Line 1: {{work}} ''[~~http~~https://~~www~~web.archive.org/web/20130818045220/http://aiacrowd.com/ Alone in a Crowd]'' is a webcomic by Thomas D. Szewc. It revolves around the lives of, among others, Faith, her friend (now adopted sister) Hope and their older sister Sara. The comic as a whole is fairly cheerful and innocent (if not a bit silly), though it will sometimes dip into more serious plots like Aunt Desirae's career in the porn industry and Hope's less than stellar family life (or lack thereof). Not to be confused with [[Alone in Aa Crowd\|the trope]] of the same name. {{tropelist}} * [[Bad Boss]]: When Desirae was starting out, the owner of the studio where she worked used a hidden clause in her contract to force her into make degrading films. Line 11: * [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Hope tends to be overimaginative. Very overimaginative. * [[Comically Missing the Point]]: Aside from Hope doing this quite frequently, Sara does it once, when getting lectured by Kayla. {{quote\| '''Kayla:''' Just ''please'' do me a favor and try to think about yourself now and again, otherwise your life's gonna pass you by before you know it.~~<br />~~ '''Sara:''' You know, you're right! I'm gonna go out and finally buy "[[World of Warcraft]]"! I earned it!~~<br />~~ '''Kayla: NOT WHAT I MEANT!!!''' }} * [[Conspicuous Consumption]]: Hope's parents were very very guilty of this. [[It Got Worse\|Then they discovered gambling.]] * [[Does Not Like Shoes]]: Hope. * [[Fiction 500]]: Implied that Hope's parents were this, as Hope casually drops the names of famous musicians like the [[~~Foo Fighters (Music)\|~~Foo Fighters]] and [[Lady Gaga]]. * [[Flipping the Bird]]: Sara does this [[Breaking the Fourth Wall\|to the audience]] as part of an [[April Fools]] joke strip. * [[Friends ~~With~~with Benefits]]: In one comic, Desirae suggested that Sara and Marty become this much to their mutual annoyance. * [[Genki Girl]]: Hope yet again. * [[Hot Mom]]: More like hot aunt, but Desirae fits this nonetheless. Line 30: * [[Ms. Fanservice]]: In nearly all of her appearances in comic so far, Desirae has been shown wearing something that is either skimpy or revealing. * [[Orphaned Punchline]]: Hope delivers one as part of telling a story to Faith. {{quote\| '''Hope:''' The next day [[What Did I Do Last Night?\|I woke up in a petting zoo dressed like a Power Ranger.]] And that's why I'll never drink that much "Mountain Dew" again!}} * [[Parental Abandonment]]: Hope's parents. * [[Peek-a-Bangs]]: Faith Line 36: * [[Promotion to Parent]]: When their parents died, Sara put her life on hold so that she could look after Faith. * [[Spit Take]]: Faith's response to finding out Hope did better than her on a pop quiz. * [[Splash of Color]]: To emphasize [https://web.archive.org/web/20190614034556/http://aiacrowd.com/archives/629 Faith's adoration for public libraries.] * [[Straight Man and Wise Guy]]: Faith and Hope, respectively. * [[Super Senses]]: Faith has a cat's superior hearing to go with her cat ears. This includes being able to hear ultrasonic frequencies. * [[Tempting Fate]]: Courtesy of an overnight "ghost" hunt: {{quote\| '''Sara:''' I'm just happy that I can finally get back to sleep...~~<br />~~ '''BEEP BEEP BEEP'''~~<br />~~ '''Hope:''' What's that beeping noise?~~<br />~~ '''Sara:''' My alarm clock telling me I have to get up for work now. }} * [[Unsatisfiable Customer]]: Sara runs into a lady who doesn't like sloppy newspaper deliveries. And by sloppy, she means anything not placed directly (and neatly) on her front porch. * [[Unusual Ears]]: Faith has cat ears, and she is quite sensitive about it at times. * [[Word Salad Title]]: An in-universe example. One of Desirae's films was titled "Ultra Bang Force 3: Legend of the Spanking Orc". * [[You Need to Get Laid]]: Desirae is of the opinion that Sara [https://web.archive.org/web/20100111060633/http://www.aiacrowd.com/archivedStrips/153_oct0609.html could desperately use a good ride.] {{reflist}} [[Category:Unclassified Webcomics]] [[Category:Alone in a Crowd]] [[Category:~~Webcomic~~Web Comics]]
