'''''Kit n Kay Boodle''''' is a [[Furry Comic]] begun in 2001 by Albert Temple, AKA Gene Catlow, under the pseudonym Richard Katellis. It features a married couple of foxes -- named, of course, Kit and Kay Boodle -- who live in the community of Yiffburg. They are ''always'' getting into small problems that are solved in one way and one way only: by [[Yiff|yiffing]] (i.e., sex).
It turns out that they eat a special kind of berry which not only keeps their yiff drives up, but also acts as a contraceptive. Upon finding out that their garden grows exceptionally large Boinkberries, Kit and Kay begin to realize that they are the avatars of the Gods of Yiff, which means that their calling is to do what they've been doing (that is, encouraging people to go around in the fur and [[Insistent Terminology|yiff]]) every minute of every day, only on a grander scale.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world seems (comparatively) normal, but the fact that they're not screwing each other senseless every waking moment causes them to be treated as pariahs by the Yiffburgians; everyone else disdains their furry ways, but the enlightened folk of Yiffburg know in their hearts that if only they opened their minds to constant public yiffing, they would understand.
The exception to this is the Karostropov Dictatorship, which is one part [[Glorious Mother Russia|communist Russia caricature]], two parts [[Take That|furry-fandom indignation]]. Run by an absurdly evil body-hopping spirit entity called Karostropov (who-- horror of horrors-- demands [[Virgin Power|chastity]] from his host body in return for loosely-defined power), it is an [[Evil Empire]] down to the last man, openly and gleefully oppressing {{spoiler|and murdering}} its own citizens [[For the Evulz|for no reason but to highlight how evil and bad it is]], and [[Nature Abhors a Virgin|how horrible abstinence is]], and how good and pure and innocent the residence of Yiffburg are.
Strangely, the comic opts for a cute, cartoonish style, which is a stark contrast to the constant sexual themes.
'''{{color|red|WARNING}}''': This page contains many [[NSFW]] links.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Alliteration]]: "And [Yiffburg's] perpetually pounding population isn't the ''real'' surprise!"
* [[Adult Child]]/[[Man Child]]: Many of the protagonists come across as this.
** The creator can come across as this as well, in the comic segments featuring his avatar. In fact much of the comic's viewpoints can be explained by its creator not emotionally progressing past childhood: "I don't want to wear clothes they're uncomfortable and annoying", "I want to see the fun stuff so don't do it in private", "I want to do fun stuff right now don't make me wait until we're in private", "Everyone who doesn't want me to get what I want is a big ugly meany who just hates people having fun", etc. Combined with the cartoonish art style and simplistic and nonsensical storylines, it starts making a lot of sense.
* [[Always Someone Better|Always Someone Worse]]: You thought Karostropov was [[The Big Bad]]?
* [[Animal Stereotypes]]: In the furry fandom, foxes are considered the most oversexed. It should come as no surprise that Kit and Kay play that stereotype as straight as possible.
* [[Art Style Dissonance]]: A common complaint amidst its detractors.
* [[Author Avatar]]: Katellis' fursona is a cat. Then there's his girlfriend, [[Carnivore Confusion|Shirlee]] [[Species Surname|Mouse]].
* [[Author Tract]]: It is entirely a vehicle for Richard Katellis' views on free love, yiffing, and the plight of the furry community. The world outside of idyllic, nudist Yiffburg is full of monstrous dictatorships and ruthless capitalist states that criticize Yiffburg for being horny layabouts. Any character who doesn't constantly want sex with total strangers is either an evil fascist or a repressed soul, and the answer is invariably anonymous sex, either to defeat or convert them to the yiffy way of life. It doesn't help matters that the story is occasionally interrupted by the author describing the sexual exploits he and his wife have with their parents.
** In case one didn't notice the yiff evangelism element, "Outfox the Tyrant" contains apparent references to ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20110708121935/http://www.carpsplace.com/spire/spire.htm God's Smuggler]''. Boinkberries sound like more fun than bibles, but still!
* [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]: Perhaps most notable with Hokumm, Fleecer, and Bunko; before they convert to Yiff-ism, for lack of a better word, they're wrinkly, warty, fun-house-mirror-like renditions of their animal types; as soon as they start getting laid, however, it's all big cartoon cutesy eyes and smiles.
* [[Broken Aesop]]: The comic's main theme, if it has one, is that yiffing is good and should be appreciated, celebrated, and enjoyed. But then you have Skamm, who tries to keep ahold of his link with Karostropov by reaffirming that the sin of Greed is more powerful than the sin of Lust. By itself that's not so bad, since Skamm's a villain and his views aren't supposed to be seen as the right ones-- but his "lust" is just as sugary and darling as any of the rest of the cast's, and no one protests the use of the term even as they're literally tempting him with sex to get him to understand their viewpoint and free him from Karostropov. So, sex is good, clean, wholesome fun-- but it's still sinful.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: {{spoiler|Kir Kiridan}}
* [[Depraved Homosexual]]: Skamm.
