* GenreShift: A very well-done, through no fully explained, deceiving one, considering the time period the comic was written: Originally, the comic was originally planned as a run-on-the-mill fantasy story set in a Middle-Eastern-like world featuring action and ''straight'' romance. Starting with both issues 4 and 6, however, the setting is changed, through internal storytelling, to a Native American-like setting, which completely clashed with the pseudo Arabian setting from Leah and Thorin's era, and the entire "straight romance" part went down starting issue 6, whent the main protagonist, Liska, which was originally stated to be straight at first, turned out to be ''bisexual'' after she married with Shaygin, another girl, and [[spoiler:after Rial, Liska's male lover, died at issue 8 and having to break out with Pyndan at issue 18]] she end up becoming a full-blown lesbian, turning the whole plot into a GirlsLove story.

The keyword here, however, is ''trying'', since many of the information explained in the book contradicts many aspects already given in the story, and some other ones are later retconned afterwards.

''Katmandu'' was a long-running UsefulNotes/{{Furry|Fandom}} comic, and the brainchild of Carole Curtis, an Arizona-based writer, with art drawn by [[ArtShift many other artists]], from 1993 to 2018.[[note]]Technically speaking, the comic ended at 2010, but a epilogue episode was published in the ''Shanda The Panda'''s last issue.[[/note]] Originally, ''Katmandu'' was planned as a short novella, starring only Leah and Thorin, but due to the change of format from text to comic book, the story was expanded beyond the original scope of the book, which forced Carole Curtis to add new characters into the plot.
The comic was the sister title of ''ComicBook/ShandaThePanda'', done by her husband, Mike Curtis (better known as being the current artist of ''ComicStrip/DickTracy'') and, together with ''Shanda'', were part of the initial line-up of the Curtises' own editorial company, the now-defunct Creator/ShandaFantasyArts, after being published first with other publishers. Unfortunately, due to a combination of low sales, health problems that have plagued the Curtises ever since, not to mention problems far beyond her own control, Carole was forced to end the comic more or less abruptly in 2010, although she did write a distant ending in 2018 that explains in a telling way the ultimate fate of both Leah and her ancestor, Liska.
Just like ''Shanda the Panda'', ''Katmandu'' had many side-stories and additional material published aside from the main comic book:
* ''Katmandu Annual'': Basically, a six-issue collection of canon and non-canon side-stories, fanfiction and pin-up art, including the ones that were published inside the original comic, featuring specific characters in different situations.
* ''Katmandu: The XXX Files''': An erotic anthology of many stories done by many artists from the main story. Unlike the ''Annual'', the stories here are considered canon, and features characters that doesn't appear anywhere else in the main narrative.
* ''Alternate Worlds of Katmandu'': In short, this was originally planned as an AlternativeContinuity from the original comic, and was originally conceived as a crossover with ''ComicBook/AlbedoErmaFelnaEDF'', but the plans fell through when the author of the latter, Creator/SteveGallacci, denied Shanda Fantasy Arts permission for using his characters, leaving the story incomplete. Unlike the main story, the sci-fi part of the narrative was more notable than before, and it was more oriented toward action, compared with ''Katmandu''. Also, it was planned to give both ''Katmandu'' and ''Albedo'' a definitive ending, more epic ending, compared with the way how both comics ended up in their original canons.

* NuclearWeaponsTaboo: Discussed by WordOfGod in many of the Q & A sections of the comic: Although the historical backdrop of the planet Katmandu bears resemblance to our own Earth in many ways, Leah's timeline in the comic reveals that the inhabitants of Katmandu never developed anything akin to nuclear weapons. This is despite the setting being equivalent to our world's UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. One key reason for this is the absence of anthropomorphic equivalents to UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler or any Axis leaders during that era. Additionally, the Katmandis are not as inclined toward genocide, and they lack the concept of employing weapons of mass destruction, unlike humans. Instead, they prefer engaging in more traditional forms of warfare, rendering chemical and biological weapons non-existent in their arsenal as well.

* CoitusEnsues: Pretty common in the comic, as many characters, beginning with Liska for the biggest serial offender of this, ends up having sex for whatever excuse. It should be noted that, unlike one would think compared with other similar works using this trope, [[PornWithPlot sex is normally handled in a very tasteful, through erotic, manner]] and avoids being the sole driving force of the story.
