The webcomic

  • Ass Pull: Aubrey's status as transgender. Way at the start of the comic Aubrey was introduced to reader's as Harley's best friend, but once Skids and Cy ended up getting more focus Aubrey was suddenly dropped from the comic with no explanation. He eventually just suddenly reappears and his disappearance was explained as him going through gender confirmation therapy, after which Aubrey was attached to Harley's sister, Aurora, to give him more of a presence in the comic. (This whole arc makes way more sense in hindsight, considering the author is now going by the name Stan and married to a trans guy.)
  • Designated Monkey: Cyanide, whom the author made no secret about personally disliking by the end of the comic.
  • Heartwarming Moments: Aubrey, who is transgender, reveals to Aurora, Harley's sister, that he still hasn't completed going through the gender confirmation surgery process, treating this as a shameful secret. Aurora, not skipping a beat, just flat out tells Aubrey that he's a guy anyway and treats it like it was nothing, before going back to her own conversation.
  • One True Pairing: Cy and Skids to pretty much every reader, except the author.
  • Squick: "Spontaneous Orgasm"? For heaven's sake, Cyanide! Nobody would have wanted to be on that particular road trip ...
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Skid's crush on Harley, and Cy's attraction to Skids, both unrequited and unrevealed throughout the total run of the comic. Could also come off as Arc Fatigue since both were Ship Teased for awhile and ultimately led absolutely no where.
