Blank It
Blank It is a webcomic by Lemuel "Lemmo" Pew and Aric McKeown. It follows two amnesiac author avatars as they wander around a blank, white landscape, dotted here and there with colonies with increasingly bizarre devices and civilizations. Needs More Love.
Provides examples of:
- Added Alliterative Appeal: This strip.
- Amusing Injuries: People certainly get their hands chopped off a lot.
- Applied Phlebotinum: Hand Juice, used for re-growing hands.
- Author Avatar: When assigning themselves names, the characters come up with the names of the comic's creators.
- Beautiful Void
- Blah Blah Blah: The about page.
- According to Google translate, that page is in Irish.
- Body Horror: Chapter 1's hand juice incident is fairly tame as these things go, but Chapter 2 gets bodily horrifying right quick.
- Brick Joke: Many, many examples of this.
- B Side Story: "Spilling the Beans", the intermission after Chapter 1, tells the tale of how one superhero deals with his secret identity being revealed. It's really a Xanatos Gambit by his brother, the real superhero, to defeat his archnemesis the Stare Master.
- Cosmic Playthings: "What are the odds of us having any say in how this turns out?"
- Erudite Stoner: Definitely Lemmo's archetype. Random and seemingly childish at times, but capable of surprising wisdom when it's called for.

Lemmo: [Regarding the inexplicable nature of their universe] It'll bother you less if you think of it as a ride. |
