** In a story arc that started [[https://www.gocomics.com/crabgrass/2023/05/29 May 29, 2023]], Miles and Kevin become obsessed with a mysterious ice cream truck known as Old Jingles, that never stops for anyone. After a while they learn the truck is [[AutomatedAutomobiles driving itself]]. They get their hands on a harpoon build by Kyle when he too tried to stop the truck some years before, and team up with two kids named Benji and Kimmy from a neighboring street to chase Old Jingles with go karts.

[[https://www.gocomics.com/crabgrass/2023/08/01 An epilogue]] then implies the truck is secretly being driven by Squirrels somehow, but otherwise the nature of Old Jingles is kept a RiddleForTheAges.

** The FreakyFridayFlip arc starting in february 2024, which ultimately leads to the conclusion that the substitute teacher who subjected Miles and Kevin to it was actually a goblin in disguise, and has done this several times before.
* BrokenBase: The Bizarro Episodes mentioned above, which are starting to become more the rule than the exception. Some readers like this new surreal take on the comic, while others believe the comic has strayed too far from it's more grounded SliceOfLife roots.
