YMMV / Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures

• Fridge Brilliance:
  • The fae can travel in time as easily as we'd walk down the street. That'd explain why Mab's personality varies so much — we're not seeing the same Mab every plotline.
  • Why does Fa'lina seem emotionless? Emotions/some facet thereof are feelings that're expressed, however, hope isn't exactly a emotion, it's a state of mind. How might one express a state of mind?
• Growing the Beard: After Amber disappeared for most of a year around comic 73, it started actually being good and returned with some serious Art Evolution.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: The pre-Art Evolution arc about what was then known as the Pokémon fad ends with the death of the fad. In real life, Pokémon is an ongoing franchise that shows no sign of dying out. This example became especially ironic years later when one strip was titled with a Pokémon reference. (Specifically, to canceling a pokémon's evolution by pressing B.)
  • Also applies to this comic. Bonus points for guessing where her eventual first appearance in the comic is.
  • When Merlitz tells Dan that his new Cubi girlfriend wants to kill him, Dan gets distracted and starts asking if she can introduce him to a canine succubus. She will, in fact, bring him to the attention of such a Cubi and Dan will be a lot less happy to meet her.
• Harsher in Hindsight: At the hands of Characterisation Marches On
  • First, Matilda's fear of pancakes, mocked in strip 660, is revealed to be the result of a life-threatening adverse reaction.
  • Second, Regina's first rampage, initially played as a joke about demon priorities and an example of lazy demons-be-rampaging writing, is revealed to be a tragic misunderstanding
• It Was His Sled: The reveal of strip 302 is a major plot twist, but it shapes the rest of the story so much that it's hardly possible to describe any part of the plot without giving it away.
  • The comic is over 2,000 strips now.
• Unintentional Period Piece: The 1997 story arc that saw Pokémon becoming popular In-Universe (a case of Early-Installment Weirdness) was based both on its incredible fame at the time and the idea that it was a fad that would eventually die out—and in the comic, it does. Today, with Pokémon remaining a Cash-Cow Franchise in real life, the arc looks dated even compared to the rest of the pre-Art Evolution strips—especially after one comic from 2009 was titled with a reference to the franchise only those who played the games would get.
• Viewer Gender Confusion: Abel in his first few appearances.
  • Mink. Even he or she's not sure.
• The Woobie: Abel, via his tragic backstory. Jyrras also becomes this for some fans.
