Description
Before there was Garfield, there was Heathcliff. A street-wise cat with attitude. It is hard to imagine that this tabby didn't inspire Jim Davis in someway. I recently wrote an article on cats in comic strips for the CFA-APA and realized I was missing Heathcliff in my collection. They are not that common but I have been able to remedy the situation with a daily and a Sunday.

Many were introduced to Heathcliff through the cartoon in the 80's which he also had Marmaduke.  Voiced by Mel Blanc, a very agitated trouble maker personality, and shown on Saturdays, it was definitely more accessible than Garfield who was more aloof and shown in specials.  Very nice two panel gag as it skips the action within the gutter and gives us the results.
