These things about ''[[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]'' are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.
* [[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}}:
Line 26 ⟶ 28:
** Seth joins Edda on her modeling adventure because Edda's pictures are for the men so now the ladies need something too. Yeah, Seth, because there are no ladies who'd look at Edda and no men who'd look at him.
** Seth practically forcing Edda to marry Amos and have his (Amos') child (no abortions!) because it's impossible to be openly gay, get married, and raise a family in New York City in 2012 (though gay marriage might not be legal yet due to comic-book-time and it'd be pretty hard to raise a family while being a(n apparently) single, professional ballet dancer).
** A [[Straw Feminist]] saying that all unplanned pregnancies ''must'' be aborted, as if to imply this is the only option and this is what pro-choice people actually believe. May or may not be a [[Take
** Despite being a grown woman with loving, affluent relatives and a loving (possibly) affluent boyfriend Edda is so [[Idiot Ball|stupid]] and cowardly about possibly being pregnant that a gay man has to practically threaten her to [[Idiot Plot|take a test she could've gotten from any pharmacy the minute she woke up feeling sick]] rather then traveling all over the place and making her loved ones worry.
* [[Values Dissonance]]: Juliette's (and Edda's) reaction to finding out she's the love child of a Nazi soldier (Yes, Kiesl considered himself a Austrian officer
**

** The above straw-feminist "preaching pro-choice when she's actually no-choice" (to paraphrase the author).
** {{spoiler|The implication that Gran wants Edda to have the baby despite the fact that, love for her children aside, her own unplanned pregnancy caused her to go from a burgeoning career as an opera singer in New York City to a passionless marriage in a small, presumably artistically sterile Midwestern town. It's probably moot since Edda's going to be fired from her ballet and modeling jobs anyway.}}
* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]] / [[Gender Blender Name]]: A lot of casual readers seem to be unaware that Brooke is a man. One critic thought that this was the only reason he hasn't been completely removed from syndication since readers would protest the canceling of a strong, creative, and sexually-independent female author.
