* ShortLivedOrganism: The Crater People are a race of mutated humans who are born with adult-level intellect, but age extremely quickly. They reach adulthood at three years of age, but spontaneously die at five or six. They obsessively pursue Kamandi due to the belief that he, the last normal boy on Earth, is the key for them to achieve longevity.

* BodyHorror: Leonid Vassilov is one of the few humans who have managed to survive the Great Disaster. However, exposure to radiation has severely mutated his body, transforming him into a boneless pink creature with acidic skin.
Added DiffLines:
* HairTriggerTemper: Kamandi follows the impulsive hero archetype that is commonly featured in Jack Kirby's works, being portrayed as a courageous, emotional young man who gets into fist fights at the slightest provocation. One of the earliest demonstrations of his aggressiveness is when he punches another man for accepting to be a tiger's pet, as he believes such subservience is a disservice to humanity's legacy.
* HopeSpot: Though several stories make it appear as if Kamandi's goal of finding another sapient member of his own species can be accomplished, his hopes are always dashed at the last minute. One example is issue 20, where Kamandi discovers what appears to be a thriving human community in Chicago, only for the ending to reveal that those people were just animatronics being operated by an artificial intelligence. The story concludes with Kamandi sorrowfully lamenting that he is truly alone.
* HopeSpringsEternal: Though Kamandi never manages to find another sapient human being, issue 16 suggests that there is still hope for the species. At the end of the story, some humans are exposed to Cortexin, a synthetic compound which made animals progressively more intelligent with every generation. The panels juxtapose the scientists' research notes with displays of the affected humans' newfound problem solving skills, implying that, within a few decades, mankind may recover to its former glory.

* HumansAreMorons: After the Great Disaster, humans lost most of their intellect while other animals became sapient, leading the former species to be seen as pets at best and expendable slaves at worst. Even then, Canus suggests that the current scientific community believes human beings to have been ignorant even before the disaster.

* TerrifiedOfGerms: The crocodiles that Kamandi fights in the resort are fiercely protective of their territory not only because the establishment runs on the law of the strongest, but because they strongly believe that humans carry germs and may contaminate their pool.
Added DiffLines:
* WorldWarIII: Though the exact nature of the Great Disaster is never firmly established, Jack Kirby drops some hints that it may have originated from the Cold War degenerating into a nuclear conflict. Kamandi is told that a significant portion of the biosphere has been contaminated with radiation, and he later comes across a recording from a Soviet space ship where the astronauts are horrified due to witnessing explosions on Earth's surface.
