Line 6:
*** That one may be a better example of ''[[Characterization Marches On]]''.
** This happens again in ''[[Bloom County]]'' with Bill the Cat. For most of the comic, when he wasn't in a drug-induced coma or brain dead, he did nothing but [[The Unintelligible|spout gibberish]]. Toward the end of the comic's run, he was kidnapped and had Donald Trump's brain transplanted into him.
* The dad in ''[[The Family Circus]]'' was originally a lot more [https://web.archive.org/web/20120206160527/http://www.familycircus.com/files/60/images/601022.gif buffoonish], and used to be more devious -- such as sneaking his own booze into a sporting event, banging on the table when Thel tries talking to him, et cetera. By the 1970s he was a lot [https://web.archive.org/web/20071026192212/http://www.familycircus.com/files/70/images/720813.gif trimmer] and wore glasses, and his personality became a lot more sympathetic. His is yet another example of [[Tropes Are Not Bad]].
* Not too many people know that the ''[[U.S. Acres]]'' segments on ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'' were based on a comic strip of the same name, also created by ''[[Garfield]]'' creator Jim Davis. In any event, there weren't too many changes from the ''US Acres'' strip to the animated version... except in two characters: Bo Sheep went from [[The Ditz]] to a somewhat normal-intelligence [[Surfer Dude]]; and Sheldon lost his introspective, meditating edge to become basically a one-note character whose main joke was that his shell was a [[Clown Car Base]].
** That's nothing! In the original comics, Lanolin was a [[No Indoor Voice|loud-mouthed]] [[Jerkass]], who would even give Roy a run for his money, yet in the TV series, she wasn't quite as vicious towards Roy as she was in the comics, but at least she still kept her propensity for yelling at the others when really mad.
