One of his favorite activities is aggravating both the fish monger and the milkman. He actually spends a great deal of time doing just that: creating havoc on the street. However, while Garfield enjoys the comforts and luxuries of his home, this other orange cat enjoys terrorizing the neighborhood (as the theme song suggests). And, of course, they both have an attitude. Both think that they’re the kings of their respective homes. Both think that they’re smarter than their owners, and smarter than dogs. Both are striped, overweight, orange cats. Many have pointed out that this naughty cat has quite a few things in common with that other fat cat – Garfield. I really loved this segment, as it provided a more urban feel to the show. Similarly, Heathcliff only appeared once on the Catillac Cats show. Riff Raff only made a very brief cameo appearance. Interestingly enough, only Hector, Mungo, and Wordsworth appeared regularly on the Heathcliff-segment. He’s always trying to throw them out the junkyard. He’s the nemesis of Riff Raff and his gang. Leroy: A dog guard, he too lives in the junkyard. Bush is always bumping into things because he can barely see with all that hair covering his eyes. She’s smart, beautiful, and feisty.īush: He's a big, long-haired dog who also lives in the music store.
The gang (except Riff Raff) lives in a white and red Cadillac, after which the gang took its name.Ĭleo: She is Riff Raff’s girlfriend and lives in a music store. In the Spanish version he was renamed “Poeta”, which means "poet". He’s named after the poet William Wordsworth. Wordsworth: A white cat who always wears roller skates and headphones, Wordsworth fancies himself a poet, thus he mostly speaks in rhyme. Mungo: He’s a rather slow, but decidedly well-meaning cat. Sometimes he clashes with Riff Raff about decisions affecting the gang. Hector: A brown cat, he thinks he’s smart enough to be the leader of the gang.
Here’s a little more information about each of them: The members of his gang include Hector, Mungo, and Wordsworth. He lives on a discarded plane, which sits atop a junk pile. He’s always trying to make a quick buck through different scams. The Gang leader is Riff Raff, a short but keen, tough, and street-smart cat. The Catillac Cats is a gang of junkyard cats. Another Spanish version of the show was aptly titled "Picaro Gato", which roughly translated means "mischievous cat". This was the show I used to watch as a kid.
HEATHCLIFF WORDSWORTH SERIES
In Spanish, the series was titled Heathcliff y Riff Raff. In this series, The Catillac Cats segment was introduced and appeared after the Heathcliff-segment. The second animated series, produced by DiC Entertainment, started in 1984. The series ended in 1982, with a total of 32 episodes. The second season was called Heathcliff and Marmaduke. This show had two seasons: The first season was entitled Heathcliff- and Dingbat.
HEATHCLIFF WORDSWORTH TV
The first TV series, which began in 1980, was produced by Ruby-Spears Productions. This title was later switched to the Marvel brand as well.Īs I mentioned above, two animated television shows were created based on the comic strip. In 1987, Star released Heathcliff’s Funhouse. In total, there were 56 issues produced by Star/Marvel. At some point, the new releases bore the Marvel logo instead of the Star brand. In 1985, Star Comics – a family and children oriented company owned by Marvel Comics – launched a series of comics featuring this cat. The comic strip continues to be distributed to more than one thousand newspapers. Not surprisingly, this cartoon cat still has many devoted fans around the world. It is to this day one of the most popular comic strips of all time. George Gately created the comic strip in 1973. However, I didn’t know (until much later) that this popular cartoon started out as a comic strip. My siblings and I used to watch it after school. As a girl, I was familiar with the 1984 TV series. There were two animated television series featuring this mischievous cat. He enjoys creating chaos on his street, especially kicking trash cans and chasing lady cats. This cat is a very naughty feline indeed. Heathcliff – a striped, orange, and unruly (but lovable) cat – was a popular TV cartoon cat during the 1980s.
