Those were all jokes that get later entries explaining that they weren\'t what they seemed.
* AmbiguousGender: Jack's gender is pretty vague and there are special pages that at first make him seem like a girl and then the next chapter somehow undoes whatever the last one said. For example, page one might be about a couple paragraphs about hiding her true sex and worrying people will find out and then the response to that is that Jack, half asleep, had been simply writing down what he saw on TV last night. That said, it's never proven that Jack ''is'' a guy.
