* {{Eagleland}}: Mixed Flavor of Beautiful and Boorish. On the Beautiful side, the country was portrayed to have wide open spaces and individual houses with gardens that Stuart missed while in urbanized Hong Kong. On the Boorish side, Americans are portrayed as ignorant to other cultures, paranoid, and rude (though the last part is questionable as [[CultureClash the Hong Kong Chinese]] has manners that [[NotSoDifferent can be seen as "rude" for non-Hong Kong people as well]])

* InsultToRocks: In one series of strips, the story centers on the signs next to the elevator that says "No Dogs" and "No Filipinos," with all the maids, who happen to be Filipinas, being forced to, its heavily implied, go up dozens of floors up to their employers apartment. The arc ends with a number of Filipinos protesting the buildings racist policy, and the manager folds by taking down one of the signs. The protesters then begin to beat him and the concierge with their picket signs after they took down the wrong sign.
