* FanService: The bathing scene in "the Black Kimono".
** Believe it or not, but the published version - already way more explicit than most kids' comics can get away with - is actually toned down from the original version. The collectors' edition of the comics includes the original black and white drawing, with a woman's exposed rear clearly visible. The published version sticks a bunch of flowers in front of her buttocks.

* ViewersAreGoldfish: At least once per album, Douwe reminds the reader that his knapsack is magical, and always contains whatever he needs.
