* In [[https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=720 #720]], Marten picks up a stop sign, saying he's "nowhere near [[{{Bishonen}} effeminate]] or [[AnimeHair spiky-haired]] enough for this". This would be a reference to ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'', but the anime didn't air till 2010 and this strip is from 2006.[[note]]The Light Novels started publication in 2004, but it's unclear if Jeph knew about them, or if they were even available in the West at that time.[[/note]]

** In [[https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2238 #2238]], Emily asks Momo if her pigtails detach... She then asks if Momo stores roll cake in her arms, but that's a shout-out to [[Manga/Nichijou a different anime]].

* [[https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5009 Page 5009]] is a reference not only to ''VideoGame/LobotomyCorporation'', but specifically LetsPlay/TeeQueue's LetsPlay of it, featuring two of his characters, Mizu and Bishop (though the former's Today's Shy Look isn't covering her entire face as it does in canon, but just her mouth like a face mask).

* There's a GeniusBonus one in [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4127 this one]]: when Faye snarks at Sam "Go finish your sprays, Gentileschi," it's a reference to 17th century Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi, who became somewhat notorious for her amazingly gory pictures of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_beheading_Holofernes the biblical story of Judith beheading Holofernes.]] Jeph references this.

* The "sympathetic party" who offers to help Bubbles recover her memories starting in [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3391 3391]] is pretty clearly based on Anonymous. Their appearance is also very similar to Desire of [[ComicBook/TheSandman The Endless]] or the cover art of Music/DuranDuran's ''Rio'' album.
