Line 5:
 
Much of the comedy comes from Ruthie simply being a kid and misinterpreting the adult world, or doing things that come naturally to kids but surprise adults. The rest is all realistic yet entertaining slices of life. More of a light-hearted portrayal of everyday life than a laugh-out-loud comic.

=== This comic provides examples of: ===
 
* [[The Faceless]] - Buggy Crispino, a little kid who "seduces" any female he can (i.e. he repeats things he must have heard teenagers say and tries to talk just like them), never has his face shown. Usually, his body is never shown either.
** [[The Un -Reveal]] - Buggy finally appeared on [http://www.creators.com/comics/one-big-happy/59763.html April 12, 2010] -- in a Ladybug costume with a hat and goggles that obscured most of his face. The closest we get to seeing his face afterwards is seeing his hair.
* [[Malaproper]] / [[Mondegreen]]: Ruthie is ''very'' well known for this.
* [[Most Writers Are Adults]] - Mostly averted. This writer has a great idea of how kids actually talk and act and what they care about, and captures it very well for the most part, although a good deal of the dialog is exaggerated for the sake of the punchline. It is, however, mostly realistic.
Line 18 ⟶ 17:
* [[Sibling Rivalry]] - Ruthie and Joe fight like any sister and brother would. They also play together like sister and brother too. Very realistic.
* [[Slice of Life]] - Basically what it's about.
* [[T -Word Euphemism]]: One strip has Ruthie tattle on Joe about name-calling, except that the letters used as euphemisms aren't the usual suspects so the parents aren't sure what the uncensored words are supposed to be. Joe still gets sent to his room.
