Bald Women is now a disambiguation. Maybe it counts as Baldness Means Sickness?

* ShoutOut: To ''{{Wet Moon}}''. Louisa is at one point seen with shorts bought in that series' titular town, and some of the infamous "Cleo Eats It" graffiti is seen in a gas stop restroom. In a nod to ''Franchise/StarTrek'', Brody cracks "you will be assimilated" soon after getting her prosethetic leg.

2008 graphic novel by Ross Campbell. ''Water Baby'' follows a few unusual days in the lives of surfer girls Brody and Louisa. When Brody's surfing days are cut short by a shark making a snack out of her left leg, things could only go uphill, right?

* FriendsWithBenefits: When asked by Chrissie, Louisa admits that she and Brody had a fling a few years back. There still seem to be lingering feelings on both sides. A different situation pops up with Jake, Brody's ex, who seems to have become a friend after the relationship ended.



* HomoeroticSubtext: Between Brody and Louisa. Even brought up in conversation at one point by Brody. Ultimately disproven, they're just [[{{HeterosexualLifePartners}} good friends]].

* TheCameo: Outside of ''Water Baby,'' in ''{{Wet Moon}},'' Campbell's more well-known series. Brody makes a cameo in Volume 3 as one of Fall's friends, Louisa shows up in Volume 5 as a member of the Worm Lizards softball team. Conversely, Natalie gets a verbal cameo here.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Brody. We see both her parents, and they're both distinctly different, but their specific ethnicities are never brought up.
** Actually, her last name is Arakawa which is Japanese so thats probably her dad's race. And its a safe bet her mom is African American, so yeah.



* HollywoodPudgy: Sort of. Brody calls Louisa "fat" a few times in (lighthearted) insult, despite Louisa not being even close (she does have sort of pudgy cheeks). A little odd considering the high {{BBW}} quotient in some of Campbell's other work.

** Not to mention the initial shark attack. You can see the shark bite off Brody's leg, as well as the trail of blood when she's dragged out of the ocean.
