History Webcomic / Mulberry

** [[{{Spider-Man}} Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson]], as portrayed in Paltridge's "True Believers," [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=17&page=9&seriesID=4 form part of a crowd scene]] in "If Ya Don't Eat Your Mulberry, Ya Can't Have Any Pudding! How Can Ya Have Any Pudding If Ya Don't Eat Your Mulberry??"

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: In "Artifacting," JohnKricfalusi [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=15&page=19 makes prisoners endure lectures]] about [[SmallNameBigEgo why all animation sucks compared to his]] and disagrees with '''[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=15&page=20&seriesID=4 anything]]''' they say. [[spoiler: Eventually, Mulberry [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=15&page=23&seriesID=4 forces]] him to wear the [[RenAndStimpy Happy Hat]] and broaden his appreciations.]]

* IntoxicationEnsues: The contents of PaulaAbdul's [[AmericanIdol Coke glass]] [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=11&page=6&seriesID=4 have this affect on Mulberry]] in "Scary Berry."

* IAmNotSpock: In-universe, NiceCharacterMeanActor HaydenPanettiere doesn't react [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=13&page=11&seriesID=4 kindly]] to Jack calling her, "[[Series/{{Heroes}} Claire]]" in "The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mulberry".

''Mulberry'' made a leap to the printed page in 2012, when Peter Paltridge decided to include new comics of hers in his periodical, ''BANG! The Entertainment Paper''.

-->'''Mulberry:''' [[BigNo NOOO-HO-HOOO!]] [[{{Futurama}} Every time I said, "Kill all celebrities," I would always whisper, "except one." Brittany Murphy was that one!]]

-->'''Mulberry:''' This isn't like MichaelJackson or Patrick Swayze...I actually mean it this time!

* ShoutOut: Some scenes in "Murphy's Lawn" parallel "Wings of the Dope" (which Paltridge has listed as one of his favorite ''KingOfTheHill'' episodes), such as Murphy showing Mulberry her new name tag ([[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=20&page=8 "Brittany Murphy's Angel"]]) and Mulberry and Murphy [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=20&page=20 bouncing on a mattress as "Life in a Northern Town" plays]].

* WeCouldHaveAvoidedAllThis: Eventually during "Jack the Ripper," [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=8&page=13 Mulberry informs Jack]] that he could have avoided getting pursued by the government if instead of downloading an illegal patch for ''Planet of Warcraft'', he just asked her for $64.95 to buy an upgraded version.

* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Fed up with all the ProductPlacement she must endure while watching Macy's UsefulNotes/ThanksgivingDay Parade in "If Ya Don't Eat Your Mulberry, Ya Can't Have Any Pudding! How Can Ya Have Any Pudding If Ya Don't Eat Your Mulberry??", Mulberry [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=17&page=7&seriesID=4 decides to unleash balloons of popular, completely random characters.]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome The characters end up having an epic battle, until]] SantaClaus [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome blows them up and makes candy rain down.]]

Peter Paltridge, the host of PlatypusComix, created ''[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?seriesID=4 Mulberry]]'' in 2004. The title character, who has also become Platypus Comix's mascot, had previously [[PoorlyDisguisedPilot appeared in the final strips of another comic]], ''Marin Meadow''. ''Mulberry'' features Mulberry Sharona, a 16-year old heiress from Seven Springs, California, who has managed to avoid becoming an UpperClassTwit thanks to ParentalAbandonment. Accompanied by [[ThreeAmigos her friends]] Jack, TheOneGuy, and Taffeta "Taffy" Sparks, the DumbBlonde housekeeper, this NonIdleRich girl makes adventures out of any scheme she comes up with.

** "Mulberry's Epic Yarn" turns DeliberatelyMonochrome as Mulberry and Tiff decide to have some "[=PB&J=]" by [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=21&page=6 singing the Peter, Bjorn, and John song "Young Folks."]]

* BizarroEpisode: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=21&pageType=index&seriesID=4 "Mulberry's Epic Yarn"]] starts out as a parody of ''{{Kirby}}'s Epic Yarn'', then becomes progressively stranger, until they reveal that [[spoiler: Mulberry wrote the issue herself, apparently warping hers and Tiff's reality]].

