Line 100:
*** You can see pictures of actual Nazis in the third album.
* [[Odd Couple]]: Big and stoic Blacksad with excitable and relatively small Weekly. Also the literal cat and dog combo of Blacksad and Smirnov.
* [[Oh Crap]]: In Album one where Statoc's mammal henchman follows the lizard henchman into a predominantly reptile bar. As the reptiles are happy to illustrate: Hairy guys like him are {{smallcapssmall-caps| NOT}} welcome there.
* [[Once an Episode]]: Except for the first album, every story has a classic American song in the background ("[[Billie Holiday|Strange Fruit,]]" "That Old Black Magic Called Love," and "Summertime.")
* [[One-Hour Work Week]]: When he first meets Blacksad, Weekly claims that his articles are of such superior quality that he can get away with only showing up at the office once a week or so, which is how he got the nickname. Later on, he 'fesses up that it's actually because of an office rumor about his bathing habits. Since it's never established one way or the other whether his claim about the amount of time spent in the office is true, it's possible he's encouraged to stay away to save his coworkers from dealing with his...distinctive odor.
Line 114:
* [[Scenery Porn]]: This series is ''gorgeous.''
* [[Shout-Out]]: Senator [[Meaningful Name|Gallo]] is a cockerel, and is also an obvious [[Shout-Out]] to Senator Joseph McCarthy.
** In ''Arctic Nation'' when Blacksad is crouching on a roof overlooking the city his silhouette {{smallcapssmall-caps| SCREAMS}} Batman. Down to his very Batman hood-looking ears.
** [[Adolf Hitler]] is present too, but remains unnamed. As in ''[[Maus]]'', [[Cats Are Mean|he is a cat]].
** Several to [[Porgy and Bess]] in album four.
