Line 1: {{work}} ~~{{quote box\|~~[[File:newshoundsfuture01.gif\|frame]]}} '''''[http://www.newshounds.com/ Newshounds]''''' and its continuing series ''[[Newshounds II]]'' are a [[Webcomics Long Runners\|long-running]] [[Furry Comic\|Furry]] [[Web Comic]] by Thomas K. Dye. It's about a human woman, Lorna, and the six (originally four) dogs, one cat and one rat she has adopted and employed to work in television news. The original strip lasted from November, 1997 to December, 2006. The continuation started in July, 2007. In the original ''Newshounds'' comic strip run, the team ran KPET, a television channel operating out of Lorna's home. Line 14: In ''Newshounds II'', the comic developed a more page-oriented layout, with the entire team moving on to Mega News West to moderate video blogs. {{tropelist}} ~~=== ''[[Newshounds]]'' has the following tropes: ===~~ * [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20150504011032/http://newshounds.keenspot.com/d/20100426.html here] * [[Asshole Victim]]: Randy, you know, Della's cousin who used Sam for his money, cheated on him, got Della kicked out by her owners, {{spoiler\|and sold out Rochelle? She was sold to a lab and experimented on, not even her new eyepatch earned her any sympathy}} * [[Attempted Rape]]: {{spoiler\|Sam's new boss Slab tries to rape him after seeing him being chummy with Nigel. Sam does a [[Groin Attack]] and the two fight each other until the police arrive.}} * [[Brainwashed]]: {{spoiler\|Wolfram has been brainwashed into thinking he has always been a fighting dog and doesn't recognize Rochelle, his wife.}} * [[But You Screw One Goat!]]/[[Rape Asas Drama]]: Slab Hannibal, a human who has sex with dogs. The [[But You Screw One Goat!]] trope is played with -- the dogs in the series are sentient and verbal, and are perfectly capable of making informed decisions and saying yes or no, sidestepping a lot of the [[Squick\|Squicky]] moral consent questions usually associated with sex with animals. But Hannibal ''rapes'' his canine bodyguards. He tried to rape Sam, but he fought back. * [[Cerebus Syndrome]]: Can anyone still remember when this was a light but somewhat political [[Gag A Day]] comic? * [[Closet Key]]: Nigel. Alistair was ''already'' uncloseted when he and Nigel met, but Alistair's relationship with Nigel brings out his [[~~Straight~~Invisible ~~Gay~~to Gaydar]] side. * [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Ferris. * [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Hal O'Peridol was more delusional than corrupt, but then there's General Swallowemup and several executives that the KPET crew interviewed back in the gag-a-day days. Line 29: * [[Funny Background Event]]: There would often be a panel showing some people watching KPET at home while doing something. * [[Furry Comic]] * [[Lions and Tigers ~~And~~and Humans, Oh My!]] * [[Love Hurts]]: Kevin brooding over Stormy, and then again over Della when she's stranded far away. * [[Mega Corp]]: Swallowemup/Kerslake Enterprises. Also AOL once attempted a military takeover of Starbucks. Line 39: ** Kevin and Della. * [[Psychic Powers]]: Renata somehow develops these in ''Newshounds II''. Up to and including [[The Omniscient\|near-omniscience]]. * [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Quite figuratively ''red'' and ''blue'', with conservative Sam and liberal Alistair. * [[Shout -Out]]: To [[TV Tropes]] (or [[Websnark]]), with [https://web.archive.org/web/20100527085215/http://newshounds.keenspot.com/d/20100524.html this page]'s reference to [[Cerebus Syndrome]]. And to [[Monty Python's Flying Circus]] [http://newshounds.keenspot.com/nh1/20011213.html here] with an extra: {{quote\| '''Cat''': Geez, I'll be late for my Fresh Fruit Defense class... }} * [[Spit Take]]: Subverted. * [[~~Straight~~Invisible ~~Gay~~to Gaydar]]: Alistair. * [[Straight Man]]: Kevin * [[Throw the Dog Aa Bone\|Throw The Rat A Bone]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20150524172932/http://newshounds.keenspot.com/d/20101224.html Ferris has finally sold one of his many, many ideas and it's being optioned as a TV Series] * [[Twisting the Words]] * [[T -Word Euphemism]]: Whereas the original ''Newhounds'' was almost completely devoid of harsh language, [[Darker and Edgier]] ''Newshounds II'' has some characters frequently cursing aloud, with their still-obvious words masked with strategic scribbles over most (but not all) of the letters. Sam, Slab and Randy do this the most. * [[The Vamp]]: Randy owns this trope so bad. * [[Virtual Ghost]]: Manny the mink, after being made into a stole. * [[Webcomics Long Runners]] * [[White Gloves]] * [[What Measure Is a Non -Human?]] - Recently, Sam's legal rights have been brought into question by Alistair. Among an increasing number of other incidents. {{reflist}} Line 60: [[Category:The Nineties]] [[Category:Newshounds]] [[Category:~~Webcomic~~Web Comics]] [[Category:Web Comics of the 1990s]]
