* [[Honest JohnsJohn's Dealership]]: Lois is usually a decent, honest woman. But in her profession as a real estate saleswoman, she stretches the truth as much as anyone else in the business.
* [[Hot Mom]]: Lois. Surely breasts that round and pert are unusual on ''most'' suburban housewives.
* [[Imaginary Friend]]: Subverted with Trixie, who has long, reflected conversations with The Sunbeam. Not ''a'' Sunbeam. ''The'' Sunbeam.
Line 17:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Hi and Lois ("high and low"); oldest son Chip ("chip off the old block"); younger children Dot and Ditto (twins - "ditto" means "copy of"); Trixie ("full of tricks")
* [[Name and Name]]
* [[Spin -Off]]: The Flagstons first appeared in ''[[Beetle Bailey]]''. Lois is Beetle's sister.
* [[Theme Twin Naming]]: Don't twins have enough identity issues without being named "Ditto"?
