* [[Badass]]: Gore. Among his list of accomplishments are sing beating and breaking the horns off of [[The Dragon|Jarris]], suplexing [[Big Bad|Jezebel]], and killing eleven of the fourteen vampires (all of whom were apparently older than him) who came to kill him (one got away, and two were finished off by Jasmine).

* [[Brick Joke]]: In a filler gag strip, Aaron admonishes Jone for breaking house rule # 467: "No area effect spells in the house." A whole story arc later, this [http://www.pyrocam.com/life-of-riley/comic.php?strip=372 comes up again].

* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Jone seemed to fill no role in the early comics except to be Gore's [[Clingy Jealous Girl|crazy ex-girlfriend]]. Later, she turned out to be vitally connected to a major plot point.

* [[Divide by Zero]]: The Duel of the Dans has a distinctly adverse affect on reality itself. To a lesser degree, this happens any time either of them goes past Stage 1, usually resulting in a [[Gender Bender]] for everyone in the surrounding area.

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Jezebel extracts the power sealed within Naisa by, apparently, making out with her. Both Dahn and Jone get pretty [[Squick|squicked out]].

* [[Orphaned Series]]: When it was orphaned, it almost broke up ClanBOB permanently, because the site it and all the other clanBOB material was hosted on was lost along with it.

** Despite this the forum community continues, and still includes folks who appeared in the comic. Webcomics still play a role in the community, as they founded [[Planet BOB]].
