DIY Costumes from Doug

Doug is a light-hearted animated television series and sitcom that aired from 1991 to 1999, following the adventures of an 11-year-old boy named Douglas "Doug" Funnie in the town of Bluffington. The show incorporates imaginative storytelling and diary-like narratives from Doug himself, exploring various themes like fitting in, relationships, and self-esteem. Throughout the series, Doug navigates common adolescent struggles while journaling his experiences, from trying to impress his crush, Patti Mayonnaise, to dealing with rumors and bullies. The series paints Doug as an everyday kid with a vivid imagination and a strong moral compass, recording his experiences in his journal like an autobiography. The Funnie family moves from their previous town to Bluffington for a job promotion, and the show is loosely based on Richmond, Virginia. Along with Doug, the characters include his parents Theda and Phil, his older sister Judy, and his faithful companion Porkchop the dog.
