** "Oh, That Helen!", a one-off, out-of-continuity CrossOver with ''SomethingPositive'', drawn ''and'' written by Randy Milholland, has Davan [=MacIntire=] [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech tell off]] Helen over [=IRC=] for her self-pity, following which a sexually predatory "Redneck Tree" (a ''SomethingPositive'' RunningGag) comforts her and suggests they [[BlackComedy meet in person]].

This interlude, featuring art by Jason Waltrip, is a CrossOver with Campbell's webcomic ''{{Fans}}'', featuring AlternateUniverse (specifically, ''Fans'' universe) counterparts of ''Penny and Aggie'' characters. In this world, as a brief narrative prologue explains, the rise to prominence of "geek super-soldiers" (i.e., the quasi-governmental paranormal threat agency [=AEGIS=] and its Team Alpha response unit) has moved [=SF=]/fantasy enthusiasts to the top of the teenage social ladder. Nevertheless, other sorts of teenagers can still feel out of place.

** A ''Penny and Aggie''-themed CrosswordPuzzle, which became an annual tradition for both this webcomic and ''{{Fans}}''.

Team Alpha members Laura, Shannon and Di arrive on the scene and speak to Charlotte, ostensibly to talk sense into her, while surreptitiously using their laser guns to seal her and the demons within a pentagram and circle. Di, a headstrong, over-eager junior team member, charges toward Charlotte in order to subdue her. Shannon saves Di from certain injury ("It's hell-degrees Fahrenheit in there") by shooting her in the leg before she can enter the circle. Di isn't particularly grateful.
