6!!Examples:
7* BlackComedy: Just one thing: The name "Sylvia Silicosis" she used for herself? It was based on the fact that she had silicosis as a result of her own life choices.
8%% * ButchLesbian: Several in the "Terry Chop-Part" story.
9* ComicSutra: Two of her works feature a foursome which look... difficult.
10* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: In one story about hell. Creator/JohnBelushi has to make UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler, the Creator/MarquisDeSade and Albert Fish laugh. Creator/JohnWayne is married to Creator/OscarWilde. And [[Film/TheThreeStooges Moe Howard]] is forced to watch ''Film/MyDinnerWithAndre'' forever.
11* {{Dominatrix}}:
12** Hired by one curious guy. He gets literally addicted to this kind of sex, but then they have a row, and he decides to - date a gay guy, despite never having had any gay tendencies. And then, he likes it. Not sure whether this makes sense...
13** And another story is about a woman who's a poor, suppressed employee by day and this by night. For the very boss who commands and punishes her during the day.
14* DrosteImage: On the cover of her ''Lonely Nights: Comics to read if the couple next door is fucking too loud''. It shows the author with one of her comic books, and so on.
15* GoodAngelBadAngel: With the devil wearing a leather [[OfCorsetsSexy corset]] and stockings.
16* MudWrestling: Subverted by her mudwrestling story. It's all about her talking with a guy about making a comic about mudwrestling, but she admits at the end that she doesn't know a single thing about it.
17* PhotoComic: She also made several of them, appearing in them as "Sylvia Silicosis".
18%% * ReallyGetsAround
19* RageAgainstTheAuthor: In one of her comics, her characters rebel against the way the story goes (it involves her Dori's stinky dog) and even leave the drawing paper at the end. Dori accepts and warns them of her cat (who's bigger than the characters) on the way out.
20* SmokingHotSex: After sex, people sometimes are depicted with smoking genitals.
21%% * StarvingArtist
22%% * TakeOurWordForIt: The stink of Tona
23* AThreesomeIsHot: Actually, no threesomes in her work, but two foursomes (two men and two women each)
24%% * {{Transvestite}}: A friend of her, who appears in many stories.
25* VisualPun: She made a cartoon about "cereal killers" and another one about bishop Tutu [[DontExplainTheJoke wearing a tutu]].
26* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Her buddy Joe O. suggested her to draw another CAUP comic, where UsefulNotes/SigmundFreud in hell has to psychoanalyze Harpo Marx - who stays in character all the time.
27* WriteWhoYouKnow: Most of her stories even feature her as the main character and she's a known bon vivant who enjoyed drinking, smoking, taking drugs, and casual kinky sex.
