** Martin's mom, Veronica, may qualify somewhat more, as she's still one of the most worldly cast members (save for Hannelore, after her vacation) and maintains her pornography career to some extent on the side. She even had ''Music/BlackFlag'' perform at her wedding, to Martin's profound disbelief.

--> '''Faye''': Th-that's ''terrible''.
--> '''Dora''': Huh? [remembers that Faye's father shot himself in front of Faye]
--> '''Dora''': Oh -- oh God, Faye, the gun thing, I didn't mean, I mean Marten didn't --
--> '''Faye''': What are you talking about? I meant the War and Peace part. I fuckin' hate Tolstoy.
* BareYourMidriff: Shows up occasionally, and for a while in the early days of the strip it was almost a standard feature of the female characters, especially Dora, Faye, and Raven.

* BearsAreBadNews: [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1285 Om nom nom nom]]. Averted in that the bear was actually a trained circus animal and not very dangerous as long as no one was stupid enough to anger it.

--->'''Faye:'' Like pickin' a fight with a ninja, or listenin' to Music/InsaneClownPosse! Picking a fight with a ninja who listens to ICP would be pretty much the worst thing you could do.

** Faye in [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=34 this early strip]].
** Faye again in [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=131 this slightly less early strip]].
** Faye yet again in the last panel of [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=183 this strip]].

* AbortedArc: A lot. A few of these get picked up again later. Many semi-regular character relationships end up this way, but as it IS a webcomic with LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, this is to be expected to some extent.

* CoolOldLady: Clinton and Claire's mom, Aurelia, is revealed to be a VirtualYoutuber, streaming video games behind a 3D bovine avatar named "MommyMilkers420," with 40,000 subscribers. (Somewhat downplayed in that her children are in their early 20s, so she's probably at most in her mid-50s, which is not particularly old if beyond the stereotypical CompetenceZone of a successful streamer.) (Downplayed further in that "pretending to be a cow with four breasts" may not qualify as "cool".)

*** Finally, there's her difficulty with personal relationships. She goes from being someone who doesn't feel she can be anyone's girlfriend at all, to having a brief relationship with Sven and then a somewhat deeper but truncated relationship with Angus, to [[spoiler: falling in love with Bubbles and coming out as bisexual.]] Admittedly, the person she falls hardest for ([[spoiler: Bubbles]]) is also the kindest, strongest, least selfish and most intelligent of all her partners, and has the biggest influence on Faye, prompting her to be more responsible, loyal and friendly to others.

** Similarly to Raven, Penelope Gaines was last seen or mentioned [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3200 almost 1600 pages ago]] (as of the time of this edit), despite this being less than 100 pages after [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3106 she was promoted to assistant manager of Coffee of Doom]].

** [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1030 Three hundred strips later]], Raven still thinks [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=764 Marten is rather]]...[[BiggusDickus gifted.]]

--> '''Clinton:''' You don't remember?
--> '''Elliot:''' Sorry. That happens, like, once a week.

-->'''Marten:''' ''[snrk]'' Sorry, sorry, it's really hard to have a serious conversation when you're all stuffy-sounding.
-->'''Faye:''' I do lag a cerdain grabitas ad the mobent.

** The Millefueille/Mee-foi “butt implants” running gag indicates that Faye has carried out quite major internal alterations without knowing quite important elements of Mee-foi’s construction.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Mille-feuille goes to Union Robotics for a butt implant. It's not until the upgrade is complete and she spends several seconds struggling that it occurs to her her new butt isn't just going to fit her old pants.

** Raven Pritchatd, a core cast member and employee of Coffee of Doom, last appeared over 2000 strips ago (at time of writing) and her absence has gone unremarked.

* AuthorFilibuster: Claire's [[http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=3038 desire to get a septum piercing]] involves her talking about how cool septum piercings are, and about how body art is an expression of control over one's body, mirroring Jeph's opinions on the matter. Of course, control over one's body being a major thing to Claire, [[spoiler:who is trans,]] is pretty understandable.

** Faye and Sven [[spoiler:before they hooked up]].

* AuthorFilibuster: Claire's [[http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=3038 desire to get a septum piercing]] involves her talking about how cool septum piercings are, and about how body art is an expression of control over one's body, mirroring Jeph's opinions on the matter.

** Deathmøle looked like it was headed this way, but [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1985 as of strip 1985 it is back]] [[spoiler:minus Nat]]. [[spoiler:And it's gone again, with Marten admitting that he's givin up on the dream of being a musician in favor of doing instrument repair.]]

** Claire: Fairly well-adjusted, but most likely went through self-identity issues before she realized for good that she is {{transgender}} and brought her life in line with that reality.
