Revision as of 18:55, 12 February 2014


  • 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:

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

 You are welcome, Vegeta.

Eglamore subscribes to the Jotaro Kujo School of Posture.

  • From Chapter 29: A Bad Start:
  • 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!"
