[[caption-width-right:350:Trawn, Shroomy, NJ, and Aerynn will bring peace to Cyberspace...eventually.]]
->''Welcome to the internet...of the future! It's evolved beyond its dimensions and become a fully immersive virtual world! Anyone can log onto this world from anywhere and take on [[DigitalAvatar any form or shape]]! Some only come to check their email or bank account...others spend much of their lives here. Some find jobs. Some find love. Some get robbed. Some get scammed. Some get ruined. And some do the ruining. The truth is that, no matter how advanced things get, the same problems of the past exist in the future.''
-->-Introduction to {{Pilot}}
''[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?seriesID=11 Electric Wonderland]]'' joined Peter Paltridge's PlatypusComix in 2007. Unlike the other flagship series, it has a strong reliance on continuity and connecting events. Set in a futuristic[[hottip:*:WordOfGod says each comic takes place approximately 100 years after Paltridge wrote it]], Internet-based CityOfAdventure called "Nettropolis", the comic focuses mainly on the staff of the ''Nettropolis Free Press'', which originally consisted of IntrepidReporter Eileen "Trawn" Peccadillo, pompous ninja NJ, naive painter Shroomy, and unpredictable MagicalGirl Aerynn Arlia. Although Trawn hopes to end corruption with their independent newspaper, the comic spends more time exploring the potential of a community evolved from {{Cyberspace}}.
---------
!!This comic provides examples of:
* AccentuateTheNegative: "The Nameless Decade," in which Lululu (an outside agent of Trawn's paper) takes a field trip to the Nettropolis Museum and learns about how society had decayed from 2000-2009, features this trope when discussing [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=8&page=5 television]], [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=8&page=6 movies]], and [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=8&page=7 music]].
* ActionGirl: Trawn's friend Natasha Wing, who overthrows corruption by working for the Nettropolis Police Department.
* AffectionateParody: "The Time That People Forgot" has a three-page [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=11&page=1 opening]] modeled after Disney's "I'm No Fool" shorts starring Jiminy Cricket.
* AlliterativeFamily: Natasha and her parents, antivirus software developer Nathaniel Wing and his wife Nina Wing (CEO of Wing Antivirus Corporation), all have first names that begin with "N".
* AlliterativeName: Aerynn Arlia, Lululu Lopez
* AprilFoolsDay: Celebrated in "Day of the Fools", [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=12&page=4 much to Trawn's inconvenience]].
* ArtEvolution: The first issue was illustrated by one of Paltridge's friends, Jesse Barboza. Since he did not sign on to illustrate successive issues, Paltridge had to ease the characters into his usual style without deviating too far from the original designs. Compare [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ewpeople1_8574.jpg this scene]] from Trawn and NJ's first meeting to [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ewcover1_2604.png the cover]] Paltridge added to the first issue in 2009, to [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Electric_Wonderland_White_Border_5667.gif this promotional drawing]] added to the Platypus Comix character bio page in 2010.
* AsianAirhead: Natasha ''kind of'' counts. She's quite competent at [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=12&page=7 fighting bad guys]], but she also got [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=16 straight C's]] in college.
* BerserkButton: Natasha gets [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=16 enraged]] when someone asks to borrow some of the money her parents ''don't'' give her.
* BittersweetEnding: By the end of "Wings," Natasha has proven her worth as a crimefighter, escaped her father's shadow, and become a full-time member of the NPD, but her [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=38 newfound fame]] starts [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=39 interfering]] with Trawn's attempts to spend time with her. (Fortunately, "[=LuLo=]" already showed that they [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=16 eventually]] [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=17 got back together]].)
* BrattyHalfPint: Lululu Lopez
* ButtMonkey: NJ rarely finds prolonged satisfaction or goes one day without enduring [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=2&page=3 a spell from Aerynn]].
* TheCameo: Sargent Squealy from ''LaverneAndShirley In the Army'' (which Paltridge called, "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/kidzone/worstshowever.html the worst TV show of all time]]") acts as [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=3&page=11&seriesID=11 a forum moderator]] in "In the Zone".
* CerebusSyndrome: The comic has gradually become more dramatic than comedic. Paltridge acknowledged "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=5&pageType=index&seriesID=11 Deviantaaargh]]", the fifth comic, as the start of the shift.
* CharacterFocus: Trawn's founding of the ''Netropolis Free Press'' sets the events of ''Electric Wonderland'' in motion, but some issues focus more on her allies than on her.
* ChekhovsGun: At the beginning of the ''[[TheOregonTrail Oregon Trail]]'' test in "The Time That People Forgot", NJ [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=11&page=10 purchases a piano for his group]] so they could have something to dispose later when the time comes to lighten the load. Later, he accidentally crashes his group's wagon into the river, so they [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=11&page=12 use the piano]] as a backup vehicle.
* ChekhovsGunman: Before Paltridge revealed Natasha Wing as a friend of Trawn with a detailed backstory, she was introduced in "The Search For Parker" as [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=24 a random cop]] NJ unsuccessfully tried to report Aerynn's powers to. (However, she had already been Trawn's friend since high school.)
** [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Originally]], Paltridge planned to gradually reveal Natasha's connections to Trawn, and how they got separated. However, he realized that in order to properly resolve "[=LuLo=]," he had to reunite Trawn and Natasha sooner. Thus, the readers learned about the connections much earlier than intended, leaving Paltridge to plan a flashback of her backstory for a later issue.
* ChristmasEpisode: "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&pageType=index&seriesID=11 Inevitable Christmas Adventure]]", which (unlike most of Platypus Comix's "Kristmas Klassics") ties into the series' main continuity; Aerynn reveals NJ's real name (Nate), and some scenes set up a sub-plot regarding the disappearance of Shroomy's boyfriend, Parker.
* CityOfAdventure: Nettropolis.
* CompletelyMissingThePoint: NJ's girlfriend, Beatrice, [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&page=17 accuses him]] of this in "Inevitable Christmas Adventure".
* CoversAlwaysLie: "Formation Team Trawn" has a [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=2&pageType=index&seriesID=11 cover]] with Aerynn exclaiming, "[[TheBigCountry I said I would shoot, but you didn't believe me!]] [[TheRenAndStimpyShow Why didn't you believe me??]]" She doesn't actually shoot anyone in that comic.