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: [[spoiler:[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=14&page=13&seriesID=4 Tiff defeats a zombie Orville Redenbacher]]]] in "Franken-berry".

* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: At the end of [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/newbiestuff/mulberryintro.html the page]] where Mulberry introduces herself, Jack, and Tiff to new readers, she claims the site has infected one of the reader's folders, and opening that folder would render the computer incapable of visiting any website other than the one for ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer''.

* EasyAmnesia: [[spoiler: Barbara Pierce Bush]] loses her memory in "Year Six" during a terrorist attack, and regains it after [[spoiler: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=6&page=53&seriesID=4 Tiff pushes her out of Mulberry's helicopter right before she can stab them]]]].

* AFriendInNeed: Mulberry often acknowledges the importance of her friendships with Jack and Tiff, whether she or one of them is the one in need.

** "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=3&pageType=index&seriesID=4 Mulberry vs. Wal-Mart]]" begins as Mulberry learns her companies are losing money to Wal-Mart. In response, she, Jack, and Tiff, then spend a few hours in one of their stores. At the end of the comic, Mulberry [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=3&page=13&seriesID=4 applies what she learned from the trip into opening her own store.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: "Franken-Berry" contains a scene [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=14&page=9&seriesID=4 Mulberry asks Tiff if she remembers the time they searched]] for the [[RenAndStimpy History Eraser Button]], but after Jack says he doesn't, Mulberry remembers that comic won't appear at Platypus Comix for another seven months.

** At one point in "Mulberry's Epic Yarn," Mulberry and Tiff [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=21&page=15&seriesID=4 find a room full of View-Masters]] that allow users to see from the perspective of a celebrity, and also control what that person says and does. Incidentally, Mulberry briefly uses one to finally [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=21&page=16 control Sarah Palin]].

* InsistentTerminology: Mulberry, Tiff, and Jezebel [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=23&page=3 insist]] in "Jeboozled" that men always refer to females as "women" instead of, "girls", although women can call each other girls.

* InvisibleParents: Apparently, Mulberry's parents have spent so little time with her, she has forgotten what they look like. (Once, [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=2&page=10&seriesID=4 she nearly fell for]] GeorgeWBush's attempt to pull a LukeIAmYourFather on her) Jack and Tiff have admitted to having parents, but they do not live on the Sharona estate.

* LonelyRichKid: Mulberry realizes she's one in "Mulberry's Surrogate Family," as Jack and Tiff prepare to visit their families for Christmas, and [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/kristmas/index.php?issue=7&page=2&seriesID=8 she confesses to them that her parents are never around.]]

* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Tiff has rarely done any housecleaning onscreen. Possibly justified if Mulberry's adventures leave her with not enough time to do her work.
* PunnyName: In "Mul/Kerry/Bush," Tiff remarks that if Mulberry were George W. Bush's daughter, [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=2&page=11&seriesID=4 her name would be "Mulberry Bush."]] After combining Bush with John Kerry,[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=2&page=12&seriesID=4 Mulberry decides to name her creation "Mulkerrybush"]] as a variation on the name.

* CutAndPasteTranslation: Mulberry presents one of ''{{Naruto}}'' in [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=1&page=4&seriesID=4 "Mulberry's 2004 Fall TV Preview"]].
-->'''Mulberry:''' Through the magic of editing, [[FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids Productions]] has turned a ninja cartoon into a depiction of daily American school life! ''Naruto'' is now known here as ''Larry and His Socially Conscious Adventures'', and it's being hailed by critics as "''{{Doug}}'' for the 21st Century! Here's a peek!"

* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: At the end of [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/newbiestuff/mulberryintro.html the page]] where Mulberry introduces herself, Jack, and Tiff to new readers, she claims the site has infected one of the reader's folders, and opening that folder would render the computer incapable of visiting any website other than the one for ''DoraTheExplorer''.
* DarkerAndEdgier: One of Pitt's and Jolie's children [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=22&page=11&seriesID=4 becomes corrupted]] in "Heiress A Parent" after [[spoiler: playing an M-rated version of ''CookingMama'']].

