Line 24:
* [[Funny Background Event]]: Plenty. Most notably, several panels have Johnny terrorizing various people.
* [[I Have Many Names]]: How Pepito begins his introduction.
{{quote| '''Pepito:''' Son of the dark prince, child of darkness. Some call me the altar boy of doom. Others will know me as the second coming of damnation. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|My mom calls me]] [[Some Call Me... Tim|Pepito.]]}}
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: At the "Defective Head Meat Institute", {{spoiler|Johnny}} says to a dream-studying scientist that he dreamed about killing her with a bag of ramen noodles.
* [[Happily Married]]: Pepito's parents seem to be this...despite the fact that his father is ''Satan.'' Subverted with Squee's parents, who are still together but with obvious instability between them.
* [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood]]: Pretty much Squee's life story, though [[The Woobie|it's not always hilarious.]]
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Señor Diablo and his wife (Pepito's mother) could count as this. Also, one of the Meanwhile comics features a guy [[Aliens Made Them Do It|forced to mate with a chicken]] so that his aliens captors can research [[Did Not Do the Research|human sexual encounters]]. To make matters worse, it's revealed that the man eventually marries the chicken and has [[Half
* [[Kids Are Cruel]]: Squee tends to be bullied mercilessly by every kid he ever meets for no apparent reason. The only exception is Pepito, who's fairly nice to Squee. Too bad he has a nasty habit of melting his other classmates faces' off, but at least he's nice to Squee.
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Less paranoia and debilitating mental disorders and serial killings than in ''JTHM''. Ok, I tell a lie, but here it's all [[Played for Laughs]].
Line 34:
* [[No Name Given]]: Ms. Bitters is never addressed as such.
* [[Nightmare Sequence]]: [[Once an Episode|Once every issue]], there's a page devoted to "Dreamtime", which is basically a page of Squee's horrific nightmares.
* [[One
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Squee himself.
* [[Pay Evil Unto Evil]]: Squee arranging for his abusive parents to get kidnapped by aliens.
Line 41:
* [[Ping Pong Naivete]]: Closer to ping-pong innocence. How aware Squee is of how screwed up his world is and how much he's willing to do something about it tends to vary from storyline to storyline.
* [[Resentful Guardian]]: Squee's dad, to the point where<ref>if Jhonen's snarky caption boxes are to be believed</ref> in his spare time he ''watches Squee's birth video in reverse.''
* [[Take That, Audience!]]: [[Jhonen Vasquez]] takes a jab at the JTHM [[Fan Dumb]] through the rantings of Squee's teddy Shmee.
{{quote| '''Shmee:''' Why, if sickness were a socially acceptable thing, [[Fan Dumb|those degenerative loons]] would be writing your neighbor fan-mail, telling him how [[Evil Is Cool|"cool"]] he is! [[Misaimed Fandom|They would admire his illness and aspire to it!]]}}
* [[Toilet Humor]]: Tons of it. Special mention goes to the unseen man in the restaurant bathroom stall in Issue Two. ''[[Scream Discretion Shot|Holy shit.]]''
