'''''A Girl and Her Fed''''' is a web comic.
An unnamed woman who works as a journalism intern finds she is on a terrorist watchlist. When she confronts the Fed who is set to watch her, things get seriously, fantastically weird. There's a good deal of humor thrown in. And did we mention the forty billion undead pixies? And the talking super-genius koala? Once the fantastic elements are accepted by the reader, we then see [[Government Conspiracy|how deep the rabbit hole goes]]. Much, much better than it sounds.
[http://www.agirlandherfed.com/ Read. Enjoy. Conspire.]
{{tropelist}}
* [[A Boy and His X]]
* [[Action Girl]]: The girl. She's one of the best in the world at judo.
* [[A God Am I]]: Clarice's eventual goal.
* [[Arbitrary Skepticism]]: Agent 146/Clarice deals with ghosts on a near-daily basis, but refuses to believe that {{spoiler|The Girl is an [[The Empath|empath]]}}.
** Also [http://www.agirlandherfed.com/1.593.html averted], sort of.
Line 18:
** The '[[Eyes Always Shut]]' bit was broken at various different points - the meeting with Mike, the flashbacks with the Fed and {{spoiler|Dixon's wife}}, et cetera. The real art style change happened when the artist decided to do so for one reason or another...and the fact that she's bringing the whole strip into a more realistic style makes one wonder what it'll look like regarding those flashbacks.
* [[Artificial Limbs]]: {{spoiler|Clarice}} has a [[Super Strength|super strong]] cybernetic arm and has apparently similar reinforcements planted to {{spoiler|her}} spine to supports its weight and lift capability. {{spoiler|However, apparently it's not designed to resist being ripped apart from her shoulder socket.}}
* [[Back
{{quote|
* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: The Girl, in spades.
* [[Badass Abnormal]]: The Fed upgraded from [[Badass Normal]] once he {{spoiler|gains control of the chip}}
Line 28:
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Planning an all-out assault really does make a difference, doesn't it?
* [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul]]
* [[Don't Explain the Joke]]: During a showdown with Clarice, Hope makes a joke about juggling [[
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: The Fed, whom The Girl [[Only Known by Their Nickname|refers to as "Sparky"]]
** {{spoiler|His real name is eventually revealed to be Agent Patrick "Pat" Mulcahy.}}
Line 37:
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: The eponymous battle couple, who are a doctor and a lawyer, respectively.
* [[Ghostly Goals]]: Some are more malevolent than others.
* [[Gods Need Prayer Badly]]: Ghosts gain power from how well and widely they are remembered.
* [[Government Conspiracy]]: involving {{spoiler|brain implants and ghosts}}.
* [[Grievous Harm with a Body]]
Line 55:
** Then four pages later, [http://www.agirlandherfed.com/1.647.html yes].
* [[MacGuffin]]: [[Lampshaded]] though here's to hoping that they're not what we'd traditionally call a MacGuffin, as they had better explain some things. [http://www.agirlandherfed.com/1.657.html Unless this is a hint from the writer that they won't...]

* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: Zig-zagged all to hell. The Girl seems like a shoe-in for this, being spunky, violent, and spontaneous. But it ends up that she has to spend a lot more effort getting used to Sparky's convoluted conspiracy/spy shenanigans than any effort he'd have to take to get used to her being merely eccentric.
* [[Masquerade]]: At least until {{spoiler|the chips are revealed to the public}} between parts one and two. The ghosts are probably going to remain hidden for a while, though.
* [[No Name Given]]: Both title characters, initially. [[Word of God]] had this was intentional. Their real names are eventually revealed as {{spoiler|Hope Blackwell and Patrick Mulcahey}} respectively.
*** [[Name's the Same]]: As {{spoiler|the priest in [[M*A*S*H (television)|Mash]].}}
* [[Noodle Incident]]: The first time she made a serial killer cry.
** Also, whatever happened in the Fed's college days with a walrus. Mentioned a few times, so it's a [[Brick Joke]].
Line 65:
* [[Planet Eris]]: After {{spoiler|the chips are revealed to the public.}} In the earlier comics it's the [[Masquerade]] (see above).
** After? How about this qoute from the beggining of the strip.
{{quote|
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: So, so much. A Girl, her Fed, the ghost of Ben Franklin, a talking koala....
* [[Ransacked Room]]: [http://www.agirlandherfed.com/1.41.html Here.]
* [[Red Right Hand]]: Clarice Finch with her arm.
* [[Rich Idiot With No Day Job]]: The girl. She has a day job, albeit a really sucky one.
{{quote|
* [[Stop Helping Me!]]: Bitty Bush. Played horribly, nightmarishly straight.
* [[Sunglasses
* [[Take That]]: To the [[Star Wars]] prequels, when The Fed [http://www.agirlandherfed.com/1.346.html mentions that he wants to finally see them], as he loved the original trilogy.
* [[Talk About That Thing]]: [http://www.agirlandherfed.com/1.878.html Here.]
{{quote|
'''Mako''': ''Great! Get me a for god's sake, separate your sentences. [[Deadpan Snarker|With a twist of lime]].'' }}
* [[Talk to the Fist]]: "[http://www.agirlandherfed.com/1.620.html Probably not what they mean when they say good manners make good opportunities...]"
* {{spoiler|[[Technopath]]}}
* [[There Are No Therapists]]: Averted. Hope went to one and "blew twenty grand" when Ben first popped up. Also played straight and subverted with Abraham Lincoln. In the afterlife he has completely lost his mind due to stress from the Civil War, but no one has been able to help him- partially because he seals himself off from almost everyone, Frederick Douglass being one known exception. But apparently getting somebody in hasn't been tried, or if it has been tried, it has...not worked.
* [[The Un-Reveal]]: The identity of the ghost who {{spoiler|set the Pocket President program in motion}}. Further plot developments suggest that 99% of the audience wouldn't have recognized him by name anyway.
* [[Time Skip]]
* [[Took a Level
* [[Verbal Backspace]]: [http://www.agirlandherfed.com/1.671.html Smithback talks about his nephew Mike.]
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: Agents in the program get instant, debilitating migraines when exposed to bright light.
