* Any strip where Jason treats Quincy as an actual pet rather than as a mere prop to annoy his family with. One of the best of these strips is where he and Quincy make up after Quincy destroys Jason's very first Slugman comic. The reader doesn't even see Jason's face and the effect still works; the fact that it works show just how simple and sweet their affection for each other really is.

* The arc where Andy buys an [=iFruit=] when the family needs a computer. She falls for the marketing appeal but also shows herself more open to getting extra RAM and technology as a result. Jason at first is repulsed by how "cute" it is, as well as how the computer tries to shove tutorials down his throat, until Andy gives him a hard installation. Even Paige changes her outfit to match the [=iFruit=] aesthetic.

* [[http://comic-foxtrot.livejournal.com/235483.html Father's Day 2011]]; Jason makes Roger a comic book about "Super Dad" as a gift, saying he could give better gifts, like golf clubs, or a Ferrari, if he had a bigger allowance. Roger calls the comic the best gift ever. Yes, even by comparison to a Ferrari. Considering Jason was using the comic in an attempt to tell Roger he should give him a bigger allowence, it's also a case of ComicallyMissingThePoint.

* There is a sweet (surprisingly not [[BrotherSisterIncest squick-inducing]]) story where Paige can't find a date to the prom, and Peter is stiffed by Denise at the last minute. Andy suggests Peter take Paige, and though he goes through the requisite feelings of humiliation, in the end Paige has a great time and genuinely thanks him. It's warm-and-fuzzy, genuine brother/sister moments like that that made the early years of the strip so great.

* The Christmas storyline from 1997, where Andy's mom comes for a visit. Actually provided a nice development for Andy.
** To specify, the storyline begins with it being clear that ''everyone'' Andy has known has loved her mother, leaving her feeling inadequate and resentful. Andy does her best to hide this, but finally accidentally blurts this all out while her mother is standing behind her. Hearing this, her mother sits down and hears her out, letting Andy explain why she's so miserable. When it's time for her mother to leave, Andy sincerely asks her back for the next holiday, and is pleasantly surprised to find she isn't feeling horrible at the thought.
* In an early week-long arc, Jason is embarrassed to go back to school because Andy got him a {{Garfield}} binder, so he goes to the first day of school wearing a sack over his head. There, he sees a girl who's also wearing a sack over her head, and asks if her mom got her a {{Garfield}} binder too; the girl replies that she got a "geeky" Apollo 11 moon-walk binder. What happens next is incredibly sweet, especially considering that it's [[GirlsHaveCooties Jason]].

* Even though Paige considers Morton Goldthwait an {{Abhorrent Admirer}}, she has been shown to not dislike him as a person. On one occasion, after accidentally accepting Morton's invitation to a dance, Paige ended up lying to him about being sick to get out of it. However, when Morton called her to wish her a Merry Christmas, Paige realized [[JerkAssRealization how mean she'd been]] and genuinely felt bad for lying. On another occasion, Morton sat next to Paige at lunch; while Paige was initially annoyed, Morton then admitted that not many people want to be around him, and thanks Paige for letting him sit with her. Paige is genuinely touched, and even defends Morton from Peter after the latter calls him "a drip."