* [[spoiler: VillainyFreeVillain]]: Mulberry learns that Mary's kidnappers in "Prison Broke" only [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=12&page=17&seriesID=4 want]] [[spoiler: better treatment while they work at the Roach Hotel. She decides to [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=12&page=18&seriesID=4 help them]] fulfill this desire.]]

* ItsBeenDone: Mulberry tries to find legendary objects in "Artifacting," released the same month as ''IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull'', but [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=15&page=3&seriesID=4 explorers from all areas of fiction]] beat her to each object she tries to find during the first nine pages.

* ScheduleSlip: Most noticeably, [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=12&page=11 half of "Prison Broke"]] and all of "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=16&page=1 Obamadramarama]]" still haven't been colored in.

* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Fed up with all the ProductPlacement she must endure while watching Macy's ThanksgivingDay Parade in "If Ya Don't Eat Your Mulberry, Ya Can't Have Any Pudding! How Can Ya Have Any Pudding If Ya Don't Eat Your Mulberry??", Mulberry [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=17&page=7&seriesID=4 decides to unleash balloons of popular, completely random characters.]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome The characters end up having an epic battle, until]] SantaClaus [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome blows them up and makes candy rain down.]]

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: NonIdleRich girl Mulberry manages to pull off such schemes as messing with Presidential elections and staging a fight between Macy's ThanksgivingDay Parade balloons.

* {{Crossover}}: "Artifacting" has Mulberry race [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=15&page=13&seriesID=4 against]] IndianaJones and [[Series/TombRaider Lara Croft]] in a quest for [[TheRenAndStimpyShow Ren and Stimpy]]'s History Eraser Button.

* ShockingSwerve: Mulberry has to come up with [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=20&page=18 one]] in-universe during "Murphy's Lawn," since Brittany Murphy's final movie originally had NoEnding. When the movie actually comes out, all the viewers seem [[spoiler: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=20&page=19&seriesID=4 amazed and satisfied]]]] with the ending.

** By the end of "Artifacting," [[spoiler: Mulberry has obtained the History Eraser Button from ''RenAndStimpy'' before IndianaJones and [[TombRaider Laura Croft]] and even turned John Kricfalusi into less of an egomaniac. [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=15&page=24&seriesID=4 Unfortunately, she accidentally sits on the History Eraser Button]], seemingly [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin erasing history]] in the process.]]

* MissingEpisode: Several, but the absence of "Suddenly Mulberry" sticks out the most. After its removal, "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=1&pageType=index&seriesID=4 Mulberry's 2004 Fall TV Preview]]" became the oldest comic in the ''Mulberry'' archive. A few obvious signs exist that something came before it: the cover reading, "the second one", and Mulberry acknowledging the comic's interrupting her ''actual'' first arc.

** [=TeBOING!ss=], the Music/{{Kesha}} caricature from the ''ScrambledEggs'' comic "It's Square to Be Hip," [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=21&page=12 smokes a bubble hookah]] in "Mulberry's Epic Yarn."

''[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?seriesID=4 Mulberry]]'' joined Peter Paltridge's PlatypusComix in 2004. The title character, who has also become Platypus Comix's mascot, had previously [[PoorlyDisguisedPilot appeared in the final strips of another comic]], ''Marin Meadow''. ''Mulberry'' features Mulberry Sharona, a 16-year old heiress from Seven Springs, California, who has managed to avoid becoming an UpperClassTwit thanks to ParentalAbandonment. Accompanied by [[ThreeAmigos her friends]] Jack TheOneGuy and Tiff the DumbBlonde housekeeper, this NonIdleRich girl makes adventures out of any scheme she comes up with.

* FillerStrip: [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=20&pageType=index&seriesID=4 "Murphy's Lawn"]] was written to tide Platypus Comix readers over as Paltridge spent extra time completing a four-part ''ElectricWonderland'' comic.
