* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: While the comic itself was well-recieved, some fans were disappointed that the voiced version of ''Run, Run, Runaways'' used to promote it had the cast of WebVideo/HardlyWorking portray the characters, as they didn't quite capture their personalities. Especially since Julia Lepitit and Jacob Andrews were already involved in the creation of the project anyway.

** Narcissistic celebrities. Don Juan Di #Micdrop is a grose, washed-up has-been with big entitlement issues and an even bigger ego. He ends up literally trapped in his own shit for much of the story, until he's freed in the final episode... only to be crushed by a giant robot.
** Dahlia Delilah Deep Pockets -- the VillainOfTheWeek of ''Nowhere, Fast'' -- was brought to life by "the utter despair of bus bound travellers." This is in all likelyhood a TakeThat to the New York public transport system, which the Drawfee crew have criticized numerous times.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: ''Feel Better Soon'' being set in Porfopolis becomes this after said city is frozen by an ice dragon prior to Season Three of WebVideo/{{Drawga}}, with disasterous effets on Somewherica's overall economy. It's not even confirmed that it was HarmlessFreezing, either.
* HarsherInHindsight: The constant threat of the Ladies Book Club ending due to circumstances out of its members' control can be this after the last episodes of Season Three of WebVideo/{{Drawga}} were shelved after the Website/CollegeHumor firing.

* OlderThanTheyThink: Surely this is the first time Tony Wilson has worked on something WebVideo/{{Drawga}}-adjacent, right? Not quite. He previously appeared in the ''Drawfee Break'' episode ''Comic Strip'', which is where Season Two characters Francis and Daryl debuted.

** Towards the end of ''The Ol' College Try'', Gina and Rox consider changing their names to "something cooler and more complicated", suggesting "Rryhgiinnaaa" and "Rooahexxhhahh" respectively. Are these "drunken" versions of their names in WebVideo/{{Drawga}} -- implying that "Ryjinah" and "Rah'ōxah" are just their nicknames? Or are they taking their already XtremeKoolLetterz-filled names and making them ''[[SerialEscalation even more complicated?]]'' [[note]] Though this also opens up some FridgeLogic. Either they waited a whole year before they started using their nicknames, or they never did and temporarily shortened them instead.[[/note]]

* JerkassHasAPoint' Given that Legzi's adventuring career would later end up putting her in frequent danger for little to no pay, it's understandably why he would want her to stay in the safer family business, especially since he has already lost her mother. However, he takes his desire to protect her ''way'' too far, ironically putting her and her friends in danger and ''actually'' killing [[AMillionIsAStatistic hundreds of people]] in a traffic accident.
* SavedByCanon: If you have any knowledge of WebVideo/{{Drawga}} past Season One, it will be pretty obvious that both the Ladies Book Club itself and it's members are going to make it through the story okay.
** [[SerialEscalation Taken even further]] in ''The Ol' College Trial'', which had the highest stakes of ''any'' piece of Ladies Book Club media released at the time (TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, a threat only encountered twice since) but -- by virtue of being a FlashbackEpisode -- is also the chronologically ''earliest'' LBC story.

** From the same issue, a drunk Legzi being unable to remember how to spell her own name is either putting a LampshadeHanging on the inconsistent spelling of her last name or ''explaining'' said inconsistency.
