!!This comic includes examples of:
* BiggerOnTheInside: The Ark. Even though it looks small on the outside, it somehow has enough room for sleeping quarters for all the animals, a cinema, a restaurant run by a hippo, a hospital, a pub and a golf course.
* TheDitz: [[MeaningfulName Dum-Dum]] the stupid gorilla.
* HaveAGayOldTime: The name of the strip. In the early 20th century, a "boner" was just a silly mistake. Nowadays it always means "erect penis".
* MeaningfulName:
** Dum-Dum the gorilla is TheDitz.
** Lookout the giraffe searches for land.
* TheMutiny: PlayedForLaughs. The Hyena frequently rebels against Captain Boner and forces him to WalkThePlank. This being a silly strip, Boner always ends up fine.
* NoNameGiven: The koala cub went unnamed for a while until the strip asked readers to suggest names for him. "Cubcake" was the winning entry.
* PunnyName: Dr. Quack's name is a reference to both his species and a fraudulent or incompetent doctor.
* UnfortunateNames: Captain Boner and Miss Boner. Even before HaveAGayOldTime set in, their names meant "silly mistake".
* WalkThePlank: In his frequent [[TheMutiny mutinies]], the Hyena often forces Captain Boner to walk the plank.
