I get it. Heathcliff is just The Far Side if Gary Larson suffered a stroke that caused both an obsession with an orange cat and the removal of any sense of humor whatsoever.

I can't believe this is real. Who is unironically enjoying Heathcliff?

Who is unironically enjoying Heathcliff?

Probably the same people who enjoy Garfield, family circus, Cathy, BC, hagar the horrible, beetle Bailey, and a litany of other painfully unfunny yet somehow ubiquitous comic strips

I'll admit I don't fully get this one

Puppet Heathcliff is a basically an alter ego for Heathcliff. There are only about 10 appearances. And they are usually Iggy telling someone what the puppet is communicating. I know this doesn't really help explain anything that might be the joke here. But at least you have some context.
