* Frosty Pete -- the ''original'' Frosty Pete -- didn't have anywhere near as much exposure to Hicks's InUniverse CanonDefilement as everyone else, and he spent most of the story's events not even in the toon world. Chances are he has no idea how thoroughly his home world is being destroyed.
* [[spoiler:Timmy Crow]] coming back with the rather flimsy explanation of the body having been misidentified [[VoodooShark raises more questions than it answers]]. Where was he if it was actually the case? Who is it that was buried? ''Is'' it actually the case, or did Hicks do an InUniverse RetCon and resurrect him for the sole purpose of torturing him a little longer? With the amount of power he has, his invoking DeathIsCheap is more a likelihood than a mere possibility. And if that's the case, [[FateWorseThanDeath there's absolutely no escape. For anyone.]]

** How could Pete-in-Hicks'-body have a "creepy MelBlanc voice", as stated by the real life policeman in the end, if he never was an animated character to begin with?

*** Well, to be fair, breaking the fourth wall was done in old cartoons, too.



*** Likely just a rule of the art style. If they're talking in the real world, they're going to have a voice. So, something like that would logically have that sort of voice.



*** It wouldn't be out of character for Troy to simply be a nihilist; even if there is a higher power or afterlife, he's just convinced himself there isn't as part of his warped viewpoint of the world.

* FridgeHorror: Consider that someone like Dr. Despicable has been operating for a long time despite his corrupt and horrific activities. Out of the many characters victimized and killed in-story, he's still out there and is last seen making a horrific bet with another corrupt doctor. The latter fact brings up more Fridge Horror in just wondering how many other messed up people are present within the ''Funnies'' world.
** Hicks/Frosty Pete has a nasty habit of pulling off NothingIsScarier which leads to this. He is shown walking off with one of Timmy's friends with the implication that he murdered the child. At the end of the comic, he is seen walking off with Sally Gator's new baby...
** Consider this. Moe the Crow not only had his family leave him but now also will suffer from AIDS due to being (presumably) raped by that bulldog in jail. [[{{Tearjerker}} If Moe is still alive by the end of the comic's story, he'll also have to deal with the fact that his family was massacred.]]
* FridgeLogic: If Troy Hicks is in the cartoon world, is he still writing the comic? Can't the cartoon character he replaced write himself back into the comic? Did everything just end when the comic ended or did it keep going?

** And here's the biggest one: Troy explains that one of the reasons he wants to escape his execution by going into the comic world is because there's no afterlife. However, he does everything by using occult magic (that's highly hinted at to be Satanic in nature). So Troy uses magic that almost certainly is granted by some kind of higher power to escape the NothingAfterDeath. ...How do these two work in conjunction?!
