* AbortionFalloutDrama: One comic is about how Midge got pregnant as a teenager in the sixties and had to beg, borrow and steal to have a back-alley abortion that she had to hide from her parents. The whole thing is portrayed absolutely horrifically, but an AuthorAvatar [[AuthorOnBoard steps in to explain]] that Midge was still lucky, comparatively speaking, because getting an abortion in her time and place could have gone much, much worse.

* FirstPeriodPanic: When Midge goes through menopause, she remembers the day she first got her period - because her mother had never told her about the menstrual cycle or given her permission to watch a video about it at school (implied to be WesternAnimation/TheStoryOfMenstruation), she had no idea what was going on, and assumed that something was wrong with her. It was only when her mother found her throwing out a pair of bloodstained underwear that she told Midge what was happening.

However, [[spoiler: the reader ultimately finds out that during their argument, Kenney was actually carrying a gun and almost got angry enough to draw it on her.]]

* AggressiveCategorism: Midge's insufferable [[TheFundamentalist fundamentalist]] coworker Marcie does this all the time. For example, she "know" that the recently hired temp is a witch who can put curses on people, because she has a necklace with a pentagram.
* AuthorAvatar: The author herself makes guest appearances as a character in the comic. Sometimes as narrator, and sometimes bickering with the main character.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Subverted - Sylvia is the beautiful one, and also the kind one. But it's all surface. She hates her life and her coworkers just as much as Midge does, it's just that she's fighting a constant inner battle against showing her true feelings.
* BuxomIsBetter: Subverted - Midge is thin with huge tits, but this does not make her beautiful. On the contrary, the huge sagging boobs strongly contribute to making her FetishRetardant.
* CatchPhrase: Midge says "Shit!" so often you'd think it was punctuation. Which, for her, it is.
* CategorismAsAPhobia: Midge has a crazy coworker who usually is merely bigoted. But in one episode she developed some weird panic anxiety against a temporary coworker because she believed her to be a pagan. The boss had to waste a lot of energy keeping her reasonably sane.
* CrapsackWorld: The narrative portray the world this way... or is it just that it's the world seen through the eyes of a bitter bitchy bitch?
* DeepSouth: Marcie surely comes from the deep south. She's a stupid and extremely prejudiced (but cute) SouthernBelle wannabe with a heavy accent.
* DestructiveRomance: Midge is so fragile that any romance she experiences is likely to turn into this.
* FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence: This trope is a stock complaint from various versions of TheFundamentalist, feeling oppressed by the existence of Atheists and Gays and so on. Even when the Atheists and Gays are simply minding their own business. ''Especially'' then, actually, since they thus send the heretical political message that they somehow deserve to exist.
* HeteronormativeCrusader: One of the coworkers is a evangelical homophobe - whose prejudice only serves to infuriate Midge further.
* LowerDeckEpisode: one issue is focused on a week in the life of New Age co-worker Sylvia, while main character Midge (aka 'Bitchy Bitch') was on vacation. While her relentlessly positive attitude is a source of annoyance for the perpetually cranky Midge, here we see her as a much more three dimensional character who is just as much, if not more so, stressed out by her job as Midge is.
* ParalyzingFearOfSexuality: Bitchy Bitch has this kind of baggage in her back-story, and it keeps dragging her down.
* RapeAsBackstory: Midge was molested as a child.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Midge feels this way about her coworkers. The feeling is mutual.
