''[http://pandora.xepher.net/daily Daily Grind]'' is a [[Webcomics Long Runners|long-running]], [[Funny Animal|talking animal]] webcomic by Michael H. Payne that's [[What Do You Mean
As an action/adventure series that's posted ten (10 panel Long) pages a week since the last day of February 2005 but switched to three pages a week somewhere between 2005 and 2023, it's probably hit - or is going to eventually hit - all the [[Action Adventure Tropes]]; the artwork falls solidly into the 90% dictated by [[
* [[The Hero]] is the snake, Howlett Creager, the founder of Daily Grind. He's also a [[Celibate Hero]], not only because his [[Love Interests|love interest]] is a mammal and Howlett seems uncertain how that would work physically, but also because, even though he's only five years older than the aforementioned love interest, he was her [[Wife Husbandry|legal guardian]] for the five years before she turned 18. So thinking about sex with her gives him a bit of the [[Squick]]. A variation on the theme: Howlett's love interest is [[The Big Guy]] - or Big Gal in this case - rather than [[The Chick]].

* [[The Chick]], then, would be the moth Constance Teasdale, but she pretty much [[Averted Trope|averts]] all the listed characteristics of [[The Chick]].

She's almost literally a [[Black Widow]], too, due to the unfortunate circumstances surrounding her husband's death, becoming an [[Ice Queen]] as a result — though she's begun [[Defrosting Ice Queen|defrosting]] lately due to the attentions of Alban Sathmont, [[Our Fairies Are Different|a prince of the Fae]] who's been courting her.

* [[Bigger Bad]]: During one of their jobs, Daily Grind unearths a creature known as the Nulla Lucis, and [[Satan|old Scratch himself]] comes to them for help disposing of her.
* [[Lawful Stupid]]: Steven Aramis was adopted as a child by the [[Ancient Conspiracy|Sons of the Black Swan]] and has devoted his life to following their by-laws — {{spoiler|even when it turned out that, to follow the by-laws, he had to kill all the other members of the group...}}. Later subverted the "stupid" part when {{spoiler|he dropped the necessary hints to the group's new leader such that the by-laws would be changed before Steven got around to killing the members/ex-members who Steven felt were actually innocent of actual wrong-doing.}}
