2* BilingualBonus: In the [[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=342 Medieval Film]], one character is called "Jacques de la Chapeau", which means "Jack the Hat".[[note]]There was a London gangster called Jack 'The Hat' [=McVitie=], who was one of the two confirmed victims of the notorious LondonGangster siblings the Kray Brothers, but this might not be an intentional ShoutOut.[[/note]] There's also "Jean-Louis de FenĂȘtre" (Jean-Louis the Window) and "Jean Luc Le Beurre" (Jean Luc the Butter.)
3%%* Crazy Awesome: "[[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=300 ... And the wingspan of an ALBATROSS!]]"

6''[Cue WTF face]''\
7'''Peasant:''' Someone ask if she's laughing.
8* EnsembleDarkHorse: Fat Pony, who has become the most requested character. Also, the Mystery Solving Teens.
9* HilariousInHindsight:
10** Ms. Beaton mentioned that a lot of fans drew a comparison between the "WWII Hunks" comic and ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger''.
11** The "Mystery Solving Teens" bear a resemblance to Mike and Chuck from ''WesternAnimation/{{Motorcity}}'', even though they predate the show.
12* MemeticMutation:
13** Pissed-off Poe has become a relatively popular reaction image for them ImageBoards.
14** Also, "Jam!" within ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'' fandom.
15** The Joyce comic bobbles up and down in popularity as /lit/'s mascot.
16** There are ''countless'' "[[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=120 Oooh Mr/Mrs X]]: A Fanfiction" edits.
17** Some enterprising individual did a [[http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/122799-ooh-mister-x WatsonxJam]] "Ooh, Mr. X: A Fanfiction".
18** [[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=326 "Aw yiss. Motha. Fuckin. Bread crumbs."]]
19** "[[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=259 What baby?]]"
20*** "Old as ''balls''" has been adopted as a punchline for many jokes.
21** [[http://harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=309 I had fun once and it was awful]]
22** [[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=176 "Then I will sit here consumed with lust for the rest of the evening."]]
23** [[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=281 "Twenty years we've known each other and now you don't wanna see me jump outta da cake. You insult me."]]
24** [[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=327 NEMESIS]]
25** [[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=311 SEXISM IS OVER]]
26* TearJerker:
27** [[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=232 This interaction]] between Kate Beaton and her younger self. Becomes even worse after you've read Kate's autobiographical ''ComicBook/DucksTwoYearsInTheOilSands'' and realize [[SadClown this silly comic started on the heels of a grueling and at times horrific job in Alberta's oil sands]].
28** The strip with Marat can be seen as this for his innocence.
29** The [[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=7 strip about Henry II and Thomas Becket]]. To put it in Beaton's own words, it might be the saddest thing ever.
30** [[http://www.harkavagrant.com/loss.png This strip]] about the death of a young man in Beaton's hometown is very poignant.
31** [[http://harkavagrant.com/mothersdaycomic.png Kate's mother's day comic]] about her mother taking her to see a local artist in an attempt to get a sponsorship for art school, only for the artist [[AnimationAgeGhetto to be an elitist twat who has a low opinion of "comics"]], which leaves Kate in tears afterwards. Luckily, her mother's heartwarming affirmation that what the artist said was wrong and her dad's [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments sage advice]] serve as a TearDryer.
