Line 405:
* ''[[CRFH]]'' engaged Cerebus Syndrome with "The Adversary", a six-month arc that played [[Satan|the Devil]] (previously a minor comic relief character) as a terrifying threat, and the [[Butt Monkey]]'s (previously humorous) romantic woes as heartbreaking. It is not universally liked.
* Parodied and played straight while being [[Lampshaded]] in ''[[Shortpacked]]'': after Ethan explains to a toy store customer how "Try Me" products come to the store with a tag on the battery which, once pulled, means the battery's unstoppable decay, Robin accidentally pulls the comic's "drama" tag.
** It's also a [[Call Back]] to the author's previous [[Web Comic]], ''[[
** ''[[
*** [[Lampshaded]] heavily with the [[Shout-Out|title of the second]] ''[[Shout-Out|Roomies]]'' [[Shout-Out|collection]]: [[X-Men|Giant-Sized]] Cerebus Syndrome.
* When ''[[Bob and George]]'' started, it was simply a stand-in for another comic the author, Dave, was planning on doing and, as such, was mostly just one-off jokes from comic to comic. After the comic that Dave was working on never managed to lift off the ground, ''Bob and George'' began to get storylines and continuity, although it stayed humorous; the story is mostly told one punch line per comic, with an ending that borders on making a [[Shaggy Dog Story]] of a two-year storyline.
