* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: Juliette and Edda are actually pretty excited that they're a lovechild and -grandchild, respectively; even Gran's pleased that her first child was with the passionate and artistic Kiesl rather then the conservative and possibly brain-damaged Bill. Subverted when {{spoiler|they actually meet Kiesl and tell him he's a fool for letting Edna get away and then wasting the rest of his life pining for her}}. |

** Averted with {{spoiler|Edna and Bill's son Roger, who is understandably less-than-thrilled about recent revelations and now considers himself to be only half-siblings with lovechild Juliette}}: |

* [[Fetish Retardant]]: A critic, wondering why the faces bothered him, suddenly realized that all the women looked like [[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (animation)|Gadget Hackwrench]] minus the mouse ears. There's also the [[Slasher Smile|toothy grins]] sported by the women when they're in the mood. |

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: To some readers, Brooke's art style is such that whenever a character opens their mouth wide it results in this -- "this" being pitch-black holes with rows of teeth -- teeth which outright refuse to acknowledge anything even remotely resembling the actual anatomy of the human mouth. |

* [[Squick]]: Even among people as close as Juliette and Edda, is it normal for mothers and daughters to ask if they're wearing the sexy-print bras they bought each other? Also, Gran telling her sexual past to her daughter, with her granddaughter and her entire ballet class listening in. And now Juliette and Edda swapping [[A Date with Rosie Palms|masturbation]] aides]] I mean ''fantasies'' about [[ |

* [[Strangled by the Red String]]: Actually subverted with Edna and Bill. The outward trope signs are there (Bill and Edna end up together despite her spending most of her time and affection with Peter Kiesl), but it's clear that this supposed to be a massive mistake on all their parts: Edna choosing Bill [[Honor Before Reason|because of a promise]], Kiesl letting her do so without even a token fight, and Bill not making himself known to her for a decade, then accepting her (and her unborn child), rather than sending her off to be with the man she truly loved. |
