[[quoteright:103:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ian_809.png]]
* DependingOnTheArtist: In [[https://qxlkbh.github.io/107 Sonata's comic]], the tiny stick figure on the "Q" is actually drawn as a fully-fledged stick figure. In Ian's own comics, it's simply drawn as a line, giving the letter a hook-shaped appendage. Additionally, the beard is gray in Sonata's comic but black in Ian's.
* LampshadeWearing: Wears a lampshade on his head. This is an [[InvertedTrope inversion]] of the trope's usual meaning, however, as the lampshade is not used to indicate intoxication of any kind.
* ShoutOut:
** His lampshade hat is a reference to the default profile picture on Website/TVTropes, while the beard is a reference to [[VideoGame/ConwaysGameOfLife John Horton Conway]], who formerly served as Ian's Discord avatar.
** The "Q" on the hat also serves as a reference to Creator/RandallMunroe, who was raised as a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quakers Quaker]]. Look closely, and you'll see a tiny stick figure at the end of the Q, a reference to the stick figure that appears at the end of Munroe's signature.
* TheTeetotaler: The "Q" on his hat references the Quakers, a religious group known for abstaining from alcohol. This was done partially to avoid the association of LampshadeWearing with drunkenness.
