Trivia[]

  • Unlike all other media that features Oggy and the Cockroaches (including the original French comic, which utilized pictographs to explain the characters' actions or describe any object), text is heavily utilized in not just onomatopoeia (sound words) and describing objects, but in dialogue, making it the first time that clear speech (other than a moment in the main series that Oggy clearly said "Wow") is heard in any Oggy media. However, Oggy, nor any other of the main characters, never actually speak and when dialogue is used, it is usually by another character in full text (either actually speaking or by writing) or is spoken through a narrator.
    • A possible exception to this is the end of "Oggy New Year #1" where Oggy (told in a third person view to explain a "no roughhousing" policy in his house), the cockroaches, Bob, Jack, and Olivia express their new years' resolutions (entitled Oggy's New Year Roacholutions) in full dialogue. However, it may be written by them in full text.
  • As a production of the United States, the comic has minor deviations from the original, mostly based on American culture, such as fully speaking or displaying a large amount of text in English or using dollars instead of euros (as suggested by all green paper bills in Rorrim Rorrim of Oggy and the Cockroaches #3 or Jack's new years' resolution in Oggy New Year #1).
