Heathcliff Pigs Out

George Gately’s single-issue Heathcliff Pigs Out (1984–1988, Berkley Books) is a standalone comic that expands the world of the famously mischievous orange tabby. Gately, the creator of the long-running newspaper strip, both wrote and drew this one-shot, which centers on Heathcliff’s insatiable appetite and his rowdy adventures. Though brief, it’s a fun, concentrated dose of the character’s classic slapstick and cat-vs-neighborhood chaos.
