In both cases, he nearly lost Heart's friendship. * Fur and Loathing: One of the comic's recurring themes. * Interestingly, Fur and Loathing pops up in Tatulli's other comic from time to time, albeit very differently. * Getting Crap Past the Radar: Dean's comment about the less-than-courageous gang he's formed. * Give Geeks a Chance: Heart may complain about Dean's nerdy interests, but as the examples from Flowers for Algernon Syndrome above shows, she wouldn't want him any other way. * Halfway Plot Switch: Subverted for the most part: While the longer arcs do tend to drift a little, they almost always come back around by the end. * Little Miss Snarker: Heart. * Mood Whiplash: The Kristallnacht arc. * Not a Morning Person: Heart. * Parental Abandonment: Heart's father is absent from her life, pursuing a career as an actor. This accounts for her showbiz fixation and provides some Tear Jerker moments. * The Ghost: Dean's father is referred to several times, but is never seen. * Shout-Out: To Salad Fingers, of all things. * The Un-Smile: Heart's "innocent smile".
