Line 13:
* There were also at least two references to ''[[The Far Side]]''. "Beauty and the Beet" had Dr. Bushroot's fellow scientists Dr. Gary and Dr. Larson, while "Twin Beaks" featured a group of alien cows from the planet Larson. ("On [[The Far Side]] of the galaxy.")
* Not to mention that "Twin Beaks" was an episode-long [[Shout-Out]]/[[Affectionate Parody]] of ''[[Twin Peaks]]''.
* Let us not forget "[[Dark Knight Returns|The Dark Warrior Duck]]". Yes, a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Frank Miller]] in a Disney Cartoon.<ref>It wasn't the first one: The ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'' episode "The Masked Mallard" is an [[Affectionate Parody]] of ''[[The Dark Knight Returns]]''.</ref>
** And the first arc of the comic revival is called "The Duck Knight Returns."
** And one of the alternate covers for the first issue is of Darkwing getting spooked by the lightning bolt that was on the Cover for The DKR.
Line 23:
* ''Pelican's Island'' is a ''[[Gilligan's Island|Gilligans Island]]'' parody.
* How about Tuskernini? They probably just chose the name for the "tusk" pun, but he ''is'' [[Wicked Cultured]] nonetheless. The name's a [[Shout-Out]] to Arturo Toscanini, an Italian orchestral conductor known for intensity and perfectionism.
* Two of the hat aliens in the "Brainteasers" episodes are named [[The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951 film)
** Klaatu, barada, nikto... [[Army of Darkness|that rings a bell.]]

* Issue #4: In the near-final pages when {{spoiler|1=Scrooge McDuck is explaining how he plans to restructure Quackwerks and help rebuild the economic and law-enforcement aspects of St. Canard,}} there are portraits in the meeting room that show crude caricatures of Mickey, Donald, Pluto, the three nephews, and Scrooge during past adventures.
* Issue #5: In the prison, with Bushroot, Megavolt, and Quackerjack (who seems to have a scowl permanently replacing his toothy grin so far), is a single [[DuckTales (1987)|Beagle Boy]], and off-panel with just his ear and stubbly cheek, is none other than [[Classic Disney Shorts|Big Bad Pete]]. Later, in a flashback, there's a bear-skin rug that resembles old-timey character Br'er Bear.
* In issue #6: Gosalyn can be seen carrying a ''[[The Incredibles]]'' lunchbox if you look closely. One of the plant sculptures is Pinocchio.
** Not to mention that Negaduck is standing on top of Goliath from ''[[Gargoyles]]'' on the very first page. And one of the protester's signs was "Bring back [[Bonkers]]!"
Line 47:
** Then, there's a set of [[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|the Seven Dwarfs]] that gets smashed, and you can see Queen Grimhilde's "heart chest" on the last page.

** And when {{spoiler|Paddywhack rises}} you seen [[The Little Mermaid|Sebastien]], [[Pinocchio|Clio]], and [[Finding Nemo|Dory]] running scared.

** You can see [[Mulan]]'s sword in Darkwing's umbrella stand.
* Issue #10: Darkwing manages to activate a cloaking a device that turns his [[It Makes Sense in Context|flying car into a llama]] that looks a lot like [[The Emperor's New Groove|Kuzco]].