* TheDogIsTheMastermind: [[spoiler: Contrary to Trawn's and Lululu's initial assumptions, "the guy who yells a lot" did ''not'' bomb the Nettropollis Mall in "[=LuLo=]". [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=18 His cat did.]]]]
* DumbMuscle: NJ's friend Trevor takes the form of a bull named "Torro" and [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=5&page=7 doesn't appear very bright]].
* DysfunctionJunction
* EmbarrassingFirstName: At the beginning of "Inevitable Christmas Adventure," Aerynn explains to the others that NJ does not want anyone on the Internet to call him "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&page=2 Nate]]", so they should try to forget learning that is his name. [[HypocriticalHumor Later that same page, NJ enters the building, and Aerynn calls him "Nate" in front of everyone else.]]
* EveryoneMeetsEveryone: ''Electric Wonderland'''s [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=1&seriesID=11 pilot]] is currently the only such comic you'll find at the Platypus Comix website.
* EvilIsHammy: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=22 Nina Wing]] in "Friends of Lululu", in order to evoke [[MightyMorphinPowerRangers Rita Repulsa]].
* {{Expy}}: WordOfGod says Natasha Wing joined the comic after Peter Paltridge [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/onlyme/howtofixchuck.html got annoyed]] with ''{{Chuck}}'' introducing a strong Asian female, Anna Wu, then [[DemotedToExtra demoting her to extra]].
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: After Lululu helps Trawn find the bomber of the Nettropolis Mall in "[=LuLo=]," Trawn and the others publish their discoveries and eagerly await the good publicity this will give their newspaper. Television reporters announce the capturing of the suspect, but only refer to Trawn as "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=14 an anonymous informant]]" who helped find him. [[spoiler: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=16 He wasn't the real bomber either.]]]]
-->'''Lululu:''' Go figure, how could a day that starts with a deadly explosion possibly go wrong?
* FieryRedhead: Trawn
-->'''Trawn:''' I've always dreamed of being a reporter, but not the kind the few conglomerate-controlled news outlets are currently looking for today! I want to print what they don't let me! I want to dig into the dirt and expose scandals at the highest levels of power! ''Nettropolis Free Press'' will launch a new era of hard-hitting journalism, unafraid of offending investors and losing advertisers! Within three years every corrupt member of government will fear us! That's basically it. What do you think?
-->'''NJ:''' I'm just...here to find a job. I think you need someone to talk to!
* FiveManBand:
** TheHero: Eileen "Trawn" Peccadillo
** TheLancer: NJ
** TheSmartGuy: Aerynn Arlia
** TheBigGuy: Torro
** TheChick: Shroomy
** [[SixthRanger The Sixth Ranger]]: Lululu Lopez
* FiveTokenBand: The Eco-Teens (Nettropolis' equivalent to [[CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers Planeteers]]) consist of [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=12 American Skeeter, German Gretel,]] [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=13 South African Squami, Korean Ling-Ling, and Hispanic Lululu]] (who left at the end of their first comic). Since Squami only has nine fingers and Lululu has a mermaid tail instead of mobile legs, they serve as [[TwoferTokenMinority Twofer Token Minorities]].
* FollowInMyFootsteps: Natasha subverted this by studying about antivirus protection, then entering the police force instead of her parents' business. However, she also served as [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=37 spokesman]] for the antivirus software.
* GeniusCripple: Lululu can't walk because of her mermaid tail, but she [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=12 knows a lot about bombs]]. She may also qualify as a GeniusDitz.
* HalfwayPlotSwitch: "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=0 Wings]]" seems to do this three times, from Aerynn sensing impending doom, to [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=6 Shroomy]]'s lifelong dream getting shattered, to [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=10 NJ]]'s optimism getting shattered, to [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=15 Natasha]] fulfilling ''her'' lifelong dream (that story takes up more than half of the comic).
* {{Hammerspace}}: Common since Paltridge's interpretation of a Cyberspace community has no physical boundaries:
** The ''Nettropolis Free Press'' domain, which serves as the gang's workplace and also their website, is BiggerOnTheInside. It resembles [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=1&page=13 an old, abandoned building]] on the outside, and [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=1&page=14 a comfortable, spacious loft]] on the inside.
** After Natasha graduated college in "Wings," her parents gave her a BagOfHolding resembling [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=18 a cardboard box]]. She put all her belongings in it when moving out of the dorm, [[AwesomeButImpractical but a truck ran over it]] [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=19 as she exited]].
** Aerynn sneaks Trawn into John Quaff's press conference in "Friends of Lululu" by [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=3 hiding her in her sombrero]].
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=11&page=17 Torro allows the army to take him over NJ or Jodie]]]] in "The Time That People Forgot", and [[spoiler: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=11&page=18 beats]] all the other ''Oregon Trail'' players]] as a result.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: At the end of "Friends of Lululu," the Eco-Teens [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=24 turn against their founder, John Quaff]], after learning about his oil spill.
* HypocriticalHumor: Trawn ends up in a domain containing [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=12&page=13 nothing but amalgamations of pop culture references]] during one part of "Day of the Fools", causing her to complain about Internet comedians who uncleverly acknowledge popular media all the time. Never mind that her own creator made the references she criticized while unknowingly following his script.
* IGotARock: In "The Time That People Forgot", NJ gets assigned [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=11&page=7 a giant rock]] as his report subject, and later has to play [[IncrediblyLamePun Iraq]] in [[AxisPowersHetalia Hetalia]] class.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja: NJ uses the screen name "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=1&page=5 Night Ninja]]," and he has claimed his nickname stands for "[=NinJa=]." [[IronicNickname Ironically]], he hasn't hasn't performed any ninja stunts since the time he [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=1&page=6 saved Shroomy]] from a [[{{Film/Alien}} xenomorph]] in the first issue, [[HighlyVisibleNinja and he frequently goes out in public during the daytime.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Trawn can occasionally seem single-minded and forceful in her movement for her newspaper's success, but she does show sympathy for [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=1&page=17 Aerynn]] (due to her rejections from society) and [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=30 Lululu]] (due to her household's state of poverty).
