* ThrowTheDogABone: In issue 29, the main character is contemplating his family's cycle of bad choices, literally travelling down his family tree. At the end, he is seen joining [[spoiler:his long gone family members]] for a drink. And [[spoiler:Caleb]] is the bartender. It's incredibly touching, given how bleak this comic's setting is.
