* [[Fun With Foreign Languages]]

* [[Framing Device]] / [[Kayfabe]]: It's pretty clear that the Comic Irregulars haven't ''really'' been making comics since before the universe began, but that's the story.

** [[Anachronism Stew]]: References to modern technology and concepts, and the use of modern vocabulary (like "dude"), pop up long before their invention.

** [[Eternal English]]: Plenty of the comics are in ''nonsensical'' English, but English nevertheless, even though most of them were written before the English language came into being.

** [[Non Linear Character]]: A possible explanation for the anachronisms. Either that or the Comic Irregulars are time travellers.

** [[Non-Linear Character]]: A possible explanation for the anachronisms. Either that or the Comic Irregulars are time travellers.

** [[Time Abyss]]: Did we mention "making comics since before the universe began"? Even if they ''are'' time travellers, there are literally ''trillions'' of comics, sloppily [[Cut and Paste Comic|drawn]] and [[Dada Comics|written]] though they may be. To create them all manually would require an absurd amount of time.

** [[The Web Always Existed]]

* [[Heh Heh You Said X]]: [http://www.mezzacotta.net/archive.php?date=-569-02-16 This strip.]

* [[In Soviet Russia Trope Mocks You]]

* [[In Soviet Russia, Trope Mocks You]]

* [[Mad Scientist]]

* [[No Fourth Wall]] - the sheer number of strips make it impossible to say if [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|fourth wall breaking]] happens constantly or not, but at least [http://www.mezzacotta.net/archive.php?date=-99-11-18 this strip] is an example. And [http://www.mezzacotta.net/archive.php?date=616-11-21 this].

** [http://www.mezzacotta.net/archive.php?date=1569-02-14 This strip] is even a [[Shout Out]] to [[TV Tropes]] itself.

* [[Ruined FOREVER]] - the first line in the first comic is "I think this comic is going downhill." If so, it's been doing so since before the universe existed, so it must either be pretty horrible now or have been ''really'' good at some point before.

* [[~~Sturgeons~~ Law]] - mitigated by the inclusion of a Hall of Fame for top-rated comics.

* [[Sturgeon's Law]] - mitigated by the inclusion of a Hall of Fame for top-rated comics.
