[[File:Troper-PitW_3465.jpg|frame]]
In a world where roughly one out of every thousand people is a werewolf, were-cat, or some other were-beast, [[Meaningful Name|Peter Stubbe]] is a runt werewolf. [[Why Couldn't You Be Different?|Disdained by his father]], [[All of the Other Reindeer|ridiculed by his pack]], he turned to a human, Sarah, [[Interspecies Romance|for companionship]]. Unfortunately nobody told him [[Our Werewolves Are Different]] and [[The Virus|can transmit lycanthropy sexually]]. Now Sarah turns into [[Attack of the 50
As anyone who has heard of Kris Overstreet should probably guess, ''[http://www.peteristhewolf.com/ Peter Is the Wolf]'' has an NSFW version with graphic sex. However, it also has a SFW version. Overstreet writes, while Benjamin Rodriguez (also known as BAR-1) illustrates.

{{tropelist}}
* [[A
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Butch's father was already a lazy, redneck [[Jerkass]]. When we found out he was making Butch act like an [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]] and his own personal maid, it was disturbing but mostly ignored by the fanbase, cause Butch was kinda a [[Jerkass|jerk]] antagonist too -- and we're shown that most of the werewolf women are nudists when shapeshifted. Then we discover {{spoiler|Gus has been sexually abusing her}}, shoving him right over the [[Moral Event Horizon|cliff]] and dragging Butch ''back''.
** Peter's dad also counts, to a lesser extent. He's not happy about having a runt for a son, and makes absolutely no effort to hide it. Of course, Peter's dad has [[My Beloved Smother|other]] [[I Coulda Been a Contender|issues]] that make him [[Freudian Excuse|almost]] sympathetic.
Line 18 ⟶ 19:
* [[Bigger Is Better in Bed]]: All weres, Peter specifically, benefit from this. The new [[Casanova Wannabe]] werelion is shocked and dismayed to find that Jean wasn't impressed with the size of his equipment (or was she...) after she lifted him off the ground and sneaked a peek. And then stole his loincloth for good measure.
* [[Boobs of Steel]]: All the Zoothrope women (save the were-rat) gain enhanced secondary sex traits (larger breasts) while transformed, which corresponds with their enhanced physical powers quite nicely. Continuing to play the trope straight, Sarah is by far the most physically imposing Zoothrope woman ''and'' her petite form gains the most absurd [[Gag Boobs]] in the series when she transforms, too.
* [[Brand X]]: A supporting character already wears [[Men Buy From Mars, Women Buy From Venus|Frag body spray]]. Peter wears a shirt logo distinctly similar to [[Insane Clown Posse
* [[City of Weirdos]]: Jean is caught out in public partially transformed. Passers-by just think she's a furry and ignore her.
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Butch. Tragically, it's deeper than it looks.
Line 34 ⟶ 35:
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Hal Halbjornsen, a werebear. He is over 6' in human form and well over 12 feet from his butt to head. But despite his size, he is quite reserved and enjoys reading Locke, Rousseau, Nietzsche, and Wittgenstein in his spare time.
* [[Good Bad Girl]]: Jean, although wolves in the Peterverse are of the "open about sexuality" variety. For example, Jean's mother idly teases Jean's father ''in front of Jean'' saying that she idly wished she had taken Peter as a mate once she had found out her daughter had slept with him (and that his nickname of "two bats" [[Bigger Is Better in Bed|isn't a pun]]) -- and warns Jean that she should probably not let Sarah know that Jean and Peter had sex in the past.
* [[Good Ol' Boy]]: What Gus comes across as. {{spoiler|In reality, [[Complete Monster|not so much]].}}
* [[Groin Attack]]: [http://www.peteristhewolf.com/general/006.html "Taking a shot to the wolf nards... still hurts..."]
* [[Heroic Build]]: All males (except Peter) gain huge amounts of muscle when they transform...and are also endowed down there.
* [[How Do I Shot Web?]]: Controlling transformations and animal instincts is a learned skill.
* [[Hulk Out]]: Sarah's transformations. Hal too.
