Line 33:
* [[Blood From the Mouth]]: [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=34 Eight out of ten doctors do not approve of it.]
* [[Broken Hero]]: Tessa's DA sketches heavily imply {{spoiler|Hanna}} to be this.
* [[Butterfly of Death and Rebirth]]: Used when [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=11 Zombie first meets Hanna], as they discuss Zombie's background. (Or lack thereof.)▼
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Conrad. The author herself has stated that her favorite pairing is Conrad/Misery.
▲* [[Butterfly of Death and Rebirth]]: Used when [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=11 Zombie first meets Hanna], as they discuss Zombie's background. (Or lack thereof.)
* [[Captain Obvious]]: "''Good freaking Jesus'', this guy loves clocks." [[Lampshade|Lampshaded]] by {...}.
** Hanna pulls one at the very beginning: [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=5 Holy s***! You're dead!]
Line 49:
* [[Embarrassing Middle Name]]: Falk.
* [[Emergency Transformation]]: Conrad's transformation into a vampire.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: If you ask the fans, pretty much every male. [[Dr. Jerk|Worth,]] [[Troubled but Cute|Veser]] and [[The Stoic|{...}]] seem to be big targets.▼
** Not to mention Ples Tibenoch, who more or less had a sexytime following from the word "go". He's only been in a half-dozen strips so far, but the fanfics and fanart starring him number in the high double digits.▼
* [[Filk Song]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPzeZp7-JuY Paranormal Investigator {Still Walking}] would count. Includes a {{spoiler|[[Title Drop]]}} at the end.
* [[Flat What]]: [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=781 "Oh shi-! Conrad, you just gotta keep watch okay? You can't come in because you weren't invited."]
Line 57 ⟶ 55:
** Could also extend to [[Vitriolic Best Buds|Worth and Lamont]].
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: [[Keet|Hanna]] and [[Hot-Blooded|Veser]] are sanguine, [[Dr. Jerk|Doc]] and [[Our Vampires Are Different|Casimiro]] are choleric, [[Your Vampires Suck|Conrad]] and [[Our Ghosts Are Different|Lee]] are melancholic and [[Sugar and Ice Personality|{...}]] and [[Our Werewolves Are Different|Toni]] are phlegmatic.
* [[
* [[Functional Magic]]
* [[Gilligan Cut]]: When bat-form Adelaide tells Conrad to leave, he animatedly expresses his feelings about leaving his own apartment. Next panel is of him and {...} sitting outside the door. "I hate that bat."
Line 70 ⟶ 69:
* [[Immortality Immorality]]: Subverted: Hanna converts Conrad into a vampire after he finds Conrad dead (or maybe only near death). Hanna is all wild-eyed and blood-spattered, and laughs rather maniacally when he succeeds, but still isn't portrayed as a bad person for it, although Conrad has [[I Hate You, Vampire Dad|mixed feelings]].
* [[Impairment Shot]]: Used at least twice--once when a ghost phased through Hanna and he fainted, and again when Worth woke up with a hangover.
* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: Ples and Veser seem to be headed down this path, if concept sketches are to be believed.▼
* [[In Which a Trope Is Described]]: Each of the chapters has a title like this.
▲* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: Ples and Veser seem to be headed down this path, if concept sketches are to be believed.
* [[The Ishmael]]: Zombie seems to be this for Hanna.
* [[Jerkass Facade]]: Conrad, absolutely.
Line 83 ⟶ 82:
*** Hanna has a cross on the bottom of his [http://vert-is-ninja.deviantart.com/art/After-All-This-Time-155094756 shoe], with a matching scar.
*** When Hanna sews {...}'s arm back on, he uses a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|cross-stitch]]. [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=118 It's even highlighted in white against a black silhouette.]
▲* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: If you ask the fans, pretty much every male. [[Dr. Jerk|Worth,]] [[Troubled but Cute|Veser]] and [[The Stoic|{...}]] seem to be big targets.
▲** Not to mention Ples Tibenoch, who more or less had a sexytime following from the word "go". He's only been in a half-dozen strips so far, but the fanfics and fanart starring him number in the high double digits.
* [[Noodle People]]: Even [[Word of God|Tessa]] has described most of her male cast members as being "heroin thin".
* [[Occult Detective]]: Hanna's profession, and now Zombie's. How good Hanna is at his job is... debatable, thus far.
Line 93 ⟶ 94:
* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]
* [[Peek-a-Boo Corpse]]: {{spoiler|Lee}}
▲* [[Power Trio]]: Hanna, Conrad, and the zombie. Unpredictable but brilliant Hanna is [[The Kirk]], [[Only Sane Man]] Conrad is [[The McCoy]], and the imperturbably calm zombie is [[The Spock]].
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Though the characters swear plenty of times in the comic, it's usually censored. The [[Symbol Swearing]] is dropped during more tense moments to reflect the seriousness of the situation.
** Hanna delivers an uncensored F-strike when trying to [[Emergency Transformation|bring Conrad back to life]]. [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=89 It works.]
