- Archive Panic: There are well over 30,000 daily strips. Good luck reading them all; not to mention the ones that have naturally been lost over the years. Even only taking the ones secured in the Walt & Skeezix collections (which, as of this edit, cover from 1918 to 1932) into account, that's still 14 years worth of strips.
- Bizarro Episode: A few storylines from the 1990s, and many more from the 2000s, fall into this category.
- Growing the Beard: The first few years of the strip were considered nothing special on their own. It was after the Character Development a little while after Skeezix was introduced began setting in that things started locking together.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: The April 17, 2016 strip featured Pastor Present having a bad dream about people using technology at church during Sunday mass. Just that week, the AMC Theaters CEO announced that he was considering allowing texting at the chain's locations (though he later backed out), but this particular strip had been made weeks (if not months) before.
- Viewers Are Goldfish: The Jim Scancarelli era has characters addressing every other character by name at least once in nearly every strip, as if readers are likely to forget who's who without a daily reminder. Some characters (Boog in particular) wear T-shirts with their name in huge letters across the front in a weird attempt to avoid this.
