History YMMV / AGirlAndHerFed

* HarsherInHindsight: Clarice's plan to use mumps to reduce the population of the world by a significant factor -- a disease which would largely lay waste to lower-income, disabled, and third-world populations -- is already villainous enough, but the rise of the COVID-19 plague in 2019/2020 in real life has made it a much more realistically horrifying goal.

* HilariousInHindsight: [[http://www.agirlandherfed.com/1.1264.html 9/13/14.]] When Clarisse goes headhunting for a political ally, she says, "I need someone who's part of a living legacy. Also someone who's not related to a dead president or senator." Her target suggests UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump -- "Household name, started his own dynasty..." -- but she says, "[[EvenEvilHasStandards I have standards]]." Well, apparently the standards of a CardCarryingVillain who plans on murdering a majority percentage of the world so she'll be a powerful ghost when she dies are higher than half of America's.

* OneOfUs: An in-universe example, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln has spent most of the last two decades on the internet, and in particular, loves TV Tropes, [[http://www.agirlandherfed.com/1.1425.html posting under the name Abe-1809.]] Based on her reaction to that revelation (particularly including the AltText), Mare also is one. Later, he describes the concept of tropes to an elderly Japanese woman. [[http://www.agirlandherfed.com/1.1464.html She responds with another common internet meme . . . .]]

* GeniusBonus: There are a lot of historical references in the strip, as might be expected when you have Creator/BenjaminFranklin as a primary character. One which actually gets missed a lot, though, is that Ben previously helped two people. The first, listed earlier on, was AbrahamLincoln - another is not expressly named until much later, but turns out to be Edward Murrow, a philanthropist and war reporter who made his name in 1930 and later would be an incredibly powerful reporter during the RedScare.

* StopHelpingMe: Bitty Bush. Played horribly, nightmarishly straight.

* JerkSue: The girl is getting close. Lessee: filthy rich, tells everyone to piss off like the author wishes she could, master martial artist, has an unique {{spirit advisor}} friend despite being an anonymous loner, [[spoiler:helps the Fed get over 5 years of brainwashing, whips a cyborg's arse like an ornery mule, is currently developing empathic/precognitive powers that let her ''dodge bullets'', can fly with the help of the ghosts]] and has a {{cool car}}. If this were a D&D campaign, the DM would be trying to convince her to put some advantages back. The only things stopping her from dominating the story is that she's a) still relatively grounded; b) her Fed is even more overpowered; c) [[spoiler:they're alone against the government]].
** d) It's been suggested more than once that Ben's intervention is the only thing that's kept her out of jail for her antics.
** Averted more recently, when she said she feels she never earned any of her powers except martial arts, and is dialing back on using them and instead becoming a doctor.
