However, the authors couldn't think of anything, so the placeholder was kept in the final version of the strip.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Concerns about whether the use of a default Discord profile picture to represent Dandan would go against intellectual property laws led to the comic being [[OrwellianRetcon replaced]] with a version where Dandan is instead shown as a capital sigma (Σ), a symbol which is thankfully public domain.

** The Most Beautiful Stickman is also [[SoBeautifulItsACurse frequently subject to catcalling]].