* KatanasAreJustBetter: NJ and Natasha both sport some, but NJ rarely uses his, and Natasha's doubles as a LaserSword.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Lululu having a mermaid tail came [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=3 out of left field]] to people who read "[=LuLo=]" when it first came out, but people who read her bio (written about a year after her debut) beforehand won't feel too surprised.
* MandatoryLine: Lululu appears on [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=12&page=17 the third-to-last page]] of "Day of the Fools" and asks Trawn what's going on.
** Her appearance on [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=37 the third-to-last page]] of "Wings" might also count.
* MediumAwareness: In "Day of the Fools", Aerynn uses the chant, "Ala-Ka-[[{{Bone}} Jeff Smith]]!" to [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=12&page=1 change the font]] of Platypus Comix's word balloons.
* MediumBlending: During the beginning of "Wings," a fear of impending doom causes Aerynn to accidentally [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=2 teleport]] into ''{{Film/Alien}}''.
* MilestoneCelebration: During the 10th anniversary of Platypus Comix's parent site, animation fan community Toon Zone, Paltridge released an ''Electric Wonderland'' comic ("[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=3&pageType=index In the Zone]]") in which the ''NFP'' staff ends up in Toon Zone's domain while pursuing a thief.
* MisfitMobilizationMoment: One in "Inevitable Christmas Adventure," as NJ, Shroomy, Aerynn, and Beatrice all [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&page=14 head to the Cyber Middle East]] to rescue Trawn, and two in "[=LuLo=]," as the entire ''NFP'' staff rushes to [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=1 investigate the bombing of the mall]] and later [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=12 reports on the discovered suspect]].
* MonsterOfTheWeek: The protagonists face a different villain every issue, unless the issue doesn't contain any adventures.
* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: The Eco-Teens' first attempt to summon a GiantMecha gets interrupted by [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=21 the monster squishing Gretel]].

* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Bruce Timm is drawn in TimmStyle during [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=3&page=15 his visit to Toon Zone]] during "In The Zone".
* NoodleIncident: NJ describes [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=24 several]] when detailing Aerynn's abilities to Natasha at the end of "The Search For Parker".
* OddShapedPanel: The [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=1&page=11 taxi ride]] that Trawn, NJ, and Shroomy take in the first issue is drawn with tilted panels to simulate the bumpiness felt as the driver struggles to make his steering wheel reappear after a glitch occurs.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/newbiestuff/electricwonderland.html characters page]] includes the real names of Trawn (Eileen), NJ (Nate), and Torro (Trevor), as well as those of five characters who already use their real names in Nettropolis, but lists that Shroomy's real name is unknown.
* OnlySaneMan: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=1&page=18 NJ]], most of the time.
** Aerynn held the SanityBall while NJ was going out with Beatrice.
-->So, [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&page=2 everyone notices]] she looks like a guy, but [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&page=4 no one minds]] he's dating [[RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer a DEER]]?
* PaintingTheFourthWall: After Trawn falls out of a ventilation shaft in "Friends of Lululu," she speaks in [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=14 upside-down word balloons]] as she dangles out from the vent's opening.
* ParachutePetticoat: Shroomy's dress [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=10 acts as one]] after she jumps out of a window in "The Search For Parker," but it collapses after Aerynn grabs her.
* ParasolOfPain: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&page=19 Aerynn gives one to Shroomy]] at the end of "Inevitable Christmas Adventure" after Shroomy realizes Parker didn't get her a Christmas present.
* PetTheDog: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=2&page=5 Aerynn assures NJ]] in "Formation Team Trawn" that she'd never kill him or Trawn, since Trawn's the kindest person she met.
-->I'm not exactly bad. [[WhoFramedRogerRabbit I'm just rendered that way.]]
* PunnyName: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=14 Nea Politan]], the DarkMagicalGirl from "The Search For Parker," who's part Caucasian, part African-American, and part Native American.
* PutOnABus: Parker [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&page=1 went absent]] around the time the events of "Inevitable Christmas Adventure" occurred, though Shroomy expected him to return eventually.
** TheBusCameBack: As detailed in "The Search For Parker," Parker [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=21 returned]] to the ''Nettropolis Free Press'' domain after two ComicBookTime months (seven months passed in Real World Time), only to borrow $50 from Shroomy. Aerynn then advised Shroomy to [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=22 dump him]] so she could find a worthier boyfriend.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The staff of the ''Nettropolis Free Press''.
-->'''NJ:''' Now we're gaining a girl with a mushroom on her head? Do you have any hiring standards at ALL?
-->'''Trawn:''' Of course not. I hired ''you'', remember?
* RedOniBlueOni: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=18 Nina Wing and Nathaniel Wing]], respectively.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Shroomy's flashback in "Wings" details her [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=7 forming a life-long dream]] to work at the Imaginarium, only to find it [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=9 closing down]] by the time she becomes old enough to work. WordOfGod says this was inspired by Paltridge forming a childhood dream of writing newspaper comics, only to find newspapers going bankrupt by the time he became old enough to work.
* RuleOfFunny: Personified in Aerynn Arlia, ''Electric Wonderland'''s MagicalGirl character with no apparent limits. Aerynn can literally do anything at any time, as long as it's amusing -- usually with NJ as [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=8 the victim]].
* ShaggyDogStory:
** Aerynn and Shroomy (with NJ unwittingly providing [[GrievousHarmWithABody occasional assistance during fight scenes]]) [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=9 break into a database]] and [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=17 face]] a DarkMagicalGirl during "The Search For Parker," only to come up empty-handed after each place they visit.
** "Day of the Fools" ends with [[spoiler: Trawn losing her RaceAgainstTheClock to warn Aerynn about a scan for hackers and magicians, then learning that [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=12&page=18 those scans never detect Aerynn's powers]]]].
* ShoutOut:
** Trawn's screenname and [[TronLines outfit]] are quite similar to those of the tile character of [[{{TRON}} a certain Disney movie]] set in {{Cyberspace}}.
** "Inevitable Christmas Adventure" [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&page=2 contains]] [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&page=9 numerous]] [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&page=10 references]] to ''RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer''.
