- Esoteric Happy Ending: The solution to the painting's problems lies not so much in achieving equality between the Alldunns, the Halfies and the Sketchies, but in turning the Halfies and the Sketchies into Alldunns. It feels rather cynical a conclusion, though most of the characters are happy with this. The fact that the free-spirited Lola foregoes becoming an Alldunn and looks on the proceedings with apparent melancholy might be subtly acknowledging this.
- Funny Moments:
- Upon returning to the war painting, Lola and Magenta painting all the soldiers uniforms blue. It has the makings of a clever practical joke.
- The paint fight that ensues while Quill and Gum help the Sketchies and Halfies paint themselves in.
- Heartwarming Moments:
- Ramo and Claire's relationship. He often tells "white lies" about how she has such a colorful face, because he sees her beauty goes deeper than the skin. Later, he helps paint in her face.
- Quill enjoying the sights of the Venice Painting.
- Lola meeting the true Painter, in person.
