* BrokenBase: The [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vo9386/making_amends/ "Making Amends"]] strip features Philip [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin making amends]] with Caleb as he passes on while apologizing to Hunter as the latter forgives him. Some fans consider the strip to be emotionally heartwarming and a good redemption for Philip. Other fans feel that, though the strip and sentiment may be heartwarming, Philip, with all of his MoralEventHorizon, KickTheDog, and ChronicBackStabbingDisorder moments, that he does not deserve any redemption at all and hope that he does not actually end up as EasilyForgiven as he is in the strip in the show and ends up [[LaserGuidedKarma suffering]] for his monstrous actions throughout the series.

In the episode "For the Future", a fakeout occurs in which it appears as if Belos is about to possess Odalia, but he instead hijacks the far more sympathetic and lovable Raine.]]
* HeartwarmingInHindsight:
** "Thanks to Them" features a HappyRain scene in the Human Realm where Amity learns human rain doesn't boil and she shares a dance with Luz. 8 months prior, the comic titled "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/stxli2/into_each_life_some_rain_must_fall/ Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall]]" is based around this very idea.
** Various comics has the Hexsquad's reactions to Luz and Hunter's secrets to not be as dramatic as the duo thought it would be. "Thanks to Them" has it be revealed by Belos and they do take it in stride, even capturing quite similarly what they would even say.
** One [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ybifxx/helping_out/?sort=top comic]] has the reveal of Hunter inheriting Flapjack's dash powers because of the latter's sacrifice. "For the Future" reveals this to be very much the case.

In the series finale, this exact scenario occurs, but without Owlbert, where Luz is killed by Belos, meets the titan in the In-Between Realm, is given his powers, and comes BackFromTheDead after the titan finally passes on.]]
** A few of Mark's comics that are set in the future show Hunter with a tattoo of [[spoiler:Flapjack to remember him by.]] "Watching and Dreaming" would reveal that not only would Hunter get a tattoo of [[spoiler:Flapjack]] but so would the rest of the Hexsquad.
* HilariousInHindsight: With so many accurate predictions, many readers have joked that [=MoringMark=] is in the Oracle coven and/or is secretly a show production member (or even Dana herself) using an online handle to release deleted or scrapped ideas as seen from his frequent upload rate.
** One comic has Edric and Emira actually being slobs when off the clock. "Reaching Out" would reveal that they look much less pretty without concealment stones that hide their true appearances.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/651710116270358528 This comic]] had Hunter infiltrate Hexside under a new identity for a mission, "Any Sport in a Storm" had the exact same base plot (though the execution is extremely different).
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tynzx3/messing_with_boscha/ Another comic]] has Luz and Amity acting affectionate towards each other around Boscha [[TheGadfly purely to annoy her]]. They pretty much end up doing this in "Any Sport in a Storm", [[ImStandingRightHere albeit unintentionally]].
** One comic had Luz using the leftover wood from carving her palisman to make smaller insect ones that are used by the BATTS. "Clouds on the Horizon" would show that Katya does indeed have an insect palisman, though it's a rhinoceros beetle rather than the ladybug she used in the comic.
** Doubles as HeartwarmingInHindsight, in one of the comics, when Luz is told that Odalia disapproves of her dating Amity, Odalia says it's because she's poor and not classy enough, being disgusted that Luz thought it was because she's a girl. While it isn't completely correct, "Clouds on the Horizon" has Odalia mentioning that she would find Amity a girlfriend who isn't on wanted posters, showing that while she is evil, she isn't [[EvenEvilHasStandards homophobic or racist]].
** A [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/otciy5/under_control/?sort=new comic]] has Lilith being immobilized by her sigil but she simply detaches the arm that it is branded on before it spreads further due to her curse. "King's Tide" has Raine prove that this method works when Eda's curse triggered by the draining spell, stopping the spread.
** On a related note, another comic shows Amity and Edric tricking Odalia into believing the only way to save her from the draining spell is to cut her arm off when they found a safe way to remove the coven sigil, when just like in canon, Eda was saved from the draining spell through losing her arm.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/680882339932504064 In this comic]], one of the writers/gods of the world gets Steve to become a more important character, where he gets a unique appearance and a redemption arc. Come [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS2E19OTitanWhereArtThou "O Titan, Where Art Thou"]], and that's exactly what happens, just sans Steve dying to motivate the protagonists further (at least, as of the second season's finale).
** One comic has Eda StatingTheSimpleSolution by suggesting that Raine can stop the Day of Unity by simply not showing up to the ceremony. In "Clouds on the Horizon", Raine's plan is pretty much that, only the plan also requires Eda to take their place while disguised to use her curse in order to disrupt the draining spell.
** Many of his early post-"King's Tide" comics set on Earth have Amity wearing a pink shirt and overalls for civilian wear. The poster for the Season 3 premiere "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS3E1ThanksToThem Thanks to Them]]" show her wearing these very clothes.
** Some comics shipped Vee with Masha (the "goth girl," later revealed in "Thanks to Them" to use they/them pronouns). In "Thanks to Them", they actually get some ShipTease.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/664393691989000192 This strip]] where Belos is {{Satan}} himself, being based on Dana's initial idea of the show being Luz's adventures in the afterlife, [[spoiler:becomes ironic come the revelation that Belos is actually a KnightTemplar Puritan who thinks he's saving humanity from the unholy witches.]]
** Many comics prior to Stringbean's hatching depicted Luz eventually getting a bluejay palisman due to it fitting with the bird theme of the Clawthorne family. A bluejay palisman actually does show up during the DistantFinale of "Watching and Dreaming", [[spoiler:but it's under the ownership of Hunter, not Luz.]]
** The "Commander Eda" comics that were made between "Thanks to Them" and "For the Future" have the Titan Trappers serve as mooks for the Collector. "Watching and Dreaming" reveals that [[spoiler:the Titan Trappers did make to the Boiling Isles but were made as puppets like the other adults.]]

