1	* AccidentalAesop: WordOfGod is that the "Frank Tangent" was meant to be PlayedForLaughs, but a ''lot'' of readers commented on [[WhatMeasureIsAMook how poignant it was]].
2	* CargoShip: With the gravity gun.
3	--> '''Frohman:''' Whoa! I guess I actually went ''completely'' nuts with it. Just hope the next guy to use it doesn't see my lip-prints all over it.
4	* CrossesTheLineTwice: ''Loads'' of the humor in this comic is so juvenile/bizarre/offensive that it spins right around and becomes legitimately hilarious again.
5	* HilariousInHindsight: In one set of notes, the author bemoans the Mets' loss to the St. Louis Cardinals but figures that they'll probably get steamrolled by the Detroit Tigers anyway. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_world_series Not quite...]]
6	** In [[http://www.screencuisine.net/hlcomic/index.php?date=2006-02-15 this strip]], in which Frohman [[IJustShotMarvinInTheFace accidentally teamkills a CSS player while buying weapons]], Chris notes that "I wrote and posed this comic last week, before our Vice President wounded an old man by shooting him in the face. Just a coincidence."
7	** The notes for [[http://www.screencuisine.net/hlcomic/index.php?date=2006-07-14 #171]], posted in July 2006, call attention to the then-recent announcement of ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' shipping alongside ''Half-Life 2: Episode Two'', after which Chris states "I'm gonna go out on a pessimistic limb and say we're not gonna see Episode 2 until '07." Sure enough, two of the very last blog posts on the comic's original site before Chris moved on to 1fort confirmed delays to [[https://web.archive.org/web/20070528172722/http://www.hlcomic.com/extras/?p=186 summer]] and then [[https://web.archive.org/web/20070528172722/http://www.hlcomic.com/extras/?p=197 fall]] of 2007.
8	** The first time Frohman enters a CSS server, many players proposed to Valve to bring the chickens back to Italy. In ''Counter Strike: Global Offensive'', the chickens return, and are better than ever (ie appear in more maps and are more dynamic props).
9	** One of Dr. Breen's final scenes has him noting that Freeman hopefully thinks that he's "now in the body of a giant slug or something" (referencing the Combine Advisors). In "Epistle 3" (Mark Laidlaw's leaked outline for the never-developed ''Half-Life 2: Episode 3''), [[spoiler:Dr. Breen really ''does'' have his mind uploaded into a Combine Advisor's body]].
10	* HesJustHiding: Despite ''reading the title'', many loyal readers were outraged and in denial once poor Frohman finally got offed to the point that ''Concerned 2'', an unofficial sequel, revealed that Frohman was brought {{Back From the Dead}} by simply re-loading from the last checkpoint.