** After Shroomy asks Aerynn if hacking into the Nonspecific Supply Co. database in "The Search For Parker" will prove dangerous, she answers, "It'll be [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=4 Dangeresque]]..." Some ''HomestarRunner'' fans overhear and promptly decide to record this Shout-Out at the Homestar Wiki. (The comic soon ''did'' get [[http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/Comics_Sightings#Platypuscomix.net mentioned]] there.)
*** That same comic page also contains a quote from ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff''.
** Trawn [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=14 organizes a celebration]] at "[[MarioIsMissing Weegee]]'s Pizza" after catching the bomber in "[=LuLo=]".
** The guy at the [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=7 "Make a You a Robot" booth]] in Shroomy's flashback in "Wings" looks bears a strong resemblance to [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Classic Robotnik]].
** "The Time That People Forgot" [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=11&page=1 reveals]] that NJ and Torro attended school at [[{{Comicbook/X-Men}} Julian Zavier's School For Ungifted Students]].
** One of NJ's and Torro's classmates in "The Time That People Forgot", [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=11&page=4 Jodie Vasquez]], has the same last name and initials as JhonenVasquez.
* [[SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer Lady Not Appearing In The Tenth Anniversary Ensemble]]: The [[http://torquesmacky.deviantart.com/#/d3a1ku5 drawing]] Paltridge made for Platypus Comix's 10th anniversary includes all of the ''NFP'' founding staff members, except Trawn.
* SlidingScaleOfGenderInequality: It scores 6. Currently among the heroes, women outnumber men 5:2, and men always seem to get the worse character types.
* SpeechbubblesInterruption: At the beginning of "In The Zone," word balloons from a conversation between NJ, Trawn, and Aerynn [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=3&page=1 overlap the boxes]] recapping the comic's Cyberspace setting and main characters. [[YouShouldKnowThisAlready Readers should know these details already.]]
* SpiritualSuccessor: One of the Platypus Comix books, containing stories Paltridge deemed too old and/or subpar to keep on his website, reportedly contains an unreleased Cyberspace-themed comic from the short-lived series ''Cocktails and Dreams''.
* StepfordSmiler: Shroomy fits Type A.
* SuperSenses: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=12&page=3 Aerynn grants Trawn]] the ability to [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=12&page=5 hear the private messages]] people send each other in "Day of the Fools".
* TemptingFate: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=10 NJ's flashback]] in "Wings" begins as he boasts that he earned a Master's Degree and can have any job he wants. Cut to three months later: a down-on-his-luck and desperate NJ applies for a janitorial job in a department store.
** After NJ's boss accuses him of alcoholism and sexism, NJ [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=14 mentally wishes]] he were dead, then [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=33 catches a virus]] one second later, that could very well have killed him (and everyone else in Nettropolis) if not for Natasha and Nathaniel Wing sending a cure.
* ThreeDimensionalEpisode: The covers to every issue are in legitimate 3-D, and work with either red-blue anaglyph glasses or a Nintendo3DS.
* ThrowTheDogABone:
** Shroomy gets one in "Deviantaaargh". After she goes from woefully overlooked on DeviantArt, to receiving two consecutive Daily Deviations, ([[spoiler: both of which came as a result of Aerynn's hacking]]) to [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=5&page=19 falling from a brief and high jump in fame]], Moth-Grrl (one of [=deviantART=]'s most popular artists of the time) still puts Shroomy on her friend list and [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=5&page=23 congratulates her achievement]].
** Trawn arguably got one in "[=LuLo=]". The ''Nettropolis Free Press'' failed to become more famous because of the other reporters referring to her as an "anonymous informant", but she at least reunited with Natasha, and the two of them and Lululu got to [[spoiler: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=18 capture]] [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=19 the real]] [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=20 bomber]] because of Trawn's EurekaMoment]].
* {{Tuckerization}}: WordOfGod says when defining the character of Trawn, Paltridge decided to model her in part after his friend Eileen Cruz, who founded Toon Zone. Cruz and Trawn have the same first name as a result.
** Also, Trawn's last name, Pecadillo, rhymes with Eileen Cruz's maiden name, Delgadillo.
* TwoLinesNoWaiting: "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&pageType=index Inevitable Christmas Adventure]]" has two subplots.
* UnfortunateImplications: Ling-Ling [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=13 lampshaded in-universe]] the potential connection between her yellow costume and her race, and also pointed out that Ling-Ling isn't her real name.
* UselessUsefulSpell: Aerynn [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=6 casts one]] as she and Shroomy investigate a database in "The Search For Parker."
--> '''Shroomy:''' Why can't you just make us invisible, create a sound-muting field so no one can hear us, and make us transparent so we could walk through walls?
--> '''Aerynn:''' Yeah! Why don't I?
--> ''(Aerynn casts the requested spell on herself and Shroomy, causing both of them to fall out of the building)''
--> '''Aerynn:''' ...Right. THAT'S why I don't do that...
* WeCouldHaveAvoidedAllThis: After the close call with Nea Politan in "The Search For Parker," Aerynn [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=20 re-reads the post]] that caused them to search in her domain, and realizes the author was actually named, "P'''o'''rker".
* WholeEpisodeFlashback: "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=11&page=0 The Time That People Forgot]]" fashes back to when NJ, Torro, and their classmate Jodie had to survive TheWildWest while playing an immersive version of ''TheOregonTrail''.
** "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&pageType=index Wings]]" consists of four flashbacks, one of which encompasses more than half of the comic.
* WholePlotReference: "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=0 Friends of Lululu]]" serves as a parody of ''CaptainPlanet'' with a dash of ''MightyMorphinPowerRangers''. This was reflected in its working title, "Commander Eco and the Eco-Teens."
* WideEyedIdealist: During Parker's two month absence, Shroomy continued to deny the possibility that Parker didn't love her, even [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=22 after]] he admitted coming back into her life for selfish desires.
* [[spoiler: WillfullyWeak]]: Aerynn admits at [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=12&page=19 the end of "Day of Fools"]] that [[spoiler:she practices a unique brand of magic, and often feels too scared to use its full potential]].
* WitchWithACapitalB: NJ [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=2&page=4 used this insult]] on Aerynn in "Formation Team Trawn".
