'''Jack:''' And he probably doesn't have internet... }}
* [[Cut His Heart Out Withwith a Spoon]]: At the end of [http://www.platypuscomix.net/newbiestuff/mulberryintro.html the page] where Mulberry introduces herself, Jack, and Tiff to new readers, she claims the site has infected one of the reader's folders, and opening that folder would render the computer incapable of visiting any website other than the one for ''[[Dora the Explorer]]''.

* [[Filler Strip]]: [http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=20&pageType=index&seriesID=4 "Murphy's Lawn"] was written to tide Platypus Comix readers over as Paltridge spent extra time completing a four-part ''[[Electric Wonderland (Webcomic)|Electric Wonderland]]'' comic.
* [[A Friend in Need]]: Mulberry often acknowledges the importance of her friendships with Jack and Tiff, whether she or one of them is the one in need.
* [[Follow the Leader]]:
** "[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=3&pageType=index&seriesID=4 Mulberry vs. Wal-Mart]" begins as Mulberry learns her companies are losing money to Wal-Mart. In response, she, Jack, and Tiff, then spend a few hours in one of their stores. At the end of the comic, Mulberry [http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=3&page=13&seriesID=4 applies what she learned from the trip into opening her own store.]
** Mulberry finds herself resorting to this in "Mulberry's Lawn," while trying to turn [[Brittany Murphy]]'s last movie ([[The Asylum|Asylum Pictures]]' ''UFO vs. Killer Unicorn'') into a Hollywood blockbuster. [[Universal]] nearly rejects the film for not having enough [[Avatar (Filmfilm)|blue people]], but she manages to get around that by [http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=20&page=12&seriesID=4 promising] [[Visual Effects of Awesome|"4-D" special effects]] instead. Mulberry also broadens appeal by [http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=20&page=13 changing the title] to ''[[Word Salad Title|The Feel Sandwich]]'', in hopes of earning a ''[[The Hurt Locker|Hurt Locker]]''-level of critical acclaim, and [http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=20&page=14&seriesID=4 turning Flava Flav's character] from a [[Dawson Casting|little boy]] to a [[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|sparkly vampire]].

* [[Insistent Terminology]]: Mulberry, Tiff, and Jezebel [http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=23&page=3 insist] in "Jeboozled" that men always refer to females as "women" instead of, "girls", although women can call each other girls.

* [[Invisible Parents]]: Apparently, Mulberry's parents have spent so little time with her, she has forgotten what they look like. (Once, [http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=2&page=10&seriesID=4 she nearly fell for] [[George W. Bush]]'s attempt to pull a [[Luke, I Am Your Father]] on her) Jack and Tiff have admitted to having parents, but they do not live on the Sharona estate.
* [[It's Been Done]]: Mulberry tries to find legendary objects in "Artifacting," released the same month as ''[[Indiana Jones and Thethe Kingdom of The Crystal Skull (Film)|Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of Thethe Crystal Skull]]'', but [http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=15&page=3&seriesID=4 explorers from all areas of fiction] beat her to each object she tries to find during the first nine pages.

* [[Last-Second Word Swap]]: After Mulberry fails in "Heiress A Parent" to convince the President of Television to lessen the amount of programs children can't watch, she exclaims, [http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=22&page=9&seriesID=4 "Go to...a field of daisies!"] after noticing one of her wards standing near her.
Line 86:
* [[Missing Episode]]: Several, but the absence of "Suddenly Mulberry" sticks out the most. After its removal, "[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=1&pageType=index&seriesID=4 Mulberry's 2004 Fall TV Preview]" became the oldest comic in the ''Mulberry'' archive. A few obvious signs exist that something came before it: the cover reads, "the second one", and Mulberry acknowledges the comic's interrupting her ''actual'' first arc.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]:
** By the end of "Artifacting," {{spoiler|1=Mulberry has obtained the History Eraser Button before Indy and Lara, and even turned John Kricfalusi into less of an egomaniac. Unfortunately, she [http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=15&page=24&seriesID=4 accidentally sits on the History Eraser Button], seemingly [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|erasing history]] in the process.}}
** At the end of "Heiress A Parent", Mulberry decides to directly remind Pitt's and Jolie's children that TV doesn't always accurately teach right from wrong, especially when sex and/or violence become involved. However, after the children assure Mulberry that they won't follow [[Barney and Friends (TV)|Barney]]'s pornographic-sounding [http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=22&page=17 suggestion] for a Google image search, {{spoiler|Mulberry tells them, "Remember, this is the same TV that keeps telling you [[Santa Claus]] is real!" The children don't seem to react kindly to this.}}
* [[Non Standard Character Design]]:
** [http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=15&page=15 John Kricfalusi], in "Artifacting," is drawn in the style of his cartoons as opposed to Paltridge's comics.
