* ArtEvolution: The first few posts were [[StylisticSuck not of the greatest quality]]. The next posts are a lot more polished.
* OntologicalMystery
* ShoutOut:
** The first thing you see is a poster of [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClgXF_jwWAwPRu8nT1g90xQ Matt Gray]].
** The water bottle/sledgehammer is one to Webcomic/ProblemSleuth.
* StylisticSuck: More prominent in the first 5 or so posts, but present throughout.
* YouWakeUpInARoom: The first line of the comic is this verbatim.
