** In "Matters of the Kart", another ''Casagrandes'' episode, Irving has dinner at the Casagrandes' apartment after Carl saves him from Sergio's pigeon friends. During the dinner, Frida tries to show Irving some of Carl's baby pictures. Rather than the expected gag of showing baby Carl sitting on a potty or lying naked on a bear-skin rug, the photo Frida shows is of baby Carl having taken the diapers of the other babies at his daycare center. The reason Carl finds this embarrassing is because he doesn't want Irving to see his true colors.[[note]]Namely, that Carl hired Sergio's pigeon friends to attack Irving so he could save him from them, and that Irving would see him as a caring, compassionate person deserving of the pizza go-kart he won in a contest as a result.[[/note]]
