Widgey Q. Butterfluff

2010 graphic novel by Steph Cherrywell.


 * Affectionate Parody: Of super-cheery Saturday Morning cartoons, especially those of the 1980s.
 * All Girls Want Bad Boys: Widgey's attraction to Buster.
 * Badbutt: Buster wishes he was even this. An "evil" Widgey he briefly imagines, however, plays this trope straight.
 * Brick Joke: Involving Isaac Newton.
 * Ditzy Genius: Professor Schoolbug is a textbook example.
 * Embarrassing Old Photo: We see Lord Meanskull's middle school photo at one point. He apparently had a fuzzstache and was a huge Nine Inch Nails fan. And somehow a living skull had acne.
 * Author Appeal: This is a Steph Cherrywell comic. What do you think?
 * Girls Have Cooties: Buster's view of Widgey.
 * Gosh Darn It to Heck: Widgey is prone to this.
 * Hypercompetent Sidekick: Lord Meanskull's "Hench-Witches." Especially Papunya.
 * I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin!: PILLOWS. Not to be confused with cushions, which can be used in moderation by responsible adults.
 * Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Lord Meanskull.
 * Only Sane Mouse: Jolene.
 * Shotacon: Widgey, but only because Buster is the only male of their species she's ever met.
 * Sugar Bowl: While a lot of the saccharine sweetness is deconstructed or parodied, there are still some moments that will make your teeth hurt.
 * Tastes Like Diabetes: Intentionally so.
