Girls with Slingshots: Difference between revisions

* Adorkable: [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws565/ Zach].

* [[The Alcoholic]]: Hazel, a petite woman, is to the [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws-1141/ point] of showing no signs of intoxication until her ''ninth'' beer. [[Played for Laughs]], big time.

'''Hazel:''' ''Eight''? Holy shit, I leveled up! }}

* [[All Girls Like Ponies]]: Referenced in [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws452/ this strip.]

** Most of the major gay/bisexual girls are [[Lipstick Lesbian|Lipstick Lesbians]]. Even Mimi is more [[Shorttank]] than she is butch.

* [[Buxom Is Better]]: Jamie, all the way.

'''Jamie:''' You can say it twice. I consider them each a separate legend. }}

* [[Camp Gay]]: Darren, all the way, with a heaping helping of [[Have I Mentioned I Am Gay?]]. The rest of the gay cast are, by comparison, [[Straight Gay]].

* [[Cast of Snowflakes]]: A variety of female (and male) characters with simple but wildly varying body shapes and faces. Even when they dress up as each other for Halloween, it's still possible to tell which character is which.

* [[Cats Are Mean]]: [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/sp-thanksgiving-guest-strip/ Discussed and then subverted].

* [[Character Development]]: Chris started out as a compulsive exaggerator who was universally known for wearing an eye-patch, but becomes a solid recurring character. One strip also [[Lampshade Hanging|hangs a lampshade]] on this trope when no one recognizes Chris until he puts on his eye patch, which he no longer actually needs. He remarks that he knows what his only distinctive characteristic is. It turns out he has another one, but he works pretty hard to keep that one under wraps.

* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws227/ Hazel in this strip].

* [[The Friend Nobody Likes]]: Candy. Candy Candy Candy. A rotten bitch to pretty much everyone, but she's an old friend of Jameson's, so they kind of have to put up with her when Jameson decides to bring her along. Then she pulled that stunt at Jameson's wedding, and Jameson woke up to the fact that "Hey wait, ''I'' don't really like Candy either."

* [[Gag Boobs]]: [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws352/ Jamie]. There's more to her than that, of course...

* [[Gargle Blaster]]: The titular slingshot.

* [[Gender Blender Name]]: Hazel mistakes [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws696/ Jamie's girlfriend Erin] for a man named Aaron.

* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: Threatening to beat a dominatrix has no effect except her [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws752/ admiring your weapon].

* [[Umbrella Drink]]: Because even a [[Gargle Blaster]] tastes better with umbrellas.

* [[Unnecessary Makeover]]: [[In-Universe]]. [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws362/ Maureen], after sex-toy-purveyor Clarice questions her ability to be sexy. Somewhat averted as the makeover doesn't take, and it is specifically stated that the makeover took away what made her sexy in the first place.

* [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist]]: Hazel's at least close, especially early on. She often crosses the line from [[Deadpan Snarker]] into just plain being a jerk, and she's also pretty selfish, and this usually appears for the sake of a punchline. However, on other occasions she shows that she's a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|fairly decent person]]. This seems to have come to a head, in-universe, with Hazel and Zach having a major fight over her immaturity.
