Moving from YMMV.
* MoodWhiplash: Several strips aren't necessarily this when read on a daily basis (as was the original medium), but quickly become this when read in one sitting. The most extreme example of this has to be when Junior's girlfriend dies. Junior is seen mourning her at her grave, saying he'll always love her... [[RefugeInAudacity and the next day's comic]] has the goofy looking Tonsils singing about muddy rainbows while his assistant "[[WhoNamesTheirKidDude Dude]]" forces a talent agent to listen at gunpoint.

* ManEatingPlant: Mr. Crime employed an old woman who breed man-eating ''muerte'' vines from UsefluNotes/TheAmazonRainforest, which Mr. Crime used to dispose of the bodies of those he had killed. The vines would consume the flesh, and the bones would be run through a crusher to create plant food. When Tracy is investigating the hidden grow house where the vines are kept, one of them attempts to grab his face. The end of the arc shows the vines being transferred to the public gardens, which seems a tad irresponsible.
