* [[Emo Teen]]: Raffi as he enters his teen years.
* [[Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory]]: An in-universe example occurs when Mo falls in love with a poet whose poems she insists have clever hidden meanings. (They don't really.)
* [[Five
* [[Gay Conservative]]: Cynthia is a rare lesbian example of this. Earlier strips have touched on Mo's inability to accept anyone being both gay and conservative, and her current girlfriend Sydney is a borderline example- hardly a Republican but enough of a capitalist, materialist and contrarian to serve as a foil for ultra [[Granola Girl]] Mo.
* [[Granola Girl]]: Most of the characters are well into what much of the heterosexual mainstream would consider this side of the spectrum, but it is played straight (for want of a better word).

Line 61:
* [[Not Making This Up Disclaimer]]: Thanks to Bechdel's use of [[Kent Brockman News|parodic newscasts]] in the background, she had to use one of these when recording General Wiranto of Indonesia publicly singing "Feelings."

* [[Or So I Heard]]: Clarice back-pedaling after letting it slip that the bookstore's competition has good coffee, thus admitting that she had shopped there.
* [[Politically

'''Ginger:''' What are you proposing? Ideological diversity through affirmative action? That’s real conservative. <br />
