Freefall/YMMV
- Acceptable Targets: Many.
- Anvilicious: (Stupid) corporations are bad, m'kay? As are lawyers and politicians, but, well, y'know... And middle managers are dumb. This can all be rolled into one all-encompassing Aesop: Obstructive Bureaucrats are (far) more dangerous than an Alien Invasion.
- Archive Panic: In the year 2011 the 2011th strip was posted.
- Complete Monster: Kornada. For further explanation, read "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" on the main page.
- Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: "Never again shall one generation of veterans abandon another."
- Fridge Brilliance: Here Florence is talking with her mouth shut, we later learn she talks using ventriloquism.
- Genius Bonus: When Winston is talking about "dots," little mini-ecosystems with dead land between them, some of which die, and others of which will eventually cover the whole planet, common patterns from Conway's Game of Life are shown in the background. See here for details.
- Less Disturbing in Context: The romantic subplot involves an Uplifted Animal wolf and a human.
- Magnificent Bastard: Sam (again, kind of).
- Not if you count this strip.
- Memetic Sex Goddess: Florence, in a rather weird meta way. The "Droolin Phanboiz'" attraction is personal and intellectual, rather than physical...most of the time.
- Moral Event Horizon: Crossed by Mr. Kornada, with this. He's not wiping out robots because he fears them. He's doing it to RIP THEM OFF!
- Nausea Fuel: Sam gets a taste of this when he asks Florence about her meal though he's normally the one causing it.
- Nightmare Fuel: Played for laughs when Sam explains his understanding of what to expect when Florence recovers from her ordeals during Hurricane Joe.
- Squick: Do-it-yourself blood sample drawing and a self-administered spinal tap and bone marrow sample.
- Values Dissonance: According to Sam (and Word of God backs him up), his race evolved as scavengers so stealing and deception is in his genes.
