About Tony Ross

Pass the Popcorn: As Scruff gets a bath in "Maid's Day Off?", Puss sits on a chair giggling, holding a tub of popcorn and a cup with a straw in it. He gets his when Scruff splashes him and his treats with bubbles, then Princess concludes he needs a bath too, forcing him to run off to escape.

Literal-Minded: When the Princess is told she's in charge of combing, she thinks that she's in charge of combing everyone's hair. General (opens the door and comes to the princess, his hand over his mouth): I did not wet the bed.

Getting Ready for Bed" Plot: Despite the title, "I Don't Want to Go to Bed" is not an example of the trope because it focuses more on the Princess when she's already in bed. There are, however, two stories that play this trope straight.Department of Redundancy Department: The Princess claims to be putting "some jam and some jam and some jam and jam" on the toast in "Maid's Day Off".
