History ComicStrip / Barnaby

* TalkingAnimal: Gorgon turns out to be one, to the displeasure of O'Malley.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: It takes place in TheForties, making this inevitable. Mentions of things like UsefulNotes/WorldWarII ration stamps and air raid drills abound, and Barnaby is often seen lounging in front of a massive radio.

-->'''Barnaby:''' I found a piece of tire chain and a part of an egg beater and a steamroller named Trilby.
-->'''Pop:''' Fine, Barnaby. Every few ounces help--and a ''what?''

* {{Invisibility}}: This is [=McSnoyd=]'s default mode. O'Malley's attempt to render him visible backfire and make him invisible, which is only fixed by chemical reactions caused by eating the free lunch at Paddy's Bar and Grill.

* PassThePopcorn: [=McSnoyd=]'s response to O'Malley attempting to render him visible is something along these lines.
-->'''O'Malley:''' Don't run off, [=McSnoyd=].
-->'''[=McSnoyd=]:''' Me? And miss this?