** Making Boscha likeable[[labelnote:Explanation]][[BarbaricBully Boscha]] is one of [[HateSink the most hated characters in the original show]].

** Giving everyone a full third season[[labelnote:Explanation]]After Season 3 of ''The Owl House'' was ScrewedByTheNetwork and CutShort, the third season was reduced to only ''three'' one-hour-long episodes, meaning the plot took precedence while other adventures for the cast were confined to montages or exposition. As Mark made a ''lot'' of comics exploring the misadventures of the Hexsquad on Earth, many claim, both seriously and semi-jokingly, that Mark is giving the fans [[AdaptationExpansion the rest of Season 3]] by himself, typically saying that unless canon directly contradicts it, there's nothing stopping them from treating the comics ''as'' canon.[[/labelnote]]
* MoralEventHorizon: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x7bcv5/sacrifice/ Odalia attempting to brainwash Amity and make her become a playmate for the Collector is considered by many to be an even lower move for her than even what she has already done in canon.]]

** Many comics prior to Stringbean's hatching depicted Luz eventually getting a bluejay palisman due to it fitting with the bird theme of the Clawthorne family.

** Giving everyone a full third season[[labelnote:Explanation]]After Season 3 of ''The Owl House'' was ScrewedByTheNetwork and CutShort, the third season was reduced to only ''three'' one-hour-long episodes, meaning the plot took precedence while other adventures for the cast were confined to montages or exposition. As Mark made a ''lot'' of comics exploring the misadventures of the Hexsquad on Earth, many claim, both seriously and semi-jokingly, that Mark is giving the fans [[AdaptationExpansion the rest of Season 3]] by himself, typically saying that unless canon directly contradicts it, there's nothing stopping them from treating the comics ''as'' canon.[[/labelnote]]

