Each comic features small, simple drawings, paired with short captions or dialogue. The style of humor on ''Toothpaste for Dinner'' encompasses surrealism, irony, [[social commentary]], cynicism, and [[schadenfreude]], among other types of humor.

==Art==<br />
The art for ''Toothpaste for Dinner'' is drawn with ink on paper (Uni-Ball Micro pens and 300 lb. wt. Bristol board illustration paper). Although the art is primarily black and white, a color comic is occasionally posted. The art style, although minimalist, stands out due to its disjointed style. The artist often draws people with misaligned eyes, and only three, flipper-like fingers.<ref>[http://media.www.pittnews.com/media/storage/paper879/news/2005/10/11/Ae/Brush.Daily.With.Random.Humor-1786322.shtml Brush daily with random humor]{{dead link|date=February 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://techcrunch.com/2010/02/26/an-interview-with-famed-comic-artists-drew-and-natalie-dee|work=[[TechCrunch]]|title=An interview with famed comic artists Drew and Natalie Dee|last=Merrill|first=Scott|date=2010-02-26}}</ref> The comic has been illustrated by contractors since 2010, so that [[Fairweather Johnson|Fairweather]] can focus on his other projects: "The Worst Things for Sale" and his [[rap music|rap]] career as Crudbump.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://observer.com/2015/11/webcomics-changing-business-model|newspaper=[[Observer.com|Observer]]|title=The Webcomics Business Is Moving on From Webcomics|last=Dale|first=Brady|date=2015-11-16}}</ref><br />
