----
=== This comic features examples of: ===
 
* [[Ambiguous Innocence]]: Lenore
* [[And Call Him George]]: This is pretty much guaranteed to happen whenever Lenore gets a pet.
* [[Animated Actors]]: Not really actors, but [[Jesus Was Way Cool|Jesus]] still appeared for a few seconds, [[Rule of Symbolism|jumping and applauding a magician's show]].
* [[Animated Series]]
* [[Anti -Hero]]: Ragamuffin, Pooty
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Lenore, every time she wants to kill Mr.Gosh for stalking her.
* [[Badass]]: Ragamuffin as a vampire.
Line 33 ⟶ 29:
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Mr.Gosh for Lenore.
** He actually deserves to be the [[Butt Monkey]] soley on account of not being able/willing to take a hint, but what he gets put though is still [[Disproportionate Retribution|a bit much]]... Thankfully, [[Immortal Life Is Cheap]].
* [[Can't Get in Trouble For Nuthin']]: Lenore cuts a woman's nose off in the middle of the street and no one sees her. Lenore kills Mr. Gosh and no one wonders what happened to the guy. Lenore kills an entire group of kids at a birthday party and she hasn't been discovered by anyone. Except the {{spoiler|birthday girl, who tries to give a call to the police, but she's killed by accident in the very last moment.}} Although she doesn't do these things on purpose ([[Alternate Character Interpretation|or perhaps she does]]), Lenore is an authentic [[Karma Houdini]] .
* [[Not Growing Up Sucks|Can't grow up]]: Lenore.
* [[Casanova]]: It's implied in Pooty's case, even though he's just a thing formed of two small buckets, that carries a trident.
Line 40 ⟶ 36:
* [[Chew Toy]]: Almost everyone, except Lenore... She's of course the one doing the chewing.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Lenore. Well, she's still a kid after all...
* [[The Cloud Cuckoolander Was Right]]: Many instances in which Lenore is ''indeed'' right, no matter how absurd they can be.
* [[Complete Monster]]: In-universe, Ragamuffin, before he met Lenore.
** He actually is after he met Lenore, too, it's just that his new form greatly reduces his capability of wreaking destruction and mayhem.
** Not so much after he met Lenore, because if he was, he would have killed her (as he wanted to do in the first issue in which he appeared) or at least he would have left her when he was turned into a vampire again. Even more, he was so protective of her that he {{spoiler|slaughtered a hundred zombies}}.
* [[Covert Pervert]]: Although he's from [[Hell]], you still wouldn't expect a '[[Animate Inanimate Object|thing]]' like Pooty to be this.
{{quote| '''Ragamuffin:''' Pooty, I...I never liked you, but what you did was so noble. Stay with us, buddy, stay with us.<br />
'''Pooty:''' It...it hurts so bad. Also, you're touching my left nipple which feels disturbingly nice. }}
* [[Creepy Child]]
Line 62 ⟶ 58:
* [[Fan Art]]: Some of it, [http://www.zerochan.net/Lenore+The+Cute+Little+Dead+Girl?q=Lenore+The+Cute+Little+Dead+Girl here].
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Lenore blowing into Mr.Gosh's belly button. And Pooty [[Brain Bleach|making love to a goat]].
{{quote| '''Lenore:'''I don't want to get naked with the bears! And stop trying to stick that in me!}}
* [[Goth|Gothic]]
* [[Grotesque Cute]]: Lenore
* [[Hell]]: The place where Lenore runs from... or a dimension that looks exactly like it. In either case it smells like fritos.
* [[Hey, ItsIt's That Voice!]]: Ragamuffin is voiced by Roman Dirge, the creator himself.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Ragamuffin as a vampire and Lenore.
* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: Lenore and Ragamuffin. Their biological age difference is 10-20 years (Lenore being 10 years old and Ragamuffin 20-30 years old) and their real age difference is 300 years (Lenore has been 10 for 100 years and Ragamuffin has been 20-30 for 400 years).
* [[The Jail BaitJailbait Wait]]: [[Lolicon|Averted, as Mr. Gosh doesn't wait for Lenore to grow up to hit on her]]. Plus, Lenore [[Not Growing Up Sucks|can't even grow up physically]].
* [[Jerkass]]: Lenore and Pooty. And even Ragamuffin, sometimes.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Lenore.
Line 78 ⟶ 74:
* [[Live Action Adaptation]]: Well, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7UQPko0wv4 just a trailer.]
