* BigNameFan: Cartoonist Charles Brubaker (author of ''Webcomic/TheFuzzyPrincess'' and ''Webcomic/AskACat'') has been crucial in rescuing the comic from near-total obscurity, having personally interviewed Kevin [=McCormick=] and compiled a book of the ''Arnold'' strips.
* FridgeHorror: Arnold getting carried off by a bird is darkly humorous, until you think about Tommy's "what do am I supposed do now?" Who else does a guy like Tommy have?
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The strip was very popular in Detroit, where it was published in ''Free Press'' until the very end.
