Question: When Howard gets home late, he mentions to Liz that he got a speeding ticket. Since he was driving on the shoulder of the road, shouldn't he have got a ticket for that too?

Answer: The cop never states why he pulled Howard over, what he was charging him with or how many tickets he was issued. Howard just says, "I got a speeding ticket.' and holds up a folded piece of paper, so it's likely the ticket was for driving on the shoulder.

Question: When Frollo, has Ezmeralda, in his grip in the the church, he says "I was just imagining a rope around that beautiful neck" and she says "i know what you were imagining", what was he thinking? I assume its something sexual, but its a cartoon.

Answer: It was most certainly sexual. Frollo's whole arc was his fight against his carnal desires (seeing Esmerelda dancing in the fire, sniffing her hair, etc). In order to maintain a G-rating, they couldn't be overtly sexual, which is why it's done through suggestion and subtext.

Harriet the Spy picture

Question: When Harriet, wearing her orange pants and covered in blue paint, took her socks off and held herself up over the bathtub, looking down at the water, why did she just let herself fall (practically dive) into the bathtub instead of simply sitting in it to wash off the paint? Falling into it no doubt splashed water all over the floor.

Answer: She was upset and being dramatic. People do silly things when they're upset. She wasn't focused on the water that was going to come out... she was focused on just being sad and let herself fall in. It's like how sometimes people get mad and throw their controller if they lose a video game... logically, it could break the controller or make a mess, but you're mad in the moment and don't care.
