Character Designs
- The episode numbers listed in this section are the original production numbers and may not align with the final episode order.
For this episode 21 characters (including all Alfred's brothers and sisters were designed by Harald Siepermann and Hans Bacher, based on the script outline by Herman van Veen. Several other characters appear, for example Dolf's mother, but her Character model sheet is labelled as Episode 5 and 6, even though she does not appear in those. Other characters not included in designs specifically linked to this episode are Willem Bij and his family who appear in the second cut of the episode. They were originally designed for Episodes 7 and 22. Another character remains unnamed, but the character design sheet calls this character De Duizendpoot (the centipede) which shows up walking by when Alfred is sitting in the clog with his brothers and sisters.
Also a character design for a young Hannibal Nijlpaard appears in the original line up, who at some stage of the production might've been part of the story. Character model sheets for Big, Hannes and Wannes are also linked to this episode (as they are linked to episodes 1-6), but do not appear in the episode, nor in the line up.
Characters designed for this episode were drawn primarily in March through August of 1988, with Alfred's design as a small child designed last.[1]
