The title character, who has also become Platypus Comix's mascot, had previously [[EarlyBirdCameo appeared in the final strips of another comic]], ''Marin Meadow''. ''Mulberry'' features Mulberry Sharona, a 16-year old heiress from Seven Springs, California, who has managed to avoid becoming an UpperClassTwit thanks to ParentalAbandonment. Accompanied by [[TwoGirlsAndAGuy her friends]] Jack, TheOneGuy, and Taffeta "Taffy" Sparks, the DumbBlonde housekeeper, this NonIdleRich girl makes adventures out of any scheme she comes up with. |

Isn't it pretty?" Thirteen pages later, a terrorist expresses disgust at America's "uncovered women," prompting a scene of [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=10&page=15&seriesID=4 Britney mooning paparazzi]] and repeating the question she asked Mulberry twice. |
| 41 | *** Mulberry meets Britney again in the next issue, "Scary Berry." Britney [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=11&page=19&seriesID=4 shows off her shaved head]] and [[RuleOfThree asks once again]], "Look! Isn't it pretty?" |

| 55 | * CouchGag: Ever since 2005, issues have used old, unusual-looking comic book covers instead of covers that bear direct relevance to the story. Some of them have Mulberry photoshopped into the scenes, but issues from October 2008 onward depict the covers unaltered. |

| 224 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: Jack has no role in "Game of Homes," so when he pops up in one of the other ''BANG!'' columns, he asks, "Why is this my only appearance this issue?" |
| 225 | * TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: In "Outatime", [[spoiler:Marty and Doc must stop Donald Trump (actually Biff in disguise) from becoming president, to avoid Trump//Biff from declaring nuclear war on England.]] |
| 226 | * EvilDuo: "Miraculous Adventures of Ledyba And Meowth Noir" features a real Team Rocket, consisting of a skinny man named Murray, and a fat man named Herbie. Their leader? [[spoiler:Mark Zuckerberg.]] |
| 227 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: "Game of Homes" begins with Mulberry and Taffy eating at a café with a sign reading, "Best Burgers Ever". Taffy comments that the burgers live up to that claim. |
| 228 | * GenderFlip: "My Fat Lady" begins with Mulberry expressing disgust with a ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' movie starring Creator/ShiaLaBeouf as "Beouffy". |
| 229 | * GetBackToTheFuture: In an inversion, "Outatime" sees Mulberry helping Jennifer return to 1985, after Marty and Doc leave her behind in 2015. |
| 230 | * GlobalIgnorance: When Mulberry and her friends visit Portland, Oregon in "Mulberry Killed the Brenda Starr": |
| 231 | -->'''Taffy:''' HEY! Isn't this place near [[Series/OnceUponATime that city where fairy tale characters come to life and befriend you]]? There was something on Creator/{{ABC}} about that!\ |
| 232 | '''Mulberry:''' You're thinking of Portland, MAINE. Portland, OREGON is where [[Series/{{Grimm}} fairy tale characters try to kill you!]] |
| 233 | * HairTriggerTemper: "Mulberry's Wraparounds" portrays the title character of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' as constantly upset at anyone and anything that seems to try to boss her around. In the same comic, Mulberry eventually gets so fed up of the stupid commercial breaks, [[spoiler:she smashes the TV with a baseball bat.]] |
| 234 | * HilaritySues: Happens to Mulberry in "Bunheads". [[spoiler:After she helps a girl named Lexus get vaccinated, Lexus' hipster parents sue Mulberry over the possibility that the vaccines gave her autism.]] |
| 235 | * HumansAreBastards: |
| 236 | ** By attending Vess [=MacMeal=]'s Friendship Academy in "Friendship is Voodoo", Mulberry learns that friends tend to unexpectedly separate, mooch off of each other, and refuse to listen to each other's emotional problems. |
| 237 | ** "Miraculous Adventures of Ledyba And Meowth Noir" also has this as a theme. [[spoiler:Missingno reveals itself as the true creator of ''Pokémon Go'', and that it meant the app to help determine whether or not Pokémon could live on Earth. Unfortunately, Missingno decides that since the app has motivated players to perform crimes and distract themselves from important tasks, that humanity can't live peacefully with Pokémon. It proceeds to permanently shut down the ''Pokémon Go'' servers, and return to the world of ''Pokémon''.]] |
