I'd say that, just as it is for work pages, five tropes are needed for a Trivia or YMMV page to be created for a work. This work has three, which IMO does not justify the need for a Trivia and/or YMMV page, and I cannot think of any more non-Main tropes that would fit in this work.

*** Giving the main characters [[invoked]] [[AgeLift Age Lifts]] into teenagers because "kids just don't sell" and are "rude, self-centered, incompetent and stupid".
*** Adding in characters who are black, female, and/or gay in order to appeal to a younger demographic, calling the inclusion of such minorities a fad and stating that in a few months, the characters will be phased out and the comic can go back to the "real characters".
