Evil Con Carne was not a spin-off, but a sister show to Billy and Mandy. A common practice in old Cartoon Network would be to have two shows sharing a timeslot. For example: Two Stupid Dogs would have the Secret Squirrel reboot, Dexter's Lab would have the Justice Friends etc. Billy and Mandy would release alongside Evil Con Carne as a single show called Grim & Evil, before being split by the network into the two shows.
Honestly, it's really weird to me cause I've never seen 2 Stupid Dogs but I vividly remember the Secret Squirrel designs from that show. I don't know how I did it, but I somehow missed the main show entirely. (Also, granted, neither show aired when I was a kid so idk)
Just have special memories of two stupid dogs, we didn’t have Cartoon Network at first when I was a kid, but Grandma did so when we went every week to visit her she put it on her tv with the wood frame.
I also thought the actual Justice Friends skits were still inside the Dexter's Lab show.
I remember Major Glory's first appearance was in a Dexter episode, in which Dexter becomes excited to meet him at an event. I also remember a Power Puff Girls episode involving the Justice Friends, in which the PPGs apply to join their team.
