'''''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131227182642/http://isacanddem.com/ ISAC & Dem]'''''
In a world that generally expects webcomics to be created digitally, the author of ''ISAC and Dem'' tends to use rough pencil drawings, sometimes accented with colored pencils, and they are generally hastily scanned the night before they are scheduled to go online, even though each individual comic is generally produced weeks in advance. For some reason, common sense escapes the author -- or perhaps he's just lazy. Empirical evidence, however, suggests that he hates his scanner. It's probably a malicious, vile beast that feeds on the souls of unwitting users.
Like this article, the comic rarely makes sense. One time, there was a story arc that went on for like, six months or some other, more accurate time period, where the lead robot was trapped in a ''[[Dungeons
The comic surprisingly revolves around the stories of ISAC (the lead protagonist) and Dem (a robot who can often generate any sort of anything that he needs to create for any sort of situation) as they run the aptly named ISAC and Dem Incorporated (Formerly "ISAC's Sub-Intelligent Bots") after Dem, a major investor in ISAC's company, decided that ISAC was running the company like a drunken monkey with a mental disability (much as the author would), and gave the ultimatum that if ISAC wanted to keep his investors, Dem would be running the company from now on.
Line 12:
ISAC is an acronym. No one, including the author, knows what this acronym stands for, even though it's been in use for a long time.
The author insists that ''ISAC and Dem'' is not a gaming comic, yet somehow, the comic tends to revolve around games.
This article seems to have a lot of content that isn't actually explored in the comic yet. It stands to reason that the author wrote this tropes page at the very insistent prodding of friends, even though he doesn't really think that the comic is actually worth anything.

* [[Atlanta]]: referenced at least once. It's where the author lives.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: fluctuates strip to strip. Sometimes ISAC appears to be addressing the reader, other times unaware of them.
Line 25:
* [[Jet Pack]]: so cool, Dem wants one even though he can already fly.
* [[Meta Mecha]]: in one strip, ISAC is sitting on the shoulder of a much larger, similar-looking robot.
* [[No Mouth]]: ISAC and Dem both display this characteristic - with one exception where Dem was seen drinking a [http://isacanddem.com/?p=368 superfood smoothie]{{Dead link}} in a typical (for the strip) example of [[Irony]]
* [[Retro Rocket]]: ISAC wants to fly one "one day"...except it doesn't represent going to space?
* [[Shout-Out]]: Where to begin? [[Angry Birds]], [[Firefly]], [[Jericho]], [[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]], [[Pixar]], [[Over the Hedge (animation)|Over the Hedge]], [[CSI: Miami]]...
