Shapeshifter Baggage: An aversion is described as one of the potential problems with shapeshifting. The shapeshifter tries to disguise himself as a flower in a field of flowers... but he cannot change his mass, and so his flower rather stands out. |

comment |
Pull a Rabbit out of My Hat: A strip about live action role-playing talked about how magicians get the short end of the stick. The strip showed a stage magician telling one of his teammates how his 'useless' magic tricks had just saved their lives. The teammate then asked what he was going to do when he ran out of rabbits and pulled back to show the magician pulling rabbits out of his hat to feed to the monster that was attacking them. |

Description Porn: The comic in Dragon magazine (June 1983) played this for laughs. Demonstrating a spy's ability to be intimately familiar with all sorts of weapons, it shows a spy coolly rattling off the name and statistics for a Mauser 1906, an AR-15 assault rifle, and... a rubber duck. |

Rotten Robotic Replacement: In Dragon magazine #63, TSR Labs creates a robotic version of Phil Foglio to replace him. The robot shocks Phil and knocks him unconscious for most of the strip. Phil gets his revenge by pouring water in the robot's ear and short circuiting it. In the last panel, just as Phil announces that he and Dixie are finally going to do "Sex and D&D" next month, a robot replacement for Dixie appears (it replaced her offscreen). |

Heel–Face Revolving Door |
| | What's New? with Phil and Dixie (Comic Strip) / int_97522514 |
comment |
Heel–Face Revolving Door: In the last few strips, after Phil turns evil, Dixie becomes "uber-good" when she realizes she can still dress sexy while being heroic... but mostly so she could continue kicking Phil's ass. |

Shout-Out: Regularly. This comic on werewolf variants features a were-aardvark who looks just like Cerebus. Also cleverly namechecks Cerebus Syndrome with a pun when the doctor comments "It's more serious than we thought!" Gazebo Boy (Eric and the Dread Gazebo)? Gallimauphry magazine and the Winslow on the next page (Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire). "Godzilla Festival" also has the Winslow. DM girl reads Buck Godot behind her DM-screen. Come see beautiful (and smelly) Ankh-Morpork. |

Best Her to Bed Her: In the "Sex and D&D" strip, after stating that elves are far too superior to even have sex, it then says that this only applies when around other elves, and their attitude amongst other races is very different. The female elf is shown in a mud-wrestling pit with a sign reading "Pin 'er to win 'er!" |

Fourth-Wall Mail Slot: Done as a gag, with the pair answering fake letters from gamers. Also an in-character fake letter that Phil sent in as a joke. |

Pungeon Master: A proposed "Jester" archetype for Dungeons & Dragons is shown to kill monsters with pun-attacks. (And, not incidentally, his party, demonstrating that Puns aren't picky about targets.) |

Running Gag |
| | What's New? with Phil and Dixie (Comic Strip) / int_f9f2c33 |
comment |
Running Gag: In the 1980s run of What's New?, Phil and Dixie kept promising that their expose of "Sex and D&D!" was on its way, only to be put off for another month each issue. When it finally did arrive, it was just about the mating habits of various monsters. Psych! Mammoths. The mail snail became a slo-o-owly crawling gag. |
