* RealDreamsAreWeirder: Felix has some ''weird'' dreams. One was about some weasels jumping in 'barley butter', which for some reason was a menace to some biscuits. In another one, he didn't want his brain to be pickled because he needed it for a ball.

* ConversationHog: Kestrel comes home to find the pregnant Shannon ranting about the multiple things which have her stressed out; but before Kestrel is able to say a word, Shannon diverts herself with a completely different train of thought and then thanks Kestrel for cheering her up before leaving the room. Kestrel is left wondering what on earth just happened.

* AmicableExes: Kestrel and Felix, although a lengthy flashback arc shows that it took them a ''long'' time to reach that point.



* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: In one stand-alone strip, Kestrel brings home a fiber optic Christmas tree and, when Shannon questions it, points out that "it keeps Felix entertained for hours!" Sure enough, Felix stands in front of the tree saying "Shinyyyyy," prompting his wife to acknowledge that this could be useful.
* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:The comic's final arc is about Shannon's pregnancy.]]



* BookEnds: The first and last strips both feature Kestrel making pancakes.



* HowWeGotHere: Kestrel's {{Flashback}} to how she, Shannon, and Felix got where they are -- which included a Flashback-''within''-a-Flashback.



* GoodParents: Kestrel, in one of the flashbacks to before the strip, insists that Shannon is this when she gives up custody of her son Joshua. She knows that her ex-husband can give the little boy a much better life than she can afford to do as a single mother, so even though it completely ''destroys'' her, she signs away her parental rights.



* HowWeGotHere: Kestrel's {{Flashback}} to how she, Shannon, and Felix got where they are -- which included a Flashback-''within''-a-Flashback.



* KnightTemplarBigBrother: Kestrel accidentally runs afoul of one of these while working at the toy store, as he misinterprets her comment about his little brother as criticism. When he finds out that she's actually his brother's favorite coworker and meant no harm by the remark, he takes her to dinner as an apology.



* OnlySixFaces: Possibly why the art on Punch An Pie is done by another artist- most of the female characters had identical faces with different hair. Their boss Dawna looked like all the other females, until Punch An Pie revealed that she was older and much heavier.
