A webcomic created in 2009 by James Ashby, Chris Jones and [[Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal|Zach Weiner]]. ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20100301121056/http://www.snowflakescomic.com/ Snowflakes]'' takes place in an orphanage located in the Andes mountains, where children wait to be picked by families every Christmas. However, it gets boring waiting around for that, so the children spend their days engaging in political power battles against each other.
Notable for having extremely strong characterization right out of the gate. Check out the [[Snowflakes
Currently on its second arc, as well as a third storyline written for the American Heart Association that is available on a separate part of the archive.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Absurdly Powerful Student Council]]: Played with. While the election has taken up much of the second arc, no winner has been decided yet and it's unclear as to how much they would actually be able to influence if they won. It just gets ''really'' boring waiting around an orphanage all day.
* [[Adventurer Archaeologist]]: Greg's father, though he might have just been a standard treasure hunter considering that he left Greg at the orphanage just so he could carry more gold.
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: While she doesn't fit this trope in the physical sense, Sloan can be pretty damn awesome sometimes.
* [[Calling the Old Man Out]]: Greg does it [https://web.archive.org/web/20150504024344/http://www.snowflakescomic.com/?id=313&sl=3 here].
* [[Character Development]]: While the characterization is strong to begin with, it's fascinating to watch how the goals of each character change as the comic goes on.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Glory.
* [[Comedic Sociopath]]: Wray.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Sloan.
* [[Description Cut]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130324205630/http://www.snowflakescomic.com/?sl=1&db=comics&id=105 Here.]
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: In the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922143114/http://www.snowflakescomic.com/?id=103&sl=1 very first comic], no less.

'''Priti''': Pfft. Those are fake. }}
* [[Good Angel, Bad Angel]]: Played with. Enzo has two devils because, according to one of them, "You're a five year old."
Line 27:
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Sloan gets put in this position a lot, though she's not without her own neuroses.
* [[Seven Deadly Sins]]: Each of the seven main characters is modeled after one of the sins: Greg is [[Greed]], Enzo is [[Green-Eyed Monster|Envy]], Glory is Gluttony, Lu is [[Lust]], Priti is [[Pride]], Sloan is Sloth, and Wray is Wrath. Their names are too similar to each of the sins for this to be a coincidence.
* [[Stalker
* [[Theme Naming]]: See [[Seven Deadly Sins]].
* [[This Is Sparta]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20150504011723/http://www.snowflakescomic.com/?id=204&sl=2 "There. Are. Vikings. And. I. Will. Find. Them. With. Swords."]
