Uzumaki, from page one: "I would like to share with you the strange events that took place ..." (and after Art Evolution goes far enough, there's some resemblance between the red-headed girls)
The comic takes a lot of inspiration by part of English folk musician Kate Rusby. Tom is a fan of her.
- Sir Eglamore, ("Sir Eglamore") the Annan Waters ("Annan Waters") and Janet Llanwellyn, ("The Maid of Llanwellyn") all take their inspiration from several of her songs.
- "Playing of Ball" was also quoted in the comic.
Lindsey & Bud's names, and the fact that they're engineers in an underwater habitat, to The Abyss.
Tom called Lily "Cookie Monster" when he named her in a tweet. She also shares his color scheme and seemingly has toned-down mannerisms and speech patters of Cookie Monster. She might be also a reference to another Perky Goth Genki Girl with much the same colour scheme, perpetual crazy smile and lack of inhibitions in the L.A.W.L.S. comic.
There's an official artwork in Tom's Deviant ART page of Kat and Annie dressed as Ico and Yorda.
Another piece of artwork has Kat and Annie dressed as Raz and Lili.
In one panel Antimony is shown reading a book titled Tannhauser Gate, a Speculative Fiction meme that dates back to Blade Runner.
From Chapter 1: The Shadow and the Robot:
- Shadow 2's appearance as a "horned boy" shadow is a reference to Ico.
From Chapter 2: Schoolyard Myths:
- Basil is talking about the whole affaire with Theseus. After he ends his tale, he sprouts "No sir, I didn't like it."
From Chapter 4: Not Very Scary:
- The bonus page has a quote from Timon of Athens by William Shakespeare.

Janet "Would thou wert clean enough to spit upon!"

From Chapter 9: Questions And Answers:
- Take note of the boxes Mort is laying on.
From Chapter 13: A Week For Kat:
- Logos from Tom's favorite video games appear on Alistair's clothing.
From Chapter 16: The Medium Beginning:
- Annie makes a mention that they will be late for their Karmatron Dynamics class. Tom is an admitted fan of the series.
From Chapter 18: S1:
- The giant robot in this strip, and the ensuing fight, a reference to .
- Metal Gear Theater, a two-page tribute to Kat's favorite videogame.
From Chapter 19: Power Station:
- Gamma's plushies in Zeta's Black Bug Room town here include Ray and Roast Beef, a marshmallow kitten and Mr.Jinx.
From Chapter 24: Residential:
- These comments from Tom:

You are welcome, Vegeta.
Eglamore subscribes to the Jotaro Kujo School of Posture.

From Chapter 29: A Bad Start:
- In the commentary of this page, Tom says the train is nicknamed "Blaine".
From Chapter 30: The Coward Heart:
- The crow and spiky-haired guy with triangular eye shadowing in the center of this page sure seems like a shout-out to Bro Strider and "Seppucrow".
- The earrings 'could' be minature Troll horns.
From Chapter 32: From The Forest She Came:
- After Kat and Annie make amends, Kat confesses her like of Annie's forest dresses.

"Also, I love the Princess Mononoke look you've got going on!"

From Chapter 34: Faraway Morning (And Three Short Tales):
- Janet And Winsbury finally reveal their Secret Relationship, only to engage in an Imagine Spot. One of these imaginations is a reference to a Lex Luthor meme, where he steals forty cakes (see And That's Terrible).
- Strips 938 and 940 reference The Fast and the Furious.
- Strip #939 combines references to The Princess Bride and this song.
Strip 1013 has Donald (Kat's dad) reading what appears to be The Beano (specifically a Dennis the Menace UK comic.)
Chapter 37, "Divine", has had two so far:
- This page might be one to The Lord of the Rings: Sam unhesitatingly grabs Frodo's hand when he's in the "hospital" in front of all their friends (it was kind of a big deal while filming the movie) while Kat hesitates to hold Annie's hand despite (or perhaps because of) the only people around being Robot, Shadow 2, and Reynardine.