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]:
Line 57 ⟶ 58:
* [[My Beloved Smother]]: Peter's father has so many issues due to his grandmother, who raised him, being a very overbearing, alpha personality who crushed his hopes and dreams of going to college and playing football out of some sort of misguided desire <s> to protect the pack</s> to control him like she couldn't control his father. Amusingly, he married a woman who is ''the exact same way'', complete with [[Smug Snake]] grin and horrible justifications as she torments her own kid.
* [[Narrator]]: Peter and Sarah narrate the openings to each part giving the readers a brief summary the story.
* [[Nipple
* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: Sarah bursts in on Butch's aborted attempt to rape Peter, and not knowing what happened to him, promptly breaks up with him.
* [[One of Us]]: Both BAR-1 and Overstreet are devoted tropers, and make frequent mentions of various tropes on their discussion boards.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: The role of Pack Alpha is delegated to these rare individuals within werewolf society, as evidenced by Jack and his predecessor.
* [[Our Werebeasts Are Different]]: Features all kinds of werebeasts, although the predominant one remains werewolves. Whatever their animal type, their bite is not infectious: it is a trait inherited genetically.
** [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20120629041447/http://www.projectwonderful.com/img/uploads/pics/35620-1245895517.jpg An ad for the comic] actually uses the exact phrase. Not surprising, given the [[One of Us]] status of the writers.
* [[Overly Long Gag]]: No, not [[Gag Penis|Peter's unit]] - but [http://www.peteristhewolf.com/general/192.html is Goodwin Pack Alpha?]
* [[Power of Love]]: Jean realizes that Sarah does deeply love Peter as she didn't kill him after thinking he cheated on her, like an uncontrollable thrall should have.
* [[Purely Aesthetic Glasses]]: Sarah has confessed to using them in high school. ''Without the lenses.''
* [[Rape
* [[Schedule Slip]]: Although new pages are supposed to come out once a week, it's not surprising for them to miss a week. Or two. (Readers of the strip have accepted that both Kris and BAR-1 have a lot on their plate and, since the strip generates little to no revenue, bitching for updates is not going to solve anything.)
* [[Sexual Karma]]: Played with. Sarah slept with Peter as a final fling before college with the intent of dumping him afterwards... only to be infected with lycanthropy by it, have to give up on her dreams of going to a big school, and has to live with the boyfriend that she was ready to end it with.
* [[Shout
* [[Social Darwinist]]: Butch and her father. Tragically, it leads to Butch trying to express feelings of affection through this -- she's stronger than the boy she likes, so why can't she just take him? Taken to it's horrifying extreme in the most recent comics -- she kidnaps Peter, ties him up, and tries to rape him. However, she can't go through with it; see [[Can't Act Perverted Toward a Love Interest]], above.
* [[Super Senses]]: Part of the werewolf package. Unfortunately, smelling {{spoiler|the results of child molestation}} doesn't count as evidence.
Line 79 ⟶ 80:
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Butch again. She was always abusive towards Peter because [[Love Makes You Evil]] (and due to a general crappy home life) but actually likes him, when Sarah came into the picture and dashed her longstanding dream of Peter taking her away from her psychotic father, she started slipping into outright [[Yandere]] mode.
** Averted with Jean, who just doesn't care.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]:
** A minor example: Jean's father to Peter's mother, after they smugly announce they've already redecorated his room as a nursery for his replacement and he's going to have to literally live in a dog house outside, despite there being a perfectly good garage, and presumably a perfectly good couch nearby. Given the [[Smug Snake|look]] his mother had explaining this in the previous page, as well as his father accidentally letting it slip that their (vastly improved) sex life being a factor as well, it's nice to see ''someone'' call her out on it.
** Another minor one when Jean calls Sarah out and tells her that while her life has been hell the past few months, Peter has had it bad for years since he was a kid. And when he has finally found someone who respects him, he is kidnapped and almost raped. And after Sarah saves him, she thinks he was cheating on her and just leaves him in his own depression, back to two parents who have been putting him down for years.
* [[Where the Hell Is Springfield?]]: Although the creators have made a deliberate decision to not name or locate Peter's town, the artist draws certain landmarks which strongly suggest a Michigan locale...