| 238 | * HypocriticalHumor: At the end of "Mulberry's Wraparounds", Taffy asks how they can avoid obnoxious commercials if they turn up everywhere. Jack answers, "[[ProductPlacement Let's use our]] [[Platform/MicrosoftWindows WINDOWS PRODUCTS]] to find the answer!" |
| 239 | * {{Irony}}: In "First World Problems", Mulberry wins $10,000 in a ''Series/NameThatTune''-esque RadioContest, which she entered only because she became fed up with having to listen to people incorrectly name the song.[[note]]"Clocks" by Music/{{Coldplay}}[[/note]] Since she already has plenty of cash to spare, she decides to give the money to someone who desperately needs more. [[spoiler:It ends up going back to one of the radio station's [=DJs=], who also gave Mulberry false reasons (partially ripped off of "The Christmas Shoes") for needing it.]] |
| 240 | * ItMakesSenseInContext: The fifth page of "Game of Homes", located on page 11 of its ''BANG!'' issue, begins with a text box reading this: |
| 241 | -->For those of you who opened this paper to the middle portion and are now wondering why [[Series/GameOfThrones Tyrion Lannister]] is living in a dinky apartment next to a group of rowdy fratboys, that's what you get for skipping ahead. Nothing but confusion!\ |
| 242 | Go back and read this issue properly, from page one, like we suggested in the first place. Go on! |
| 243 | * KillingYourAlternateSelf: In "Outatime", [[spoiler:Jennifer meets a Jennifer from another timeline upon returning to 1985. She declares that only one Jennifer Parker can exist, and chops up the other one with an axe.]] |
| 244 | * LampshadedTheObscureReference: "Disney Adventures" has Mulberry and her friends find [[WesternAnimation/{{Dinosaur}} Aladar]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheGoodDinosaur Arlo]] guarding the Vault, neither of whom the gang can remember, much to the dinosaurs' frustration. |
| 245 | * LonelyRichKid: "Friendship is Voodoo" explores Mulberry's struggles in trying to make more friends. |
| 246 | * MacGuffin: Mulberry decides to explore the Disney Vault in "Disney Adventures" after Jack suggests that they could find a more {{Gorn}}-ridden cut of ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron''. [[spoiler:Due to some misdirection from Little Hiawatha, whom Mulberry asks, "...do you know where they put Disney's deepest, darkest secret movie?", Taffy accidentally instead grabs an un-edited copy of Mickey Mouse's ''The Shindig'', complete with Mickey pulling Minnie's panties.]] |
| 247 | * MegaCorp: "Coporatocracy" portrays a scenario in which Comcast owns America. |
| 248 | * MirrorMatch: Mulberry witnesses one in "My Fat Lady", when she watches the movie ''ComicBook/{{Batman}} vs. [[SendInTheClones Batman]]''. [[spoiler:To her disappointment, the Batmen spend their confrontation boasting how Crazy Prepared they are to face each other, and a "To Be Spread Out Over Six Movies" card appears before they actually start fighting.]] |
| 249 | * MoodWhiplash: "The Holiday Issue" begins with Jack promising the readers a heartwarming holiday story, only to get interrupted with news that New York must become vacated in preparation for a hurricane. |
| 250 | * MrExposition: "Disney Adventures" has [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Alpha-5]] inform Mulberry of various characters in the Disney Vault wanting to escape, as the Franchise/PowerRangers did, and give her and her friends a map of the Vault. |
| 251 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: "Mulberrican Idol" provides Ryan Ryan as a pastiche of Jake Paul. |
| 252 | * NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: "First World Problems" has one regarding news of Music/KatyPerry endorsing a line of fake eyelashes. |
| 253 | * OlderIsBetter: "Mulberry Killed the Brenda Starr" has some waxing for the glory days of printed newspapers, as well as a brief piece of praise for independent video stores. |
| 254 | * OurSloganIsTerrible: A Taco Bell commercial in "Mulberry's Wraparounds" bears the slogan, "Our ads are stupid! [[ThisLoserIsYou Just like you!]]" |
| 255 | * {{Parody Commercial}}s: "Mulberry's Wraparounds" includes several. |
| 256 | * PopCulturePunEpisodeTitle: Too many examples to list here. |
| 257 | * PrisonRiot: "Disney Adventures" unleashes one inside the Disney Vault after [[spoiler:''24'''s Chloe shuts off the security system, as part of Jack Bauer's plan to free everyone caged inside the Vault.]] |
