Line 18:
* [[Bait and Switch]]: [http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/0437.htm Here.]
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: Guenevere and Morgan early in the space arc
* [[Born Lucky]]: Lancelot has God's favour, and as a consequence will inevitably win any contest he enters. This extends not only to contests of skill, but to games of chance—Westernchance -- Western arc Lancelot does very well at cards—andcards -- and even bets on events that no human being could influence: Arthur once cured his sea-sickness by betting him he'd be stuck with it for the rest of the voyage.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Many, many examples, indicated by characters being against the blank website background; literally "outside" the regular strip.
* [[Cattle Punk]]: The Western arc
* [[Cloning Blues]]: The False Guenevere in the space arc.
* [[Comic Book Time]]: Sort of inverted; the characters have aged during the [[Time Skip|Time Skips]]s, but the contemporary arc is still contemporary, meaning, for example, that Merlin's meetings with [[Barack Obama]] were first shifted to Arthur, and now presumably didn't happen at all, since the President is the right-wing Lucius Roman.
* [[Cool Ship]]: The ''Excalibur'' in the space arc
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Morguase in the modern arc has elements of this trope. Arthur himself is an inversion (somewhat [[anviliciousAnvilicious|anviliciously]]ly so).
* [[Evil Twin]]: The False Guenevere/Fasha.
* [[The Fair Folk]]: Morgan's faerie allies in the baseline and space arcs.
Line 41:
* [[Missed Him by That Much]]: At one point, Lancelot and Galehaut do this for several strips.
* [[No-Paper Future]]: The space arc
* [[Not a Morning Person]]: Arthur, who couldn't stay awake for his son's birth in the contemporary arc, and once spent a battle with [[Space Pirate|Space Pirates]]s in the space arc muttering "I don't want to get up." Also Morguase, by contrast with her son Gawaine.
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Averted with the Elaines; Isolde and Isuelt are given different spellings
* [[Only the Chosen May Wield]]: the Sword in the Stone
Line 56:
* [[Role Called]]
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]
* [[Shameless Fanservice Girl]]: Modern!Guenevere, in a rare "realistic display of nudism" and not "[[Naked People Are Funny|heh, nekkid girl]]" example. She knows about the nudity taboo but genuinely doesn't share it. In an early strip she tries to explain this to modern!Arthur in matter of fact terms, but [[There Are No Girls on the Internet|he doesn't believe her]]—leading -- leading the "camera" to pan over to her computer to show that yes, [http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/0018.htm she was actually using the computer in the nude.]
* [[Shout-Out]]: Many of the secondary characters are based on other comic characters, most notable Elaine of Carbonek, who is [[Narbonic|Helen Narbon]]. (Also, a group of Roman diplomats were based on the actors who've portrayed [[Doctor Who|the Doctor]]).
** Merlin's spells are often lines from classic children's literature in [[Wingdinglish]].
