Trivia

• The subtitle to this issue, The Wizard of Oops, is a reference to the famous children's novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, by L. Frank Baum. At one point in this issue, Kitty Pryde attempts to imitate the character of the Wizard, but to ill effect.

• At one point, the Bamf tells a porcine castle guard "Yer sister snorts Elderberries!" This is a paraphrased version of a line from the movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The original line, "Your father smelled of Elderberries!" was spoken by John Cleese portraying the part of a French soldier taunting Graham Chapman's, King Arthur. This is not the first time a Monty Python skit was implemented in the Kitty’s Fairy Tale environment. The cover to Uncanny X-Men #153 shows Kitty saying, "And now for something completely different!" – which was an often-used lead-in line on the BBC comedy sketch series, Monty Python's Flying Circus.
