-{{Trivia|date=February 2008}}
-*The drawings of the character, 'Bad Daddy' changes between stories about him. When he first appeared in 'Bad Daddy and the Big Swing', he was thin, and had a moustache. When he made his next appearance in 'Bad Daddy Says "No"', he was a lot more podgier, and had no facial hair.
-*'Ed and Ted and Ted's Bad Dog Fred' later appeared in another Andy Griffiths book called [[The Cat On The Mat Is Flat]], but its dialog and drawings were changed:
-**The story was renamed 'Ed and Ted and Ted's Dog Fred' and the 'bad' was dropped.
-**None of the characters actually die in the new version. Instead, they all fall off a cliff, and are about to drown, but get swallowed by a whale named 'Ned'. They later manage to escape from Ned's stomach by getting spurted out of Ned's spout, and parachute down onto the ground with a handkerchief that was in Ed's pocket. Later, when they are safe, Fred now likes Ed, after he rescued Fred and Ted.
-**Ed and Ted's beards are scruffier, and less thick.
-**This version did not mention that the sled was also red.
-*In 'The Very Very, Very Bad Story', the word 'badder' went on for ten pages straight.
+==References==
-*The Bad Ant appears later in other pages, driving his sports car, leaving a track behind him.
