1* BellisariosMaxim: Jenner has stated (paraphrasing) that he's more interested in telling evocative stories rather than hashing out details such as how exactly the law works in regards to hunting and not to worry too much about inconsistencies.
2* GeniusBonus: In addition to a lot of actual medical information strewn about the comic ([[WriteWhatYouKnow Jenner is an actual doctor, after all]]), there are also things like character names based on real-world taxonomy, or Katherine's rather meaningful choice of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypatia Hypatia]] as her online handle.
3* HilariousInHindsight: Jenner drew a strip showing a version of ''Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs'' where the Big Bad Wolf used an inhaler before taking on the Third Pig's brick house. This was in 2008, a full six years before [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drCWcLnWGP8 an advertisement for COPD medication Symbicort]] showed The Big Bad Wolf getting prescribed the medication.
4* MoralEventHorizon: At first, [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent Neal the snake]] merely wanted food, with respect for the law but no regard for who else would suffer in the process. [[spoiler: Ben convinced him to try fast food, which was so addictive and unhealthful that Neal nearly killed himself. After that, he made a point to lose enough weight for a predatory RoaringRampageOfRevenge -- planning to eat [[MisplacedRetribution not Ben]] but [[DisproportionateRetribution the entire family of his first intended prey]].]]
