6	!!This comic provides examples of:
7	* BackAlleyDoctor - Well, he doesn't seem to be running an overtly shady business, but Johnny's doctor certainly nails the "incompetent" part of this.
8	* BeatPanel - Used frequently.
9	* BodyHorror - Some of the doctors more...''creative'' diagnosis fall into this category.
10	* CanineCompanion - Johny's dog Lance is with him ''all the time'', as a side-effect of the strip's [[CutAndPasteComic Cut-and-Paste nature]].
11	* CuteAndPsycho - Hinted at with the little girl with the [[CompanionCube toy duck]].
12	-->'''Girl''': I don't have any parents. I'm an orphan.
13	-->'''Johnny''': I'm sorry. What happened to them?
14	-->'''Girl''': [[SelfMadeOrphan They asked too many questions.]].
15	* TheDiseaseThatShallNotBeNamed - We never learn what exactly Johnny's ''got''. We just know that it's terrible.

17	* KickTheDog - Most of the girl with leg braces dialogue.
18	** TheDogBitesBack - occasionaly

20	--->'''Johnny''': Yeah...[[StealthPun your legs]].
21	* LittlestCancerPatient - PlayedForLaughs
22	* ManiacMonkeys - Johnny receives a "helper monkey" in an early strip that looks and acts more like some kind of goblin].

24	* WorldOfPun - A good chunk of the strips are pun-heavy.
