Line 34:
* [[Facial Markings]]: After an unplanned stopover at the home of the [[Cargo Cult|Scientific People]], Gully Foyle gets extensive facial tattooing that is implied to be quite, quite hideous. Though it is worth noting that tattoos are virtually unknown in the future.
* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]: Oh, boy howdy.
* [[The Great Politics Mess
* [[Have a Gay Old Time]]: The character Jisbella, or as she's more commonly called, "Jiz."
* [[Hulk Speak]]: Foyle (and it's implied lower class people in general) speak in a dialect that's a lot like this.
Line 42:
* [[Lotus Eater Machine]]: As a means of interrogating Gully Foyle.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Many of the characters are named after British towns and cities.
* [[Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex]]: After Jisbella reveals to Foyle that she's in a relationship with Dagenham, he tries to ask how that could be possible, given that Dagenham is a [[Walking Wasteland]]. Soon afterward, the reader sees how things work. Dagenham and Jisbella can have sex during his "safe" periods, and after that, they go to separate beds that are separated by a lead-lined two-way mirror allowing them to see each other but preventing Jisbella from being exposed to Dagenham's radioactivity.
* [[Marked Change]]: Gully Foyle's facial tattoos turn into this after he has it (painfully) removed, reemerging whenever he gets angry, or happy, or passionate, or emotional in any way, shape or form.
** To elaborate: He has them removed by having the ink dissolved out of his skin; while this removes the ink, it leaves something of an imprint, which fills with blood, emulating the tattoo, whenever he gets flushed.
