Editing Pop (section)

=== ''Happy Tree Friends'' ===
Pop first appears in the season 1 episode, ''[[Havin' A Ball]]'', alongside Cub. His debut episode differs from other episodes he appears in as he does not cause Cub harm. ''[[Chip Off the Ol' Block]]'' depicts Pop as unaware of Cub's death, indirectly burning his corpse in the process. Pop would initially see his son die and intentionally burn his body without remorse in a deleted scene, in stark contrast to him mourning his death in later episodes. The creators felt the scene was too harsh and changed it, so Pop was more unaware than he was. Season 2 would eventually portray Pop as more negligent, as shown in ''[[Snip Snip Hooray!]]'', he does not realize Cub has the razor in his mouth and plugs it in, causing him to die. Despite this, Pop does not realize his son died and attempts to cut his hair, assuming he is sleeping. In ''[[Water Way to Go]]'', Pop is a bit more aware of his son's demise after he indirectly buried him. 

After the television series, Pop intentionally kills Cub in ''[[Read 'em and Weep]]'' to exorcise the demon controlling him, without knowing Lumpy already doing it. This marked the first and only instance throughout the whole series where Pop deliberately killed his son. In ''[[Something Fishy]]'', Pop is seen without Cub for the first time in the internet series.
