* {{CloudCuckoolander}}: He manages to confuse "tai chi" and "chai tea," which makes for some... ''interesting'' tea ceremonies.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the animated series he's far less of a {{Jerkass}} and is usually portrayed as well-meaning or even heroic, even if he tends to make a mess of things.



* DumbBlonde
* FunnyAnimal

to:

* DumbBlonde
DeadpanSnarker: He's prone to casual sarcastic aside comments, whether they're appropriate for the situation or not.
* FunnyAnimalDumbBlonde: He's got yellow fur, and he's... [[DogsAreDumb not the brightest bulb]].
* FunnyAnimal



* LargeHam

to:

* LargeHamLargeHam: Grimmy is loud and expressive and is by far the character who [[ChewingTheScenery Chews The Scenery]] the most, to an impressive degree for a comic character.



* AlmightyMom
* FurryConfusion
* LikeASonToMe: Grimmy, Attila, and Ralph.
* NonMammalMammaries: Averted.

to:

* AlmightyMom
AlmightyMom: Her pets certainly view her this way,
* FurryConfusion
FurryConfusion: She's an anthropomorphic goose who has two pet dogs and one pet cat.
* LikeASonToMe: Grimmy, Attila, and Ralph.
Ralph, who all call her "Mom" and treat her like their mother. Grimmy and Attila even give her flowers on Mother's Day.
* NonMammalMammaries: Averted.Averted; she doesn't have any visible breasts.



* CatsAreMean: He often messes with Grimmy.
* FatAndSkinny: With Sumo the Cat.

to:

* CatsAreMean: Downplayed. He often messes with Grimmy.
Grimmy, but Grimmy tends to be the meaner one of the two.
* FatAndSkinny: With Sumo the Cat. In the early days of the comic, Atilla himself was quite fat, but ArtEvolution kicked in and he slimmed down to the point where he's now the skinniest character in the comic.



* OutOfFocus: Lately, after the introduction of Ralph.

to:

* LovableCoward: Downplayed in the comic strip, where he can be timid and anxious as a contrast to the more upbeat Grimmy, but it isn't a major part of his personality. Very much played up in the animated series, where he's undergone some CharacterExaggeration and is a nervous wreck.
* OutOfFocus: Lately, He's still very much part of the main cast, but his role was drastically reduced after the introduction of Ralph.




to:

* VitriolicBestBuds: He and Grimmy have this dynamic. Sometimes they get along and hang out like best buds, sometimes they fight like nobody's business.



* {{CloudCuckoolander}}

to:

* {{CloudCuckoolander}}{{CloudCuckoolander}}: He manages to confuse "tai chi" and "chai tea," which makes for some... ''interesting'' tea ceremonies.




to:

* TheWatson: Less inquisitive than many examples, but his role in ''many'' strips is just to be there as someone for Grimmy to talk to. Either he doesn't say or do anything, or he asks a question that allows Grimmy to deliver the strip's punchline.
