----
=== Tropes: ===
* [[Actual Pacifist]]: Max, overtly. Yvette, possibly as well, though she is so timid it's hard to know what's in her head.
Line 93:
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Buddy Champ Oven...sorta. That's actually his [[Rule of Funny|full name.]] [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/05/23 Blame his dad Joseph.]
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Kaitlyn. Her time spent observing the others has built up remarkable insight into the social dynamics of the class. She employs this to great effect [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2010/09/05 starting in this strip.] The ensuing conversation provides her with justified time in the spotlight.
** Although Kaitlyn is the [[Word of God]] entry in this category, Max has [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2010/08/28 played the role] from time to time.
* [[Pilot Movie]]: The "Disorganized Sports" arc was partially used to introduce some of the main cast of the [[Spin-Off]] strip ''Copper Road''.
* [[Please Subscribe to Our Channel]]: In June 2011, the characters [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|broke the fourth wall]] for several strips in which they asked readers for donations.
* [[Post-Kiss Catatonia]]: Vincent, after Autumn kisses him for returning her dossier binder. Not that she cares much about him - she just really wanted the binder back.
* [[Proud to Be a Geek]]: Quincy.
* [[Punctuated!
** [[Brick Joke]]: [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/09/25 It's also salable.]
* [[Punny Name]]: The Hu family, leading to many [[Abbott and Costello]]-style jokes. The most blatant example is the matriarch of the family, Shii Ann Hu, for whom [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Incredibly Lame Puns]] [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/08/19 are used shamelessly].
Line 115:
** Which becomes even more disturbing in the context of [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2011/04/08 a later strip]…
* [[Serious Business]]: [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/08/12 The bake sale is science!!]
** Also, in the intro arc, a simple competition about who the better supervillain is turns into the famous "Gender Wars".
** And the arc where Mr. Et discovers that Quincy killed his [[WoW]] character...not pretty.
** [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2011/04/07 '"Go Fish" is not a contact sport!']
Line 123:
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: The characters of Max Zeit and Dionne Crup represent each respective extreme of the scale pretty well.
* [[Snarky Inanimate Object]]: The On-Cue Ball, natch. It even provides the page image for the trope.
* [[
* [[Spin-Off]]: ''[http://precociouscomic.com/archive/copperroad/index.html Copper Road]'', about the character Kaitlyn Hu and the "other side of the class" that lives on Copper Road.
* [[Spoof Aesop]]: [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/12/11 Evil's triumph over goodness is absolute]
Line 129:
** Also: [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/05/04 "Moral of the story: Women are inferior?"]
* [[Straw Feminist]]: Suzette, who more often than not proves to be an easily agitated womyn who always seems to have a speech ready.
{{quote|'''Suzette:''' [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/03/24 So screw equality--Let's take it all!] '''[[Punctuated!
* [[Sunday Strip]]
* [[Tagline]]:
{{quote|''Because knowledge is a weapon!''}}
* [[Theme Song]]: [http://precociouscomic.com/extras/index.html A fan composed a theme song] for the comic. Chris liked it so much he pretty much [[Sure Why Not|made it the official theme]].
* [[Throw the Dog a Bone]]: Jacob, usually [[The Chew Toy]], has had a couple of moments in the sun.
* [[Throw the Book At Them]]: [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/06/17 Your words have hurt me.]
* [[Title Drop]]: [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2011/02/11 Here.]
* [[Torches and Pitchforks]]: [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2010/10/08 Homeowner's association at it again?] Though surprisingly that specific one is directed at Bud's parents rather than the kids.
* [[
* [[Villain Episode]]...or [[Story Arc|arc]]...actually, to be precise, TWO Villain-centric story arcs. Somewhat subverted in that it is the [[Villain Protagonist|main cast]] playing villain.
* [[Wall of Blather]]
