- An Aesop + Truth in Television: In Losing Joe's Place, the narrator happens to help a hot girl with her college homework. Specifically, about food costs. Then he does the math after she leaves, and finds that it's actually cheaper and healthier to cook one's food than to eat out all the time.

- Invented Individual - In The War with Mr. Wizzle, the protagonists create a fictitious student named Gavin Gunhold to mess with the school's new administration. The name becomes a running gag in many of Korman's later books. Gavin Gunhold (sometimes G. Gavin Gunhold) is mentioned, usually in passing, always as an incidental character who never actually appears (unless you count imposters posing as him).
