* GodDoesNotOwnThisWorld: Invoked. Hopkins has deliberately released all the characters that he owns into the public domain, (though those he only half-owns or that were come up with by other people are still off-limits unless their express permission is given) allowing people to do whatever they want with them. The website now encourages people to send in their own comics and fanart that will be added into the canon and Hopkins has said anything goes as he will not be contributing any longer after the finale is posted. The most prolific contributor is Darkwing Dude, who hosts and runs the website.

** Two big ones involving comics that were put into print is that a third Cliff comic was meant to come out, as Cliff is last seen succumbing to Drip's influence and is only next seen in Hell already dead with no mention of how he died or got there, though no other details were given out about it. The other was that Sandy from ''The Screaming Barrel'' who is last seen abruptly abandoned by Drip on the side of the road crying was going to contact Richek in a new story trying to reveal the horrors of the titular place.

* WordOfGod:[[invoked]]states There's some details that never made it into the comic proper and were only mentioned elsewhere:
** Dave originally stated that Drip is also his AuthorAvatar. Complete with all the UnfortunateImplications that being represented by a character whose only personality trait is "rape" brings. This appears to have lessened over the years as the comic began to go in a different direction than the initial therapy project it started out as.
** Cliff was also revealed to be due to Dave coming up with the most painful and nightmarish ideas he could think of for what could happen to him in real life: how horrible it would be as an artist to get his hands cut off, lose an eye due to torture, and have [[spoiler: someone he loved killed right in front of him.]] He later admitted this now comes off as more like over-the-top childish {{Wangst}} and these days he would have gone in a completely different direction with the character.
** Though it is never mentioned in the comic properly, it was revealed in the comments section of the current site that ''Jink'' was Drip's first apprentice (though Dave did mention he'd forgotten this until a reader reminded him), which really raises a ''lot'' more questions than it answers. The mention of his first apprentice being a "he" by Taylor was apparently either [[WatsonianVsDoylist deliberate misdirection by Hopkins or Taylor honestly not knowing]] since he met Drip long after Jink was already dead.
** Farrago is shown in colored pics not hosted on the website as having been brown in life and only voluntarily changed her coloration to be black-and-white when she got to Heaven to emulate Central, who she greatly admires.
** Drip's name was given by his grandmother naming him after the blood that was dripping down the walls after his parents died when he was a baby.
* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: Hopkins has admitted there was a number of plot hints dropped that were mainly there to add "flavor" or "texture" to the overall storyline (Drip's first apprentice being mentioned one time and Rachel's existence as two examples) and he never intended to follow up on (a not uncommon problem with long-running webcomics to be sure), though some fans took them more as hints of a KudzuPlot that would all come together instead of just the hints they were meant to stay as. Though he has also encouraged any future contributors of writers and artists to the universe to explore these hints to create full storylines if they want to.

Old Shame is now an In Universe only trope. Out Of Universe example goes to Creator Backlash and that trope requires a source that the author expresses regret of their past work.

** One gets the sense that Hopkins is starting to view the comic on the whole as this after asking the website not to be put back up at his request after it went down due to technical issues. Given he started in it 2001 as a self-admitted coping mechanism for his mental health, it's possible he's ashamed of some of the extremes he chose to portray in the comic. The ScheduleSlip shown by the last two arcs failing to come out despite his assurances they will appear on his [=FurAffinity=] account since 2017 could show a certain amount of reluctance on how to end it as he originally intended since he's changed mentally as a person.
