* When asked in "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/onlyme/ootwalkthrough.html My Ocarina in Time Walkthrough]]" what the Great Fairies from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' look like, Peter answers, "Like the mother-in-law of your nightmares."

* The "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/kidzone/chucke.html Concept Unification]]" process used to create the animatronic character bands at Creator/ChuckECheese restaurants shortly after they merged with Showtime Pizza. The skins of the old Rock-Afire Explosion characters are removed piece by piece, slowly stripping each of the mechanical skeletons of their personalities, and replaced with completely new, completely different Chuck E. Cheese character skins. Not helped at all by the depressing muzak and [[CreepyMonotone deadpan monotone narrator]], the fact that Chuck E. himself used to be ''two'' characters (Rolfe the ventriloquist wolf and his sentient {{Muppet}} Earl), and the fact that a dog character named Dook is turned into a [[UncannyValley creepy cartoon chef]].

* From the ''Free Spirit'' comic "Junkyard Stories", the [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/freespirit/index.php?issue=10&page=8 ending]] of the story about the bowl.

* Imagine being a comic book character like the ones in "True Believers", living under the beck and call of editors who can change your life to suit their twisted whims, without a care for your personal happiness.

-->If [[Literature/{{Frankenstein}} Dr. Frankenstein]] cut up the three ''Series/FullHouse'' dads and pasted them together into one body, it would look exactly like this actor. It's Creator/BobSaget's face with John Stamos's hair on Dave Coulier's body. And given the time period, I'm sure [[FollowTheLeader this casting was intentional]], but it's nightmare fuel now.