| 258 | -->'''Jack:''' It's like the [[Webcomic/PocketPrincesses Amy Mebberson cartoon]] from Hell! |
| 259 | * ProductPlacement: Spoofed in "Miraculous Adventures of Ledyba And Meowth Noir", when the creators of ''Pokémon Go'' allow such corporations as UsefulNotes/McDonalds and Comcast to add their spokespeople as new Pokémon. |
| 260 | * RecursiveCanon: "Outatime" presents a roundabout example. When Marty visits the Cafe '80s, the Cafe has a poster for ''Series/FreeSpirit1989'', featuring Corinne Bohrer and Edan Gross as Winnie Goodwin and Gene Harper. The incarnations of Winnie and Gene from Peter's ''Webcomic/FreeSpirit2014'' FanWebcomics series previously appeared in the ''Webcomic/{{Keiki}}''[=/=]''Mulberry'' crossover "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/keiki/index.php?issue=19&pageType=index&seriesID=5 Haole Berry]]", implying that all three of those comics share a universe. Overthink these scenes, and it appears that Mulberry's universe has Winnie Goodwin and the Harper clan as both characters in an '80s sitcom, and an actual CuteWitch and mortal family living together. |
| 261 | * RepurposedPopSong: One part of "Mulberry's Wraparounds" has Mulberry lament (by quoting Website/ThisVeryWiki) that Music/{{Blondie|Band}}'s "One Way or Another" gets used in advertising so often, she can't hear it without thinking of one of the many moronic commercials that played it. This segues into a collection of other examples of {{Repurposed Pop Song}}s, at least some of which actually happened.[[note]]A 1977 Halls commercial with Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}}' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", a 1986 laxative commercial with Music/TheBeatles' "Revolution", a 1996 Mountain Dew commercial with Music/{{Queen}}'s "Bohemian Rhapsody", a 2006 Circuit City commercial with Music/TheCars' "Just What I Needed", and a 2013 {{Ridiculously Loud| Commercial}} Chevy commercial with Music/{{Nirvana}}'s "Smells Like Teen Spirit".[[/note]] |
| 262 | * RuleOfFunny: Regarding "Outatime", the only obvious reason the Cafe '80s would sell Pepsi with artificial sweeteners (which the cashier refers to, "Pepsi Worse-Than-Before") instead of Pepsi Throwback and/or Pepsi Made With Real Sugar involves showing Marty's disgusted reaction to drinking the reformulated soda. |
| 263 | * ShaggyDogStory: During the last page of "Things I Actually Saw at Rose City Comic-Con", Mulberry notices her phone missing. She proceeds to borrow someone else's phone to call a ride home, then tell a policeman who she suspects of stealing hers. [[spoiler:When Taffy comes to pick Mulberry up, she notices her phone in the back seat of the car, and realizes it must have fallen out of her pocket before the convention.]] |
| 264 | * SimilarlyNamedWorks: [[invoked]] When Taffy hears about ''Film/Ghostbusters2016'' in "My Fat Lady", she asks who'll play Ansa-Bone and the gorilla, two characters from ''WesternAnimation/FilmationsGhostbusters''. |
| 265 | * SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: |
| 266 | ** In "Outatime", [[spoiler:Doc proves to Marty that Donald Trump is actually Biff Tannen when he shows him a newspaper with the headline, "Trump Says Mexico 'Full of Buttheads'".]] |
| 267 | ** In "Disney Adventures", Alpha-5 meets Mulberry and her friends while wearing a BrownBagMask, but she recognizes him after he panics, "[[CatchPhrase Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi!]]" |
| 268 | * SpiritAdvisor: "Planet of the Jerks" has Mulberry receive advice from Creator/CarrieFisher on how to survive a bigoted society. Unlike most spirit advisors, Carrie does make herself visible to more people than just Mulberry, at least when necessary. |
| 269 | * StepfordSmiler: Among other pieces of discouraging advice Mulberry receives from attending Vess [=MacMeal=]'s Friendship Academy in "Friendship is Voodoo", Vess encourages students to suppress negative emotions, instead of ask friends for comfort. |
| 270 | * SuddenlySpeaking: In "Miraculous Adventures of Ledyba And Meowth Noir", [[spoiler:Missingno]] doesn't start talking until the second-to-last page. |
| 271 | * TakeThat: "First World Problems" has Music/JustinBieber get denied an invitation to Mulberry's Greatest Person Alive Award Show. |
