* HowTheCharacterStoleChristmas: Spoofed in "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/kristmas/index.php?issue=9&pageType=index&seriesID=8 How The Kvetch Stole Hannukah!]]", an attempt to teach AnAesop about expressing diversity instead of [[YouMeanXmas homogenization]] during the holiday season.

* OneEpisodeWonder: "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/miscellaneous/index.php?issue=7 Rice Cub]]" ends by asking the reader to tell Peter if he or she would like to read a sequel. Even though some people [[http://www.toonzone.net/forums/platypus-comix/190160-rice-cub-talkback.html answered]] that they would, Peter evidently never found the time to make one.

* DoomsdayClock: A few days after Creator/DonaldTrump won the 2016 Presidential Election, a ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda Majora's Mask]]''-esque [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/top237.jpg countdown]] to his inauguration appeared, along with a WeirdMoon boasting a Trump-like hairstyle.
