Also:

* BishieSparkle: Yuko without her glasses, [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/135 in this one]]
* BlatantLies: [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/143 "It's been a busy week"]]. Although they actually ''were'' swamped that week.

* [[CantHoldHisLiquor Can't Hold Her Liquor]]: [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/268 Yuko]], thanks to Asian alcohol intolerance.
* CharacterTitle: Possibly, but most probably not. There ''is'' a character named John, although no one ever calls him Johnny, and there's no obvious reason for the comic to be named after him.

* CheshireCatGrin: George as his default expression.
** Apparently, if he stops smiling, [[spoiler:[[ApocalypseWow the world explodes]]]].

** And [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/176 the grill]].
*** Note that they both involve [[LethalChef the same guy]]...
* DueToTheDead: [[NoLongerWithUs Parodied]]-- he was only [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/128 moving to Portland]].
* EpicFail: [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/50 Trying to dry peppers]] and [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/62 roast garlic]] in the toaster oven is a mistake.
* ExpressiveMask: The characters with glasses and HiddenEyes usually get this as a substitute.
* [[ExpressiveShirt Expressive Computer]]: The logos on the characters' computers often change to reflect [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/79 how they feel]], or [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/49 that the computer just died]]. Also the Apple logo tends to get replaced with other foods.

* GladiatorGames: John's opinion about the Super Bowl in [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/37 this]] strip
* HiddenEyes: Ananth's [[NiceHat hat]] permanently hides his eyes.
** Although [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/135 the hat's shadow remains after he takes off the hat]]... and to keep up the joke, his eyes are always blacked out in photographs.
** Also Yuko and George, whose glasses are ScaryShinyGlasses.... or just thick.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Ananth and Yuko.
** Even more so, [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/75 Yuko and]] [[QuestionableContent Jeph Jacques]], who apparently really is that tall in real life.
** For that matter, Yuko and John.
* ImpossiblyCoolClothes[=/=]RealMenWearPink: [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/221 He is a warrior. He seeks the Quickening.]] Right after some fancy cakes.
** With the right clothes, you can make any journey epic.
* IWantGrandkids: Yuko's mom.
* JournalComic: Most of the time.

* NoodleIncident: [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/112 Literally]].
* OlderThanTheyLook: Yuko is often mistaken for someone around the age of 14... despite being 24.
* OutOfFocus: When the characters of your comics are friends and roommates, they tend to come and go whenever they move away.
* OrwellianRetcon: After the revelation that Conrad's hair is a small furry animal, they went back and drew eyes on it in every single comic.
* PermaStubble: [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/302 Ananth's superpower.]]
* PerpetualSmiler: George grins constantly. If he is ever not baring his teeth, [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/136 the world explodes]]. Although he did [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/128 grimace]] once.
* Music/TheProtomen: They appeared in a comic accidentally hitting George in the face with a drumstick at one of their concerts.

** It looks kinda like a hedgehog...
* ShoppingMontage: [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/139 At Ikea, no less]]
* SlasherSmile: [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/6 "the secret punchline is the unwaveringly sinister grin of george rohac"]]
* SockItToThem: Used in an ImagineSpot, as the characters discuss what to do with $50 worth of small change.

* StepThreeProfit:
-->Step 1 - Vote\\
Step 2 - Get free food.\\
Step 3 - Repeat step 2
* StraightGay: A sort of WordOfGod. John's "John Advice" column on Formspring reveals that he's gay, but you wouldn't know it from the comic (except perhaps from his obsession with cleaning and his delight at the acquisition of a new coffee table). Who'da thunk it.
* TrueCompanions
* UnEntendre: The "Puck Fair" comic.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: Yuko is frequently mistaken for a boy (in-universe). This happens to be TruthInTelevision.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome: The [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/133 "Ultimate Clementine Peeling Technique"]], among others.
* WhatIf: Comics # [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/135 135]] and [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/136 136]]

* DontFearTheReaper: Death, who is actually a bit bumbling and awkward (but very sweet and an utter gentleman).
* KissOfDeath[=/=]StrippedToTheBone: (a very localised form of the latter)
* LooksLikeCesare: Eating feathers makes you look like this. Very noticeable on Callie, who has the classic black hair.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: It's easy to miss, but Cecilia's date with [[spoiler:Death]] happened in the 1920s. She stayed the same physical age for around eighty years because he was avoiding her.
* ShrinkingViolet: Cecilia's date, [[spoiler: Death]].
* TakenForGranite
* TransformationTrauma: The end of Callie Eats Feathers.
