The standard intro (left) uses a scene from "Beauty and the Beet" (right), but for unknown reasons, the image is brighter, as well as reversed.

The city of St. Canard has a Hostage Rights charter, which grants hostages the right to a snack or juice, as well as unsupervised bathroom breaks on the hour. It is unknown what level of threat the villain taking hostages has to be for this to account, but as Launchpad has said in the past, they have a pretty thorough charter.

Darkwing swallows a lockpick every morning, and has the ability to forcefully retch it back up at will when he needs it.

It is unknown what happens when he does not need a lockpick that day, as keeping it in his stomach, or worse letting it pass through his digestive system, could cause him bodily harm.

In the comic "Bushwhacked", Bushroot repeatedly incorrectly guesses Gosalyn's name, calling her Gertrude, Georgina, and Gabrielle, suggesting he's very bad with names.

This could potentially explain why Bushroot never referred to Liquidator by name in the cartoon canon, suggesting that Bushroot still was not able to remember Liquidator's name nor alias, despite him saying it almost constantly.

However, on the other hand, within the comic, Bushroot was Gosalyn's substitute elementary school teacher for 4 school weeks, feasibly giving him enough time to at least vaguely know her, especially with her assisting in the garden after school each day, suggesting that it's possible Bushroot just does not respect her enough to learn her name.

As suggested in "Bushwhacked", Gosalyn avoids reading required literature for her class, such as the here alluded to The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett (1911). How well she did on the work surrounding the book is unknown.

St. Canard has a local minor league baseball team named The Fireflies.

The local radio station in St. Canard, as confirmed in "That Sinking Feeling", is named "KDUQ", which cutely sounds like "K-Duck".

Considering radio broadcast call signals typically follow the first letter K vs W rule depending on their placement of the Mississipi River (exclusions to this rule being due to older stations being grandfathered in) this further indicates the western location of St Canard on the map.

Darkwing has a compatibility test that he uses on villains to deem who is worthy of being his arch-enemy.

Despite having 300 questions, the only known question is: "Where do you see yourself in five years (three years with good behaviour)?"

In the comic "Hi, Voltage!" Drake reveals that he has hidden crime alarms in every room of the house. The one in Gosalyn's bedroom is shaped like an adorable frog toy.

Darkwing in "Quack of Ages" took a correspondence course on thumb wrestling. This means he at least at some point attended a correspondence school, which instructs via mail.

Had to get this fact checked since I believe you're a better source than the wiki when it comes to this fandom 😂 Are Herb and Binkie RELATED? Considering their ancestors get together in "Quack of Time' (although maybe they separated before having children and Herb's ancestor -the king- had children with someone else

I appreciate being regarded higher than the wiki for weird insane trivia.

According to Darkwing in "Quack of Ages", Quackerjack goes into the past 700 years, and then sets the coordinates to 1291 (which is funny since this episode is one of the set that aired in 1992 not 1991)

700 years is a lot of time, especially when we consider the shorter lifespans, of which were about 30, with people in richer locations living longer. When speaking specifically with genetics, six generations is typically when people stop being considered "related" because of the DNA not overlapping as much. Someone is free to feel close to someone who shares a great great great grandparent with another person, but there's very little biological overlap and does not put your offspring at the same biological risk. When it comes down to it, just about everyone is "related" in a way, the issue is bottlenecking DNA.

How long a generation is completely depends on when you have kids. For example, my mother had me when she was 44, but someone could have a child at 18 or younger. However, no matter what number we realistically consider a generation, 700 is far too large of a gap of time to consider biologically incestual, assuming their biological children and further offspring have no relationships with each other.

With this said, I do not believe the modern day Herb and Binkie are related, whether or not they had children together.

In the non-canon to DWD but canon to MLP comic Micro-Series Issue 8, Gosalyn is imagined as a unicorn with a baseball bat cutie mark. Drake is also portrayed, but it is unknown if he is an earth pony or a pegasus, due to his lack of a horn, as well as his hidden cutie mark.

Darkwing has several of his moves copyrighted. The patents, however, are still pending.

Herb Muddlefoot has committed small scale acts of voter fraud, voting for himself 12 times to be president of his lodge club. Karmically, he still placed 3rd out of an unknown number of candidates.

According to Gosalyn's will in "Bearskin Thug", if she dies, her zombie comic collection goes to her friends in 8th period study hall.

In "Can't Bayou Love" (production code: 4308-012) LP states that Gosalyn and Honker are at summer camp. In "Bearskin Thug" (production code: 4308-029) Gosalyn says she hates camping, and suggests that it's a repeated issue, having memories of camping with Drake prior. Gosalyn's list of reasons to hate camping mostly includes a lack of electrical stimuli (video games, television, fast food) but also a lack of beds and indoor bathrooms. It is possible that the only reason Gosalyn stomachs summer camps is that they sleep in cabins and have indoor plumbing, as well as possible sporty activities like archery and capture the flag.