* WorldOfWoobie: See the YMMV page's entry on TheWoobie for more details. It currently lists sad or slightly sad stories for all but three of the main characters.
* YankTheDogsChain: Lululu receives a wheelchair in "Friends of Lululu," but [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=9 it gets stolen from her]] as she uses it outside for the first time.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Compare Natasha's appearance at [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=24 the end of "The Search For Parker']] with the design used from "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=13 LuLo]]" onward.
** The fact the comic changed illustrators during its run raises the possibility that ''[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=1&page=18 everyone]]'' [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=1 has fallen victim to this]].
* {{Zeerust}}: Sometimes, characters use technology dated by 2000s standards (such as [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=4 Betamax tapes]]). Paltridge reportedly hopes that this will prevent any references that will date in the future from sticking out.

-->-Introduction to {{Pilot}}
''[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?seriesID=11 Electric Wonderland]]'' joined Peter Paltridge's PlatypusComix in 2007. Unlike the other flagship series, it has a strong reliance on continuity and connecting events. Set in a futuristic[[hottip:*:WordOfGod says each comic takes place approximately 100 years after Paltridge wrote it]], Internet-based CityOfAdventure called "Nettropolis", the comic focuses mainly on the staff of the ''Nettropolis Free Press'', which originally consisted of IntrepidReporter Eileen "Trawn" Peccadillo, pompous ninja NJ, naive painter Shroomy, and unpredictable MagicalGirl Aerynn Arlia. Although Trawn hopes to end corruption with their independent newspaper, the comic spends more time exploring the potential of a community evolved from {{Cyberspace}}.
---------
!!This comic provides examples of:
* AccentuateTheNegative: "The Nameless Decade," in which Lululu (an outside agent of Trawn's paper) takes a field trip to the Nettropolis Museum and learns about how society had decayed from 2000-2009, features this trope when discussing [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=8&page=5 television]], [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=8&page=6 movies]], and [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=8&page=7 music]].
* ActionGirl: Trawn's friend Natasha Wing, who overthrows corruption by working for the Nettropolis Police Department.
* AffectionateParody: "The Time That People Forgot" has a three-page [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=11&page=1 opening]] modeled after Disney's "I'm No Fool" shorts starring Jiminy Cricket.
* AlliterativeFamily: Natasha and her parents, antivirus software developer Nathaniel Wing and his wife Nina Wing (CEO of Wing Antivirus Corporation), all have first names that begin with "N".
* AlliterativeName: Aerynn Arlia, Lululu Lopez
* AprilFoolsDay: Celebrated in "Day of the Fools", [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=12&page=4 much to Trawn's inconvenience]].
* ArtEvolution: The first issue was illustrated by one of Paltridge's friends, Jesse Barboza. Since he did not sign on to illustrate successive issues, Paltridge had to ease the characters into his usual style without deviating too far from the original designs. Compare [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ewpeople1_8574.jpg this scene]] from Trawn and NJ's first meeting to [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ewcover1_2604.png the cover]] Paltridge added to the first issue in 2009, to [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Electric_Wonderland_White_Border_5667.gif this promotional drawing]] added to the Platypus Comix character bio page in 2010.
* AsianAirhead: Natasha ''kind of'' counts. She's quite competent at [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=12&page=7 fighting bad guys]], but she also got [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=16 straight C's]] in college.
* BerserkButton: Natasha gets [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=16 enraged]] when someone asks to borrow some of the money her parents ''don't'' give her.
* BittersweetEnding: By the end of "Wings," Natasha has proven her worth as a crimefighter, escaped her father's shadow, and become a full-time member of the NPD, but her [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=38 newfound fame]] starts [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=39 interfering]] with Trawn's attempts to spend time with her. (Fortunately, "[=LuLo=]" already showed that they [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=16 eventually]] [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=17 got back together]].)
* BrattyHalfPint: Lululu Lopez
* ButtMonkey: NJ rarely finds prolonged satisfaction or goes one day without enduring [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=2&page=3 a spell from Aerynn]].
* TheCameo: Sargent Squealy from ''LaverneAndShirley In the Army'' (which Paltridge called, "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/kidzone/worstshowever.html the worst TV show of all time]]") acts as [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=3&page=11&seriesID=11 a forum moderator]] in "In the Zone".
* CerebusSyndrome: The comic has gradually become more dramatic than comedic. Paltridge acknowledged "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=5&pageType=index&seriesID=11 Deviantaaargh]]", the fifth comic, as the start of the shift.
* CharacterFocus: Trawn's founding of the ''Netropolis Free Press'' sets the events of ''Electric Wonderland'' in motion, but some issues focus more on her allies than on her.
* ChekhovsGun: At the beginning of the ''[[TheOregonTrail Oregon Trail]]'' test in "The Time That People Forgot", NJ [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=11&page=10 purchases a piano for his group]] so they could have something to dispose later when the time comes to lighten the load. Later, he accidentally crashes his group's wagon into the river, so they [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=11&page=12 use the piano]] as a backup vehicle.
* ChekhovsGunman: Before Paltridge revealed Natasha Wing as a friend of Trawn with a detailed backstory, she was introduced in "The Search For Parker" as [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=24 a random cop]] NJ unsuccessfully tried to report Aerynn's powers to. (However, she had already been Trawn's friend since high school.)
** [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Originally]], Paltridge planned to gradually reveal Natasha's connections to Trawn, and how they got separated. However, he realized that in order to properly resolve "[=LuLo=]," he had to reunite Trawn and Natasha sooner. Thus, the readers learned about the connections much earlier than intended, leaving Paltridge to plan a flashback of her backstory for a later issue.
* ChristmasEpisode: "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&pageType=index&seriesID=11 Inevitable Christmas Adventure]]", which (unlike most of Platypus Comix's "Kristmas Klassics") ties into the series' main continuity; Aerynn reveals NJ's real name (Nate), and some scenes set up a sub-plot regarding the disappearance of Shroomy's boyfriend, Parker.
* CityOfAdventure: Nettropolis.
* CompletelyMissingThePoint: NJ's girlfriend, Beatrice, [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&page=17 accuses him]] of this in "Inevitable Christmas Adventure".
