'''''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131227182642/http://isacanddem.com/ ISAC & Dem]''''' iswas a twice-weekly (Tuesdays and Thursdays) [[Web Comic]] by Alexander vanRossum that tends to eschew all concepts of normalcy... or at least, that's what it tries to do. The comic has somehow managed to run for almost a full year now, which is quite impressive, considering the author's usual inability to finish anything.
 
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.
Line 15:
 
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.

This webcomic contains examples of:
* [[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]]...
