Happle Tea
A Web Comic about mythology and other things written by Scott Maynard. It stars a boy named Lil K, who lives with a Sasquatch and has all sorts of wacky adventures. Updates on Tuesdays and Fridays. Can be found here.
Notable about this comic is the author's commentary that accompanies the strips. These are often just as humorous as the comic itself, and grant the reader some insight on mythology.
Tropes used in Happle Tea include:

 |
- Cute Kitten: God usually takes the form of a kitty when he's hanging out with K.
- Frogs and Toads: One strip references the standard Princess and The Frog plot, having K kiss a frog who then turns into a rather gonky princess.

|
"What do you mean you've never met Richard? He has lived here for five years! He delivered your baby! He is the godfather of your child!" |

- Required Secondary Powers: Averted. Helios is not immune to UV radiation.
- Rule of Funny: Exodus's plague of darkness was probably about Yahweh demonstrating superiority over the Egyptian solar deity, Ra, but acknowledging the logic behind the otherwise harmless lack of sunlight wouldn't make for a funny comic.
- Sasquatch: Lil K's roommate.
- Skyward Scream: "FAAAATHER!!! I will avenge you!!"
- Suspiciously Specific Denial: Here.
- Vague Age: How old is Lil K anyway? Even the author isn't sure. He claims to be eleven in one strip, and eight in another.