* BrokenBase: The [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vo9386/making_amends/ "Making Amends"]] strip features Philip [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin making amends]] with Caleb as he passes on while apologizing to Hunter as the latter forgives him. Some fans consider the strip to be emotionally heartwarming and a good redemption for Philip. Other fans feel that, though the strip and sentiment may be heartwarming, Philip, with all of his MoralEventHorizon, KickTheDog, and ChronicBackStabbingDisorder moments, that he does not deserve any redemption at all and hope that he does not actually end up as EasilyForgiven as he is in the strip in the show and ends up [[LaserGuidedKarma suffering]] for his monstrous actions throughout the series.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight:
** "Thanks to Them" features a HappyRain scene in the Human Realm where Amity learns human rain doesn't boil and she shares a dance with Luz. 8 months prior, the comic titled "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/stxli2/into_each_life_some_rain_must_fall/ Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall]]" is based around this very idea.

** One [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ybifxx/helping_out/?sort=top comic]] has the reveal of Hunter inheriting Flapjack's dash powers because of the latter's sacrifice. "For the Future" reveals this to be very much the case.

** A few of Mark's comics that are set in the future show Hunter with a tattoo of [[spoiler:Flapjack to remember him by.]] "Watching and Dreaming" would reveal that not only would Hunter get a tattoo of [[spoiler:Flapjack]] but so would the rest of the Hexsquad.
* HilariousInHindsight: With so many accurate predictions, many readers have joked that [=MoringMark=] is in the Oracle coven and/or is secretly a show production member (or even Dana herself) using an online handle to release deleted or scrapped ideas as seen from his frequent upload rate.
** One comic has Edric and Emira actually being slobs when off the clock. "Reaching Out" would reveal that they look much less pretty without concealment stones that hide their true appearances.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/651710116270358528 This comic]] had Hunter infiltrate Hexside under a new identity for a mission, "Any Sport in a Storm" had the exact same base plot (though the execution is extremely different).
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tynzx3/messing_with_boscha/ Another comic]] has Luz and Amity acting affectionate towards each other around Boscha [[TheGadfly purely to annoy her]]. They pretty much end up doing this in "Any Sport in a Storm", [[ImStandingRightHere albeit unintentionally]].
** One comic had Luz using the leftover wood from carving her palisman to make smaller insect ones that are used by the BATTS. "Clouds on the Horizon" would show that Katya does indeed have an insect palisman, though it's a rhinoceros beetle rather than the ladybug she used in the comic.
** Doubles as HeartwarmingInHindsight, in one of the comics, when Luz is told that Odalia disapproves of her dating Amity, Odalia says it's because she's poor and not classy enough, being disgusted that Luz thought it was because she's a girl. While it isn't completely correct, "Clouds on the Horizon" has Odalia mentioning that she would find Amity a girlfriend who isn't on wanted posters, showing that while she is evil, she isn't [[EvenEvilHasStandards homophobic or racist]].
** A [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/otciy5/under_control/?sort=new comic]] has Lilith being immobilized by her sigil but she simply detaches the arm that it is branded on before it spreads further due to her curse. "King's Tide" has Raine prove that this method works when Eda's curse triggered by the draining spell, stopping the spread.
** On a related note, another comic shows Amity and Edric tricking Odalia into believing the only way to save her from the draining spell is to cut her arm off when they found a safe way to remove the coven sigil, when just like in canon, Eda was saved from the draining spell through losing her arm.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/680882339932504064 In this comic]], one of the writers/gods of the world gets Steve to become a more important character, where he gets a unique appearance and a redemption arc. Come [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS2E19OTitanWhereArtThou "O Titan, Where Art Thou"]], and that's exactly what happens, just sans Steve dying to motivate the protagonists further (at least, as of the second season's finale).
** One comic has Eda StatingTheSimpleSolution by suggesting that Raine can stop the Day of Unity by simply not showing up to the ceremony. In "Clouds on the Horizon", Raine's plan is pretty much that, only the plan also requires Eda to take their place while disguised to use her curse in order to disrupt the draining spell.

