Shrub Monkeys: There is no Punch-Line, only Nap Time! |
 |
Shrub Monkeys is a Web Comic about the (semi) daily life of animator KT Shy.
Well, if by daily you mean charging headfirst into clearance sales with Gerard Butler as your backup, being attacked by a puffball of fart, and being kidnapped by garden gnomes...then yeah, this chick leads a pretty average lifestyle.
Recurring characters in her comics are her brother, Shagster Shan, and her sister, Hes Bell. They are about as random as she is.
Definitely Better Than It Sounds.
Tropes used in Shrub Monkeys include:
- Adult Child: Both KT and Shagster could definitely qualify.
- Affectionate Parody: Of Scooby Doo.
- Alliterative Name: Shagster Shan
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: When KT's boyfriend got his bike stolen, KT was more upset that hers (which was chained alongside his) wasn't stolen as well.
- Author Appeal: Why else would Gerard Butler be in these comics?
- Big Eater: KT is sometimes portrayed this way (along with Hes, occasionally)
- Brother-Sister Team: KT and Shagster (occasionally Hes and Shagster)
- Butt Monkey: Shag is often a victim of this.
- Cool Big Sis: KT to Hes, sometimes
- Funny Background Event: See if you can spot the tourist rats and the *ahem* lucky fellow.
- Recurring Extra: Gerard Butler and Dready Mc Dreadlocks.
- Running Gag: Below-mentioned alternate definitions of "shrub monkey".
- Unfortunate Names: Considering what a "shrub monkey" is defined as... Was addressed here before someone posted this.
