'''''Precocious''''' is a webcomicweb comic by Christopher J. "Chrispy" Paulsen built around a rather large group of "superintelligent" children who live in two separate neighborhoods, who just happen to be [[Petting Zoo People|canines and felines]]. The main characters are known for being completely insane in one way or another. Not very serious, but very funny, the comic is about those children/[[Children/madMad Scientist|mad scientists]]s in their everyday lives.

* [[Actual Pacifist]]: Max, overtly. Yvette, possibly as well, though she is so timid it's hard to know what's in her head.
Line 17:
* [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us]]: Inverted and subverted. Jacob (as Target Man) takes down the Supervillain Union and takes control of the Fortress of Evil...[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2010/01/03 only to be taken down by Suzette (as villain Mylytant Femynyst) three seconds later.]
* [[Art Evolution]]: Compare [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/03/09 Strip #1] to [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/04/05 Strip #28]. See a difference? Good. Now look at an even later strip, like [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/06/03 #87]. Big difference, eh?
** An even more dramatic comparison is at the bottom of [https://web.archive.org/web/20101010064245/http://precociouscomic.com/extras/bonus.html this page].
** Recently regressing, at least in detail. In chronological order: eliminating color strips altogether; eliminating almost all backgrounds or inanimate objects; positioning all characters at the same depth (with few exceptions). Color is back, for now, thanks to a fan contributor.
** However, now backgrounds seem not to be as much of an issue anymore, and there's even some [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2011/03/22 varied perspective].
Line 25:
* [[Author Avatar]]: In his FAQ, Chris states that Bud was originally "a cartoony avatar of myself." However, a more straight example would be Kaitlyn Hu, especially in the ''Copper Road'' strips.
* [[Batman Gambit]]: [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/04/21 "See?"] {{spoiler|A battle plan that depended on what the enemy was likely to do.}}
* [[Barefoot Cartoon AnimalsAnimal]]s: The entire cast.
* [[Bedsheet Ladder]]
* [[Calvin Ball]]: It's called Suicide Kings. Don't ask. There's also [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2011/01/20 this strip], the alt-text of which mentions the [[Trope Namer]].
Line 66:
* [[Furry Confusion]]: One of the many reasons Chrispy made all the characters either cats or dogs was to [[Averted Trope|avert]] this.
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Bud and Tiff during Autumn's paranoid delusion about their museum trip. Tiffany again after consuming an entire pot of coffee.
* [[Guest Strip]]: During the "Party crashers" arc, while Chrispy had a broken finger. The guest artists included Matt Dawson (''[[Sometime Alone]]''), Brooke Eggleston (''[[Also Bagels]]''), Irene Pitcairn (''[[Sun Elves]]''), [http://www.soulgamer.deviantart.com/ Robert McConnell], Carl Sjostrand (''[[Gingers Bread|Ginger's Bread]]''), [http://ndunlimited.com/ Terrence and Isabel Marks], John Peters (''[[Gypsygirl Press]]''), and [http://www.nox07.deviantart.com/ Roman Utkin] (who does a [https://web.archive.org/web/20131117080338/http://furries.ru/precocious/ Russian translation] of ''Precocious'').
* [[Hands-Off Parenting]]: Bud's parents, to the point where Autumn even forgets at one point that he even has parents.
* [[Hard Head]]
Line 134:
* [[Tagline]]:
{{quote|''Because knowledge is a weapon!''}}
* [[Theme Song]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20111015161129/http://precociouscomic.com/extras/index.html A fan composed a theme song] for the comic. Chris liked it so much he pretty much [[Sure Why Not|made it the official theme]].
* [[Throw the Dog a Bone]]: Jacob, usually [[The Chew Toy]], has had a couple of moments in the sun.
* [[Throw the Book At Them]]: [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/06/17 Your words have hurt me.]
