Wgwallace: /* Removal of Body Parts */

==Recurring Themes==

===Steve and Toasters===

Steve has, many times, run into problems with toasters. This seems to be the result of an unfeasible conspiracy against Steve; every time Steve attempts to make toast, something goes horribly wrong with the toaster. For example, various toasters have turned out to be fairies, [[Wikipedia:Transformers|Transformer]]-esque robots, or haunted.

Steve's problems with toast date even further back than these toaster troubles: at one point, Steve attempted to butter his toast only to discover that the [[butter]] had become a foul-tasting, three-eyed being.

===Fairies===

Magical [[:Category:Fairies|fairies]] make regular appearances in Beaver and Steve. These have included the [[Meat Fairy]], the [[Good Fairy of the East]], toaster fairies, mine pixies, etc.

===Removal of Body Parts===

Various appendages and body parts are removed frequently in this comic. In one case, an awkward situation arose when Steve discovered [[Moustache Guy]]'s disembodied [[nipples]] while bathing in a hot tub ([[Comic 20]]). In another, Beaver somehow obtained another (or possibly the same) man's nose. Beaver [[Comic 67|once]] removed [[Steve's pelvis]] and used it to escape from the Shoe Goblin's clutches. And while playing a game of chase in [[Comic 144]], Beaver accidently removes [[Steve's tail]] (which is an evolutionary throwback from the days when Steve's race had to escape the [[Sky-Octopus]]), which then turns into a minature version of Steve and tries to cut off Beavers' tail. (The real Steve then cuts off Beaver's tail and attaches it to himself.)

===Steve's Inner Demons===

Steve sometimes struggles with his inner demons, in a very literal sense. Steve's body has been occupied by actual demons who emerge every thousand years, a [[Wikipedia:Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln]]-esque man in a top hat, and [[Loki]], the Norse god of mischief.

==Opening of Locked Doors==

Steve seems to find it impossible not to open doors that are clearly never to be opened. In [[comic 170]] he opens a portal from [[Pixie Land]] to [[Gremlinopolis]] and thus enslaving the Pixie polulation. Beaver in fact says 'I thoguht we'd agreed, no more running jokes' linking to this theme. Again in [[comic 159]] Steve opens a door and releases [[the mighty and terrible QUAL'N'GURTHA]] leading to all sorts of unfeasible hi-jinks.
