| 1 | * DevelopmentHell: "Princess Pi vs. Dr. 8" entered this. The list of ''Princess Pi'' villains released back in 2011 showed a drawing of Dr. 8, and described his gimmick as using mathematical calculations to determine the most effective evil schemes. Additionally, a post Peter made on the Toon Zone forum compared his personality to that of Creator/CharlieSheen. Despite all these details, Peter never gave a release date for the story.[[note]]He didn't even officially confirm the title, "Princess Pi vs. Dr. 8", but the fact that it fits the IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming makes it a likely guess.[[/note]] At this rate, he might ''never'' produce it. |
| 2 | * HypotheticalCasting: Sometimes Peter draws text boxes next to characters, saying who he imagines him or her to sound like (eg, Opposite Guy has the "Voice of Creator/TommyWiseau"). |
| 3 | * MeaningfulReleaseDate: "Princess Pi vs. Everything" kicked off the comic on New Year's Day 2011, or 01.01.11. |
| 4 | * ScheduleSlip: Peter pushed back the second part of "Sam Adams vs. True Love" by about eight months. Unlike most instances of Platypus Comix readers waiting longer than expected for a story's conclusion, this delay had comics from other series (such as the Variety Section and ''Webcomic/FreeSpirit2014'') and two issues of ''BANG! Magazine'' released in the meanwhile. |
| 5 | * ViralMarketing: In the months building up to the series premiere, "π" appeared at various places on the Website/PlatypusComix main page (such as [[http://platypuscomix.net/top162.jpg a jack-o-lantern]] in the banner and Tuan Nuaghen's eyes in the link to the ''Webcomic/ScrambledEggs'' archive). Even earlier than that, after Peter Paltridge wrote some bios for ''Webcomic/ElectricWonderland'' characters, and updated the ones for ''Webcomic/{{Mulberry}}'' and ''Webcomic/{{Keiki}}'', he placed the symbol next to redrawn links to all the series' character bios. This provided the first hint that a new Platypus Comix series was in store. |
| 6 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 7 | ** Peter originally designed Princess Pi as [[https://animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/princess-pi-vs-everything-talkback.5066901/post-78471691 a little girl]], but then he considered the possibility that more people would want to read about a hot, older princess. |
| 8 | ** The original list of ''Princess Pi'' villains portrayed the Totally Nazis as fascist versions of the ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' leads. |
| 9 | ** If the AlphaBitch trope still had its original title, "The [[Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch Libby]]," then "Princess Pi vs. The Alpha Bitch" would have a correspondingly different title, and Pi's first appearance in that story would have gone like [[https://animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/princess-pi-vs-the-alpha-talkback.5175251/post-80048251 this]]. |
