![]() As the intro lyrics say "there's a race to be on top/the competition doesn't stop/mixing with the ladies fair/being charming, debonair".Hector is trying to become the boss, and that means getting the boss' girl.It's probably meant to be funny, but it feels wrong on many levels. What's up with Hector trying to romance Cleo in the end credits? Even as a kid, I find it awkward since he and Riff Raff are pals.There were also a few episodes where he seemed to be the inventor or mechanic of the group.Besides, he's named after Wordsworth the poet. Because you need a lot of intellect to rhyme on a dime, all of the time.It doesn't matter if he's supposed to be the cool guy. Because Riff-Raff is still a homeless, low class tomcat.Anyone find it odd that he calls himself Riff Raff, but he was pretty much the cool guy of the gang? He was basically the Fonz with comic relief friends.Since it's been revealed that Season 2 was cut short, maybe they did plan on doing an episode where Heathcliff and Riff Raff meet, but just didn't get the chance to.They meet in the city dump, and one trash man comments, "It's where old friends get together." ![]() Well, now the DiC series can be considered canon as Riff Raff, Mongo, Cleo, and Hector have now appeared in a Heathcliff comic.No explanation for why Hector, Wordsworth, and Mungo were allowed to appear in Heathcliff episodes though. According to these insiders who wrote a book about the DiC company, Riff Raff wasn't allowed to appear in any Heathcliff episodes because DiC was trying to create a character that would be their own Heathcliff or Garfield, and there was some concern that if Riff Raff interacted with Heathcliff in any way, the McNaught company (owners of Heathcliff) would want ownership of him, so they kept both characters distanced from each other (save for the end credits gag).Having Hector, Wordsworth and Mungo appear in Heathcliff's side of the show didn't cause as many problems because they were lower on the totem pole already they weren't a major threat to Heathcliff's position. Then there's the fact that such a crossover would only make the contrast between Sonja and Cleo more glaring. And an Evasive Fight-Thread Episode would feel like a major cop-out to anyone looking forward to the obvious clash. Having Heathcliff win would upset their fans, while having Riff Raff win probably wouldn't go over well with the execs. Put the two together, and they'd naturally butt heads - which raises the question of who should win? While the show was named after Heathcliff, Riff and his gang were the Ensemble Darkhorses. I think part of the problem may be that both are 'alpha cats': they both enjoy being the guy in charge, the one everyone else is supposed to respect/fear.Because, as good as that sounds, this world has had enough crossovers already.Why, oh why couldn't there have been an episode with Heathcliff and Riff Raff meeting one another? The end credits gag was such a tease!.Package content is not flexible and cannot be modified. Please note that if your order ships in multiple boxes, package components may not all be in the same box. The package item number is also listed at the bottom of your packing slip for reference. On your packing slip, package components are picked and packed individually and are identified with the code "PKGCMP" in the price column. Any backordered components will ship separately as they become available. In-stock components will ship according to our normal shipping time. When you order a package, you are charged one price for all package items. Because most package items or components are also sold separately and may be components of multiple packages, these items may not have the same inventory availability at any point in time. Although packages are sets, items are not physically bundled together. Any item sold as a package on our website is identified by a unique alpha-numeric item number (such as "APH1AB"). A listing of individual items that make up a package is provided on the package item's product detail page along with real-time item availability of those items. A "package" is made up of two or more items sold as a set, often for a reduced price.
