* The whole little boy ghost concept was apparently conceived without anyone considering that he would presumably have to be a dead child. Creator/HarveyComics spent decades trying to backpedal away from this macabre implication, retconning ghosts as a type of supernatural creature rather than spirits of the dead. For many years, if anyone asked how Casper died, the official answer would be that his parents were ghosts when they married. Then came [[{{Film/Casper}} the 1995 feature film]], which explicitly portrayed him as a dead child, even giving a backstory that explained he died of "getting sick" (possibly either hypothermia or [[CatchYourDeathOfCold pneumonia]]) after playing out in the cold for too long. Since then, however, most ''Casper'' media has quietly returned to downplaying any implication of him being a dead child.
