* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: When much of Momo's hair is accidentally burned off, she is desperate for Bubbles and Faye to do what they have to to get her artificial hair to grow back. This turns out to involve Momo being [[https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3850 dunked head-first for six to eight hours in a giant bucket of solution]]. Bonus points because she's giving them a thumbs-up.

* ScaryLibrarian: Claire isn't exactly a frightening person, being a dorky woman with a penchant for puns. However, that doesn't stop the Cubetown rumor mill from turning her, through the power of GossipEvolution, into a terrifying librarian who [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4960 once shushed someone to death.]]

** Willow gets these while [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4458 attempting to make friends with Faye]], which Faye (being Faye) actually appreciates.
--->'''Faye''': [''stone-faced''] Are you always this chipper?
--->'''Willow''': [''sweating heavily''] I'm extremely intimidated by you, so I'm masking it by being cheerful and outgoing! Is it working?
--->'''Faye''': [''brightly''] Now see, if you'd opened with '''that''', I'da been more receptive! I like bein' intimidating!
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
These examples were just the comic's reality ensuing, when the trope is about the viewer's. Character reactions also don't count anymore.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** [[spoiler:The Marten/Dora breakup]] is a well-written reflection on how real relationships can go south. Bonus points for using personality traits and behaviors they exhibited previously (in humorous context at the time) outside of their relationship.
** [[spoiler:Faye getting fired from the café]] is the obvious consequence of how she behaves at work, [[FromBadToWorse which is then followed]] by her [[spoiler:drinking herself into such a worryingly bad physical state that Marten has to call the ambulance]]. Then, after acknowledging she's got a problem and taking steps to deal with it, [[spoiler:she goes OffTheWagon the moment she thinks she can justify it to herself. Since chemical dependency isn't something easily overcome even if you know you have a problem]].
** [[spoiler: Faye falling in love with Bubbles after she's given up booze]] is a reflection of how sobriety forces people to be more honest with themselves about their own feelings.

Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Since the strip has already established that there are therapists, this trope doesn't suddenly come into play when a character who already has one stops going to that therapist. Therapists and group therapy are still shown to exist after Faye stops going to her therapist.
