Similarly, Ness remarks that the only way the pencil statue could be weirder is if it were an octopus.

* [[Spell My Name With an S]]: Darrow plays with the various examples of this trope from the games in his comics. For example when jokes are made in the comic related to Jeff's [[Earth Bound Zero]] [[Expy|counterpart]] are made, the name is spelled Lloyd. But when Jeff and Ness encounter an illusion of {{spoiler|Teddy}} in Moonside, he spells the name Loid. Also, the name Giegue (the spelling from [[Earth Bound Zero]]) is used to describe the physically and mentally intact version of the antagonist, while Giygas (the spelling from [[Earthbound]]) is used to describe him after {{spoiler|his body and mind broke apart}}.
