• Thorn successfully using Fone Bone as a weapon. Arguably doubles as a Crowning Moment Of Awesome.
• The revelation of just what The Hooded One's omen to go after Phoney was.
  • And Fone Bone's reaction.
  Fone Bone: After we save him, let's kill him.
• Smiley is the living embodiment of this trope. Especially in one particular chapter added to certain compilations in which him and Lucius fix Grandma Ben's roof.
• Phoney gets a five-page sequence in the third issue which are pretty much one Crowning Moment Of Funny after the other, starting with his famous "God, I pity me" speech, and then in rapid succession his first meetings with the Red Dragon, Ted the Bug and Gran'ma Ben.
• Every time the words "Stupid, stupid rat creatures" are uttered.
• Ted the Bug "helping" Smiley to pull Fone Bone out of the hole he's stuck in.
• The entirety of the Great Cow Race...especially when the Rat Creatures collide with the racing cows and come out of the woods with them. Not to mention flying past Gran'ma Ben when she wins the race.
• Gran'ma Ben telling Fone and Phoney to get some chickens prepared for dinner...
  Gran'ma Ben: I want you boys to catch yourselves four chickens! When Smiley's got that water nice an' hot, dip th' birds in it! I want every one of them feathers gone, so soak 'em good! I better be smellin' wet feathers back here! Foo! There's a smell you don't forget too quick!
  Fone Bone: Omygosh. We're gonna boil 'em alive?!
  Gran'ma Ben: Of course not, dear. You're gonna cut their heads off first.
  Phoney: With what?
  Gran'ma Ben: With th' hatchet.
  Phoney: Uh... Are they gonna... y'know... Run around the yard? Squirtin' blood an' stuff?
  Gran'ma Ben: What's th' matter? Ain't you boys ever choppped th' head off a chicken before?
  Phoney, Fone Bone: Uh... uh...
  Gran'ma Ben: Oh fer heaven's sakes! If ya can't handle a little flappin' around, just grab th' chicken by th' neck an' give her a good crank over your head — that'll kill her first!
  Phoney, Fone Bone: *Jaw Drop, look like they'll be sick, then faint.*
  *Beat*
  Gran'ma Ben: *grabbing a hatchet and marching out of panel* Hmmf. City boys!
• On their way back to the Barrelhaven, Phoney, Smiley, and Lucius are attacked by Rat Creatures. Smiley saves them- taking them over a cliff, where the land in a pond. Just as their getting their bearings, it starts raining.
  Lucius: Is everything I do with you boys gonna be like this?
  Smiley: Like what?
• The look on Phoney's face when he realizes that Lucius has outwitted him at the Cow Race.