** Though it's worth mentioning that he's not evil because he's gay, he's evil because he represses his sexuality.
*** More like he's closeted because he thinks it will get him more clients and represses his sexuality because the evil force he allied himself with requires it of him. At this point, any evil in him is just there for the sake of it.
* [[Deus Sex Machina]]: Almost ''every'' plot line resolves in the title characters yiffing.
** Two words: Cosmic. Orgasms.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Fleecer looks like a walking penis. Perhaps the author had finally decided to be honest with his readers and just anthropomorphized a cock?
* [[Everybody Has Lots of Sex]]: [[Captain Obvious|Duh!]]
* [[Expy]]: [[Gene Catlow]] and his yiff-mate occasionally appear in the comic.
* [[Fantastic Drug]]: Boinkberries. Imagine if grapes were made of Depo-Provera and Xtasy.
* [[For the Evulz]]: Karostropov. So far there's no indication that he/it as an entity actually gains anything by forcing his hosts to be celibate, or even gives any real benefit to his hosts by possessing them, since he seems to prefer people who already have business sense and a general lack of decent ethics anyway. Mostly it seems like he just wants to kick puppies.
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: The most potent exclamation in Yiffburg seems to be "gosh." The villains, particularly Skamm, show no such restraint.
* [[Hard Gay]]: Kir Kiridan.
* [[Hollywood Sex]]: Apparently, anal sex never requires preperation or lube. Ever.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Bunko and Angela. His erect penis is as large as her torso.
* [[Hurricane of Euphemisms]]: The ''Slanguage'' arch.
* [[The Immodest Orgasm]]: Kit has one that literally propels Kay upward out of the hole they fall into. Twice.
* [[Insistent Terminology]]/[[Unusual Euphemism]]: The comic uses a lot of [[Furry Fandom]] slang.
**
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Strangely averted, except for Katellis' cat [[Author Avatar]] and mouse girlfriend.
* [["It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It"]]: Tawny, Kit, and Kay astrally-raping Queen Serena in order to frame the lawyers, both as "rape-by-trick" and "starting-to-enjoy-it-afterward".
* [[Ki Attacks]]: Less laser-like than is traditional but "yiff energy" is a weapon on its own.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Although the primary focus is Kit and Kay, nearly every storyline seems to introduce more and more secondary characters.
* [[MacGuffin]]: Just about ''any'' plot-centric (usually legal) item the characters are after/opposed to. They're treated as drastically important-- in particular the agreement the lawyers were signing with Queen Serena, the contract being negotiated at the Copulation Club, Bill Blaine's testimony-- but the audience is never shown how any of this even relates to Yiffburg, let alone how they could be so important it's worth rearranging the lives of total strangers for.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Vic Timm (victim) and Dee Muir (demure), the only two residents of Yiffburg who prefer to yiff in the privacy of their own homes rather than in public and (at first) refuse to engage in eating boinkberries. While the characters' first names are Vic and Dee, they're nearly always referred to by their full names, just in case you might miss the significance.
* [[Mind Rape]]: Well, how else would you describe what Kit n' Kay did to Queen Serena.
** Possibly what the island Yiffburg is built on actually does, in the sense that everyone who goes there becomes a mindlessly horny layabout because of the way it "changes" them.
* [[Moral Dissonance]]: Kit and Kay and their friends are pure and good people who would never do anything wrong... except commit ''[[It Makes Sense in Context|long-distance rape]]'' just to frame a law firm. Yep. Pure and good.
* [[Name and Name]]
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Hokumm, Fleecer, Bunko, & Skamm Law Services, Inc. Also, Deceiva and Kuruptus.
* [[Non-Mammal Mammaries]]
** Also: Stork penis.
* [[NSFW]]
* [[Odd Job Gods]]: At least we can only hope they're Odd Job Gods and not, you know, the only gods.
* [[Only Six Faces|Only Six Genitals]]
* [[Parental Incest]]: Richard's fursona and Shirlee have a three-way with his ''mother-in-law''. The author apparently considers these moments to be cute and charming...
** The [[Squick]] reponse is understandable, but in the context of the in-universe outlook towards sex, it's much closer to a platonic love with... um... squick-inducing shared intimacy.
*** Which is why it might not be so bad, if these things only happened ''in-universe.'' Instead, the author devoted a full arc to describing what might be a real life incident.
