{{tropelist}}
* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: Vincent, although he's an unusual case in that he becomes a respected part of the main cast ''without this aspect of him ever changing.''
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: Eep towards Wanda, and Vincent towards Eep. The former is played for drama (usually) and the latter for comedy.
* [[All Men Are Perverts]]: Vincent is constantly throwing himself at Eep, Eep is constantly lusting after Wanda, and Robert is constantly having sex with guys he barely knows. None of these things make the characters less likeable.
* [[All Women Are Lustful]]: Wanda makes a move on Eep without having any romantic feelings for him, even knowing that he is in love with her. She regrets it afterward, though. [http://strangefiction.net/?p=189 Michelle]{{Dead link}} is a better, if less prominent example.
* [[Angst]]: Eep is quite the angstmeister, especially in the flashback arc (although this is [[Justified Trope|justified]] in that his mother had just died).
* [[Art Evolution]]
* [[Art Shift]]: A [http://strangefiction.net/?p=227 couple]{{Dead link}} of [http://strangefiction.net/?p=54 times,]{{Dead link}} for [http://strangefiction.net/?p=55 out-of-continuity gag strips.]{{Dead link}}
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Far, ''far'' too many instances to list.
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: Vincent stops Eep's college friend from showing the porn film he starred in to a roomful of people. [http://strangefiction.net/?p=145 But only after the first frontal scene.]{{Dead link}}
* [[Cliff Hanger]]: The Lady Attercop chooses the most inopportune times to go on hiatus.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: [http://strangefiction.net/?p=56 Wanda.]{{Dead link}}
* [[Continuity Nod]]: When Wanda finds out that Eep attempted suicide when he was in high school, she [http://strangefiction.net/?p=99 automatically assumes that it was over a girl]{{Dead link}} and [http://strangefiction.net/?p=100 refuses to believe any claims to the contrary.]{{Dead link}} Later on, when she finds out that he never finished college, that's [http://strangefiction.net/?p=168 her first guess again]{{Dead link}}. As noted below, that strip also has a [[Development Gag]] referring to the same story arc.
* [[Creepy Doll]]: Voodoo Ed.
* [[Crossover]]: A one-sided crossover with [[The Clockwork Cabaret]].
* [[Development Gag]]: [http://strangefiction.net/?p=168 "The last time we had this conversation it felt like it lasted NINE MONTHS."]{{Dead link}}
* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]: Eep, [http://strangefiction.net/?p=148 here]{{Dead link}}
* [[Don't Fear the Reaper]]: Lampshaded [http://strangefiction.net/?p=63 here.]{{Dead link}}.

* [[Genki Girl]]: Wanda, at times.
* [[Goth]]: The main cast, minus Robert.
* [[The Grim Reaper]]: Here, he's a [[Don't Fear the Reaper|pretty nice dude]] named Greg, who often stops by to give Eep advice.
* [[Gross Up Close-Up]]: When Eep [http://strangefiction.net/?p=150 punches a wall]{{Dead link}}.
* [[Hands-Off Parenting]]: Eep's father, ap[[Incredibly Lame Pun|parent]]ly.
* [[High-Pressure Blood]]: When Eep [http://strangefiction.net/?p=106 slits his wrist]{{Dead link}}.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: [http://strangefiction.net/?p=20 Here]{{Dead link}}.
* [[Jerk Jock]]: One. His name is Butch. <ref> Really.</ref>
* [[Mood Lighting]]: Parodied [http://strangefiction.net/?p=147 here]{{Dead link}}.
* [[Oh My Gods]]: Wanda's "Oh. My. Various. '''Gods.'''" when she finds out about Eep's porno. Vincent, in his first appearance, gives an "Oh my Goth!"
