Chekhov's Gun: The gravestone rock Casper takes from the cemetery.Happens a little more frequently and obviously during the stand alone specials, usually with the character talking to the reader about something, particularly the Culture and History lesson strips, for example. Breaking the Fourth Wall: Only happens on occasion, and usually only with a knowing look from a character towards the reader.Because everything in Australia is named after kangaroos, right?
