Aside from some minor details being remembered wrong, the whole context of the scene is that Pearl wanted Angel to win a beauty contest so she'd out of the city on a year-long tour.


* [[HoYay Les Yay]]: The scene where Pearl corners Angel while trying to find clues for Gil. Pearl holds a knife up to Angel to intimidate her, before cutting open the top of Angel's already torn dress to show off her ample chest and cleavage. Pearl then smiles while staring wistfully and says, "That's better." This despite Angel being the [[BettyAndVeronica Betty to her Veronica]], except that Pearl is already with Gil.

* ValuesDissonance: In issue ten, a desert-dweller Gill meets while in self-imposed exile asks him, albeit indirectly, if he's a homosexual, [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/qXdgQGs5_nIFD9p0Xe6-kbd7PifyPIXtQ2iOxXptzrSjv8zaS4IMaVTcn1GhrHrzsU6vos4MdAOev6ZYjrw5GVBF0xQOQXgTDtMz2xQnjHF0gVN4mhHGpEr6GWcFJQGSOH6-QXrcww=s1600 to which he takes loud, disgusted exception]]. Just an issue later one of Gill's new pal's hulking fellow desert-dwellers voices his own assumption the detective is one of those "big-city queer-boys".

** Then there's the never-ending conveyor belt of fish-themed jokes, idioms, and puns. From the names of characters, to casual dialogue, there's always something that replaces otherwise normal conversation with a fish term, and it often sounds just plain odd. In particular is Angel's ShoutOut to [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Jessica Rabbit]] (who Angel is an {{Expy}} of), where she defends herself saying "I'm not bad, I just smell that way." Sure, fish being smelly is TruthInTelevision, but with the line coming from a smoking hot bombshell who's known for being lusted after (and possibly sleeping with) every guy in town, it comes off more as a gag about how women's privates can smell bad like fish at times.

* UncertainAudience: A common criticism of the show was that it didn't know if it wanted to appeal to kids or adults, since it was too inappropriate for children, but too much like a typical kids' show for adults.
