14* The comic collection Max is holding in [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/07/13 this strip]] is an ''Webcomic/OzyAndMillie'' collection.

16* ''Franchise/StarTrek''[=/=]RedShirt [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/04/14 reference]]
17* [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/10/31 Read]] the AltText of this comic. One of the commenters refers to {{Flanderization}}.
18* Whenever Quincy shows up in the strip, expect ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', and other such references galore. [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2010/07/21 One strip]] even managed to combine a ''[=DnD=]'' reference and a ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' reference ("It's a super-effective hit.").
19* Tiffany's father is shown [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/06/07 wearing a]] ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'' t-shirt, complete with modified stick figure (and another time outright playing it at work).
20* [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2010/10/02 In strip #573]], Autumn gives Tiffany a [[Music/TaylorSwift celebrity makeover]].
21* One long ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' reference, especially the alt-text, [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2010/10/09 here]].
22* [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2011/03/13 Strip #735]] unleashes a few in quick succession to, respectively, ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', ''Webcomic/GingersBread'', and ''Webcomic/CodeNameHunter''.
23** [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2011/03/14 #736]] ups the ante, referencing Music/FrankieGoesToHollywood, Music/{{REM}}, and ''[[AnyoneRememberPogs pogs]]''.
24** [[RuleOfThree This is followed in]] [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2011/03/15 the next strip]] by a Music/JoannaNewsom reference.
25* In [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2010/12/13 this comic's]] alt-text: "[[UsefulNotes/TheodoreRoosevelt Tap softly and carry a big gift]]."
26* In [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/07/29 this strip]], Ms. Pingo's ever-changing coffee mug provides additional shout out to REM and The B-52's, plus Music/TenThousandManiacs and NewWaveMusic in general.
27* It's safe to assume many of the characters are fans of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. T-shirts are about everywhere, and [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2012/01/28 Jacob decides]] to host a [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E25PartyOfOne party of one]], as it were.
28** Oddly, NiceGuy Max isn't as famiiar. Which means he doesn't recognise why [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2013/12/28 Quincy's secret Santa gift]] isn't a defect. (It's fan favourite Derpy Hooves.)
29* To ''Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'': Jacob Linkletter is [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2013/03/15 mostly harmless]].
30* The season 4 opening of ''Series/BabylonFive'' is shamelessly stolen in order to open [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2016/01/02 2016]].
