Alt Dave: That's great, but what about the huge freaking asteroid about to hit the planet?! |
 |
- Continuity Porn: This 2008 comic marks the beginning of an epic story arc that makes references to several past story arcs, including one that began in 2002.
- Another example is when the future Greg in the October 2, 2001 strip mentions that he hit his shin on the drawer in the kitchen on July 8th, 2003, and the comic's creator actually follows through with it!
- Magnificent Bastard: Apple.
- Tony.
- Retroactive Recognition: Lampshaded when Greg points out that Liz had a background cameo in one strip before she became a regular or his girlfriend (and later wife).
- Viewer Gender Confusion: Demonstrated here.
