1	* DevelopmentHell: A film adaptation which was planned for a 2011 release but never surfaced. Creator/FrankWelker would have voiced Heathcliff.
2	* TheOtherDarrin: Creator/MelBlanc voiced Heathcliff in the 80s animated adaptations. Over 20 years after his death, a video game for the Platform/NintendoWii, ''Heathcliff: The Fast and the Furriest'', had Bill Rogers providing his voice.
3	* OutlivedItsCreator: Before George Gately died in 2001, he handed the strip over to his nephew, Peter Gallagher. Another one of his nephews, Michael Gallagher, has written for ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'' and ''Magazine/{{Mad}}'' among others.
4	* RecycledScript: ''Exploited.'' The strips for January 26 and 28 of 2021 were identical in content, but drawn slightly differently. In the same week, on the 25th, 27th and 29th, the same setup was used with one item swapped out - in each, Heathcliff was on a therapist's couch, with said therapist saying "Let's talk about ___", referencing something sitting next to Heathcliff. Robots, Chihuahuas, and Ham, respectively. With Gallagher's odd sense of humor, this was certainly deliberate.
