* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Quite a few of the religious strips actually managed to be touching rather than pretentious. For example; two ants are sitting on the ground when one asks the other if he would be willing to die for her. He answers yes. She asks if he would still die for her if she hadn't been born yet, which he thinks is "asking an awful lot from a guy." She answers, "Some guys"... And we zoom back to see that they're sitting on a cross.

* {{Anvilicious}}: Many of Hart's post-conversion strips made his fundamental Christian values extremely well-known to the reader. In addition to some of the more notorious ones (e.g. the "menorah turning into a cross" Easter 2001 strip), there's also [[https://www.gocomics.com/bc/2006/12/24 this]] unsubtle "war on Christmas" reference from 2006.

* {{Woolseyism}}: The Swedish comic magazine ''Knasen'' used this approach to the Wiley's Dictionary strips; since the original strips rely on word puns that don't always work in Swedish and there aren't any visual clues, the translators either made up new and pretty creative ones in Swedish out of whole cloth or [[OfficialFanSubmittedContent occasionally used ideas from fan letters]]. This is especially notable as other comics featured in the same magazine (such as its namesake ''ComicStrip/BeetleBailey'') instead turned pun-dependent strips into English lessons, translating them mostly literally and leaving annotations explaining the double meanings that went missing.
