Line 9:
* [[Brainless Beauty]]: Ben. In the strip where he's introduced, he admits that he broke his nose by accidentally kicking his own face in the shower. That's about the level he stays at for the rest of the comic.
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: Ivy. More lazy than brilliant, really, which hasn't stopped all of Ivy's teachers from telling her how much potential she has.
* [[Cut His Heart Out
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: One of Cleo's prominent traits, and one that gets her much grief from others.
* [[Epic Fail]]: Discussed. Cleo thinks it would be funny if her clothes folding was so bad that it set her clothes on fire.
Line 24:
* [[I Resemble That Remark]]: "Why would you say I'm lazy?" Ivy asks, at the end of a conversation she spent lying on the couch.
* [[Insult Friendly Fire]]: Ivy worries about getting enough credits to graduate in time, stating that she can't put up with an extra semester, and--heaven forbid--what if she has to keep coming back to school for the rest of her life. Then she remembers that she's talking with a teacher.
* [[Intercourse
* [[Kavorka Man]]: Lewis's sexual history is implied to be rather extensive.
* [[Just One More Level]]: Cleo buys a videogame for Marlene, who doesn't even like games. Marlene decides to try the game out for five minutes. 72 hours of non-stop playing later, Marlene beats the game.
Line 32:
* [[Mushroom Samba]]: In one holiday break, Ivy eats so many chips that she has a fever-dream of being visited by Bootsy Collins. Much later, the three girls get lost in the woods, and their hunger causes Marlene and Ivy to hallucinate [[Spirit Advisor|Spirit Advisors]]--Marlene hears the voice of [[Alfred Hitchcock]] from a fossil fern, and Ivy sees a fish wearing Bootsy Collins' glasses. Cleo had no hallucinations, much to her disappointment.
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Ben is the last person to figure out that Cleo is crushing on him. Later, Cleo herself doesn't realize that Bruce was flirting with her until Ivy points it out.
* [[Oh, No, Not Again]]: A bowl of fish dies within seconds of being left with Marlene. Marlene wishes she could say that's the fastest a pet has ever died in her care.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: {{spoiler|Ben is nearly 30 at the start of the comic.}}
* [[The One Thing I Don't Hate About You]]: Upon seeing Cleo in metal shop class, Ivy and Marlene are briefly shocked into respecting her.
Line 41:
* [[Scrabble Babble]]: Marlene convinces the others to let her play "toastery".
* [[Secret Shop]]: Cleo and her sister Adelaide visit a secret videogame shop, hidden behind a decrepit internet cafe.
* [[Shallow Parody]]: Cleo attempts an ironic ukelele cover of [[
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Georgie Boray, Marlene's best friend, seems unable to express himself without Marlene nearby.
* [[Slice of Life]]: ''College'' life, that is.
