* AdultFear: Whenever Pumuckl is in trouble. For example, in one TV episode, he gets sick to his stomach after drinking a bottle of medicine. His histrionics are quite funny - until Eder walks in, picks up the little guy in one hand, and completely panics at not knowing what to do.

Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked/moved


* NotSoDifferent: "Klabauter" are said to love the ocean, but neither Pumuckl nor the Blue Klabauter fit that image. Pumuckl is afraid of water in any form, and the Blue Klabauter (despite living on a ship and wearing an elaborate navy uniform) hides in a chest because he suffers from seasickness.
