Throughout the series, Clowes makes many allusions to comic book culture, particularly to UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|of Comic Books}} comics of {{Creator/Marvel|Comics}} and Creator/{{DC|Comics}}. Some of the strips written in homage to this era include "Black Nylon"--about a delusional superhero--and ''The Death Ray''--a stand-alone story about a genuinely superpowered teen who derives his abilities from nicotine. This fascination with the larger comics world is also embodied by one of the series few recurring characters, Dan Pussey. A comic artist who rises to a short-lived fame followed by a long-lived obscurity, Dan's tale is a fictionalized blend of the biographies of several comic artists whose careers saw severe ups and downs, such as Creator/SteveDitko, Creator/RobLiefeld, and the team of [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Siegel And Shuster]].

* ObsceneOBGYN: Played with in the short story "Gynecology", where local gynecologist Martin Ten Boom is assumed to be some sort of degenerate because of his profession, and his wife uses this as an excuse to cheat on him with protagonist Epps, but the only indication that he might be up to something is his taking photos of a celebrity's vagina, which may have been diagnostic for a venereal disease. At any rate, he ends up ruined when Epps steals the photos from his office and sells them to the editor of a pornographic magazine, which results in Dr. Ten Boom getting sued and settling out of court.
