* FishOutOfTemporalWater: The webcomic's premise. Poppy originated in 1929, only to sleep for 93 years and wake up in 2020. Much of the comic's humor is her adjusting to 21st-century life and culture, and learning what happened in the interim.

* RipVanWinkle: It's in [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the title]] after all. Poppy originally went to sleep in 1929, but somehow slept in for almost 100 years (93 to be more exact), before waking up in 2022.

* HistoryRepeats: Discussed in "Sounds Familiar", Pocky talks to Clarice about UsefulNotes/TheSpanishFlu and what happened during it ("People got sick, had to stay away from each other... and everyone had to wear these gaudy cloth masks!"). Right after Pocky asks Clarice if she can imagine that, Clarice [[DeadpanSnarker remarks that she can hardly picture it]] as [[UsefulNotes/Covid19Pandemic a man walks by wearing a cloth mask.]]

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Poppy, a character from the '20s, is drawn and colored like an old comic strip character from that period, complete with PieEyes and color bleed, making her stick out from the modern citizens.
* PaintingTheMedium: Poppy's speech bubbles are done in the style of comic strips from the early 20th century, reflecting that she's from that time. This also extends to her room and vintage objects from the 1920s.

!!The webcomic provides examples of:
* ArtifactTitle: Downplayed. It's revealed in "Um, Actually" that Poppy slept for 93 years instead of 100 (as she went to sleep in 1929 and woke up in 2022), making the comic's title slightly off. Poppy decides to round it to 100 anyway since she likes it better than 93.
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Since Poppy originated from the less politically correct 1920s, she sometimes says or does things that would be fine in the 1920s, but not in the 2020s due to changing social norms. For example, in "Putting Your Foot In Your Mouth", Poppy remarks to Abby that she's happy the school finally let "her kind" in, which briefly lands her in hot water with both Abby and the Principal due to the racist implications of that statement (though as Poppy makes clear, it [[InnocentlyInsensitive didn't come from a bad place]]).
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: The webcomic's premise. Poppy originated in 1929, only to sleep for 93 years and wake up in 2020. Much of the comic's humor is her adjusting to 21st-century life and culture, and learning what happened in the interim.
