* AuthorExistenceFailure: ''The Cat Who Smelled Smoke'' was to be the thirtieth volume, set to be published in 2008 but put on hold due to the author's failing health. When she passed away in 2011, the book was canceled entirely, and so the series will remain unfinished.

* GeniusBonus: To an extent, the name of the ''Pickaxe Picayune'' could be seen as this. As noted on the main page, to call something ''picayune'' means to say that it is trivial or has very little worth. However, ''picayune'' is not a commonly used word nowadays; it's actually the name of a Spanish coin which is no longer in circulation, and which was accepted as legal tender in the United States for the first half of the 19th century. Arguably, the newspaper's name could be considered an InUniverse example of Genius Bonus, since a community "four hundred miles north of everywhere" is probably not heavily populated with people who are familiar with the etymology of the term.
** The paper also shares its name with a real-life newspaper, the New Orleans ''Times-Picayune'', which was named after the coin (because that's what an issue sold for when the paper was started in 1837).
