** [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1031 This page]] might be one to ''TheLordOfTheRings'': Sam unhesitatingly grabs Frodo's hand when he's in the "hospital" in front of all their friends (it was kind of a big deal while filming the movie) while Kat hesitates to hold Annie's hand despite (or perhaps because of) the only people around being [[OfficialCouple Robot, Shadow 2,]] and [[ShipperOnDeck Reynardine]].

** In the commentary of [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=749 this page]], Tom says the train is nicknamed "[[TheDarkTower Blaine]]".

** Winsbury is also from a folk song ("Willie O' Winsbury"), but not a Rusby one (she sings a variant called "John Barbury"). In the song, Willie is in a relationship with the king's daughter, Janet, much to the king's displeasure. Replace "king" with "headmaster" and ... yeah.

* Tom called Lily "[[SesameStreet Cookie Monster]]" when he named her in a tweet. She also shares his color scheme and seemingly has toned-down mannerisms and speech patters of Cookie Monster. She might be also a reference to another PerkyGoth GenkiGirl with much the same colour scheme, perpetual crazy smile and lack of inhibitions in the ''L.A.W.L.S.'' comic.

* From ''Chapter 7: Of New And Old'':
** The long bridge and [[spoiler: Antimony falling off it]].

** [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1033 This page]] might be a callback to "The Coward Heart" wherein an ethereal being sees someone's inner thoughts and gets annoyed at how petty they're being [[spoiler: specifically Jeanne, whose lover was killed, is angry that Parley hid her feelings for Smitty while Zimmy, who can only be friends safely with Gamma, is amused that Kat, who has loads of friends (not to mention family), fears people will think she's gay and weird because she's so close to Annie]].

* Another piece of artwork has Kat and Annie dressed as [[{{Psychonauts}} Raz and Lili]].

** Annie, ("Awkward Annie") Sir Eglamore, ("Sir Eglamore") the Annan Waters ("Annan Waters") and Janet Llanwellyn, ("The Maid of Llanwellyn") all take their inspiration from several of her songs.

* From ''Chapter 35: Parley and Smitty Are In This One'':
** Now that we enjoyed the brief appearance of Lily Cooke a.k.a. Cookie Monster? You can call it a weird coincidence if you want, but search for "Autumn" and "the Cookie Monster" together ([[{{NSFW}} unless you're at work]] or something) to see another [[PerkyGoth funny girl with much the same colour scheme]], perpetual crazy smile and lack of inhibitions from ''L.A.W.L.S.'' comic.
