Trivia / Least I Could Do

• Contest Winner Cameo: As its Valentine's Day Episodes, there's a contest where the winner gets to go on a date with a character of their choosing (and yes, several of them have gotten busy). Rayne has only gotten two dates in seven years; one was with a gay man, and the other was a near-disaster^note She was German, and the guys tricked him into dressing as a Nazi; only Katie's intervention kept her from walking out; the rest has been a pretty even distribution of cast members (John, Mick, Issa, Eric, Cyndi and Jumpmaster Julie have all been picked once).
• Creator Backlash: More like artist backlash. The comic's first artist, Trevor Adams, reportedly quit because he didn't like the direction the comic was going.
  • But also exists for the comic. Sohmer has taken a ton of flak for turning the comic into his chance to rant about his barely researched opinions, dropping entire subplots, neglecting 90% of the cast in favor of Rayne, and the humor going from crude yet funny to easy and borning
• Executive Meddling: For an Animated Adaptation that was never made, which has become the subject of much contention between Sohmer, DeSouza, and Canadian cable animation network Teletoon. Blind Ferret had been trying to make a cartoon of their comic since 2007, with limited success beyond a set of shorts. When they came to Teletoon in search of production funding, the network demanded a huge number of Cultural Translation changes to make the work more Canadian (such as changing the setting to Toronto, making Issa Inuit, having Mick wear a Toronto Maple Leafs shirt, etc.), convincing Sohmer and co. to leave. Then in 2010, Teletoon debuted The Dating Guy, a series created by Entertainment One and MarbleMedia that Sohmer and DeSouza have openly accused of a hackneyed copyright-friendly ripoff of what would have been the Animated Adaptation (something Teletoon has denied), spurring Blind Ferret Entertainment (along with Randy Milholland) to get a pilot produced with independent funding.
• The Red Stapler: Defied (and more than likely parodied); in the arc where Rayne writes an alternate history novel where he takes over Nazi Germany, one strip shows his new right-hand man wearing a Hawaiian shirt with a Swastika motif. The comic is titled "No, You Can't Have The Shirt" (which, all things considered, is perfectly understandable).
• What Could Have Been: If not for the ridiculous amount of Executive Meddling (see above), an Animated Adaptation would have actually been made.
