The Abominable Charles Christopher: Difference between revisions

Line 8:

* [[Armchair Psychology]]: Practiced by a cockroach, minus the literal armchair.

* [[Armor-Piercing Question]]: "A better question, ''Vivol,'' is... why are you ''inside'' yours?"

* [[Blatant Lies]]: [http://www.abominable.cc/2008/01/30/32/ "Are you the wind?" "Yup."]

* [[Blatant Lies]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20121030175716/http://www.abominable.cc/2008/01/30/32/ "Are you the wind?" "Yup."]

** [[Captain Obvious|"You're a liar."]]

* [[Berserk Button]]: Charles does ''not'' like bear traps. Or anything that even vaguely resembles one. Like a lion's jaws.

Line 17:

* [[Cute Mute]]: Moon bear.

* [[Fable Remake]]:{{spoiler|Quite possibly with the Epic of Gilgamesh. Besides the modern city-state, the human king is actually called Gilgamesh, and Charles Christopher has been sent to stop him, just like Enkidu (another half-man/half-beast character) had been in the original story.}}

* [[Fridge Horror]]: [http://www.abominable.cc/2011/03/02/the-story-of-vivol-moon-bear-part-eight/ A piece of dialogue in this strip.] The fact that a berserk bear may go into a crowd of circus-goers...the potential results don't bear thinking about.

* [[Jigsaw Puzzle Plot]]: There definitely is a major plot (and a couple of intriguing sub-plots) in motion, but the precise details remain hard to pin down due to the extremely enigmatic nature of some of the entities involved.

* [[No Indoor Voice]]: The human King. As evidenced by his SQUARE speech bubbles.

Line 24:

* [[Scenery Porn]]: All the strips are incredibly well drawn and detailed.

* [[Schizo-Tech]]: There are metal traps and the first weapon seen is a rifle...but the human city Charles approaches has a working portcullis and the first human (at least we think it's human) we see is armed with swords.

* [[Shout-Out]]: There is a troupe of forest animals that performs a number of human plays and movies, from [[The Godfather]] to [[West Side Story]]. [http://www.abominable.cc/2009/08/26/the-cedar-forest-players-present-the-godfather/ Example!]
