2	* [[http://www.alopex.li/mirrors/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus/minus/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus47.html In this strip]] minus says that she doesn't think there's an afterlife, to which the man she's talking to says that there "Must be one." After a moment, minus asks him if he wants to go see it. MINUS CREATED THE AFTERLIFE RIGHT THEN AND THERE!
3	** And the fact that she doesn't originally think the afterlife exists, despite having interacted with ghosts before this, is not a PlotHole. She's answering the man's ExactWords, that she doesn't think that spirits live in ''a separate plane'' from humans.
4	* Why did the white-haired girl think that hitting minus on the head with a rock was a good idea to get her back to normal? Because she had already seen [[https://alopex.li/mirrors/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus/minus/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus65.html minus get hit by a rock before]], with no ill effects.

7	* A few of the strips will get you, but inparticular the [[http://www.alopex.li/mirrors/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus/minus/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus106.html faceless man in red shoving minus into a briefcase]], only to dump her back out ''wrong'' can become very unsettling if thought about too much.
8	* The ending. Good ''God'', the ending... At least [[spoiler:the humans were able to live in the spirit world, but Earth was in shambles for all of this time before being reconstructed into a theme park. Even then, everything seems so ''empty'', since no humans, except for Larry, are left on the planet, with the only others being part of a simulation in the theme park.]]
9	* [[http://www.alopex.li/mirrors/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus/minus/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus80.html This]] strip reveals that minus does not have complete control of her powers. (She made her puppy bigger instead of smaller by mistake.) This alone should be cause for concern, as if small and trivial things can go differently from how she intends them, who knows how many more serious problems have arisen from her powers without her knowing it?
10	** We get to see many of those problems throughout the comic, firsthand.
11	* The darkest strip in the whole comic is probably [[http://www.alopex.li/mirrors/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus/minus/www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus127.html this]] one, since it rather heavily implies that minus's VictimOfTheWeek is DrivenToSuicide. And he's a ''child'', at that. [[NothingIsScarier The comic ends with white space at the bottom, and no panels.]]
12	* The balloon seller's fate. Being turned into a balloon and popping is actually a pretty gruesome death if you think about it. Also, does it not mean minus basically murdered the guy whose only fault was selling the odd defective product and (justifiably) getting angry when minus popped he rest? DisproportionateRetribution indeed!
