the [[goatee]]d owner of the house he lives in. He is, overall, an adventurous and fun-loving cartoon character. He is not predisposed towards apologizing for the endless situations he finds himself in the cartoon.


Heathcliff daily comics can be currently read online on [[GoComics]], with archives currently dating back to 2001.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.gocomics.com/heathcliff|title=Today on Heathcliff - Comics by George Gately |publisher=GoComics |language=en |access-date=2018-06-25}}</ref>

The strip takes place in a port town called Westfinster. The title character is an orange housecat, named Heathcliff, owned by an elderly couple named Mr. and Mrs. Nutmeg and their grandson Iggy. Strips often deal with Heathcliff's interactions with the Nutmegs, the owner of a local fish market, local dog catchers, commercial fishers, or various dogs and cats throughout the neighborhood. [[George Gately]] began the strip and continued to draw it until his retirement in 1998.<ref name="Gately-obituary">{{cite news|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9906E6DA103DF930A35753C1A9679C8B63|title=George Gately, 72; Created "Heathcliff"|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=October 3, 2001|accessdate=May 10, 2024}}</ref>

Since Peter Gallagher took over the strip, Heathcliff comic strips often have recurring motifs like bubble gum floating, comic strip or celebrity [[Cameo appearance|cameos]], helmets, robots, an ape called the Garbage Ape, and the word "meat". Readers often interpret it as surreal humor without logic, though Peter Gallagher claimed in an interview with SOLRAD that "I'm not just doing stuff that doesn't make any sense at all".<ref name="solrad-unrepentant" /><ref>{{Cite web|last=Neal|first=Andrew|date=2021-07-06|title=Let the Art Stand for Itself: A Conversation With Peter Gallagher|url=https://solrad.co/let-the-art-stand-for-itself-a-conversation-with-peter-gallagher|access-date=2021-10-01|website=SOLRAD|language=en-US}}</ref>

* Although Heathcliff was a [[silent protagonist]] in the comic strip, both animated versions of him were voiced by legendary voice actor [[Mel Blanc]]. Heathcliff was the last of Blanc's many original characters.
* Heathcliff's female human pal, Marcy, was drawn in the strip as a normal girl with brown hair, a green skirt and has a bow in her hair.

* Heathcliff was parodied in an episode of ''[[Robot Chicken]]'', in which he sued [[Garfield]], and ordered to a catfight with Garfield to settle the case. Although Heathcliff lost, Garfield was shot instantly by an officer who hated his jokes.

Heathcliff is an American comic strip created by George Gately in 1973,[2] featuring the title character, an orange cat. Now written and drawn by Gately's nephew, Peter Gallagher, it is distributed to over 1,000 newspapers by Creators Syndicate, which took over the comic from McNaught Syndicate in 1988.[3][4]

The strip and its title character show some resemblance to the more famous Garfield; however Heathcliff was published five years before the first Garfield strip.

The strip is usually presented in single-panel gag frames on weekdays. On Sundays, however, the strip is expanded to multiple panels (usually 6–8) and titled Sunday with Heathcliff. A regular feature in the Sunday strips is Kitty Korner, where unusual cats in the real world are described.

Heathcliff daily comics can be currently read online on GoComics, with archives currently dating back to 2001.[5]

Animated series

[edit]
Main articles: Heathcliff (1980 TV series) and Heathcliff (1984 TV series)

Two animated TV series based on the strip, both simply named Heathcliff, were created. Although Heathcliff does not speak in the comic strip, both animated versions of the character were voiced by Mel Blanc.[9] Heathcliff was one of the last original characters Blanc voiced before his death in 1989.

The first Heathcliff was produced by Ruby-Spears Productions and debuted in 1980. The first season featured segments with Dingbat and the Creeps (Dingbat is the vampire dog (Frank Welker) accompanied by Spare Rib the skeleton and Nobody the jack-o-lantern who were both voiced by Don Messick), which were created by Ruby-Spears for the show, and the second season featured fellow comic strip character Marmaduke (voiced by Paul Winchell). This version is sometimes seen on Boomerang.

In 1984, the second Heathcliff debuted, which was produced by DIC Entertainment. This series featured segments with the Catillac Cats (AKA Cats and Co. by the end credits of the show), which is why this version is sometimes referred to as Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats. In 2005, Shout! Factory released a Volume 1 DVD for the show, featuring the first 24 episodes of the series. Since then, Mill Creek Entertainment has gained the license and released the show on DVD, with a ten-episode best-of compilation entitled King of the Beasts and two volumes that cover Season 1; volume 1 contains 32 episodes, while volume 2 has the remaining 33.

In 2021, the film and TV rights of Heathcliff were acquired by Legendary.[10]

Film

[edit]

In 1986, Heathcliff: The Movie debuted in theaters. It was an anthology film which consisted of seven episodes from the 1984 series. The film was released on VHS by Paramount Home Video in 1988.

In the 2007 Argentine-Italian animated film Noah's Ark, a character looking like Heathcliff pops up in a crowd scene with the other animals.[citation needed]

A CGI-animated Heathcliff film was in development for several years. In 2010, a trailer for Heathcliff in Bad Kitty was released, but the movie itself never materialized.[11]

As of 2021, Legendary Entertainment has plans to simultaneously develop a TV series and film based on the Heathcliff comics. Gallagher will produce the film alongside Steve Waterman.[12]
