* SubParSupremacist: While investigating a suicide, Blacksad finds a message written on the wall of Bobby Yale's locker reading "Fuck Negrose". The writer, who is revealed to be Arthur Tucker, misspelled "Negroes" ''twice'', the first attempt was crossed out and the second attempt was the final version. Not only this, he kept the stained towel in his locker, which was also decorated with a confederate flag and a newspaper article that praised his work with Artic Nation, a white supremacist organization.

* ArtisticLicenseSports: Some of the stats and achievements listed in the Hall of Fame cards don't really make sense without the context that these bios were written by Europeans who probably don't know American sports too well. A kicker is said to have never missed a punt in his career scoring 166 points in 166 attempts, but you can't score ''or'' miss while punting (there's no target after all), and field goals are worth three points. ''And'' that would be a vey low number of field goal or extra point attempts in a placekicker's career.
