A 12-part comic series published by Oni starting in 2005 and ending in 2008, '''''Local''''' covered twelve years in the life of Megan McKeenan.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Abusive Parents]]: {{spoiler|Megan's dad}} to an extent.
* [[Allergic to Love]]
Line 36 ⟶ 35:
* [[Imagine Spot]]: The first issue is mostly Megan's imaginings of what will happen at the pharmacy {{spoiler|if she tries to use a forged note from her boyfriend}}.
* [[Mama Bear]]: {{spoiler|Megan's mother}} to an extent.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: An interesting issue about a band ("Theories and Defenses") is immediately followed by a [[Wham! Episode|Wham Issue]], "Two Brothers."
* [[Nippled and Dimed]]: Averted. This is an indie comic, of course.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: In spades.
Line 44 ⟶ 43:
* [[Silent Scenery Panel]]: So much, it could count as [[Scenery Porn]].
* [[Slice of Life]]
* [[Stalker
* [[Stopped Caring]]: Possibly the "rich hottie" in #8.
* [[Time Skip]]
