Provides examples of:

• Ambiguous Gender: Both Pon and Zi at first, but eventually subverted when fans decided Pon was the boy and Zi was the girl.
• Bilingual Bonus: One strip has Pon saying "I love you" in Japanese to Zi.
• Color Coded for Your Convenience: Pon is yellow and Zi is blue.
• Crowning Moment of Funny: "I went to pick you a flower, but it was a Venus flytrap and it bit my head, so I killed it and got you this piece of grass instead."
  • "Umm, be happy, okay? I killed it [the spider] for you."
• Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: So very many.
  • "I love you to the moon Pluto and back."
  • "I'll just pretend to hug you until you get here."
  • "No matter how much I practice, I can't make pictures of you pretty enough..."
