* GoKartingWithBowser: Partway through the comic it becomes obvious to Artie that Joel is the 'villain' of the story, yet the two still work together and even hang out sometimes. It becomes odd at times that these two are supposed to be trying to stop the other but still are still on "good" terms otherwise.



* {{Hypocrite}}: Minor example. [[spoiler:While Artie may or may not have intentionally committed mass murder with his powers, Matt's really in no position to preach the higher road when he's aiding his [[VillainProtagonist boyfriend]] and [[FaceHeelTurn turning]] into a [[VampiricDraining monster of the like]] himself.]]

** When Angie explodes at Rick for having a gay hook-up with another heavyset model, he rightfully calls her out that she's always been a perv and based on everything prior to this should be giddy over the fact her boyfriend had a homosexual rendezvous. Turns out he's right, what Angie's really upset about is they've grown apart with Rick being a model and going off the Paris when [[ItsAllAboutMe she's the one who wanted to be involved in that lifestyle]] and feels left out.

** Joel used to be this early on as a representation of how the author wished he could act if not for fear of persecution or retaltiation at his movie theater job ... until the plot shifted and Joel became more of a villian/anti-villian.

* EveryoneIsBi: A lot of characters are, even characters that are supposed to be ''straight'', like Artie, tend to have sex with the same gender, though [[spoiler:the first time he was being mind controlled and the second time he was really drunk]] not to mention [[spoiler:the time Artie literally MindRaped Joel]]. And of course there's Thomas, who is described as heterosexual but is shown flirting with men and having sex with his own son. This may be related to the fact that the author is also bi. Or just an extreme case of coincidence.

* AsTheGoodBookSays: ''Concession'' contained a few religious debates back when Matt was still in the TransparentCloset and Joel was trying to get him to come out. Other than that it doesn't really get into religion all that much, and the only priest shown so far in the comic seems to be a genuinely good person. He does his best to assuage Matt's gay guilt, and warns him about Joel, though the latter has little effect.
