* BizarroEpisode: Every year for Kwanzaa, the strip runs a two-week-long StoryArc that involves new, made-up characters doing absolutely ridiculous things that resemble African folktales, with little concern for anything other than being awesomely over-the-top, often toeing the line between RuleOfCool and an outright MindScrew. Past arcs have included [[http://joshreads.com/images/07/01/i070102curtis.jpg a golden, telepathic otter and a magic sandal]] and [[http://joshreads.com/images/0601/i060109curtis.jpg bat-winged bears]], among others.

A LOT of classical animators have been laid of Disney in the last couple of years, in favor of CG. Granted, blaming Pixar per se is wrong, since Pixar\'s John Lasseter is actually 2D animation\'s biggest promoter at Disney these days; but \"Pixar\" is pretty good shorthand for \"Disney CG\" in the minds of the public.

* CriticalResearchFailure: One story has a butcher that used to be a Disney animator who was laid off. The reason for said layoff was ''Pixar'', which if you know anything about how Disney and Pixar work, is completely untrue.

* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents, GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Subverted on both counts in a series of strips where Curtis and Barry find an unmarked videotape belonging to their parents. It is implied in one panel that [[spoiler: it's a sex tape.]] However, it turns out that it's [[spoiler: an old episode of SoulTrain that their parents appeared on, which also serves as the "how they met" story for Diane and Greg.]] After watching the tape, Curtis and Barry have a newfound respect for their parents, i.e. that their parents actually did something "cool" in their eyes.
