Line 78:
* [[Really Gets Around]]: Star, partly as a result of the [[Free-Love Future]] but also as an acknowledged relief valve for the enormous stress of running the Twenty Universes.
* [[Self-Induced Allergic Reaction]]: Oscar mentions one of his classmates who avoided the draft by having extreme allergies. No fake, he was allergic to draft boards...
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** Numerous shout-outs to myth, legend and the few fantasy novels in existence in 1963, including references to [[Norse Mythology]], ''[[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz]]'', ''[[The Hobbit]]'' and Cyrano de Bergerac (the Never-Born).
** [[Goldilocks]]: Referenced by Oscar, who calls Jocko's wife and two daughters "The Three Bares" after they offer themselves (nude) to him.
* [[So What Do We Do Now?]]: What does a Hero do after beating the bad guy, saving the Twenty Universes, and marrying the Empress? Oscar finds himself asking this exact question.
* [[Standard Hero Reward]]: [[Deconstructed Trope|Deconstructed]]. Oscar's much happier out on the road slaying dragons than as the pampered, but ultimately useless consort of an Empress.
