13!!This webcomic provides examples of:
14%%* AltText
15* ImagineSpot: Sean tends to have these, which are brightly colored, sparkly, and dramatic. They don't quite match up to reality.
16* IndyPloy: Lee's plan for finding an apartment is basically "get there and find something." And that's Plan B. Plan A was "Mom's nagging, so let's see what I can find on the Internet."
17* MushroomSamba: Due to inhaling near Gary's as-of-yet-unexplained plant, Lee hallucinates an ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' style adventure. Sean is then shown to be hallucinating a military combat videogame, indicating he also breathed it in.
18%%* NoodleIncident: The coffee incident at the diner.
19* MrImagination:
20** When Sean first discovered the ceiling space where he sleeps, [[ImagineSpot he imagined it as a fantastic hideaway, complete with rainbows, sparkles, and Disney music]]. The reality? [[http://933dollars.thecomicseries.com/comics/40/ "It's so small. Why is it so small?"]]
21** Sean fantasizes himself scaling a drainpipe with ease after a one-liner. He then struggles with the ungraceful reality of the task.
22* ShipperOnDeck: Vince totally ships Lee and Sean.
23* ToughLove: Mrs. Baker seems to subscribe to this, given how [[http://933dollars.thecomicseries.com/comics/8 she knew Lee lied about having an apartment and let her drive off to college anyway]].
