Leftover Soup

Leftover Soup is a Web Comic produced by Mason "Tailsteak" Williams. It is a Slice of Life web comic based on the life of Jamie the Supreme Chef, Ellen the Geek and her best friend Maxine the Lovable Sex Maniac. Other characters have appeared -- for example, Lily, Ellen's boss, who Does Not Like Men -- but the primary focus is on those three.

Ellen. She's a chaotic-good half-celestial half-dragon half-nymph half-elf ninja-artificer-psion-paladin-of-freedom.

Leftover Soup ran for 1000 strips, plus thirty epilogue strips. It is now complete.

Tropes used in Leftover Soup include:

Author Appeal: Jamie shares his creator's hobby of making homemade board games. His expertise in the kitchen is also inspired by Williams' interest in experimental cooking.
The Bechdel Test: The author notes in The Rant that Ellen and Maxine playing "Spambot!" qualifies.
Black Comedy Rape: When Ellen and Jamie first meet.

Ellen: I'm technically not supposed to let people in I don't know, but you don't look too creepy.
Jamie: Um... thanks, I guess. I promise not to rape you or anything.
Ellen: Yes, that's very comforting.

The joke is extended a couple times in the same storyline.

Does Not Like Men: Ellen refers to Lily as a real-life "feminazi" -- which is not true, as Lily denies being a feminist.
Drinking Game: Ellen and Maxine make one in-universe from one of Jamie's homemade board games.
Eats Babies

Best roleplaying moment: Ate a baby, managed to convince GM she was still neutral good.

Extreme Omnivore: Ellen's palate is ... less refined than Jamie's.
Gender Blender Name: Exploited by Jamie (Benjamin) to gain a chance to rent a room from Ellen, despite her "Female Roommates Only" requirement.
- Max(ine) also uses a Gender Blender Name because she goes by Max.
Grievous Harm with a Body: The Best Roleplaying Moment for Ellen's character.
If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...: Jamie gets one and then another. It's not his first, though.
I Like My X Like I Like My Y: The cast page describes everyone's taste in partners via this. Best so far, for the misandric Lily: "Likes her men like she likes her coffee: Roasted, ground up and soaked in boiling water."
Improbable Weapon User: Jamie Halligan's weapon is, appropriately enough, a Halligan bar.

Tailsteak: In terms of D&D stats, the Halligan bar would be considered an improvised weapon for anyone else (-4 penalty), but Jamie is considered proficient in its use. It does d6 damage, which can be bludgeoning, slashing or piercing. Jamie's particular copy is considered masterwork.

Instant Web Hit: Ellen is Answering Machine Bitch.
Let Us Never Speak of This Again: Jamie and Max's first meeting.
Major Injury Underreaction: "Okay, well NOW I need medical attention..."
Mistaken for Racist: When Jamie meets Wallace.
Mood Whiplash: From goofy Pulp Fiction take-off to critically injured pet in two pages.
Never Tell Me the Odds: Inverted in this page's author notes.
Nobody Poops: Lampshaded in The Rant.
No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup: ...no documentation, no original creator, no sense...
Polyamory: Max is currently in an open ... fivesome?
Rules Lawyer: Ellen. (For those in the audience not familiar with AD&D 3.5, The Rant contains a helpful analogy.)
Running Gag: The profusion of things abbreviated as "TP". The aforementioned coffee gags on the cast page also count.
Shout-Out: To Homestuck, when Ellen wears some of The Merch in a few strips.
- Also this. "I AM CORNHOLIO!"
Status Quo Is God: Double Subverted.

Tailsteak: ALL PROBLEMS ARE NOW SOLVED FOREVER.

Supreme Chef: Jamie can turn Rice Krispies back into rice, and make bread pudding without bread or eggs.
Suspiciously Specific Denial: Discussed Trope early on in the context of the Black Comedy Rape joke.
Total Party Kill: Orchestrated by Lily to force the gaming group to update to 4th edition D&D.
What Is This Thing You Call Love?: Apparently, Max's half-fey thri-kreen bard in their 3.5e D&D character has found this to be a great pickup line. Twelve times and counting.
Will They or Won't They?: Ellen and Jamie. Ellen says, "Absolutely not, never, no way." Max has twenty bucks on "will". Odds may or may not be in Max's favor.
