* ND's commentary at the bottom of each page is, as a general rule, hilarious. It ranges from yelling at Nimona's antics, to anticipating the readers' confusion, to observations on how Goldenloin "runs like an idiot".
** Similarly, the comments section is a gold mine.
* I'm not a kid.
** [[spoiler: '''I'M A SHARK''']]
** [[https://web.archive.org/web/20140905190340/http://gingerhaze.com/nimona/comic/nimona-chapter-3-page-11 And soon after...]]
* Goldenloin's very first line onscreen:
--> '''Goldenloin:''' HALT, YOU VILLAINS! ''UNHAND THAT SCIENCE!''
* Nimona's idea of restraint: Transforming into a cat and jumping from a table to Ballister's head to the top of the fridge with a soda can in her mouth.
* While listening to Nimona's tragic backstory, Ballister gets hung up on the witch' problem-solving methods.
--> '''Nimona:''' The spell was slippery. She wasn't a very good witch.
--> '''Ballister:''' Well, I'd guessed that much from her brilliant plan of "get out of the hole by turning the six-year-old into a dragon".
--> '''Nimona:''' Will you please shut up about that?
** [[spoiler: This becomes even funnier - in a decidedly morbid way - when you read it again with the knowledge that Nimona made that story up. To her, Ballister wasn't just interrupting, he was criticizing her storytelling skills.]]
* On ordering pizza:
--> '''Nimona:''' C'mooon, there's NOTHING edible in your fridge.
--> '''Ballister:''' There are some genetically modified anchovies in the -
--> '''Nimona: NO.'''
* [[BrickJoke Later, they really do order one.]]
-->'''Ballister''': Any particular toppings you want?
-->'''Nimona''': Nah, you pick
-->'''Ballister''': Sardines it is, then.
-->'''Nimona''': Don't you DARE put sardines on that pizza
* Goldenloin's excuse for not telling the Director that the kingdom's most infamous supervillain had hired a shapeshifter: "It's only a little one."
* Nimona almost crushes Ballister's metal arm when he brings up "running some tests" on her powers. She then turns away, glaring, and gets distracted ''immediately'':
--> '''Nimona:''' Ooh, what's that? Does it KILL PEOPLE? ''CAN I TRY IT?''
* Nimona sneaks into the Institution news station, impersonates an anchorwoman and exposes the jaderoot plot on live television... and then just keeps talking.
--> '''Anchor!Nimona:''' Coming up next, an exposé on Sir Goldenloin's codpiece! What's he hiding under there? Does he really expect us to believe that his junk is THAT impressive?
* [[https://web.archive.org/web/20131003103927/http://gingerhaze.com/nimona/comic/nimona-chapter-5-page-17 Nimona and Ballister watch a zombie movie.]] Ballister is completely confused that ''Nimona'' [[BloodKnight of all people]] is the one that hates scary movies.
** While they're watching, Ballister, in true MadScientist fashion, keeps pointing out plot holes in the movie. He says that zombies are a completely inefficient minion, and not effective to boot, with the heavy implication that ''he's tried it before''.
* [[https://web.archive.org/web/20140528062343/http://gingerhaze.com/nimona/comic/nimona-chapter-6-page-3 I'M LEAVE!]]
* Nimona's adorable reaction to the question "How would you feel about robbing a bank?"
--> '''Nimona:''' POSITIVELY! I FEEL POSITIVELY ABOUT ROBBING A BANK!
** TheRant: "Bank robbery! NOW it's a party!"
* [[https://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20140716115126/http://gingerhaze.com/nimona/comic/nimona-christmas-special Nimona Christmas Special]] is both this and a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}. "Did you nail my socks to the fireplace?"
* Ballister and Nimona yelling over each other while he tries to carry her to the lab to treat her bleeding leg.
* "You're gonna need to put on this fake beard."
*
--> '''Ballister:''' You know what would be REALLY helpful?\\
'''Ballister:''' IF YOU WERE ANYTHING OTHER THAN A CAT RIGHT NOW.
** Even better, a little kid walks into the tent and calls, "Ma! There's a crazy old hobo here talking to a cat!" And Ballister actually tries to explain himself.
* A number of the signs at the science fair, which include "ROBOT FIGHT" and "DANGEROUS LASER LIGHT SHOW".
* The revelation that knights choose their own names... which means "Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin" ''picked out that name for himself.'' There's also a Sir Mansley Girthrod, meaning half of the known knights in the comic deliberately made themselves sound like porn stars.
** It's been suggested he meant to name himself "Golden''lion''", but someone misspelled it. Whoops.
* There's one last funny moment before a long stretch of fairly heartbreaking scenes, and it's a gem. After being caught by the guards, Ballister resorts to [[{{Troll}} screwing with Goldie's head]]:
--> '''Goldenloin:''' Not so clever after all, are you? You thought you were setting a trap for us, but all along it was a trap for you!
--> '''Ballister:''' Ah well, you got me. Good job.
--> '''Goldenloin:''' ...We DID get you.
--> '''Ballister:''' You did. You've done very well.
--> '''Goldenloin:''' Is this another trap?
--> '''Ballister:''' ''(with a hilarious smile on his face)'' I just want you to feel proud of yourself!

[[folder:Gay Dads AU]]
A non-canonical AlternateUniverse written by ND himself where Ballister & Ambrosius live in our world, get married, and adopt a human child version of Nimona...who is no less of a gremlin than she is in canon. Most of these revolve around Ballister being the supportive dad, while Ambrosius is generally weirded out by Nimona's antics, but is trying to get his child to like him.
* Nimona is in a cat onesie, batting at Ambrosius' face while he tries to hold her:
-->'''Ambrosius:''' BALLISTERRR!
-->'''Nimona:''' Meow meow meow
-->'''Ballister (offscreen):''' She's being a cat
* Nimona is sleeping in a room that's entirely ''{{Film/Jaws}}'' themed:
-->'''Ambrosius:''' Why did you have to get us such a WEIRD baby
-->'''Ballister:''' She likes sharks! I bet she grows up to be a marine biologist
* Ambrosius trying to give Nimona a bath and her getting him entirely soaked while pretending to be a shark.
* Ballister carrying Nimona on his chest while she hisses at people.
* Nimona is apparently the type of kid who chews the head off her Barbies.
* Nimona standing in a corner, looking menacingly at Ambrosius.
* Nimona plays favorites:
-->'''Ballister:''' Say Ballister!
-->'''Nimona:''' Ba!
-->'''Ambrosius:''' Say Ambrosius!
-->'''Nimona:''' NO
* Nimona draws a picture of her and Ballister holding hands...while Ambrosius falls off a cliff.
-->'''Ambrosius:''' You didn't have to hang it on the fridge
-->'''Ballister:''' What an artist!
* Nimona chasing Ambrosius in her baby walker down a hall.
* Ambrosius waking up from an "exhausted parent nap" to find a sleeping baby Nimona on his chest. She then proceeds to sleep for another several hours, with Ambrosius too afraid to move in fear of waking her.
* Ambrosius playing the "cool dad" card by teaching Nimona the f-word, much to Ballister's chagrin.
