Precocious includes Shout Outs to many newspapers comics (i.e.: Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts), and once a whole week of comics referencing Chrispy's favorite musical artists:

• Day 1: "Roam" by The B 52s
• Day 2: "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel
• Day 3: "Burning Down the House" by Talking Heads
• Day 4: "Karma Police" by Radiohead
• Day 5: "Love Shack" by the B-52s
• Day 6: "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" and "Living Well's the Best Revenge" by REM
• Day 7: four Beatles songs, complete with the outfits from the cover of Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
  • "Magical Mystery Tour"
  • "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"
  • "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds"
  • "Eleanor Rigby"
• A shout out to Monty Python and The Holy Grail in the form of an Unusual Euphemism here
• The comic collection Max is holding in this strip is an Ozy and Millie collection.
• "Angry mask inspired by Bowser Jr."
• Star Trek/Red Shirt reference
• Read the Alt Text of this comic. One of the commenters refers to Flanderization.
• Whenever Quincy shows up in the strip, expect World of Warcraft, Dungeons and Dragons, and other such references galore. One strip even managed to combine a DnD reference and a Pokémon reference ("It's a super-effective hit.").
• Tiffany's father is shown wearing a Kingdom of Loathing t-shirt, complete with modified stick figure (and another time outright playing it at work).
• In strip #573, Autumn gives Tiffany a celebrity makeover.
• One long Peanuts reference, especially the alt-text, here.
• Strip #735 unleashes a few in quick succession to, respectively, My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic, Gingers Bread, and Code Name: Hunter.
  • #736 ups the ante, referencing Frankie Goes to Hollywood, REM, and pogs.
  • This is followed in the next strip by a Joanna Newsom reference.
• In this comic's alt-text: "Tap softly and carry a big gift."
• In this strip, Ms. Pingo's ever-changing coffee mug provides additional shout out to REM and The B-52's, plus Ten Thousand Maniacs and New Wave music in general.
• It's safe to assume many of the characters are fans of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic. T-shirts are about everywhere, and Jacob decides to host a party of one, as it were.