* [[Lolicon]]: Mr. Gosh. It's definitely [[Played for Laughs]], but letting the joke aside, the guy is obviously [[Unfortunate Implications|obsessed with a ten year old girl]], physically speaking, as Lenore is probably [[Older Than They Look|much older mentally than she looks]], even though [[The Ditz|she doesn't show it]].
{{quote| '''Ragamuffin:''' Look, man, I don't know what your problem is, but your reign of harassment ends now or I'll cut you, bitch. She's a ten year old girl anyway. You even realize how creepy you are?<br />
'''Mr. Gosh:''' Yeah, but she's been 10 for a loooooong time now, man. }}
* [[Looks Like Cesare]]: Vampire Ragamuffin.
Line 84 ⟶ 80:
* [[Mad Love]]: Mr. Gosh's love, or more appropriate, obsession, for Lenore
* [[Nightmare Sequence]]: Pumpkin head. He absolutely ''adores'' children...[[Child Eater|with butter]].
* [[No Hugging, No Kissing]]: The fact that Lenore despises Mr. Gosh's attempts of '[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|loving]]' her is clear proof that the characters live in this kind of world.
* [[Not Quite Dead]]: Lenore. After she is {{spoiler|sent to Hell}}, Ragamuffin {{spoiler|unburies her and discovers she has ran away from there and that she's still living}}.
* [[Obliviously Evil]]: Lenore.
Line 92 ⟶ 88:
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Extreme cases in Lenore and Ragamuffin. The first one looks like she's ten, but she's actually 100 years old and the second one looks like he's probably twenty and something, but he's actually 400 years old.
* [[One Head Taller]]: Lenore and Ragamuffin, in his human-vampire form.
* [[One -Man Army]]: Ragamuffin ''massacres'' {{spoiler|tenths if not hundreds of dead Nazi soldiers, that carry ultimate weapons.}}
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Ragamuffin is the only one who thinks clearly and logically when it's necessary, despite his diabolic nature.
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: [[Darker and Edgier|They eat people instead of drinking their blood.]]
* [[Platonic Life Partners]]: Lenore and Ragamuffin. Except someone wouldn't normally expect them to be together like that, because she's a child ([[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|or not]]) and he's a rag doll for the most part of the comics. Unfortunately ([[Your Mileage May Vary|or fortunately]]), there is always the [[Fan -Preferred Couple|fandom]] and its [[Alternate Universe Fic|alternate versions of the story]].
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Lenore and Ragamuffin.
* [[The Power of Blood]]: When Lenore pricks her finger and spills a drop of blood on a doll. It turns out to be a vampire that was cursed to be an inanimate plaything, and her blood broke the curse. Unfortunately, he realizes he's still in a doll's body because the curse didn't break properly due to the fact that she is dead.
{{quote| '''Ragamuffin:''' Something's wrong. Your blood should have turned me to my own self. Unless something is wrong with your blood?<br />
'''Lenore:''' I've been embalmed!<br />
'''Ragamuffin:''' <[[Face Palm]]> }}
* [[Reluctant Monster]]: Taxidermy.
* [[Sealed Evil in Aa Teddy Bear]]: Ragamuffin oh so very much.
* [[Self -Insert Fic]]: Roman Dirge appears in the first episode, as a shop boy.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Lenore was inspired by the poem ''Lenore'' by [[Edgar Allan Poe]].
* [[Single -Target Sexuality]]: Mr. Gosh is Lenoresexual.
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: With Ragamuffin.
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: Mr.Gosh with Lenore.
* [[Strange Girl]]
* [[Surreal Humor]]: Well, not through and through, but when the main character is a [[Token Mini MoeLoli|10 year old]] [[Undead Child]] / [[Enfant Terrible]] who spends most of her time in [[Cloudcuckooland]], this trope does get invoked from time to time.
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]: Ragamuffin, in his original form.
* [[True Companions]]: Lenore's friends, who always help her everytime she gets into trouble.
* [[Those Wacky Nazis]]: Zombie versions of dead nazi soldiers {{spoiler|ascend from Hell after Lenore accidentally releases them}}.
* [[Undead Child]]
* [[Vomit Indiscretion Shot]]: In the first episode, Lenore kills all the hamsters from a Pet Shop. When the guy who sells at the shop sees the massacre, he throws up.
* [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]]: Ragamuffin, {{spoiler|when he fights the nazi zombies that come from Hell}}.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Too many instances in which both Lenore and Ragamuffin can be called this. Even though [[Anti -Hero|they're not exactly heroes]].
{{quote| '''Lenore:''' I don't do guilt.}}