* [[A Party - Also Known as an Orgy]]
* [[Planet of Hats]]
* [[Plot With Porn]]
* [[Pun
* [[Puppy Dog Eyes]]: [[Depraved Homosexual|Skamm]], of all people, [http://kitnkayboodle.comicgenesis.com/d/20091117.html as seen here.]
* [[Rape as Redemption]]: We don't see much of Queen Serena after the incident with the lawyers, but she is mentioned as having become as horny as everyone in Yiffburg, which is considered a good thing, and not the result of any kind of psychological trauma on her part (especially since she has the mind of a child).
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: Multiple story arcs featuring [[Author Avatar|Kat Ellis]], Shirlee Mouse, and Shirlee's mother. [[Squick|We really hope they're subversions.]]
* [[Really Gets Around]]: Averted, incredibly enough. Although everyone's always banging each other, the relations tend to be almost exclusively monogamous and heterosexual.
** A conscious choice on Kit & Kay's part, as "mutuality" keeps their connection to the Gods Of Yiff (no, really) stronger. Everyone else, on the other hand...
*** Later strips break away from this pattern somewhat by including polyamorous and homo/bi-sexual activities on occasion (but that's only a good thing if you really want to see sappy cartoon-characters getting it on in even more ways).
* [[Schedule Slip]]: Over the course of the comic, Katellis got progressively less prolific. Nowadays, the comic only updates a few times a year and was last updated in January 2017.
* [[Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains]]: Inverted and exaggerated.
* [[Sickeningly Sweethearts]]: Pretty much every pair in the comic, though some of that is due to the cutesy art style.
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Quite Idealistic
* [[STD Immunity]]: Um, yeah. Definitely.
* [[Stealth Parody]]: There is a possibility that the comic is nothing but a giant satire of the sexual side of the [[Furry Fandom]].
* [[Sugar Bowl]]: Disturbingly so.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: It's supposed to be a [[Kick the Dog]] moment, but the death of the guy on the train in the Karostropov Dictatorship is really just because he's a moron. PROTIP: If you know your government has a tendency to kill threats to its leadership, don't commit treason and then brag about how no one would ever hurt you.
* [[Unmoving Pattern|Unmoving Houndstooth]]:To the point where the lawyers start to look like one really big [[Eldritch Abomination]] at points.
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: Maybe not ''that'' unusual considering that it's... well, Yiffburg, but Scam has spent several strips having a conversation with Bunko and Kir while his face is completely covered in... yiff juice. So far nobody's so much as offered him a tissue.
* [[World of Funny Animals]]
* [[Yiff]]: It could not be more obvious.
* [[Happiness Is Mandatory|Yiffing Is Mandatory]]:"Why aren't you yiffing? Everybody must yiff!"
* [[You Fail Biology Forever]]: Well, apart from the myriad problems that would normally be associated with an entire population of an area having constant unprotected sex that Yiffburgians magically don't deal with, often with total strangers with no exchange of personal information beyond names, there's Boinkberries. Males eat the blue ones, females eat the pink ones... but gay bottoms eat the pink ones also, because they have female libidos.
** Then what would a switch or [[Hermaphrodite]] eat? Half of each type berry?
** Fleecer is a proteus/olm, a type of cave-dwelling amphibian that is actually blind and has various other means to sense things in its environment, and it is in fact an endangered species, but their vision has nothing to do with their mating rituals.
** Some animals have penises who clearly shouldn't have them in real life, like a certain bird.
* [[You Fail Economics Forever]]: The town's economy is sustained entirely by its single export, a combination aphrodisiac/contraceptive fruit that everyone in town eats on a daily basis and grows in their homes, to the point where the average citizen doesn't need to work to pay for things and use a credit system. The few characters who actually have jobs in Yiffburg seem to be volunteers in service industries. Despite this, Yiffburg is said to have the lowest unemployment rate in a city of its size. It's possible that yiffing counts as a day job.
** Not sure if this is the author's fail or just the world's, but the rest of the world sees Yiffburg as [http://kitnkayboodle.comicgenesis.com/d/20060502.html "an arrested economy"] with "no money going into it," despite the fact that Yiffburg is effectively the world's biggest drug dealer. The sheer amount of money it would take to keep Yiffburg running the way it does when ''no one works'' would require them to trade boxes of boinkberries for three times their weight in gold bricks.
** It seems some of them have jobs...they just don't work very hard, and freely stop to yiff. [http://www.vivisector.org/vivblog/index.php?/archives/17-Kit-n-Kay-Boodle.html This] article said it best..."I also have no clue how anything gets done in this town if everyone gets to take fuck breaks every ten minutes. The post office is slow enough when those guys just go outside to smoke."
