These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
Genre Savvy: Squee seems well aware that there's something horribly wrong with the universe he lives in, and that there may be some crazy writer/artist behind it all.
Tear Jerker: As if his own parents locking him up in an asylum wasn't bad enough, it's at least Played for Laughs. The final Dreamtime page is probably the most depressing moment in the entire thing: Squee, laying awake in terror in his cell and fantasizing about becoming even more deranged than Johnny. The comic not only leaves us with the image of an elementary-schooler fearing his eventual psychotic breakdown, but also fearing complete mental regression as this kid who so loves writing is reduced to incoherent scribbles on his cell wall.
