* CultureChopSuey: Realizing that Dr Asimov had been using aspects of InTheFutureHumansWillBeOneRace and InventedLinguisticDistinction for most of ''{{Literature/Foundation}}'', this adaptation makes a deliberate effort to combine various modern-day culture traits. Gaal Dornick speaks with an English [[FunetikAksent countryside accent]], wears an Luo Ogut Tigo, has medium-brown skin, and has a bolo on during the courtroom scenes. While riding the spaceship down to Trantor, he's seated nearby a person in Puritan Pilgrim-style clothes. Hari Seldon wears a white cheongsam suit, a white kippah, an american yellow and brown vest, and has white skin and hair. The courtroom they're in is strongly influenced by Chinese design, with the uniforms worn by the committee and the gong instead of an English gavel. The courthouse has Greek columns and designs.

!!''Foundation - The Psychohistorians'' provides examples of:
* AdaptationDeviation: Creator/JonathonDalton changes the year of Seldon's death from 1 F.E. to 3 F.E. in order to resolve the contradiction of Seldon dying the same year that Terminus was colonized and Gaal meeting him two years before his death, but six months before Terminus is colonized.[[note]]A contradiction created by ignoring time spent in travel, something that Dr Asimov tended to do, too.[[/note]] This adaptation also adds {{Funetik Aksent}}s to Gaal Dornick and Lars Avakim, intended to [[CultureChopSuey imply a more diverse culture]].
* AdaptationDistillation: Much of the dialogue is cut from the [[Literature/ThePsychohistorians original story]], to better fit the space constraints of the 2x2 comic panels that Creator/JonathonDalton preferred at the time.
* TheBackwardsR: The title page displays ''FOUNDATION'' as ''FOVNDATION'', replacing the '''u''' with a '''v''' to look more Greek. The "u"s of the University and Supreme Court are similarly replaced.
* ComicBookAdaptation: This work is a [[FanWorks fan-made]] adaptation of Creator/IsaacAsimov's "Literature/ThePsychohistroians", using 2x2 panels for the layout.
* CultureChopSuey: Realizing that Dr Asimov had been using aspects of InTheFutureHumansWillBeOneRace and InventedLinguisticDistinction for most of ''{{Literature/Foundation}}'', this adaptation makes a deliberate effort to combine various modern-day culture traits.

The courtroom they're in is strongly influenced by Chinese design, with the uniforms worn by the committee and the gong instead of an English gavel. The courthouse has Greek columns and designs.
* DutchAngle: As Hari Seldon shows Gaal Dornick how the various probabilities of assassination, revolt, economic depression, declining exploration affect the [[GalacticSuperpower Galactic Empire]], the camera view is tilted back and slightly to the side, to show how the thought of Trantor's destruction is a frightening certainty.
* EncyclopediaExposita: This adaptation expands the details given by some of the ''Encyclopedia Galactica'' entries, since they're displayed as [[TheWikiRule a computer window]] with [[OurGraphicsWillSuckInTheFuture extremely plain graphics, like what you might find in the 1980s]] instead of paragraphs that can start/end with ellipsis.
* EstablishingShot: Gaal Dornick's arrival to important locations is prefaced with wide-angle shots of the location. His ship's approach to Trantor (he tries to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] the establishing shot, but all windows are closed), his taxi arriving at the Luxor Hotel, his carriage arriving at the University of Trantor, and [[spoiler:his ship's arrival on Terminus]].
* FunetikAksent: Two accents are [[InventedLinguisticDistinction added]] to this adaptation:
** In this adaptation, Gaal Dornick has an English countryside drawl written into his speech bubbles that reflects the fact that he comes from a backwater planet.
-->''"Ah was hoping t' catch a glimpse o' Trantor. 'Tis muh first trip t' the capitol planet."'' --'''Gaal Dornick''''s first lines.
** In this adaptation, Lors Avakim and Linge Chen drop certain "oh" sounds, saying "cent'ry",
"emp'ror", and "psychohist'ry".
* InCaseYouForgotWhoWroteIt: The cover page prefaces the title with Creator/IsaacAsimov's name, explicitly crediting the original author before the adaptation author/artist.
* InventedLinguisticDistinction: When Dr Asimov wrote "Literature/ThePsychohistorians", the only character in ''Literature/Foundation1951'' with a FunetikAksent had been faking it. In the following decades, Dr Asimov would add several characters with genuine accents, so Creator/JonathonDalton took that idea and incorporated accents into the lawyers and Gaal Dornick.
* OurGraphicsWillSuckInTheFuture: The 21st century artist [[InvokedTrope invokes]] the idea of early 1980s style computer graphics when representing the ''[[EncyclopediaExposita Encyclopedia Galactica]]'' entries, using pixelated green text and borders.
* RetroRocket: The spaceships used by the galactic citizens are [[StandardHumanSpaceship grey and blocky]], but when it comes to insignia signifying spaceships, the sleek rocketship is a favourite. The [[GalacticSuperpower Galactic Empire]] uses one such rocketship flying across a stylized sun as their emblem.
* RoomFullOfCrazy: The cover page for the story gives the impression of a jumbled mess stemming from the mind of Hari Seldon due to the red mathematical and Chinese symbols filling the sky behind him.
* ShoutOut: During his courtroom trial, Seldon literally [[SuddenlyShouting shouts]] the words, "decline and fall of the Galactic Empire", which is only one word off from the [[InspirationForTheWork inspiration for the (original) work]], ''Literature/TheDeclineAndFallOfTheRomanEmpire'', by Creator/EdwardGibbon.
* SuddenlyShouting: When Hari Seldon is calmly talking about the purpose of a hundred thousand people connected to his project, he exclaims about the "decline and fall of the galactic empire!", causing the crowd present for the trial to roar out cries of traitor! (Doubling as a literal ShoutOut to the [[InspirationForTheWork inspiration for the (original) work]], ''Literature/TheDeclineAndFallOfTheRomanEmpire'', by Creator/EdwardGibbon.)
-->''"I refer, my lord, to the developing DECLINE AND FALL OF THE GALACTIC EMPIRE!"''
* TitleIn: Gaal Dornick's arrival at the Luxor Hotel is shown by an EstablishingShot and the name clearly stated in a box at the upper left of the frame. The hotel's sign (Luxor Hotel) is somewhat visible in the lower-right corner, behind a taxi.
