Line 72:
* [[Really Gets Around]]: The real reason why Phobia can't tell Gastro who his real father was: [http://gastrophobia.com/index.php?date=2010-10-15 she doesn't know herself.]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Phobia and Gastro. Sometimes also Phobia and Klepto, when he behaves less obtusely.
* [[Reused Character Design]]: Amusingly, the Sphinx is apparently played by an "actress" from the trope namer, namely Saphire from ''[[
* [[Sarcasm Blind]]: Klepto in [http://gastrophobia.com/index.php?date=2009-01-23 this strip.]
* [[Servile Snarker]]: Klepto, with far more emphasis on the "snark" than the "serve".
Line 80:
** As of the latest storyline, {{spoiler|they've been dating for months}} and that's why {{spoiler|Phobia wants to set him free.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]
** The artwork contains numerous nods to [[Osamu Tezuka]]. Trivia's character design resembles Saphire, Ornitho ''is'' Duke Red, the Bambikles story has several panel layouts that reference the original ''[[
** The entire Bambikles arc is a direct parody of ''[[The Ringing Bell]]''.
** [[Popeye|Bluto]] makes a cameo [http://gastrophobia.com/index.php?date=2009-10-22 here], followed [http://gastrophobia.com/index.php?date=2009-11-11 a few pages later] by "the cow from ''[[Steamboat Willie]]''".
** The owl in the Bambikles arc looks like Bubo from ''[[Clash of the Titans]]'', and is named Archimedes after the owl in Disney's ''[[The Sword in
** [[Hark!
** Some character designs -- female ones more often -- resemble those of ''[[
** "[http://gastrophobia.com/index.php?date=2011-12-01 Horsefield]" parodies the ''[[Garfield (Comic Strip)|Garfield]]'' strips.
* [[Spoiler Opening]]: Appropriately, the "Opening Credits" show Mania a few episodes early.
* [[Stalker
* [[Take Off Your Clothes]]: In [http://gastrophobia.com/index.php?date=2009-08-31 this strip], Filby asks Phobia to take off her belt. She doesn't take it well.
* [[Tell Me About My Father]]: Parodied, with Phobia telling Gastro she was seduced by Zeus in the form of an animal, but which one changes every time she tells the story. The "Handsome Giraffe" probably being the highlight. Later it's vaguely implied his father is "Lord Nightsorrow".