* CoversAlwaysLie: "Formation Team Trawn" has a [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=2&pageType=index&seriesID=11 cover]] with Aerynn exclaiming, "[[TheBigCountry I said I would shoot, but you didn't believe me!]] [[TheRenAndStimpyShow Why didn't you believe me??]]" She doesn't actually shoot anyone in that comic.
* TheDogIsTheMastermind: [[spoiler: Contrary to Trawn's and Lululu's initial assumptions, "the guy who yells a lot" did ''not'' bomb the Nettropollis Mall in "[=LuLo=]". [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=18 His cat did.]]]]
* DumbMuscle: NJ's friend Trevor takes the form of a bull named "Torro" and [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=5&page=7 doesn't appear very bright]].
* DysfunctionJunction
* EmbarrassingFirstName: At the beginning of "Inevitable Christmas Adventure," Aerynn explains to the others that NJ does not want anyone on the Internet to call him "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&page=2 Nate]]", so they should try to forget learning that is his name. [[HypocriticalHumor Later that same page, NJ enters the building, and Aerynn calls him "Nate" in front of everyone else.]]
* EveryoneMeetsEveryone: ''Electric Wonderland'''s [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=1&seriesID=11 pilot]] is currently the only such comic you'll find at the Platypus Comix website.
* EvilIsHammy: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=22 Nina Wing]] in "Friends of Lululu", in order to evoke [[MightyMorphinPowerRangers Rita Repulsa]].
* {{Expy}}: WordOfGod says Natasha Wing joined the comic after Peter Paltridge [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/onlyme/howtofixchuck.html got annoyed]] with ''{{Chuck}}'' introducing a strong Asian female, Anna Wu, then [[DemotedToExtra demoting her to extra]].
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: After Lululu helps Trawn find the bomber of the Nettropolis Mall in "[=LuLo=]," Trawn and the others publish their discoveries and eagerly await the good publicity this will give their newspaper. Television reporters announce the capturing of the suspect, but only refer to Trawn as "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=14 an anonymous informant]]" who helped find him. [[spoiler: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=16 He wasn't the real bomber either.]]]]
-->'''Lululu:''' Go figure, how could a day that starts with a deadly explosion possibly go wrong?
* FieryRedhead: Trawn
-->'''Trawn:''' I've always dreamed of being a reporter, but not the kind the few conglomerate-controlled news outlets are currently looking for today! I want to print what they don't let me! I want to dig into the dirt and expose scandals at the highest levels of power! ''Nettropolis Free Press'' will launch a new era of hard-hitting journalism, unafraid of offending investors and losing advertisers! Within three years every corrupt member of government will fear us! That's basically it. What do you think?
-->'''NJ:''' I'm just...here to find a job. I think you need someone to talk to!
* FiveManBand:
** TheHero: Eileen "Trawn" Peccadillo
** TheLancer: NJ
** TheSmartGuy: Aerynn Arlia
** TheBigGuy: Torro
** TheChick: Shroomy
** [[SixthRanger The Sixth Ranger]]: Lululu Lopez
* FiveTokenBand: The Eco-Teens (Nettropolis' equivalent to [[CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers Planeteers]]) consist of [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=12 American Skeeter, German Gretel,]] [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=13 South African Squami, Korean Ling-Ling, and Hispanic Lululu]] (who left at the end of their first comic). Since Squami only has nine fingers and Lululu has a mermaid tail instead of mobile legs, they serve as [[TwoferTokenMinority Twofer Token Minorities]].
* FollowInMyFootsteps: Natasha subverted this by studying about antivirus protection, then entering the police force instead of her parents' business. However, she also served as [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=37 spokesman]] for the antivirus software.
* GeniusCripple: Lululu can't walk because of her mermaid tail, but she [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=12 knows a lot about bombs]]. She may also qualify as a GeniusDitz.
* HalfwayPlotSwitch: "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=0 Wings]]" seems to do this three times, from Aerynn sensing impending doom, to [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=6 Shroomy]]'s lifelong dream getting shattered, to [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=10 NJ]]'s optimism getting shattered, to [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=15 Natasha]] fulfilling ''her'' lifelong dream (that story takes up more than half of the comic).
* {{Hammerspace}}: Common since Paltridge's interpretation of a Cyberspace community has no physical boundaries:
** The ''Nettropolis Free Press'' domain, which serves as the gang's workplace and also their website, is BiggerOnTheInside. It resembles [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=1&page=13 an old, abandoned building]] on the outside, and [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=1&page=14 a comfortable, spacious loft]] on the inside.
** After Natasha graduated college in "Wings," her parents gave her a BagOfHolding resembling [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=18 a cardboard box]]. She put all her belongings in it when moving out of the dorm, [[AwesomeButImpractical but a truck ran over it]] [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=19 as she exited]].
** Aerynn sneaks Trawn into John Quaff's press conference in "Friends of Lululu" by [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=3 hiding her in her sombrero]].
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=11&page=17 Torro allows the army to take him over NJ or Jodie]]]] in "The Time That People Forgot", and [[spoiler: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=11&page=18 beats]] all the other ''Oregon Trail'' players]] as a result.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: At the end of "Friends of Lululu," the Eco-Teens [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=24 turn against their founder, John Quaff]], after learning about his oil spill.
* HypocriticalHumor: Trawn ends up in a domain containing [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=12&page=13 nothing but amalgamations of pop culture references]] during one part of "Day of the Fools", causing her to complain about Internet comedians who uncleverly acknowledge popular media all the time. Never mind that her own creator made the references she criticized while unknowingly following his script.
* IGotARock: In "The Time That People Forgot", NJ gets assigned [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=11&page=7 a giant rock]] as his report subject, and later has to play [[IncrediblyLamePun Iraq]] in [[AxisPowersHetalia Hetalia]] class.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja: NJ uses the screen name "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=1&page=5 Night Ninja]]," and he has claimed his nickname stands for "[=NinJa=]." [[IronicNickname Ironically]], he hasn't hasn't performed any ninja stunts since the time he [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=1&page=6 saved Shroomy]] from a [[{{Film/Alien}} xenomorph]] in the first issue, [[HighlyVisibleNinja and he frequently goes out in public during the daytime.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Trawn can occasionally seem single-minded and forceful in her movement for her newspaper's success, but she does show sympathy for [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=1&page=17 Aerynn]] (due to her rejections from society) and [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=30 Lululu]] (due to her household's state of poverty).
