* AdaptationalNiceGuy: The little girl who tried to drink Granddad's orange juice was more of a SpoiledBrat in the comic strip storyline. In the comics, she was a lot more demanding and selfish, such as complaining that the Freemans don't have {{Creator/HBO}} and {{Creator/Cinemax}} on their TV. She also refused to leave with the rest of her family when they departed back for New Orleans, until Granddad kicked her out.
