* The label on [http://www.bestplasticcleaner.com/2polish.jpg this product], a polish for acrylic, reads ''FINE SCRATCH REMOVER: Removes Fine Scratches''. You know, in case it wasn't absolutely clear.

** From an early Christmas strip: "I love Christmas. The parties and the presents, the caroling, the presents, the food, the presents, the decorations, the presents, the fun and the presents."

== Webcomics made and Uploaded to the Internet by Webcomic Artists ==
* [http://cdc.comicgenesis.com/d/20050408.html This] ''Life on Forbez'' strip reveals that the ruling alien race, the Omnis, are very redundant about the Stray Particle Detectors used to located stolen components of machinery they designed, which are inside said machinery.
