* An [[In-Universe]] example is present in the "Stephanie Queen" story, when [[The Cutie|Gus]] explains the plot of his mom's latest novel, "The Curse of the Scarecrow". It follows the typical horror movie plot of "monster who goes haywire scaring humans, with said humans defeating him once and for all", but from the minimonsters' perspective, it's the tragic tale of a friendly monster who got cursed and wanted to play with the humans, [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|only for said humans]] [[Downer Ending|to capture and ultimately kill him]]. [[Cute Witch|Piruja]], [[Butt Monkey|Mienai]] and [[Reasonable Authority Figure|Mr. Abra]] end up in tears.

* The last story in the album starts with [[Gadgeteer Genius|Frank]] having a nightmare about being mocked by his friends [[Spoiled Brat|Victor]] and [[Cute Witch|Piruja]] for not having a pet. While the rest is hilarious, it shows Frank is ''deathly afraid'' of losing his friends, not helped by his [[Heroic Self-Deprecation|abysmal self-esteem issues]].
