Chase Connors. Power: Having moxie.

Created by some artist cough, Scott, cough, Nerf This follows the adventures of the aggressively stylish Chase Connors, his horribly adorable pet monster Monty and their group of oddball friends. Updating Monday. Wednesday and Friday, this Web Comic has been running since March 2009 and is still being updated regularly.

The series is notable for its Mundane Fantastic universe and its later strips being more plot orientated as opposed to a joke per strip comic. Better Than It Sounds

• Abandoned Info Page: The cast page is a few story arcs behind and missing several main characters.
• Archive Binge: Once you start reading, especially once the main plot sets in, it's hard to find a place to stop.
• Art Evolution: Later comics are noticeably sharper and more detailed than the earlier comics.
• Beta Couple: Tony and Steph, engaged almost from the get-go.
• Birds of a Feather: Taryn and Chase, so alike it's creepy.

  • Also, Monty during the rescue from the carnival. Chase goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge for him.
• Fun Personified: Chase's happy-go lucky nature means he's usually up for anything.

• Rape Is OK When It Is Female On Male: And how, poor Chase is usually the one to end up duct taped in a carboot.
• A Real Man Is a Killer: Almost a word for word quote:

Taryn's Father: A man's hands aren't meant for hugging. They're meant for killing.

• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Chase and Tony, most easily seen when they were children.
• Snarky Non-Human Sidekick: Literally, Taryn's monster is called Snarky.
• Testosterone Poisoning: Taryn's Dad, natch. Killed 50 bears and has a Ragestache capable of inducing puberty.
