   Well, change of a person’s ways isn’t just the click of a light switch. Tiffany is a good character now because she is still flawed, and understands that. Readers saw the old Tiff for years who was a convenient foil for Luann in middle school/high school but that made her a two dimensional cartoon villain. Since “Luann” is a ‘slice of life" story, it’s usually better to have long standing characters be more complex than how she was portrayed originally. And often that complexity is best written for “villains”.

   Tiffany was the archetype mustache-twirling villain. These days I like her better since she’s matured, far from perfect, and trying to be better while looking at a previous version of herself as a dorm mate.

    The book was very short (as all Seuss childrens books were) and Ted Geisel only trusted Chuck Jones to do the animation. Chuck and Ted had worked together doing cartoons for the war propaganda effort during WWII (Private Snafu) and they also managed to get out an early “Horton Hatches the Egg” for movie theaters. Geisel knew that Jones would stick to his strict wishes while his padding and gags for runtime would still be elemental to the story. For the Grinch That Stole Christmas in 1966, it worked.
