* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Owl wasn't a total {{Jerkass}} but was pompous, yet in the puzzle sections she was somewhat nicer than usual, and more BigFun than prone to snark. Also, the blue foxes were made into slightly nicer characters, and Scarface's villainy was toned down quite a lot.

Added DiffLines:

''Farthing Wood Friends'' was a SpinOff of ''WesternAnimation/TheAnimalsOfFarthingWood'' published as a 130-part comic book with Christmas and Easter specials, between 1992 and 1997.

It had a puzzle section and freebies included with almost every issue.

After a final issue in 1997, it was cancelled.

!!Tropes applying to Farthing Wood Friends:
* AdaptationExpansion: It outlived its parent series by two years, but the original work was shown in film comic form up until the end.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Owl wasn't a total {{Jerkass}} but was pompous, yet in the puzzle sections she was somewhat nicer than usual, and more BigFun than prone to snark. Also, the blue foxes were made into slightly nicer characters, and Scarface's villainy was toned down quite a lot.
* AlternateContinuity: The puzzle sections featured the animals living FunnyAnimal lifestyles as HalfDressedCartoonAnimal sometimes, and couldn't be reconciled with the series proper.
* ArtShift: The puzzle section of the magazine was a major shift from the television series, being more cartoony and with ToonPhysics.
* CanonForeigner: There were occasional new characters who didn't appear in the series proper, such as friends of Trey (the deer who was antagonist in third and final season) and the Shrew family's additional relatives.
* DenserAndWackier: As a whole, it was comedy-oriented for the rest of the magazine outside the educational segments.
* FilmComic: All 130 issues' comic section were straight-up screencaps of the episodes, with it being on a colored background and text underneath.
* FunnyAnimal: The sections with the puzzle turned the main characters into anthropomorphised animals beyond what the television series had, with them having kitchens, fireplaces etc. and eating.
