Scout Crossing

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Scout Crossing is a weekly webcomic chronicling the adventures of the eponymous hero and his battle against evil scenesters. Find it here (first comic here).

Tropes used in Scout Crossing include:
  • Anti-Hero: Scout is a Type 1. Although he used to be somewhat of a local legend, he is now a bit of a pathetic layabout.
  • Art Evolution: Every strip is a little better, it seems.
  • Battle Couple: In the 12 page mini comic, Scout and Penny are shown to have been this before Scout's Heroic BSOD.
  • Berserk Button: Boyd Pizzly almost killed Penny, and Scout attacked him
  • Blond Guys Are Evil: So far both villians, Laylor Tinsey and Boyd Pizzly are blond, while scout has dark hair. Of course, being Scene kids, their hair might not be natural.
  • British Accents: The "New Readers" page explains that Lizzy Bell is British. Nothing more, just British.
  • Evilly Affable: Boyd Pizzly
  • Evil Gloating: Taylor and Boyd are ridiculously guilty of this.
  • Flash Back: Happens to Scout when he gets into a fight with Finn, and details how his brother, Chance was killed, and why Finn is blind. It also reveals quite a lot of the story elements, such as what exactly the 'sleeve' tattoos are.
  • Heroic BSOD: It is implied that Scout had one of these after his older brothers death.
  • Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Penny Smashworthy
  • Say It with Hearts: Sparticus.
  • Sissy Villain: The vaguely effeminate, physically pathetic, always fashionable Laylor Tinsey.
    • And the covers playing, sunglasses wearing Boyd Pizzly hasn't been that intimidating either
  • Sunglasses at Night: Boyd Pizzly
  • The Fighting Narcissist: Laylor Tinsey has strong shades of this.
  • You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Penny Smashworthy
