Added DiffLines:

* SoftReboot: After the Benders retired from the comic, the new creator established that his stories take place in an AlternateContinuity universe, where the old strip's events can be referenced in BroadStrokes, but things aren't quite the same.

Added DiffLines:

* EternalEnglish: Everybody in Alley's time speaks modern English. It's not a case of TranslationConvention, either -- when Alley and Ooola were first transported to the 20th century, they could instantly communicate with Wonmug and his assistant.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: The first storyline where Alley visited the present time was all about this. {{Averted}} later in the comic's run, after Alley learned what life in the 20th century is like.

Renamed, cutting ZCEs, low-context potholes and non-examples.

* ContemporaryCaveman: Alley has been shuttling back and forth from our time to his own for so many years that he's perfectly comfortable in our world, but he's still always happy to return home. Ditto for Ooola. Recent years have seen Guz, Umpa, and th' Wizer visit the present as well.

* InsistentTerminology: If anyone calls Dinny a pet, Alley will be quicky to correct them: Dinny is his ''friend'' and he's free to come and go as he pleases. Dinny spends most of his time out in the wild and it's not like Alley could restrain Dinny (even if he wanted to). Dinny hangs out with Alley because he likes him.
