* [[And the Adventure Continues...]]: More than one book has ended with this tone, implying that the work of the Head of Ranch Security never ends.
{{quote| '''Hank''': Case closed, and back to work!}}
* [[Animated Adaptation]]: The first book was adapted into an episode of CBS's ''Storybreak''.
Line 20:
* [[The Chief's Daughter]]: Missy Coyote
* [[Drunken Song]]: "Monkey Business"
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Chickens]]: Chickens are described by Hank as being so dumb that they only have six words in their own language, three of which are just different cries for help. J.T. Cluck, the head rooster, is shown speaking fluently on other occasions, so he may be smarter than your average hen.
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Monkeys]]: The story ''Monkey Business'' has Hank finding a monkey in a crate and using him as his own personal servant, inflating his ego in the process. The monkey later starts talking and usurps Hank's command, calling himself the Pasha of Shizzam. {{spoiler|But it turns out it was [[All Just a Dream]].}}
* [[Exit, Pursued Byby a Bear|Exit Pursued By Two Coyotes]]: Sinister the Bobcat in ''Lost in the Dark Unchanted Forest''.
* [[Expospeak Gag]]: Hank usually describes his physiology as if he were a high-tech piece of machinery, especially when he's getting ready for a fight.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: The coyotes are portrayed like stereotypical Native Americans, with a leader named Chief Many Rabbit Gut Eat in Full Moon.
Line 30:
* [[Horsing Around]]: Hank hates horses because, not only do they think they're better than everybody else, they will go out of their way to try and prove it.
{{quote| '''Hank''': If there's anything worse than pretense, it's reality. And anything that weighs 1200 pounds and bites and kicks and stomps ''must'' be considered reality.}}
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Hank isn't nearly as strong as he boasts he is, as smart as he boasts he is, or as charismatic as he boasts he is...but when the cards are down and someone's in danger, he still charges into battle as though he was.
* [[Lame Excuse]]: Whenever Drover suspects the slightest possible risk, he'll complain about his leg hurting. Once or twice Hank has done the same thing when he's really scared.
* [[Little-Known Facts]]: Hank always tries to impress Drover with exaggerated explanations of natural phenomenon. Drover, of course, believes him.
