''[[Geist Panik]]'' is a webcomic by Brian Wilson ([[Name's the Same|not the one]] in the Beach Boys) about a young woman named Riley Hood, who wakes up with amnesia, glowing runes in her oddly colored eyes, and a tattoo of a unicorn on her butt. She quickly discovers that she can see ghosts and other supernatural creatures and decides to do the only sensible thing: Hunt ghosts down for cash.
When the official method of selling spirits proves to be not-so-lucrative, Riley takes to selling the spirits on craigslist... Which prompts her to receive unwanted attention from a mysterious murderer named Lee John and a life sentence of otherworldly service partnered with a Wendigo and a Goblin.

Line 40:
* [[The Drag Along]] -- Riley. She's only where she is because she's got a multiple-life sentence enforced by The Key of Solomon agency.
* [[Enemy Within]] -- Computers occasionally get infected by evil spirits because the ethernet cords are next to the soul tubes. [[And I Must Scream|An Ipod infinitely looping the Jonas Brothers]] is the only method of solving the problem.
* [[Expy]] -- Sevink and Riley were featured prominently in the last arc of ''Hookie Dookie Panic''. Additionally, [
* [[Extra-Strength Masquerade]] -- Aislin grew a tree through the roof of a packed, multi-level mall. Somehow, this was covered up.
* [[Girlish Pigtails]] -- Riley often features childish hairstyles.
Line 63:
* [[Non-Action Guy]] -- Knob, so far. He lets Sevink do all the heavy lifting.
* [[Our Demons Are Different]] -- Natch.
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]] -- [https://web.archive.org/web/20130801062114/http://www.hookiedookiepanic.com/geist/comic.php?ID=58 And very sad.]
** Vampires in this comic take [[Blessed with Suck]] to unbelievable levels, to the point that there's practically no bless in the equation. It's a horrible disease that, without constant runic dialysis filtering your blood, will cause your body to rot and decay, and drive you mad. The victim is pitiably weak, has a horrendous stench, and their skin is turned pitch black (from it constantly necrotising), your hair turns a limp, lifeless grey, and your eyes turn pure red (Probably caused by capillaries in the eyes bleeding out). But it's implied that you can live forever with this disease. [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|Which is exactly as much fun as it sounds.]]
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]] -- Aislin, apparently.
Line 74:
* [[Shout-Out]] -- The third page has what suspiciously looks like a [[Bleach|Hollow]]
** Several.
* [[Take That]] -- "If you wanted to be a sparkly vampire, you could have just rolled around in the glitter aisle at CVS." [https://web.archive.org/web/20130801062114/http://www.hookiedookiepanic.com/geist/comic.php?ID=58 Actually, the entire strip is an extended TakeThat to Twilight.]
* [[Unfazed Everyman]] -- Riley. Poor girl wakes up to find that she can now see beyond [[The Masquerade]] and there's not anything she can do about it but adapt.
* [[Unsound Effect]] -- Practically one in every comic. See the trope page for more info. Notable is Riley's SPAS12, which makes the sound effect... SPAS12.
* [[Wall of Weapons]] -- [
** Or it's just noting the fact it's probably quicker and easier to get [[Don't Explain the Joke|Jesus back on his cross with a nailgun than with a hammer]].
* [[Write Who You Know]] -- Riley. If one ignores all the supernatural stuff.
* [[Written Sound Effect]] -- all over the place. Most notably (and hilariously) with the [
