[http://www.cheercomic.com/ The Wotch: Cheer!] ([http://www.cheercomic.com/?date=2005-08-09 first comic]) is a [[Spin-Off|spinoff]] of [[The Wotch]] [http://www.thewotch.com/\] (obviously). It revolves around the misadventures of four cheerleaders ([[Gender Bender|who used to be]] [[Jerk Jock|jerk jocks]]) at Tandy Gardens High School, [[Extranormal Institute|which is a much stranger place than it seems]]. The main characters include: |

* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]] - Agent 32, pretending to be principal O'Brian. Note that O'Brian was a rather unattractive old ''man'', and Agent 32 is, [[The Vamp|well]]... [[Ms. Fanservice|not.]] And her disguise is to just flirt with whoever asks until they [[Distracted By the Sexy|forget what they were asking about.]] |

* [[Parental Abandonment]] - Alex, who is shown spending Christmas Eve strumming her guitar alone (sniff) and even gets her allowance via direct deposit. |

** [[Ripple Effect Proof Memory|RetGone-Proof Memory]] - Jo still remembers being a boy. Subconsciously, Alex does, too, as evidenced by some of her dreams. Also, ''[[The Wotch]]'' established that the girls' parents know that they used to be boys. |

*** That was more of an [[Author's Saving Throw]], as people were calling out Anne for forcibly changing people against their will, so by saying that, it would be ok (as Cheer does make it clear while they were [[Jerk Jocks]] for the most of it they were still the same people) plus it gets mentioned in [[The Wotch]]. |

*** [[The Wotch|Anne's Feminist Pride]] says that spells can bring forth or diminish personality traits, but can't change personality completely. Thus, the cheerleaders are basically the same people they always were; it's implied their [[Jerk Jock]] behavior in their old life was because they thought that's how jocks ''should'' act. |
