John is an MS Paint Stick Figure Comic by Jack Saint. It tells the story of a stick figure named John who has disturbingly inane adventures with his friend Larry. Whilst appearing occasionally to resemble a Slice of Life comic, it then decides to throw in a pet dinosaur named John Jr. Keep in mind that totally makes sense because in the previous chapter John was suffering from Heroin Withdrawal and had halucinations that another pal of his, Reggie built a time machine and they changed time and became Dinosaurs, but it was of course all just a withdrawal-induced dream.
Tropes used in John include:
- Everything's Better With Dinosaurs - The Recovering Dinosaur chapter. Keep in mind it's all a dream. Well unless you count the pet Dinosaur.
- Hilariously Abusive Childhood - Well his mom is a hooker, and his Dad is kinda special, so I guess John had it pretty rough. He's also a failed abortion.
- The Smart Guy - Reggie.
- Heterosexual Life Partner - John/Larry, Reggie/Kevin, Alec/Ralph
- Too Dumb to Live - An accurate description for most John characters, most notably John, Kevin, John's Dad and Doctors A & B
- Cool Pet - John Jr
- Exactly What It Says On the Tin - It is about a guy called John.
