Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures: Difference between revisions

** Even Dan has shown ''some'' skill with this trope: He has to fake being somebody's boyfriend? He tells his ''real'' girlfriend all about it, [[Not What It Looks Like|preventing possible misunderstandings.]]

* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Abel's Story is much darker than the main comic.

* [[Dead Little Sister]]: Fa'Lina's entire clan was killed.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[Didn't See That Coming]]: [[Sarcasm Mode|Used utterly sincerely when someone heard Abel's snark]]!

* [[Did We Just Have Tea With Cthulhu?]]: [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_805.php Here.]

** [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1097.php Alexsi seems quite happy here...]

** All but confirmed [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1107.php here].

* [[Distracted By the Sexy]]: [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1188.php clotheslesscubiclotheslesscubiclotheslesscubi...]

* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]: Mab's official biography once stated that "Mab has a deep seated dislike of wearing shoes."

* [[Doomy Dooms of Doom]]: Behold Azlan's [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|squeaky koala doll]] '''[http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_136.php OF DOOM!]'''

* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Dan, with his long hair, fluffy wings, and <s> dress</s> robe, gets mistaken for a woman all the time. Sometimes he hates it, but sometimes he uses it to his advantage...

* [[It Seemed Like a Good Idea At The Time]]: Abel explicitly [[Discussed Trope|discusses]] this with Dan at [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1207.php one point].

* [[I Want Grandkids]]

** Cyra may be this, though in her case it's great grandkids. Seeing her only family left alive are Destina and Dan, this isn't surprising.

** May, Abel's mother, [http://missmab.com/Comics/Abel_29.php apparently desires them as well].

* [[Random Drop]]: After rescuing Alexsi from Biggs, Mab calls dibs on the dropped loot as if it were an MMORPG quest, and wins a [[Blade On a Stick|voulge]]. [[Cloudcuckoolander|This is Mab]] [[Reality Warper|we're talking about]].

* [[Reason You Suck Speech]]: In Abel's Story, delivered by {{spoiler|Aaryanna}} to Abel.

* [[Retired Badass]]: Dan, who is a retired adventurer. Because of the humor, readers tend to lose sight of this.

* [[Retired Monster]]: Destania

** Which is a [[Continuity Nod]] to the even earlier strip ''[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_114.php here]''

* [[Schedule Slip]]: The Author is frequently sick. Doesn't seem to matter as her viewers are addicted to the comic, but it's noticeable. Amber also suffers frequent obnoxious computer breakdowns preventing her from working on the strip. Recently, she started posting rough colored strips that lack fine shading and background details to give the fans their fix of updates sooner than her production schedule would otherwise allow, posting the finished page once completed. The community reaction has been positive to this initiative.

** The Dark Pegasus ''[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1146.php shirts for no one!]''

* [[Sexy Backless Outfit]]: Expect any winged Creature to wear one of these at least once, though the purpose for wearing is generally not for [[Fan Service]]. [[Buxom Is Better|Fa'Lina]] may be a more traditional example, however.

** Also, look carefully at what is exposed of the [http://www.missmab.com/Demo/Leader15.php Clan Mink] page. Can't see it? {{spoiler|"Status: [[Portal (Video Game)|This was a triumph! I'm making a note [obscured by speech bubble] success!!]]"}}

** [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1182.php This comic] contains a shout out to a [[SpongeBob SquarePants (Animation)|certain song.]]

* [[Telepathy]]: Cubi can hear thoughts. [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_555.php YES they can!]

* [[This Banana Is Armed]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] [http://www.missmab.com//Comics/Vol_092.php here].

* [[Timmy in A Well]]: Referenced several times, and subverted [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_496.php here].

* [[Toplessness From the Back]]: Mab gets this a lot, as do many other girls.

* [[Walls of Text]] (lampshaded)

* [[We Could Have Avoided All This]]: At several points, [[Third-Act Misunderstanding|major relationship problems crop up which could have been avoided with a little honesty when they first became relevant]]. {{spoiler|They generally avoid the problems by [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1067.php being] [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1074.php honest] when it first becomes relevant}}.

** The Fae arc. {{spoiler|Wait, you mean at least two characters are going to ''die''?!}}

** Even earlier than that, in the Queen Mab arc: {{spoiler|Wait, Mab is ''planning'' something?}}

*** {{spoiler|''Cubi can't dream.'' Said Abel right before he woke up. If it isn't a dream, then what is it?}}

** Chapter 14. The revelation that {{spoiler|Dan is an incubus}} is so [[Retool|central to what comes after]] that it's hard to even talk about later arcs without giving it away.

** More accurately, [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1193.php wham text,] but still, Abel's father, Aniz Siar, is pronounced deceased for twenty-seven years, {{spoiler|killed by Quintinga Ti'Fiona.}} In other words, {{spoiler|Abel's father, whom he'd vowed revenge on, although having cryptically told Dan it was "no longer an option," was killed by Dan's father's first wife, Alexis's mother; bear in mind also that ''Dan's'' mother was a bitter former lover of Abel's father}}.

** Earlier, "Destania must be so proud to have an incubus like you for a son!"
