The thing with Heathcliff, he's very much a one dimensional asshole in the newspaper comics too. No wonder he's fallen into obscurity.
Probably doesn't help that he never speaks in comics either. And they are just as bland as Marmaduke and Family Circus.
It's kinda sad to know he was the last new character Mel Blanc lent his voice to. Which was also one of the few times he uses his real voice.
It used to be common for newspaper comics to get animated adaptations, but most were pilots that sadly never got picked up.
Hagar the Horrible is one notable example of a one episode wonder. I remember seeing this as a kid and wished it was a series.
I mean. You have Peter Cullen as Hagar, and he did seem like the appropriate choice to voice him.