* KatanasAreJustBetter: NJ and Natasha both sport some, but NJ rarely uses his, and Natasha's doubles as a LaserSword.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Lululu having a mermaid tail came [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=3 out of left field]] to people who read "[=LuLo=]" when it first came out, but people who read her bio (written about a year after her debut) beforehand won't feel too surprised.
* MandatoryLine: Lululu appears on [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=12&page=17 the third-to-last page]] of "Day of the Fools" and asks Trawn what's going on.
** Her appearance on [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=37 the third-to-last page]] of "Wings" might also count.
* MediumAwareness: In "Day of the Fools", Aerynn uses the chant, "Ala-Ka-[[{{Bone}} Jeff Smith]]!" to [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=12&page=1 change the font]] of Platypus Comix's word balloons.

* MisfitMobilizationMoment: One in "Inevitable Christmas Adventure," as NJ, Shroomy, Aerynn, and Beatrice all [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&page=14 head to the Cyber Middle East]] to rescue Trawn, and two in "[=LuLo=]," as the entire ''NFP'' staff rushes to [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=1 investigate the bombing of the mall]] and later [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=12 reports on the discovered suspect]].

* OddShapedPanel: The [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=1&page=11 taxi ride]] that Trawn, NJ, and Shroomy take in the first issue is drawn with tilted panels to simulate the bumpiness felt as the driver struggles to make his steering wheel reappear after a glitch occurs.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/newbiestuff/electricwonderland.html characters page]] includes the real names of Trawn (Eileen), NJ (Nate), and Torro (Trevor), as well as those of five characters who already use their real names in Nettropolis, but lists that Shroomy's real name is unknown.
* OnlySaneMan: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=1&page=18 NJ]], most of the time.
** Aerynn held the SanityBall while NJ was going out with Beatrice.
-->So, [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&page=2 everyone notices]] she looks like a guy, but [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&page=4 no one minds]] he's dating [[RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer a DEER]]?
* PaintingTheFourthWall: After Trawn falls out of a ventilation shaft in "Friends of Lululu," she speaks in [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=14 upside-down word balloons]] as she dangles out from the vent's opening.
* ParachutePetticoat: Shroomy's dress [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=10 acts as one]] after she jumps out of a window in "The Search For Parker," but it collapses after Aerynn grabs her.

* PetTheDog: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=2&page=5 Aerynn assures NJ]] in "Formation Team Trawn" that she'd never kill him or Trawn, since Trawn's the kindest person she met.
-->I'm not exactly bad. [[WhoFramedRogerRabbit I'm just rendered that way.]]
* PunnyName: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=14 Nea Politan]], the DarkMagicalGirl from "The Search For Parker," who's part Caucasian, part African-American, and part Native American.
* PutOnABus: Parker [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&page=1 went absent]] around the time the events of "Inevitable Christmas Adventure" occurred, though Shroomy expected him to return eventually.
** TheBusCameBack: As detailed in "The Search For Parker," Parker [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=21 returned]] to the ''Nettropolis Free Press'' domain after two ComicBookTime months (seven months passed in Real World Time), only to borrow $50 from Shroomy. Aerynn then advised Shroomy to [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=22 dump him]] so she could find a worthier boyfriend.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The staff of the ''Nettropolis Free Press''.
-->'''NJ:''' Now we're gaining a girl with a mushroom on her head? Do you have any hiring standards at ALL?
-->'''Trawn:''' Of course not. I hired ''you'', remember?
* RedOniBlueOni: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=18 Nina Wing and Nathaniel Wing]], respectively.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Shroomy's flashback in "Wings" details her [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=7 forming a life-long dream]] to work at the Imaginarium, only to find it [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=9 closing down]] by the time she becomes old enough to work. WordOfGod says this was inspired by Paltridge forming a childhood dream of writing newspaper comics, only to find newspapers going bankrupt by the time he became old enough to work.
* RuleOfFunny: Personified in Aerynn Arlia, ''Electric Wonderland'''s MagicalGirl character with no apparent limits. Aerynn can literally do anything at any time, as long as it's amusing -- usually with NJ as [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=8 the victim]].
* ShaggyDogStory:
** Aerynn and Shroomy (with NJ unwittingly providing [[GrievousHarmWithABody occasional assistance during fight scenes]]) [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=9 break into a database]] and [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=17 face]] a DarkMagicalGirl during "The Search For Parker," only to come up empty-handed after each place they visit.
** "Day of the Fools" ends with [[spoiler: Trawn losing her RaceAgainstTheClock to warn Aerynn about a scan for hackers and magicians, then learning that [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=12&page=18 those scans never detect Aerynn's powers]]]].
* ShoutOut:
** Trawn's screenname and [[TronLines outfit]] are quite similar to those of the tile character of [[{{TRON}} a certain Disney movie]] set in {{Cyberspace}}.
** "Inevitable Christmas Adventure" [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&page=2 contains]] [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&page=9 numerous]] [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&page=10 references]] to ''RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer''.
** After Shroomy asks Aerynn if hacking into the Nonspecific Supply Co. database in "The Search For Parker" will prove dangerous, she answers, "It'll be [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=4 Dangeresque]]..." Some ''HomestarRunner'' fans overhear and promptly decide to record this Shout-Out at the Homestar Wiki. (The comic soon ''did'' get [[http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/Comics_Sightings#Platypuscomix.net mentioned]] there.)
*** That same comic page also contains a quote from ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff''.
** Trawn [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=14 organizes a celebration]] at "[[MarioIsMissing Weegee]]'s Pizza" after catching the bomber in "[=LuLo=]".
** The guy at the [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=7 "Make a You a Robot" booth]] in Shroomy's flashback in "Wings" looks bears a strong resemblance to [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Classic Robotnik]].
