Exty Years from Publication: When the Retool pushed the setting back a century, it pushed it back exactly a century, from 1969 to 1869.

Wants a Prize for Basic Decency
 Rick O'Shay (Comic Strip) / int_24a045cd
comment
Wants a Prize for Basic Decency: Played for laughs in one strip where a foreman reports to his boss that all the men have walked off work to go listen to Moonglow sing. The boss chews him out for not stopping them, demanding to know what sort of foreman he is. The foreman protests that he's a very good foreman for coming back to report it - why, he wanted to go listen to Moonglow too!

The Sheriff: Rick is officially only a deputy sheriff (the town isn't large enough to qualify for an actual sheriff, supposedly), but otherwise he fits the trope.

The Trap Parents: Done with Quyat, who was found wandering in the forest as a small child. A man shows up claiming to be the kid's father, but is actually an outlaw who killed Quyat's father over a treasure map, only to find that Quyat and the map had both disappeared; having now tracked Quyat down, he wants to get Quyat to remember where the map was hidden.

Fastest Gun in the West: Deconstructed with a man rumored to be the fastest shot in the west, whom everyone fears. He really is lighting fast, but did you really think you can shoot that fast and have good aim at the same time?

Retool
 Rick O'Shay (Comic Strip) / int_b2283870
comment
Retool: In 1969. Before, it was an outright humor comic with cartoony art set in the present day. Afterward, it was set in the 19th century and, while still having comedic elements, turned into more of a western adventure/drama strip with more realistic art.

Writing Around Trademarks: The strip's second writer, Marian Dern, was the wife of Chuck Jones. One strip has a tiny, realistically drawn road runner zip past in front of Rick, followed by a coyote. Rick muses the coyote's never going catch that ol' road runner.
