Remarks

 * The "What Are You Gonna Do Today?" section mentions an iPad version of the magazine with exclusive comics.
 * There are a number of references to past episodes throughout the magazine- in fact, in "The Shopping List of Pure Evil!", readers are encouraged to write in pointing out which items on the list appear in what episodes for a chance for their names to be printed in a future issue.
 * Additional articles in the "Daily Danville" are credited to "Wyn A. Gartmeiner" and "Rita M. Greennway," both of which are anagrams of Amy Weingartner.
 * Though not specifically references in the comics itself, we can infer from the events that "That's Snow Man, That's a Monster!" and "Cartoon Doof" take place at the same time: Doofenshmirtz's Animat-inator is what brought the giant snowman to life, and he is eventually defeated by the soggy remnants of said snowman.
 * Dr. Doofenshmirtz erroneously claims there are only 20 items on the "Pure Alphabetical Evil!" list. Since he skipped four letters, the correct number of items is 22.
