* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Oddly enough, this isn't about the titular Pirates. While [[ArtifactTitle we don't see that many pirates over the strip's run]], those we do see are actively pirating. No, this trope really applies to Terry's adult guardian, Pat Ryan, an ostensible writer whom we never actually see write anything. This is occasionally {{Lampshaded}}.
