* ContinuityLockout: A new reader ''might'' be able to independently determine most of what's wrong with Roxanne, but good luck figuring out how Saxon and Lionel fit into it.
* CouldntFindATissue: One strip has Clyde, who has become NouveauRiche, blowing his nose on a bunch of dollar bills (or possibly ''hundred''-dollar bills).
* LaboriousLaziness: Clyde uses his degree in biomechanical analysis to find the optimal position to use as little energy as possible.
