Another one reads "Allen is gay", written possibly by one of his friends as a joke, or someone who hates him. There is also orange graffiti of the All-Seeing Eye, "666", and a deformed LongNeck, which could also be drawn by Allen, but it is unlikely since Allen wasn't present during the invasion. Also inside the store, there is some graffiti which reads "Im Les", possibly written by Tess, since it was revealed she also did graffiti, but it's unlikely it was her, since she was the Robber's girlfriend.

Also in episode 49, if you pause around 4:32, there is a quick frame of an old drawing of LongNeck, Donn, Crazy and the Robber from the original series, with text above reading "Made in 2013". However, it is a typo, since the original series actually started at the end of 2012.

Dr. Madd's Mouth
Again in episode 49, before Dr. Madd resurrects everyone who was killed in the invasion, the mask covering his mouth is ripped, allowing us to see a bit of his mouth.
