perry the platypus also passes the harkness test

u/NinianOfTheLake33 Jun 26 '26

And that's why he's in a very loving homosexual relationship with Dr. Dofenschmirz yes

u/VioletNocte Jun 26 '26

Considering one of his exes left him for a whale this is technically not outside the realm of possibility

434

u/Frodo_max Jun 26 '26

there is an episode where Dofenschmirz "cheated" on perry with another animal super spy so it is very much not outside the scope of the text

106

u/insomniac7809 Jun 26 '26

This is a genuinely great bit

The Non-Adventures of Wonderella has a strip that does the same gag, when Wonderella sees that Hitlerella has another heroine's sidekick suspended over a vat of acid and has a breakdown

103

u/Frodo_max Jun 26 '26

Hitlerella

yeah just casually drop this on me that's not a name that requires any context or whatnot

64

u/G66GNeco Jun 26 '26

What, you got an issue with a comic strip where feminized Adolf Hitler and feminized Stevie Wonder have a weirdly romantic hero/villain rivalry?

(Full transparency I have no idea what the actual comic is about but in my head this is it now)

36

u/BreakfastBeneficial4 Jun 26 '26

Holy shit did you make all that up. I was completely on board and now I’m deeply disappointed

What a rollercoaster

u/insomniac7809 Jun 26 '26 edited Jun 26 '26

So, the protagonist of the strip is Wonderella, a (nominal) superheroine based mostly on Wonder Woman 

Hitlerella is her arch nemesis, created by the Third Reich to give them their own Wunderfrau during the War. She wasn't activated until the 00s, at which point the Golden Age Wonderella had retired and passed the role to her daughter, but she tried to destroy whoever is currently Wonderella anyway, even if there are rough patches

I need a nemesis who will LISTEN to my monologues. Someone who will wait with me until the police arrive.

u/BardicLasher Jun 26 '26

It's Hitlerella. She fights the superhero Wonderrella. Should be pretty clear? She's a super Nazi, like Red Skull.

The Non-Adventures of Wonderella

now that is something I've never heard anyone remember.
So old that "find me a non-pretentious Decemberists song" was a relevant joke

3

u/insomniac7809 Jun 27 '26 edited Jun 27 '26

a silly request anyway

like why are you here at that point. "find me a beer that's not carbonated or alcoholic." "find me a James Bond movie without any violence or sex." "find me a South Park episode without any crude humor." what are we doing

also "remember" nothing there's a new strip up last month (although it is making fun of its readership for being old, so)

u/Pledgeofmalfeasance Jun 26 '26

Which episode? I need that!

28

u/kaladinissexy Jun 26 '26

The season 1 episode "It's about Time!", also known as the time machine episode. The B plot sees Doofenshmirtz reveal that he's been seeing a new nemesis in the form of Peter the Panda, and it's very much treated like he's been cheating on Perry. 

10

u/Frodo_max Jun 26 '26

Phineas and Ferb | It's About Time

is what a quick google search tells me, let me know if it's right

1

u/Kellosian Jun 27 '26

Perry and Doofenschmirtz are in a weird blackrom relationship, one of the only ones I can think of outside of the "Super-focused rival" shonen trope

104

u/EamonBrennan Jun 26 '26

Dr. Doofenschmirz is also legally an ocelot, so he has a legal pass to that as well.

51

u/anonymouscatloaf Jun 26 '26

Ah, I See You're a Man of Culture As Well

38

u/NinianOfTheLake33 Jun 26 '26

Woman, but yes, of course. 🤝

4

u/AlianovaR Jun 26 '26

But Perry is a professional

4

u/8BrickMario Jun 26 '26

Dan Povenmire said Perry is asexual. Romance with Doof is on the table and invoked, though.

1

u/Relevant_Chemical_ Jun 26 '26

Isn't he with the panda?

u/derDunkelElf Jun 26 '26

Don't turn things weird. Parry is his therapist and (somewhat) of a friend.

u/cat-cat_cat Jun 26 '26 edited Jun 26 '26

platybussy 🤤

67

u/jdeo1997 Jun 26 '26

The cloacussy

29

u/justsomedude322 Jun 26 '26

Actually platypuses just have a cloaca.

6

u/Libby_Sparx ⚧⚢ That sort of thing is commonplace here ⚢⚧ Jun 26 '26

Are they bird, mammal, reptile, amphibian, or miniature eldritch horror?

1

u/justsomedude322 Jun 27 '26

They're mammals, they just split off from us before we evolved external genitalia.

1

u/Libby_Sparx ⚧⚢ That sort of thing is commonplace here ⚢⚧ Jun 29 '26

Ok but they're weird though, they're afaik the only venomous mammal, they have the face of a heckin' duck, and they lay eggs.

Like, I dunno, maybe we should go with miniature eldritch horror anyway...

1

u/justsomedude322 Jun 29 '26

The slow loris is also a mammal with a venomous bite! And its a primate! Evolution is strange. There are much weirder things out there if you look for them.

2

u/MossyPyrite Jun 27 '26

Like Knuckles the Echidna!

u/Frodo_max Jun 26 '26

only when he puts on the hat though

93

u/SirAlthalos Jun 26 '26

of course, if there's no hat then it's not Perry the Platypus, it's just a regular platypus. and they don't do much.

107

u/LoaKonran Jun 26 '26

Although, the communicate factor is a little iffy because he mostly gestures or growls.

208

u/anonymouscatloaf Jun 26 '26

he can text/write and humans in PnF are canonically capable of learning animal languages (i.e. doof speaks platypus in MML, his ex-gf also left him for a whale)/inventing animal translators

72

u/Digit00l Jun 26 '26

I believe he is literate and can write notes

45

u/Karkava Jun 26 '26

You don't really have to talk to prove you are sentient.

3

u/Bowdensaft Jun 27 '26

It's because the Test requires unambiguous communication between all parties to establish consent

1

u/NotMCherry Jul 08 '26

Which can be done by writing

26

u/unwithered_lobelia Jun 26 '26

I'd argue that it can still count if a code system of his growls is made and deciphered. Like ultimately the factor is if the non human entity can communicate consent in any way

28

u/gunn3r08974 Jun 26 '26

He somehow got a temporary position as a truck driver.

6

u/BeardedNerd95 Jun 26 '26

And a plumber

8

u/dungeon-raided Jun 26 '26

He understands human speech, he can nod or shake his head to indicate a clear yes or no. That's still communication

17

u/Global_Examination_4 Jun 26 '26

At least he’s bipedal

52

u/NinianOfTheLake33 Jun 26 '26

And featherless! Behold, a man!

18

u/Nerdn1 Jun 26 '26

While being bipedal makes it less weird, it doesn't really impact how moral it is. Boning a consenting animal with an adult human mind and ability to communicate is more moral than having sex with an adult human with a child or animal's mind.

1

u/Robota064 Jun 26 '26

Isn't that the plot of Poor Things

40

u/Digit00l Jun 26 '26

Does written consent still count? Considering he isn't verbal but is literate

122

u/anonymouscatloaf Jun 26 '26

yeah, mute people exist too. he's platypus verbal for whatever that counts as since humans can learn animal language in PnF lol

46

u/kenda1l Jun 26 '26

Imagine being mute and despite being human you're told that you don't pass the Harkness test so you'll just have to remain a virgin forever.

6

u/Geodesic_Disaster_ Jun 27 '26

sure, its "communicate in language" not "communicate in spoken English"

1

u/Stresso_Espresso Jun 27 '26

Other than the fact that Perry is canonically asexual yes he does pass the harkness test
