* Pirates: [[Exactly What It Says
* Supers: A hand-drawn theme featuring the adventures of some superhero RPG characters. Hasn't been done in a while as DMM doesn't draw those strips himself and the artist who did could only draw them in his spare time.
* Me: the ongoing adventures of the comic's author. Who was {{spoiler|dead}} for a long time. Specifically, {{spoiler|murdered by himself}} from the future. He then went {{spoiler|on the run from death}}, but now is {{spoiler|on a mission to kill his past self...}}.
Line 35:

* [[Exactly What It Says
** Although there's nothing regular about when each theme is dealt with -- it updates every day, but the updates of the themes are erratic.
