!The [[ComicBook/FishPolice comic]]:
* DevelopmentHell: Moncuse said that he planned to revive ''Fish Police'' in 2010. So far, nothing else has come of it except sneak peeks in a single interview.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Most of the later issues, particularly the Apple and Comico ones, have not been reprinted.
* ReclusiveArtist: Little is known about what happened to Steve Moncuse after ''Fish Police'' ended. A 2016 interview with cbr.com revealed that he took a job as a school teacher before retiring in 2010.
* ShrugOfGod: In the letter section, Moncuse generally dodges the issue of whether or not they're actually underwater.
* WorkingTitle: As seen in Issue 0 and some ConceptArt in #26, the original title was ''Inspector Gill of the Fish Police''.
* WriteWhoYouKnow: Inspector Gill pretty much ''is'' Moncuse ca. 1985.

!The [[WesternAnimation/FishPolice cartoon]]:
* DisownedAdaptation: Moncuse has said that he disliked the series, likely because of [[InNameOnly how little it had in common]] with the source material.
* DuelingShows: With ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' back when ''The Simpsons'' was the most popular show in America and the world (the early 1990s). Along with ''WesternAnimation/CapitolCritters'' on ABC and ''WesternAnimation/FamilyDog'' also on CBS, all three shows failed to be true competitors to ''The Simpsons'' and it wouldn't be until the late 1990s into the 2000s that ''The Simpsons'' would have worthy competitors (''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', the WB's short-lived animated shows[[note]]''WesternAnimation/MissionHill'', the animated adaption of ''WesternAnimation/BabyBlues'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheOblongs''[[/note]], ''WesternAnimation/{{Dilbert}}'', and all of Creator/AdultSwim's shows).
