Trivia[]

- On a rare occasion, Lisa is seen eating meat after the Season 7 episode Lisa The Vegetarian, but that only happened to Homer inside Marge's dream, so this could be considered as non-canon.
- At the pharmacy, Homer sleeps while hugging a toy octopus the same way he slept underwater in one of the family vacation photos.
- This is the first time that Maggie has ever sung a song. The song she sung was What a Wonderful World. However, this happened in Homer's dream, so it is technically non-canon.
- This episode can be non-canon due to the ending being a tattoo illustration.

Goofs[]
