History YMMV / HsuAndChan

* AcceptableTargets: The ''Franchise/TombRaider'' series, Tidus from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', the creepier side of the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom, and the magazine ''Game Pro'' are all frequent targets.
* DevelopmentHell: Norm himself has stated that ''Hsu and Chan'' #9 will most likely suffer from this. Five years later, it definitely seems to be the case.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: EGM's 2000 video game preview feature which featured the duo [[https://i.imgur.com/QQV2Z0z.png featured one bit parodying]] ''Film/EvilDead2'' where Hsu attempts to chainsaw off his evil possessed right hand a la Ash Williams. Not as funny 3 years later when Hsu really did lose his right hand in the comic.
* HarsherInHindsight: Yamamoto Games' claim to being "The most evil video game company in the world" was originally intended to be a silly joke about what an OverlyNarrowSuperlative the title was back in the 90s and early 2000s. Fast forward to the modern day and the joke might seem lost to readers who deal with real life game companies using such things as microtransactions, key features being locked behind a DLC paywall, Electronic Arts winning the "Worst Company in the World" award several years in a row, and pretty much everything relating to Konami in the New Tens.

* AnticlimaxBoss: Subverted in ''The Mummy's Tooth''. After dumping an entire shelf full of cursed items on a rampaging mummy everyone in the room is mutated in some way, for example, Hsu grows rabbit ears and Arnie grows a third eye. After looking for the mummy Hsu apparently locates the mummy who had been transformed into a cute mummy kitten. However, [[spoiler:after looking up, Hsu sees that the mummy actually transformed into a giant monstrosity that spits up tiny mummy kittens.]]

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: In December 2016, after a 2 year hiatus which followed very infrequent updates over a 5 year period, Norm announced that, as a result of his Patreon hitting several of its goals within one day, the monthly, page long strips were finally returning for the first time since 2008. In addition, he also teased a 20-30 page project which would be coming "very soon."
