''[[Broken Plot Device]]'' is a [[Mundane Fantastic]] [[Furry Comic]] created by Lis Boriss. It takes place mostly within Byron Factory apartments, which is in turn located in an unnamed east-coast city. The comic takes place on a parallel version of Earth. As is evidenced by the fact that ninjas and giant fighting robots exist in "normal" society.
The comic mainly centers around the lives of Lizardbeth, an [[Cloudcuckoolander|easily]] [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny|distracted]] webcomic artist with a [[Must Have Caffeine|massive coffee addiction;]] Maxine, a [[The Snark Knight|rather blunt]] and [[Deadpan Snarker|overly sarcastic]] woman who nevertheless seems to have Lizardbeth's [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|best interests at heart;]] and Sid, the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|lionhearted]] friend of the previous two. Other characters that often appear include Zig, the slightly withdrawn robotics engineer; and Sylver, a man who considers himself god's gift to the ladies [[Casanova Wannabe|(the ladies, however, tend to find his company a bit unpleasant).]]
Line 64:
* [[Robot Buddy]]: Rex the cyber-apatosaurus was supposed to be one. He's still a bit buggy, starting from "massive egotism", to "hitting on every girl on sight", "cringing in terror at being touched", and currently "hitting on ''[[Single-Target Sexuality|Sid]] and [[Ho Yay|drawing him naked]]''". He's getting a bit better as Zig recodes him again and again.
* [[Ship Tease]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20110501150100/http://www.brokenplotdevice.com/2010/10/15/we-like-to-move-it-move-it/ Sid's just being pragmatic in a dangerous situation], but still...
* [[Shout-Out]]: Zig's powered armor, according to [[Geek|Paper]], looks more like ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'' than a [[Battlestar Galactica
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Zig, yet again.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Sylver. He's a jerk who thinks he's God's gift to ''everything''. And so far shows little to no actual competence. When things go sour - [[Hoist by His Own Petard|often by his own actions]] - he typically responds by slouching off and angrily demanding "why can't everything be ''cool''?"