| 272 | * TakeThatAudience: In "Planet of the Jerks", as Mulberry and Carrie Fisher people-watch, Carrie points out the people's afflictions. At one point, she appears to point at the reader, and exclaims, "And that man over there? He's just dumb!" |
| 273 | * ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: "Game of Homes" has Mulberry challenge the propietor of a cheap residential complex to live among the tenants for a week. |
| 274 | * TemptingFate: |
| 275 | ** While [[spoiler:getting pursued by a {{Sinister Silhouette|s}}]] in "The Holiday Issue", Mulberry comments, "I don't see how this day could get any-", shutting herself up before she can say the word, "worse." [[spoiler:She then nearly gets engulfed in a hurricane.]] |
| 276 | ** Mulberry declares in "My Fat Lady" that she won't watch any more brand-driven movies, not even a new ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}''. Cue a news report announcing a new, all-female team of Ghostbusters. |
| 277 | * TradeSnark: When Taffy mentions Bing in "Mulberry's Wraparounds", a trademark symbol appears next to the name. |
| 278 | * UnclePennybags: "First World Problems" has Jack and Taffy use Creator/JuliaLouisDreyfus as a female example. |
| 279 | -->'''Jack:''' She must do something with that ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' syndication money, right? She doesn't even need it!\ |
| 280 | '''Taffy:''' Yeah! She must have funded like, forty hospitals by now!\ |
| 281 | '''Jack:''' Yeah...\ |
| 282 | '''Taffy:''' Presumably...\ |
| 283 | '''Mulberry:''' She's NOT reading this, knock it off! |
| 284 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: "Disney Adventures" begins with some boys asking Mulberry to grab their baseball, which they accidentally threw over a fence, into the Disney Vault. Once she gets into the Vault, she never seems to bother looking for the ball. |
| 285 | * WhatIf: "Outatime" relies heavily on the thought of the events of ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartII'' landing Marty, Doc, and Jennifer in a 2015 shaped by the actions of the obscenely wealthy and powerful Biff seen in the "1985A" sequence of the movie. (''BTTF II'' had them leave 2015 right before the DelayedRippleEffect of Biff's changes to the past kicked in, and also included a moment in which Doc gunned down Marty's idea to go back to 2015 and stop old Biff from stealing the [=DeLorean=], explaining that plan would only send them to a future altered by those changes.) |
| 286 | * WillTalkForAPrice: "Disney Adventures" has Taran, the star of ''The Black Cauldron'', inform Mulberry where she could find the unreleased cut of his movie, after she agrees to pull the BigElectricSwitch that could free everyone caged inside the Disney Vault. [[spoiler:Chloe disables security before Mulberry can reach the switch.]] |
| 287 | * AWinnerIsYou: "My Fat Lady" ends with the "Conglaturation!!!" screen of Creator/{{Activision}}'s ''VideoGame/{{Ghostbusters|1984}}'' [[Platform/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] game appearing in the sky, with its typos intact. |
| 288 | * YankTheDogsChain: "Friendship is Voodoo" has two of Mulberry's seemingly successful attempts at making a new friend fall flat. First, her new friend becomes too preoccupied to talk to her again. [[spoiler:Later, she strikes a geeky conversation with some other guests at a party, only to learn that they're actually ''Series/{{Portlandia}}'' cast members who mistook her for Creator/AubreyPlaza.]] |
| 289 | * YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: "Miraculous Adventures of Ledyba And Meowth Noir" explains this as the reason Missingno looks more like a scrambled glitch than an actual Pokémon to humanity. |

| 305 | * SchmuckBait: Taffy recalls [[http://platypuscomix.net/top213.jpg here]] that last Christmas, she gave her heart to [[Music/GeorgeMichael WHAM!]] Mulberry asks, "Then what happened?", only for Taffy to embarrassingly admit that she doesn't want to talk about it. |
| 306 | * TakeThat: |
| 307 | ** Mulberry offering [[http://platypuscomix.net/top132.jpg a code]] for 100 free Disney Movie Rewards points and explaining, "I, myself, will never buy enough teenybopper garbage and ''Series/HannahMontana'' pantyhose to earn the one worthwhile item offered in this program, the [[WesternAnimation/DuckTalesTheMovieTreasureOfTheLostLamp DuckTales movie]] DVD." |
