* A week-long arc in ''ComicStrip/FoxTrot'' saw Peter pick up a book-on-CD version of the tale to listen to while he slept in the hopes of subconsciously absorbing it for a test the next day. Consequently, his dreams that night were all centered on the story; he was Odysseus, Jason was one of his crewmen (who briefly took over the dream by replacing the cyclopses with ''Franchise/XMen'' characters), Andy resided on the island of lotus eaters (now "tofu eaters"), Roger was a god of leaf blowers, Paige was a BoyBand medley-singing siren, and Jason’s pet iguana was Penelope (which {{Squick}}ed Peter out enough to wake him up).
