Doug loses his journal

Doug shouldve fucked his mom.

What would he do instead of this?

Disney's Doug Roger would put him through a SAW style trial (though a non-violent kid's cartoon version)

he would return the book and tell doug that he sucks at writing

Don't read it

Just flip to the last page and write 'You've got some gay as fuck feelings'

Give it back to him and wait to see if Mr Funny ever has the balls to confront you about it.

Yeah he could've WRITTEN IN IT AND DEFACED IT THAT WAY TOO BUT HE DIDN'T

Roger is so based

As the series went on the character dynamics became a lot more complex, Roger was increasingly treated as a misunderstood guy without real bullying tendencies anymore and Doug was often portrayed as the one at fault for thinking the worst of him. Roger also ate some shit when he did push things too far early on, which made this a kind of believable turnaround. The final episode is extensively built around him and Doug being friends with Doug allaying his fears about going to a new school they don't know. Hell Dough himself even got balls by the midpoint of the series and was increasingly the one to break social norms or move other people to action. The whole series actually has a pretty nice gradual character development for basically everyone, I feel like what most people malign about it only really applies to the first season, which given the overall trajectory of the show may have even been intentional to highlight how these characters all eventually grew.

Based actual cartoon watcher. Doug gets such a short shrift

Sorry anon but that doesn't um, align with what people on the internet have said about the show soooooo yeah.

Does Roger end up in a relationship with Patti in the cartoon or am I Mandella Effect'ing some shit?

Roger wasn't really portrayed as a true bully. Nobody was scared of him and people just thought of him as an annoying asshole.

Roger was the guy that people rolled their eyes at because he talked a lot of shit and rolled with a group of sycophants, said group was also pretty lame themselves, they just liked picking on Doug because he came off as an easy target and somehow lamer than them. The whole episode with Percy showed what a real bully looks like and how Roger really was nothing in comparison.

Roger canonically on screen penetrates each and ever girl with his thick, green cock, but it was aired on Disney's Doug, so nobody ever saw that episode.

Roger started out trying shit early on but kept getting his shit shoved in so he stopped and eventually the other kids accepted him. There's that episode where Doug's convinced he has some elaborate ploy to fuck with him and it turns out to just be a birthday party. Doug was basically the last holdout of "Roger's up to no good" and by the end of the show they've even they've managed to patch things up.

It's an interesting theory. Roger potentially making up the stuff about not being able to read the journal because humiliating Doug to that extent is too low even for Roger.

It's been years since I've seen the episode but IIRC that was kind of the implication from Roger's tone. At least that's what I thought when I saw it as a kid.

Roger being a jerk and eventually being friends with Doug is nice because it actually happened to me as a kid. One day I was fighting with some guy and the next day we were friends. Kids don't have complex reasons for how they behave, so things do have a chance of turning around.

This was unironically part of the appeal of Doug at the time, it was a relatively grounded show that had a pretty realistic outlook on how kids developed over time. If you stuck with it after the first season it paid off in a way that most cartoons really weren't doing before then. It's been said to death at this point, but Doug was honestly really novel when it came out, it's just that other shows took notes and did more interesting things with the same kind of premise, so in retrospect it seems tame.

I waited through the 900 second timer just to tell you that this post is based and I fully agree with you.
Doug isn't the greatest show ever, but most people judge it against other shows or just from a couple episodes rather than its totality. I was a little surprised watching through it that the characters actually do develop, Doug in particular becoming less of a bland pushover, and Roger becoming more nuanced and less antagonistic. Doug is a perfectly fine cartoon even if it can be a bit boring at times. I think it's been completely unfairly ridiculed for years, and this is coming from someone who really didn't like the show when I was a kid. Even the Disney version I think was good.

This is why I hate shows or fan theories that whoever the kids are and associate with will extend into adulthood, it's more fun to imagine them growing into different people like that one Rocko episode where his old bully becomes the nicest guy ever.

He probably done it so Doug would owe him a favor down the road. There's plenty of times he's gotten Doug to help him, so he isn't gonna ruin that.

They're the company that make my favourite American ketchup.

my favourite ketchup is Polish, tho

Correct.

Well said anon. I always felt like Nickelodeon chose wisely for their first three Nicktoons. Doug was grounded, laid-back, and character focused, Ren and Stimpy was full of wild, chaotic cartoon chaos, and Rugrats fell somewhere in the middle.

You're thinking of the people Roger and Patti are based on, Jenkins told a story about skipping his high school reunion and the real Patti ends up calling him after and it turns out they both live in new york and she invites him over for dinner and she's married to the real Roger

Ah, thanks anon.

Wasn't Roger illiterate?

The Roger bit was added by Anon Babble to make fun of him for being so cringe. By his account he'd never met the guy she married till then.

>And then she said "I want you to meet my husband".

This guy slides in

Anytime this show gets brought up someone inevitably compares him to Chris Chan.
