Line 16:
* Shive admits that [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-07-09 Susan's line here] reminds him of the speech patterns of [[Firefly|River Tam]]. Not to mention it's caused by a "serenity spell".
** And in the strip before that, {{spoiler|Susan's Awakening}} looks a little like she's turning into a reverse [[Dragonball Z|Super Saiyan]], at least if you ask me.
* So Immortals effectively die and are reborn in different bodies with different personalities? Sounds like a certain [[Doctor Who
** Speaking of which... [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-10-04 Panel 3 of this comic]. Take the glasses off that man, what do you get? That is the Eleventh Doctor, bowtie and all. [[Word of God|According to Dan Shive]], the resemblance was "amusing, but it wasn't something I planned". However, there's a good reason why that's probably not THE Doctor:
{{quote| '''Dan Shive:''' If defying the laws of physics made [[I Am Not Shazam|Doctor Who]] cry, he'd never get anything done.}}
Line 33:
* It has been mentioned in-universe that the most obvious superhero name for Grace, [[Squirrel Girl]], has already been taken by Marvel Comics.
* Nanase [http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/?date=2004-04-24 kicked it up a notch.] [[Futurama|Bam!]]
* Dex's mark that lets him summon fairies is [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-05-25 shaped like] [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|Navi]].
* Q&A #5 references [[Conan O Brien]] [http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?arcid=84 here], and the impractically pale-skinned elf [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-07-07 here] has a very familiar hairstyle.
* In [http://egscomics.com/sketchbook/?date=2005-02-03 this] filler strip, Dan's minion answers reader e-mails, and he comments "Just call me [[Homestar Runner|Strong Minion]]."
