Tad Strange Misconception
Prior to Cecil's appearance, he wrote on his acting resume that he had voiced a character on Gravity Falls named Tad Strange.[1] Given at that time the The Stanchurian Candidate had not yet aired, it was unknown who Tad was. This character's importance to the show was made more suspicious during the Bill Cipher AMA (Alex Hirsch in character as Bill Cipher), when a question was asked about Tad Strange's identity, and the reply was, "Tad's a real square".[2] Due to this comment, and due to Tad Strange's slightly odd name, many fans assumed that the character a square-shaped dream demon like Bill, and drew fan art of Tad as a blue or purple square in a bowler hat. However, Tad Strange turned out to be a regular human person and one-off gag character.
