This webcomic provides examples of:

 * Adobe Flash: The principle program the comic is made in.
 * Art Imitates Art: Jack’s character design is a pretty obvious knockoff of the Moomins’ design.
 * Bizarre Taste in Food: Mort likes a very loaded pizza.
 * Briffits and Squeans: These visual shorthands come up a number of times throughout Newheimburg. Wafterons are used as a regular motif for Jack's emotional state. Plewds and blurgits are often used to indicate nervousness and movement as well.
 * The City: The titular Newheimburg.
 * Deliberately Monochrome: All of the comic is desaturated into a grey palette.

 * Long Neck: Carol.
 * Nervous Wreck: Jack.
 * Post-Stress Overeating
 * Reluctant Psycho: Jack.
 * Spiky Hair: Barry.
 * Tough Room: Mort introduces himself to Jack with a joke, getting no response. It didn't help that his joke was unusually sexist.
