Small Market Sports
Small Market Sports is a Web Comic by Bill Charbonneau. It stars five anthropomorphic pieces of sports equipment (Carter the Baseball, Doug the American Canadian Football, Wayne the Hockey Puck, Dave the Transistor Radio and Nash the Basketball) from Small Market, Canada, who crack wise about the (North American) sports news of the day.
The comic runs on a Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule.
Tropes used in Small Market Sports include:
- Berserk Button: Decrying violence in hockey around Wayne.
- Canada, Eh?: Mostly averted.
- Cool Shades: Nash
- Deadpan Snarker: Dave
- Gentle Giant: Doug (He's twice the size of everyone except Nash)
- Jerk Jock: Nash
- The Napoleon: Wayne
- Theme Naming / Shout-Out: All of the cast members are named for famous Canadian sports figures.
- Where the Hell Is Springfield?: Small Market definitely somewhere in Canada, possibly somewhere near Montreal.
