===Remarks===
===Remarks===
-
*When Cheerleader leaps in happiness over her friendship with Crazy Learner's Permit Girl, the horizon line cuts off where she stood.
 
-
*Generally speaking, American teenagers get a driver's license at about sixteen years of age. Given the fact that she's had a driver's license for a year, it appears that What's Her Face is at least seventeen years old, a hint to her relative [[Ages of Characters#Teen Girl Squad|age]].
 
-
*Many Public Service Announcements involving safe driving emphasize the youth of the accident victims showcased, commenting on how "they had their whole lives ahead of them", giving a possible explanation to Cheerleader's cry of "Ow, my entire life!"
 
-
*Strong Bad usually does the voices for Teen Girl Squad toons, but the vultures and Mr. Pitters sound nothing like Strong Bad or Strong Bad imitating the voices.
 
-
*Vultures usually do not actively kill animals to feed, as implied with Mr. Pitters, but wait for the animal in question to die of other causes before feeding.
 
-
*Mr. Pitters's rib cage opens out of his back on his dead body, even though that's where the spine should be.
 
-
*In this issue, Strong Bad secretly inserted a "[[crap]]". The word "scraptastic" is pasted together with an S, the word "crap", and the suffix "-tastic".
 
-
*This is the first Teen Girl Squad comic in which Strong Bad appears outside of an Easter egg.
 
-
*Assuming Sci-Fi Greg was indeed referring to Dungeons and Dragons, he would still be a level one character if his experience points were still only in triple digits; a character becomes level two at 1,000 experience points in most versions of the game.
 
-
*This cartoon has neither an "again" [[Toons Without Back Buttons|nor a "back" link]] at the end.
 
-
===Goofs===
+
*There was also a Dungeons and Dragons reference in Teen Girl Squad's 8th issue.
-
*The font used for Strong Bad's handwriting contains European Qs and 7s, which have small horizontal lines running through them. Normally [[the Brothers Chaps]] edit those extra lines out, but they didn't here.
+
*This cartoon has neither an "Again" nor a "Back" link at the end.
-
*The speech bubbles for Cheerleader's "stop saying words" and the vulture's "quite good, quite good" cover up the paper's blue lines.

*This is the first Teen Girl Squad comic in which Strong Bad appears outside of an easter egg.
 +
*This is the first Teen Girl Squad comic to use vocals distinctly separate from Strong Bad (who traditionally provides all the voices himself).
