* TheEveryman: He's an all-around average guy living with a mostly average family. That said, he does show some adept artistic abilities in both writing and drawing. One episode in the Disney run had Judy getting accepted into Vole University when the admittance board thought she drew one of Doug's pieces. The head of the board later told Doug to apply for Vole when he's old enough.



* CoolBigSis: At her best. When she's in a good mood, she's more than happy to give Doug advice on whatever problem he's currently dealing with. This is best exemplified in the Disney episode where she sucks up to a famous actress (who keeps calling her "Jenny Penny") in order to get a recommendation to Vole University. What causes Judy to finally snap is when the actress starts being horrible to Doug. Even when the actress explains she yelled at Doug because she thought Doug was just a delivery boy bringing her dress, Judy exasperatedly states Doug didn't deserve to be yelled at because he's a human being who deserves common courtesy like everyone else.