Come [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS2E19OTitanWhereArtThou "O Titan, Where Art Thou"]], and that's exactly what happens, just sans Steve dying to motivate the protagonists further (at least, as of the second season's finale).
** One comic has Eda StatingTheSimpleSolution by suggesting that Raine can stop the Day of Unity by simply not showing up to the ceremony. In "Clouds on the Horizon", Raine's plan is pretty much that, only the plan also requires Eda to take their place while disguised to use her curse in order to disrupt the draining spell.
** Many of his early post-"King's Tide" comics set on Earth have Amity wearing a pink shirt and overalls for civilian wear. The poster for the Season 3 premiere "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS3E1ThanksToThem Thanks to Them]]" show her wearing these very clothes.
** Some comics shipped Vee with Masha (the "goth girl," later revealed in "Thanks to Them" to use they/them pronouns). In "Thanks to Them", they actually get some ShipTease.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/664393691989000192 This strip]] where Belos is {{Satan}} himself, being based on Dana's initial idea of the show being Luz's adventures in the afterlife, [[spoiler:becomes ironic come the revelation that Belos is actually a KnightTemplar Puritan who thinks he's saving humanity from the unholy witches.]]
** Many comics prior to Stringbean's hatching depicted Luz eventually getting a bluejay palisman due to it fitting with the bird theme of the Clawthorne family. A bluejay palisman actually does show up during the DistantFinale of "Watching and Dreaming", [[spoiler:but it's under the ownership of Hunter, not Luz.]]
** The "Commander Eda" comics that were made between "Thanks to Them" and "For the Future" have the Titan Trappers serve as mooks for the Collector. "Watching and Dreaming" reveals that [[spoiler:the Titan Trappers did make to the Boiling Isles but were made as puppets like the other adults.]]
* MemeticMutation:
** DAMNIT, MARK![[labelnote:Explanation]]Because Mark's comics vary wildly in tone between emotional and funny, this is the response of the fans any time Mark's comics hit particularly painfully[[/labelnote]]
** Making Boscha likeable[[labelnote:Explanation]][[BarbaricBully Boscha]] is one of [[HateSink the most hated characters in the original show]]. Despite this, Mark has made a lot of comics giving her depth and character development, leading some people to start liking her after previously hating her[[/labelnote]]
** Giving everyone a full third season[[labelnote:Explanation]]After Season 3 of ''The Owl House'' was ScrewedByTheNetwork and CutShort, the third season was reduced to only ''three'' one-hour-long episodes, meaning the plot took precedence while other adventures for the cast were confined to montages or exposition. As Mark made a ''lot'' of comics exploring the misadventures of the Hexsquad on Earth, many claim, both seriously and semi-jokingly, that Mark is giving the fans [[AdaptationExpansion the rest of Season 3]] by himself, typically saying that unless canon directly contradicts it, there's nothing stopping them from treating the comics ''as'' canon.[[/labelnote]]
* MoralEventHorizon: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x7bcv5/sacrifice/ Odalia attempting to brainwash Amity and make her become a playmate for the Collector is considered by many to be an even lower move for her than even what she has already done in canon.]]

** One comic had Luz using the leftover wood from carving her palisman to make smaller insect ones that are used by the B.A.T.T.'s. "Clouds on the Horizon" would show that Katya does indeed have an insect palisman, though it's a rhinoceros beetle rather than the ladybug she used in the comic.

** A few of Mark's comics that are set in the future show Hunter with a tattoo of [[spoiler:Flapjack to remember him by.]] "Watching and Dreaming" would reveal that not only would Hunter get a tattoo of [[spoiler:Flapjack]] but so would the rest of the Hexsquad.

* MemeticMutation: "Canon unless proven otherwise" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to Mark being able to perfectly mimic the artstyles of the cartoons he draws comics for, as well as sometimes filling in gaps the shows themselves don't, this statement, or some version, tends to pop up in the comments of his fanart.[[/labelnote]]
