* PaintingTheMedium: Generally avoided, but there is a moment in the last issue where Mutt physically censors Atcherly's speech bubble with his hands. Ironically, not a kind of Painting The Medium that would be possible in a cartoon.

''Dastardly & Muttley'' is a 2018 DC Comics publication, written by Creator/GarthEnnis and illustrated by Mauricet based on the ''WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines'' cartoon series, featuring U.S. Air Force officers Lieutenant Colonel Richard "Dick" Atcherly and his navigator Captain Dudley "Mutt" Muller. When Unliklistan is doomed by its leader's attempt to use the unstable radioactive element Unstabilium 239 to power a reactor, (someone pushed the wrong button) the General sends Atcherly and Muller to retrieve it before the wrong hands reach it. However, things go horribly wrong.

* BrownNoteBeing / WalkingWasteland: Non-lethally, but the characters eventually realize that not only is the Pig One spreading the Unstabilium wave, but those affected by it can also spread it just by proximity - Dick and Mutt most of of all due to being hit directly. At least some of the disasters they walked into happened just because they were nearby, which [[spoiler: the General is able to use this to, at first, pin the blame for everything on them]]. While Zee was exposed directly to War Pig One at some point offscreen, [[spoiler: Uncle is eventually affected just from being around her, Dick and Mutt for too long.]]
Added DiffLines:
* TalkativeLoon: One of the things that can happen with Unstabilium exposure. Agent Perkins spends much of his appearances increasingly deranged and spouting nonsense that nobody around him can figure out. This eventually starts happening to Dick, especially towards the end where his dedication to his big plan to save the world is stymied by the fact that nothing he says makes sense to anyone any more.
