* [[Aborted Arc]]: The love letter. Maybe. Just when you least expect it, it pops up again.
* [[Ascended Meme]]: [http://www.jaynaylor.com/originallife/comic/OL125.10-08-09.jpg Maybe.] Could be nothing more than a coincidence, though.
* [[Author's Saving Throw]]: Inverted. One of the few honestly human and good things Fisk did in the entire run of [[Better Days]] was refusing to help his friend Carlos commit suicide. A recent Original Life strip reveals that Fisk did this not out of friendship or respect for the sanctity of life, but purely for his own sake, stating the incident was all about ''him'' and how ''he'd'' feel if he'd assisted in the suicide. [[Character Derailment|It's actually managed to strip what little empathy Fisk had out of him.]]
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Janie, making Elizabeth's refusal to buy her a two-piece bathing suit [[Fridge Logic|pretty ridiculous]].
* [[Deep-Immersion Gaming]]:
** Thomas plays ''[[Gears of War]]'' in one of the first comics... with the badass protagonist [[Sarcasm Mode|coincidentally]] drawn like [[God Mode Sue|his father]].
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Fisk, since his job keeps him on the road. It's been argued that he just drops by occasionally to enjoy the parts of fatherhood he likes, while skipping out on most of that messy parenting stuff.
* [[Girls Have Cooties]]: [http://www.jaynaylor.com/originallife/archives/2009/11/052.html This storyline].
* [[Hatedom]]: Since this is a Jay Naylor creation, and Naylor has a huge Hatedom built up from ''Better Days''... yeah.
* [[Hollywood Atheist]]: Played straight by Janie when she starts looking into religion, she decides they're all full of it. However, Naylor actually intends her to be viewed positively for her insulting manner and dismissive attitude, so it's a little muddied.
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Naylor himself said that he wants to "keep it fun". It very quickly had a storyline involving Fisk and his partner cleaning up after a mass assassination on a boat, and Fisk considering cheating on his wife.
* [[Little-Known Facts]]

** Abby builds some autoturrets from ''[[Portal (series)]]'' in a rather gratuitous (and past-its-date) reference.
** [[Patton|Blalock, you magnificent bastard...]][http://www.jaynaylor.com/originallife/archives/2009/07/013.html I read your book!]
** [http://www.jaynaylor.com/originallife/archives/2010/10/145.html This strip] features an appearance by singer Grace Jones. This was an [[In
* [[Slice of Life]]: The comic shows the daily life of Fisk and Elizabeth and their children.
* [[Strawman Political]]: Angelica, the bunny girl mentioned above and one of Janie's friends, seems to have this as her entire character purpose. She stands for and likes many things that Naylor dislikes, like belief in anthropogenic global warming, philosophical skepticism, new age spiritualism, and [[Justin Bieber]].
