* In early 2017, Leslie's apartment is shown to have a ''Star Wars: The Force Awakens'' poster hanging in it. ''Shortpacked'' established Leslie as being a ''Star Wars'' fan.

Back in ''Shortpacked'', Leslie told Robin that it was watching ''Return of the Jedi'' and seeing Leia in the slave bikini that helped her realize she was gay.

* Dorothy's favorite episode of the "Dexter and Monkey Master" cartoon is the one where Head Alien crashes a wedding, a reference to the final (uncompleted) storyline of ''Joyce and Walky!'' Willis lampshades this in a [[https://itswalky.tumblr.com/post/32651588328/pivitor-this-is-me-this-is-me-so-hard-it-isnt Tumblr post]].
!!Referencing ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}''
* [[https://www.dumbingofage.com/2010/comic/book-1/02-uphill-from-here/why/ This strip]] shows Leslie joking that every female in Gender Studies is a lesbian. Readers who've read ''Shortpacked!'' know that she ''is'' a lesbian. She also displays a noticeable crush on Congresswoman Robin [=DeSanto=], the same dynamic she had with Robin in ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}''.
* Amber's early dedication to her laptop is akin to that of her early Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}} addiction to her computer. Only with several years advancement in technology meaning she isn't using Usenet, but playing online games.
* Amber and Mike's ''Shortpacked!'' relationship is referenced in [[https://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-4/04-the-whiteboard-dong-bandit/interrogation/ this strip]], with a LampshadeHanging in the AltText.
* In early 2017, Leslie's apartment is shown to have a ''Star Wars: The Force Awakens'' poster hanging in it. ''Shortpacked'' established Leslie as being a ''Star Wars'' fan. Specifically, the poster is of General Leia. Back in ''Shortpacked'', Leslie told Robin that it was watching ''Return of the Jedi'' and seeing Leia in the slave bikini that helped her realize she was gay.
* Joyce spends one storyline convinced -- on the basis of zero evidence -- that having Fuckface the iguana sitting on her head compels people to do what she wants. Sydney Yus believed the same thing in ''Shortpacked'', and in that continuity, may even have been right.
* Lucy has [[https://www.dumbingofage.com/2019/comic/book-9-comic/03-sometimes-the-sky-was-so-far-away/fog/ a poster]] of the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' version of Starfire. Her introduction in ''Shortpacked'' was as a representative of the demographic who loved the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' cartoon, bought ''Comicbook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'' because they were told "Comicbook/TheNew52 is a great jumping on point and it's got Starfire in it" and were ... not impressed.
* Dina has [[https://www.dumbingofage.com/2020/comic/book-11/02-look-straight-ahead/gestalt/ strong opinions]] on which cereals may be combined based on their milk absorbtion, specificaly referencing Cap'n Crunch. This is a sideways reference to the "Soggies may rule" finale of ''Shortpacked'' [[spoiler:in which Walkyverse Dina made an unexpected return]].
* Lyle's [[https://www.dumbingofage.com/2022/comic/book-13/02-turning-saints-into-the-sea/defiling/ first appearance]] is pretty much an exact redo of his [[https://www.shortpacked.com/comic/lyle first appearance]] in ''Shortpacked!''