** "The Time That People Forgot" [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=11&page=1 reveals]] that NJ and Torro attended school at [[{{Comicbook/X-Men}} Julian Zavier's School For Ungifted Students]].
** One of NJ's and Torro's classmates in "The Time That People Forgot", [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=11&page=4 Jodie Vasquez]], has the same last name and initials as JhonenVasquez.
* [[SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer Lady Not Appearing In The Tenth Anniversary Ensemble]]: The [[http://torquesmacky.deviantart.com/#/d3a1ku5 drawing]] Paltridge made for Platypus Comix's 10th anniversary includes all of the ''NFP'' founding staff members, except Trawn.
* SlidingScaleOfGenderInequality: It scores 6. Currently among the heroes, women outnumber men 5:2, and men always seem to get the worse character types.
* SpeechbubblesInterruption: At the beginning of "In The Zone," word balloons from a conversation between NJ, Trawn, and Aerynn [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=3&page=1 overlap the boxes]] recapping the comic's Cyberspace setting and main characters. [[YouShouldKnowThisAlready Readers should know these details already.]]
* SpiritualSuccessor: One of the Platypus Comix books, containing stories Paltridge deemed too old and/or subpar to keep on his website, reportedly contains an unreleased Cyberspace-themed comic from the short-lived series ''Cocktails and Dreams''.
* StepfordSmiler: Shroomy fits Type A.
* SuperSenses: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=12&page=3 Aerynn grants Trawn]] the ability to [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=12&page=5 hear the private messages]] people send each other in "Day of the Fools".
* TemptingFate: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=10 NJ's flashback]] in "Wings" begins as he boasts that he earned a Master's Degree and can have any job he wants. Cut to three months later: a down-on-his-luck and desperate NJ applies for a janitorial job in a department store.
** After NJ's boss accuses him of alcoholism and sexism, NJ [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=14 mentally wishes]] he were dead, then [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=33 catches a virus]] one second later, that could very well have killed him (and everyone else in Nettropolis) if not for Natasha and Nathaniel Wing sending a cure.
* ThreeDimensionalEpisode: The covers to every issue are in legitimate 3-D, and work with either red-blue anaglyph glasses or a Nintendo3DS.
* ThrowTheDogABone:
** Shroomy gets one in "Deviantaaargh". After she goes from woefully overlooked on DeviantArt, to receiving two consecutive Daily Deviations, ([[spoiler: both of which came as a result of Aerynn's hacking]]) to [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=5&page=19 falling from a brief and high jump in fame]], Moth-Grrl (one of [=deviantART=]'s most popular artists of the time) still puts Shroomy on her friend list and [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=5&page=23 congratulates her achievement]].
** Trawn arguably got one in "[=LuLo=]". The ''Nettropolis Free Press'' failed to become more famous because of the other reporters referring to her as an "anonymous informant", but she at least reunited with Natasha, and the two of them and Lululu got to [[spoiler: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=18 capture]] [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=19 the real]] [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=20 bomber]] because of Trawn's EurekaMoment]].
* {{Tuckerization}}: WordOfGod says when defining the character of Trawn, Paltridge decided to model her in part after his friend Eileen Cruz, who founded Toon Zone. Cruz and Trawn have the same first name as a result.
** Also, Trawn's last name, Pecadillo, rhymes with Eileen Cruz's maiden name, Delgadillo.
* TwoLinesNoWaiting: "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=4&pageType=index Inevitable Christmas Adventure]]" has two subplots.
* UnfortunateImplications: Ling-Ling [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=13 lampshaded in-universe]] the potential connection between her yellow costume and her race, and also pointed out that Ling-Ling isn't her real name.
* UselessUsefulSpell: Aerynn [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=6 casts one]] as she and Shroomy investigate a database in "The Search For Parker."
--> '''Shroomy:''' Why can't you just make us invisible, create a sound-muting field so no one can hear us, and make us transparent so we could walk through walls?
--> '''Aerynn:''' Yeah! Why don't I?
--> ''(Aerynn casts the requested spell on herself and Shroomy, causing both of them to fall out of the building)''
--> '''Aerynn:''' ...Right. THAT'S why I don't do that...
* WeCouldHaveAvoidedAllThis: After the close call with Nea Politan in "The Search For Parker," Aerynn [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=20 re-reads the post]] that caused them to search in her domain, and realizes the author was actually named, "P'''o'''rker".
* WholeEpisodeFlashback: "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=11&page=0 The Time That People Forgot]]" fashes back to when NJ, Torro, and their classmate Jodie had to survive TheWildWest while playing an immersive version of ''TheOregonTrail''.
** "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&pageType=index Wings]]" consists of four flashbacks, one of which encompasses more than half of the comic.
* WholePlotReference: "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=0 Friends of Lululu]]" serves as a parody of ''CaptainPlanet'' with a dash of ''MightyMorphinPowerRangers''. This was reflected in its working title, "Commander Eco and the Eco-Teens."
* WideEyedIdealist: During Parker's two month absence, Shroomy continued to deny the possibility that Parker didn't love her, even [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=22 after]] he admitted coming back into her life for selfish desires.
* [[spoiler: WillfullyWeak]]: Aerynn admits at [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=12&page=19 the end of "Day of Fools"]] that [[spoiler:she practices a unique brand of magic, and often feels too scared to use its full potential]].
* WitchWithACapitalB: NJ [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=2&page=4 used this insult]] on Aerynn in "Formation Team Trawn".
* WorldOfWoobie: See the YMMV page's entry on TheWoobie for more details. It currently lists sad or slightly sad stories for all but three of the main characters.
* YankTheDogsChain: Lululu receives a wheelchair in "Friends of Lululu," but [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=10&page=9 it gets stolen from her]] as she uses it outside for the first time.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Compare Natasha's appearance at [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=6&page=24 the end of "The Search For Parker']] with the design used from "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=13 LuLo]]" onward.
** The fact the comic changed illustrators during its run raises the possibility that ''[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=1&page=18 everyone]]'' [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=7&page=1 has fallen victim to this]].
* {{Zeerust}}: Sometimes, characters use technology dated by 2000s standards (such as [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=9&page=4 Betamax tapes]]). Paltridge reportedly hopes that this will prevent any references that will date in the future from sticking out.
