* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: When they heard the news about the escaped panther in Lake Woebegone on the radio, Garfield immediately went to packing up and going home. Jon forced him to stay incorrectly asserting they're miles away from Lake Woebegone (when they ''are'' in it), and even when Garfield was warned by the forest critters that the panther is in the area and he goes to alert Jon once more, Jon just ignores him.

* LostTribe: PlayedForLaughs with the Ding-Dongs. They're an isolated culture--or rather, they ''were'' isolated until they met "the Cruiser," a Creator/JamesDean lookalike, in 1957. The Cruiser introduced them to the American pop culture of that era (beach movies, rock 'n roll, and the like), and the Ding-Dongs never progressed past that point, so they still talk, act, and generally live like it's the 1950s, which humorously isolates them even further.
