{{quote| '''Dan Backslide''': A runabout... '''I'LL STEAL IT! ''NO-ONE WILL EVER KNOW!'''''}}
** In an odd example, Dan Backslide's line "Confound those Dover Boys! ... They drive me to drink!" has become half the source for, of all things, a ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' meme. Someone took an out-of-context screencap of Twilight Sparkle with what looks like a bottle of liquor, tossed in Dan Backslide's line with "Ponies" replacing "Dover Boys," and just like that, the Dover Boys had made yet another lasting contribution to internet lore.

* [[Weird Al Effect]]: Seriously, would you have heard of the Rover Boys at all except for this 'toon?
* [[The Woobie]]: It's hard not to feel bad for Dan Backslide near the end. Sure, he's a coward-bully-cad-and-thief, but he's {{spoiler|long since given up his dastardly intentions by the time the Dover Boys arrive to beat him senseless, as Dora's already beaten him within an inch of his life.}}
