Tropes used in Newheimburg include:
- Adobe Flash: The principle program the comic is made in.

- Briffits and Squeans: These visual shorthands come up a number of times throughout Newheimburg. Wafterons are used as a regular motif for Jack's emotional state. Plewds and blurgits are often used to indicate nervousness and movement as well.
- The City: The titular Newheimburg.
