Line 16:
* [[Big Eater]]: Benny, whose catchphrase was practically "I'm hungry!"
* [[Comic Book Time]]: Initially set in the depression era, more recent books have included passenger jets, tropical cruises, and the internet. They have a different summer adventure in every book, and they're all still young somehow...
* [[Crane Game Gag]]: A variant exists with gumballs in ''The Pizza Mystery''. Benny uses pennies to get a silver gumball at a gas station. A silver gumball can be traded in for a free treat. He ends up not getting any on the first four, but gets the fifth when a random stranger puts in a penny and shoves his inside. Because said stranger is a jerk, however, Benny refuses to get a treat, looking upset. At the end of the book, he wins a gumball on his first try, but insists on keeping it as his treat and souvenir for the trip.
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: If the culprit of whatever mystery they're solving has any decency in him/her at all, he'll be reconciled to the Aldens right away.
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: Benny is Sanguine, Violet is Melancholic, Jessie is Phlegmatic, and Henry is Choleric.
