Censor Box: Some names of people and organizations Tomine had interacted with are scratched out with black to protect their identities, making it look like a censor box. Others like Neil Gaiman and NPR host Terry Gross are not. |

Briffits and Squeans: Invoked. To demonstrate his profession for his daughter's class, Adrian draws a man running. He draws loops around the man's head (plewds) and the kids pick up that the man is sweaty. He draws a poofy shape followed by lines (briffits) intending to show the man's speed, but the kids think he farted. |

Asian and Nerdy: Tomine, who is Japanese-American, narrates an incident where a cartoonist assumed he was an internet technician rather than a fellow cartoonist. |

Follow the Leader: Invoked, Adrian notes opinions that he's become a ripoff of Daniel Clowes in terms of style and includes an anecdote where a fan mistakes him for Clowes at a convention. |
