Line 4:
** "Playing of Ball" was also [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=939 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 "[[Sesame Street (TV)|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 [http://tea-san.deviantart.com/art/Gunnerkrigg-Ico-68650626 an official artwork] in Tom's [[Deviant ART]] page of Kat and Annie dressed as [[Ico|Ico and Yorda]].
* Another piece of artwork has Kat and Annie dressed as [[Psychonauts (Video Game)|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'':
Line 13:
** Basil is talking about the whole affaire with Theseus. After he ends his tale, he sprouts "[[Ren and Stimpy|No sir]], [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=30 I didn't like it.]"
* From ''Chapter 4: Not Very Scary'':
** The bonus page has a quote from ''[[Timon of Athens (Theatre)|Timon of Athens]]'' by [[William Shakespeare]].
{{quote| '''Janet''' "[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID{{=}}69 Would thou wert clean enough to spit upon!]"}}
* From ''Chapter 9: Questions And Answers'':
Line 29:
** These comments from Tom:
{{quote| [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID{{=}}631 You are welcome,] [[Dragonball Z|Vegeta]].<br />
[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID{{=}}603 Eglamore subscribes to the] [[Jo JosJo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Jotaro Kujo]] [http://tomopop.com/ul/12745-550x-jojo02.jpg School of Posture]. }}
* From ''Chapter 29: A Bad Start'':
** In the commentary of [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=751 this page], Tom says the train is nicknamed "[[The Dark Tower|Blaine]]".
* From ''Chapter 30: The Coward Heart'':
** The crow and spiky-haired guy with triangular eye shadowing in the center of [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=774 this page] sure seems like a shout-out to [[Homestuck (Webcomic)|Bro Strider and "Seppucrow"]].
** The earrings 'could' be minature Troll horns.
* From ''Chapter 32: From The Forest She Came'':
Line 40:
* From ''Chapter 34: Faraway Morning (And Three Short Tales)'':
** {{spoiler|Janet And Winsbury finally reveal their [[Secret Relationship]]}}, only to engage in an [[Imagine Spot]]. [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=940 One of these imaginations] is a reference to a [[Lex Luthor]] meme, where he steals forty cakes (see [[And That's Terrible]]).
** Strips [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=938 938] and [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=940 940] reference ''[[The Fast and Thethe Furious]]''.
** Strip #[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=939 939] combines references to ''[[The Princess Bride (Filmfilm)|The Princess Bride]]'' and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=burd9upXC_U 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:
** [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1031 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 [[Official Couple|Robot, Shadow 2,]] and [[Shipper Onon Deck|Reynardine]].
