Trivia

 * Running gag: Usually, in most of the issues, the Croc arrives and attacks the students, mainly Chicken and Rigby.
 * For the first volume, the only times the running gag doesn't happen is The Field Trip, Food Fight, Club Conflict, Flu Pandemic, and Invasion of the Student Snatchers.
 * For the second volume, the only times the running gag doesn't happen is Spring Cleaning, TBD
 * However, the only students Croc will NOT attack are Bubbles, Ed, Kevin, Nessie and Claire for these following reasons:
 * Bubbles because he thinks that her cuteness (especially when she is crying) is "unbearable to handle" and "too heart-breaking for him", making him considering her as his main weakness. His victims like Chicken and Rigby would sometimes use Bubbles as a weapon by harming her, causing her to cry.
 * Ed because of that one incident where Mandy and Ed were fighting and because of Ed's strength, he unintentionally injures Mandy, so bad that she had to go to the hospital. Since then, Croc is too scared to fight him.
 * Claire because he knows that any alive animal like himself cannot harm ghosts, which is the main reason why he added a "Phantom Mode" on Robo-Croc.
 * Nessie and Kevin because he believes that plesiosaurs and horse-sized tarantulas could easily take down crocodiles.
 * Robo-Croc, when Croc uses him to substitute himself when he's gone, will also attack most students. Though, like Croc, he will not attack Bubbles or Ed, but unlike Croc, he will attack Claire (using his "Phantom Mode" that was given by the Croc), Nessie and Kevin using his strength and will also NOT attack Dexter, since Robo-Croc thinks that'll be disrespectful to those who creates robots like him.
 * Running gag: Another running gag (since Volume 2) has Fred Fredburger randomly appearing.
 * A few times throughout the comic series, gross-up close-up scenes similar to those seen in Ren and Stimpy and SpongeBob SquarePants happen. For example:
 * In Food Fight, right before Aku fires his eye beams at Peppy, it shows a brief close-up to his face while he says "It's time".
 * In It Came from the Girls' Bathroom, when the Sink Monster makes its debut, it shows a close-up to him when he's popping out of the sink.
 * In the same issue, after Nessie forces Kappa, Bear Lake Monster and Loveland Frog to go in the girls' bathroom to capture the monster, Bear Lake Monster says "I can't believe we have to go in the girls' bathroom for those boneheads!". After that, it shows Bubbles, Mandy, Nessie and Claire making random faces in a more realistic style.
 * Flu Pandemic had lots of gross-up close-ups. In some scenes, it'd show close-ups of the students' sick faces. For example:
 * In Invasion of the Student Snatchers, after the fake Peppy Lion saves the staff from the lawnmower the fake Dexter was riding on, it shows a close-up to fake Peppy's face, with him saying "It's all over now!"
 * In Slug and Snail Invasion, when the Snail Queen was first introduced, it had a gross-up close-up moment, showing her disgusting appearance.
 * In the beginning of Taking Over, when Aku was trying to get the students' attention and the students never bother to listen to Aku, it shows a gruesome close-up to Aku's scary face before firing eye-beams at the students.
 * In Hail King Croc, when that dimension's version of Croc is shown, it showed a close-up of his face.
 * In Rise of Lord Moldybutt, it is revealed that this comic series takes place somewhere in the 2020s.
 * Since the town was abandoned 489 years before the events of CN: CNS, that would've mean that it was abandoned somewhere from 1531 to 1540.
 * Characters from Warner Bros. Animation cartoons have made cameos throughout the comic series. For example:
 * Bugs Bunny is the superintendent of the school district.
 * In addition, Lola Bunny, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig are occasionally seen with him.
 * In Hush Little Bubbles, Collin, Cooper and Tommy all make a brief cameo.
 * In Teacher of the Year!, Ashton Paintders is shown at the staff party as a cameo.
 * The name Sorridente is actually "Smiling" in both Italian and Portuguese.
 * The name Sorridente is actually "Smiling" in both Italian and Portuguese.
