Line 12:
* [[Babies Make Everything Better]]: {{spoiler|Not for Juliette and her now-ex-husband; unknown for Edna and Bill (AKA Gam-ma and Gam-pa); quite probably for Edda and Amos.}}
* [[Batman Gambit]](?): {{spoiler|Apparently Edda's tyrannical director has been wanting to get rid of her for a while, so he pushed her to the Nicolette Cygnet guys hoping she'd either ditch ballet for fashion or screw up so badly she wouldn't be welcomed back. Neither happened but she did give a scathing interview to a magazine, which the director hopes will be enough to fire her.}}
* [[Beat Panel]]: [[Cloudcuckoolander|Thorax]] is prone to taking up beat panels, and once used [https://web.archive.org/web/20090210035916/http://comics.com/9_chickweed_lane/2006-03-16/ a double beat panel] to great effect.
* [[Beautiful All Along]]: Who would've thought that the semi-feral Edda and complete nerd Amos would've turned out to be a gorgeous ballet dancer and a talented cellist?
* [[Big Guy, Little Guy]] / [[Fat and Skinny]]: [[Cloudcuckoolander|Thorax]] (big and fat) and his [[Straight Man|Pap]] (little and skinny).
Line 42:
* [[December-December Romance]]: Gran/Keisel. Gran/Thorax before that.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen|Defrosting Ice King]]: Kiesel.
* [[Did You Just Have Sex?]]: During the trip to the music competition in Brussels, Edda and Amos finally do the deed (the infamous "hand-sex"), with [https://web.archive.org/web/20100329140350/http://comics.com/9_chickweed_lane/2008-11-08
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Edda's. [[Blond Guys Are Evil|He's blonde]], has a trophy wife, and is despised by Edda and Juliette. Kiesl left after being told that Bill is the better choice.
* [[The Ditz]]: Roger ([[Alternate Character Interpretation|unless]] [[Obfuscating Stupidity|he's trolling Seth]]). "We need to talk." A minute later: "So, what did you want to talk about?"
Line 120:
* [[More Teeth Than the Osmond Family]]: A frequent knock on McEldowney's art: grinning characters appear to have triple the normal number of teeth. Also, women charcters frequently bare their teeth and/or snarl when they're in a sexy mood, so whenever the characters get frisky, the women always look like they're about to tear out the men's throats.
* [[Name's the Same|Name's]]... [[They Just Didn't Care|Similar Enough]]: {{spoiler|Kiesl is mistakenly given an obituary after a man named K'''ei'''sel dies. This wouldn't be quite so [[Egregious]] if their respective names weren't Peter and ''Johannes''.}}
* [[New Neighbors As the Plot Demands|New Relatives As The Plot Demands]]: Looked that way with the mention that Juliette has a sibling (Bill's biological child) who's never been mentioned before. Turns out her brother Roger has been established as such (but never seen) [https://web.archive.org/web/20110525011434/http://comics.com/9_chickweed_lane/2004-02-21/ as far back as 2004.] But as far as anyone can tell, he's been mentioned less than a dozen times, and not since 2005.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Edda nicknamed her teacher/principal "Sister [[The Caligula|Caligula]]", her aunt "Penny-Auntie" and her roommate "App-Sethalby".
* [[No Bisexuals]]: Seth still insists that he's gay despite being very, ''very'' attracted to Fernanda. He claims he's actually in love with her skills as a dancer despite constantly complimenting her on her beauty {{spoiler|oh, and he sleeps with her.}}
