* CultClassic: ''Tumbleweeds'' never had the mass following of ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' or ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' or the mass merchandising of ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' but it still has its fans.

* ValuesDissonance: Both during its run and today, ''Tumbleweeds'' has courted controversy over the Poohawk tribe being an offensive depiction of Native Americans. Angry letters criticizing these stereotypes were sent to individual newspapers as well as the syndicate. One would have to wonder whether or not this comic strip could run nowadays.
