''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130921194114/http://www.gastrophobia.com/index.php GastroPhobia]'' is a webcomic by David McGuire, about the Amazonian exile and single mom Phobia; her precocious scamp of a son, Gastro; and her recently-acquired, listless slave Klepto. They have adventures in [[Ancient Greece]].
The comic is a series of short stories; while there is continuity, there's little in the way of overarching plot.

Trivia's character design resembles Saphire, Ornitho ''is'' Duke Red, the Bambikles story has several panel layouts that reference the original ''[[Kimba the White Lion]]'' manga and the Dine & Dash story has a gang of bank robbers who combine into a giant centipede, similar to Gadem from ''[[Astro Boy (manga)|Astro Boy]]''.
** The entire Bambikles arc is a direct parody of ''[[The Ringing Bell]]''.
** [[Popeye (comic strip)|Bluto]] makes a cameo [http://gastrophobia.com/index.php?date=2009-10-22 here], followed [http://gastrophobia.com/index.php?date=2009-11-11 a few pages later] by "the cow from ''[[Steamboat Willie]]''".
** The owl in the Bambikles arc looks like Bubo from ''[[Clash of the Titans]]'', and is named Archimedes after the owl in Disney's ''[[The Sword in the Stone]]''.
** [[Hark! A Vagrant|Katie Beaton's Fat Pony]] makes a cameo in the background [http://www.gastrophobia.com/index.php?date=2009-06-12 here].

** "[http://gastrophobia.com/index.php?date=2011-12-01 Horsefield]" parodies the ''[[Garfield (Comic Strip)|Garfield]]'' strips.
* [[Spoiler Opening]]: Appropriately, the "Opening Credits" show Mania a few episodes early.
