* HarsherInHindsight: In "[[http://platypuscomix.com/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=14&pageType=index&seriesID=11 Shrooming with Shroomy]]," Nina Wing deems all of her [=StreamVue=] streaming service's pre-2050 content a waste of space, then deletes it from the servers, requiring consumers to watch it through less convenient or legal means. Ten years later, Creator/WarnerBrosDiscovery would begin removing vintage and original programming from their own streaming service, [[Creator/{{Max}} HBO Max]], for the sake of tax write-downs. The owners of Creator/ParamountPlus and Creator/DisneyPlus later did the same.

* HilariousInHindsight: "Into Thin Aerynn" has Aerynn become obsessed with ''Series/FreeSpirit'', then lament that she could only find [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=17&page=3 13 episodes]]. At the time Peter wrote this story, he had yet to confirm the existence of the MissingEpisode "Love and Death". After a recording of an Australian broadcast appeared online, a reader might wonder if Aerynn ever managed to conjure that up -- or the early pilot with a slightly different cast -- once she finished those 13 stories.

%%* SeasonalRot: Among all the years in which Peter actually posted new ''Electric Wonderland'' comics, 2017 might become the least productive, judging by how long "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=20&pageType=index&seriesID=11 The Influencer]]" (part 1 published in January) has remained unfinished. Unlike when Peter left the ''Webcomic/FreeSpirit2014'' comics "Junkyard Stories" and "Robb's Not Dead" hanging, he didn't even share any unrelated ''EW'' stories to tide readers over.
