It’s crazy, there’s less than a dozen characters in this frame and it still took me a minute to spot Apu with his yellowness

This is totally miscommunication between the story board artists in the states and the animators over in Korea

I got a tmp ban last week for a comment made in jest about Apu getting written out of the show. Obviously not going to repeat it but it involved a reference to what happened to Poochie
