  • In the first issue, we get this Black Comedy bit with Sam and Twitch investigating on a crime scene:
    Sam: And he wasn't killed by the fall?
    Twitch: No, sir. It was his heart.
    Sam: Heart failure?
    Twitch: Umm... you might say that, sir. It was removed.
    Sam: Removed?
    Twitch: Yes, sir. It was stuffed in his mouth.
  • Spawn and the other bums in the alley get drunk and sing the Flintstones theme song.
  • In an early issue, one of the bums is Elvis.
  • In issue #12, when Sam is pissed off at him and Twitch being placed under probation for Spawn's murder of Billy Kincaid, just because his corpse was inside their precinct, Twitch tells him to cheer up. He eventually decides to sarcastically act very happy and cheery, with Twitch remarking "I especially live for these sarcastic mood shifts of yours. Quite uplifting."
  • "Violator" is a terrifying name for a villain, but the origin of his name is ... pretty hilariously mundane, according to Word of God.
    The origin of his name is that on a cold, rainy night up in Canada, my wife and I were coming home from a night out. She asked me if it was okay if we stopped at the liquor store because she wanted to pick up a bottle of wine. I said sure, but since I don't drink, I decided to wait in the car while my wife. So while I was sitting there...I looked out the window and noticed a sign posted on a wall. It read something like... 'No parking anytime. All violators will be towed.' I sat looking at it for a few moments and then said to myself...VIOLATOR!?!? That would make for a COOL and NASTY villain name!!!!!
