The Life of Nob T. Mouse: Difference between revisions

* [[Cephalothorax]] - most of the cast are simply giant heads with limbs attached.

* [[Catch Phrase]] - Several.

'''Wilf''': Hello, everybody. }}

* [[Character Blog]] - Hubert Schlongson occasionally pops up on the website to provide [http://www.nobmouse.net/tag/anecdotes/ increasingly surreal anecdotes] about his time visiting Nob Mouse and friends.

* [[Eldritch Abomination]] - Grandfather Time is definitely one of these.

* [[Exact Time to Failure]] - Used as a joke in ''Pie Noon'':

* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: The comic details the life of Nob T. Mouse.

* [[Fictional Document]] - ''The Blobland Gang'' is a set of books, [[Animated Adaptation|TV]] & radio shows, and even [[The Movie|a film]]. They are all based on [[Author Avatar|Hubert Schlongson]]'s visits to Blobland to learn about the adventures of Nob Mouse and Co.

* [[Filler Strip]] - they tend to be jokes about why there's no comic on that particular day; like [http://www.nobmouse.net/2009/11/23/why-the-long-pause/ this strip]:

'''Nob Mouse''': Because the writers messed up on their scheduling... }}

* [[Funny Animal]] - Given that Nob is a 'mouse', Wilf is a 'dog' and Frederick is a 'rabbit', this is given an abstract, almost cubist, twist.

* [[Private Eye Monologue]]: Jip does this in ''[http://www.nobmouse.net/2009/07/10/the-squeeze-part-one/ The Squeeze]'', a film noir parody strip from ''[[The Life of Nob T. Mouse]]''.

* [[Power Trio]]: Two sets. [[Word of God]] is that this is down to Robinson preferring to write about Nob Mouse and Franky, while Kirk prefers to write about Wilf and Spam.

'''Ego''': Kevin }}

* [[Power-Up]]: Wilf gets one of these when he opens [http://www.nobmouse.net/2010/01/27/all-over-the-mouse-part-seventeen/ a literal can of ''Whoop Ass''] in order to battle Grandfather Time.

* [[The Rant]]: The news section is occasionally used to tell extra anecdotal stories.

* [[Running Gag]]: Several:

Every series on the site's 'Stories' page includes a claim that "some claim [it] is the Golden Age of Nob Mouse stories" }}

* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: The strip sits firmly in the middle, with idealistic stories and tones masking a dark and cynical core. The [http://www.nobmouse.net/2010/04/28/the-bureaucratic-empire-part-1/ ''Bureaucratic Empire'' storyline] is a good example of this.

* [[Something Completely Different]] - [http://www.nobmouse.net/2009/07/10/the-squeeze-part-one/ This ''film noir''-inspired detective story] where most of the main case appear to be petty crooks of some kind. The art style and the writing are significantly different to anything else the comic has done.

* [[Speech Bubbles]]: Grandfather Time has translucent black speech bubbles without tails. Everyone else gets normal speech bubbles.

* [[Story Arc]] - Several. The longest is probably the establishment of Memory Lane in its titular storyline. At first it seems like an abortedarc but then it reappears in ''All over the mouse''.

* [[Surrealism]] - Robinson studied the surrealist movement for her school art classes and regularly discusses the influence of surrealism on the comic.

* [[This Is Sparta]] - Frederick delivering his final words to Grandfather Time during ''[http://www.nobmouse.net/2010/02/17/all-over-the-mouse-part-twenty-four/ All over the mouse]''.

* [[Threshold Guardians]]: Nob Mouse is forced to {{spoiler|risk killing Frederick}} {{spoiler|(who is effectively his adopted father)}} in order to save the world during ''Pie Noon''.

* [[The Unseen]] - Hubert Schlongson is mentioned in ''All Over the Mouse'' and even writes the occasional anecdotal story in the site's blog but he has never actually been shown anywhere.
