* The episode "That Sinking Feeling" begins with Reggie stealing Rudy last piece of magic chalk, which he says was his last piece. After a brief chase, Reggie just decides to smash the chalk to pieces. Luckily, Reggie grinding the chalk was enough to create a portal into [=ChalkZone=], kicking off the plot of the episode, but really think about this. Rudy's last piece of magic chalk was stolen and nearly destroyed by the school bully. If he had just taken Penny's advice and went into [=ChalkZone=] at a safer place than out in the open, this could have been avoided. In that act of carelessness, never again would Rudy have been able to visit [=ChalkZone=]. Let that [[IncrediblyLamePun sink in]] for a moment.

It's rain inside Chalk Zone, which isn't fatal to Zoners. Only Real World rain is.


* Supposedly, there was at one point plans for an episode where Scrawl teamed up with a human who had turned into a Zoner... which opens up a ''barrel'' of implications about how Chalkzone works. If a human stays in Chalkzone for more than a day they turn into a chalk drawing themselves and thus can no longer leave. Chalkzone is a damn '''''FisherKingdom'''''. You stay too long, your physical properties change without your consent and you'll be unable to return to your original reality. Water is suddenly a death sentence, you will outlive all of your loved ones by centuries, you will never see the real sun again unless someone on the other side opens a portal and you manage to find it. You are now CHALK.
* The music video "Please Let Me In" adds some fridge horror when you realize it's going to rain. Water is fatal to Snap, so if someone doesn't let him in he'll literally DIE.

Added DiffLines:

** The adults were planning to break up the pavement, thinking Reggie somehow wedged his foot in a crack. it was demonstrated earlier that destroying a portal's physical surface causes the portal to disappear. They also intended to use water to loosen his foot, which also would have erased the portal. If Penny hadn't stopped them, Reggie would have been accidentally amputated. And no one would know what happened, cause from their point of view, his leg would have disappeared.

* It may seem odd that Bathtub Granny [[BarbieDollAnatomy has no breasts]] when her torso isn't obscured by bathwater, but there's another reason for this besides ''[=ChalkZone=]'' being a children's show. Rudy, a child himself, was the one who drew her, and he likely wasn't aware of the differences between male and female anatomy when he did so.

* The episode Chalk Queen is this trope in ''spades''. The plot concerns Skrawl kidnapping Penny and convincing her to rule [=ChalkZone=] with him as his titular "Chalk Queen". Even ignoring the unsettling feelings things like this might implicate, this wouldn't be good for her in other aspects either. For one, it's previously established that humans cannot eat food (nor drink water) from [=ChalkZone=]. Unless Skrawl allowed her to take eating/sleeping breaks in the real world, she will most likely starve to death as the Chalk Queen. Another issue that arises from this is the fact that Penny's Chalk Queen antics nearly led to Snap burning alive in the volcanic salsa. And we know he would have burned to death--just ask her taster. Literally the only reason he didn't was because Rudy poured milk he drew into the salsa, neutralizing the acid. He had to act fast--on his last stub of chalk, no less! If he DIDN'T act as fast as he did, Snap very well could have died. Penny and Snap often butt heads with each other, but how do you think the former would feel about the latter's life being put at risk? The fact that [[spoiler: she was faking all of this]] does little to soften the blow.

* The music video "Please Let Me In" adds some fridge horror when you realize it's going to rain. Water is fatal to Snap, so if someone doesn't let him in he'll literally DIE.

!! Fridge Logic
* Penny chastises Rudy for using a chalk-created machine as a science fair submission, as if he's cheating. But is he really? In this fictional universe, why wouldn't chalk magic count as science? It's a natural phenomenon that makes his machine work. Maybe it's not what you first think of as "science", and maybe it's not a field of science many people know about, but it's still science. If anything, Rudy is doing the opposite of cheating, by submitting something that really, legitimately is an extremely impressive application of science, and passing it off as something much ''less'' spectacular.
** If you take into account that, since Rudy is the ''only one'' with access to chalk magic(which no one else even knows about), Penny likely believed that he had an unfair advantage and she was also mad that Rudy ''took advantage'' of the very world he swore to protect, all just to avoid failing to turn in a project that he should have done in the first place.

Removing unnecessary pothole. Just getting angry is not a berserk button.


* In the beginning of Poison Pen Letter, Rudy is angry that Michelle Norwegiano didn't invite him to her party. Notice how, though [[BerserkButton clearly pissed]], he doesn't take any action against her. Then he hears Penny wasn't invited either, prompting him to write the titular Poison Pen Letter. He's taking action not after he was wronged, but after his friend was wronged. He even says "I've had it" shortly after hearing Penny wasn't invited. [[spoiler: It turns out they were invited after all, but still.]]
