Kit n Kay Boodle/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Bile Fascination: The main reason a lot of people keep reading it.
  • Designated Villain: The lawyers and Karostropov. What court and in what case would anyone's "testimony" matter in regards to anything, and what legal agreement, made outside of Yiffburg and with no connection to anyone in it, could make or break Yiffburg's cultural relevance (and I use the term loosely) in the rest of the world? We don't know, but since the only legislation that affects Yiffburg is the sale of boinkberries (which are drugs) it comes off as being similar to the idea of crack dealers nobly fighting back against the evil legislation that makes crack-dealing illegal.
  • Epileptic Trees: At one point in one of the side-stories revolving around the author's family, Gene Catlow reminds Shirlee Mouse that their ancestors "used to EAT mice!", which raises a number of questions about the world the comic takes place in-- if they evolved from ordinary animals, what happened to the humans? Or were they bred out of existence when humans started producing viable offspring with their pets?
    • Kit and Kay's world is superficially the same as the one Gene Catlow has in his comics, at least in the context of character cameos. In Gene's comic world, furries and humans coexist (an ongoing plot point that invokes MANY Race Tropes on its own), so this is sort of an extra-canonical remark (within the superset of shared canon between the two authors, who are friends). Kit 'n Kay generally stays away from Fantastic Racism in favour of its own themes.
  • Fetish Retardant: Despite all the rampant sex, the cartoonish art style definitely kills off what little fetish potential was already there.
  • Mary Suetopia: All of the couples are happily married heterosexuals (except for a single gay couple who showed up only once) with cozy lives who love each other lots and lots and are mutual in their responsibilities and relationships and always offer each other the last chocolate in the box and all that lovey-dovey drivel. The characters are such dull, pleasant people.
    • According to the main characters, the difference between Yiffburg and the outside world is that the outside world has crime and war and sex in private. And no, it's not meant as a joke.
  • Narm: Anytime something bad or "dramatic" happens, to varying degrees. The Nameless Vixen's wordless freak-out when Kit and Kay express their mild disappointment is probably the most extreme.
    • The cosmic orgasms. That is all.
  • Narm Charm: One reason it attracts viewers.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Aunt Matilda... (shudder)
    • "Don't I always go slow and careful as I pass the heart?"
    • The way the artist draws kissing, the faces seem molded together as though the artist was intentional on doing the Zalgo meme.
    • The entire town is pretty much an "Asexual's" "worst nightmare". The "ace" crowd gets "enough" "shaming" for being annoying in the real world.
  • Purity Sue: Yiffburg is populated with them. A foreigner muses to himself about how pure and childlike they are, and Kay at one point explains their inability to understand Karostropov's evil plan is because they aren't capable of comprehending true evil because they're so pure and good.
  • Squick: Both diners and staff vigorously screw in places where food is being served.
    • The side-plots about Katellis' home life have been described as "While it may not be entirely true, it cannot be read as anything other than a reflection of the author's deepest Freudian issues." Hence part of the reason why the author wrote the comic to begin with (I.E. In order to decry the fact that people have to have repressed Freudian issues to begin with).
  • Tastes Like Diabetes: Every time the characters substitute "foxies" (or worse, "lil' foxies") for "foxes."
  • Unfortunate Implications: Anyone who likes wearing clothes outside of work uniforms in Yiffburg (or just prefers not to have anonymous sex in public while on mind-altering substances) is treated as being repressed or somehow deviant, and must be either converted to the Yiffy way of life or destroyed as directed by the Gods of Yiff, of whom the main characters are avatars. They're like Sugar Bowl Furry Chick tracts.
    • Not to mention the (mostly) averted idea of small children being exposed, near 24-7 to this sexuality. Or that sex without Boinkberries is portrayed as just "okay", even with the title couple. Or how about the only modest characters in Yiffburg embracing constant sex when it was previously against their beliefs and calling it "growing up"?
