Fridge / EC Comics

• Fridge Horror:
  • The whole premise of the Anvilicious EC Comics story Judgment Day, when you think about it. The story is about robots who are divided between those with orange and blue casings, with the orange robots treating the blue robots as second class citizens, even though the only physical difference are the casings. It is established that the robots have not changed their physical construction at all - but they have altered their programming, and the construction process itself. The orange robots are assembled in a bright, well-equiped, and well-maintained factory and uploaded with the most up-to-date and extensive knowledge of their science and culture possible. At the blue robot's factory, on the other hand, we see robots doing their best to assemble robots in a dingy factory with worn tools and a clearly damaged Educator that "hasn't the advantages of the 'orange' educator". That is, the discrimination against blue robots begins even before their "birth", and is further entrenched by a visibly broken education system that ensures they are always at a disadvantage to the orange robots.
  • In "And All Through The House", the radio announcer specifically points out that the killer won't hurt children. He may not hurt her, but...she's about to watch her mother get slaughtered by Santa Claus. What's that going to do to her mind?
• Fridge Brilliance: In the comic story "While the Cat's Away", the Crypt Keeper uses the alias T. Charles Kingman. The initials are the beginning letters of his usual moniker.
