* [[Memetic Mutation]]:
** The comic magazine itself was the first of its kind for DC Thomson, so most of the comics it created after it and ''[[The Dandy (comics)|The Dandy]]'' were shallow imitators.
** ''Jimmy and His Magic Patch'' became a nickname for mismatched cloth patches on repaired outfits.
** Lord Snooty became a slanderous nickname for a middle-to-upper-class person trying to relate to poorer people, and failing. Ironically, Snooty himself didn't befriend the children as Ash Can alley for a PR stunt, but because he could be himself outside of his royal duties and envied their lack of responsibility. It makes one wonder if the inventor(s) of the nickname understood the source material...
