The KAMics/YMMV


 * Alternative Character Interpretation: The author saw the S.M.O.G. board of directors as business people who sometimes have to deal with dangerous people & are forced to sometimes take cowboy justice. The readers saw them as "a bunch of violent, power-mad gits".
 * Archive Panic: Even before the comic reached 800.
 * Painful Rhyme: Lampshaded even
 * The Scrappy: S.M.O.G.
