A [[Web Comic]] with a [[Mundane Fantastic]] theme, varyingly zany adventures with an overarching [[Myth Arc]], and almost every possible variety of [[Shapeshifting]] oozing out of its suddenly feminine ''ears''. The art goes from poor to unspectacular-but-fitting. ''The Wotch'' has a sense of fun and does some good romps if you can get into it and like, or don't mind, the levels of [[Transformation Comic|things turning into other things]].

 

{{tropelist}}

* [[And I Must Scream]]: A running "gag" of sorts is that anytime anyone is turned to stone, they are sentient during the statufication. Specifically follows the characters of Scott and Rosetta around, {{spoiler|though it does get fixed, at least in Scott's case}}. Played for laughs <s>less</s> more than for horror.

* [[Art Evolution]]: Since it returned, the creator of [[City of Reality]] has taken over as artist, leading to much better art quality. Even before that, compare [http://www.thewotch.com/?date=2002-11-21 this] to [http://www.thewotch.com/?date=2008-02-29 this].

*** Incorrect. It has been stated in a canon-filler arc that rewriting reality is something even the gods themselves do not do. How she accomplished the feat of making everyone except them believe that they were always like that is unknown.

*** ''Do'' not do, not ''can''not do.

* [[Break the Haughty]]: The increasingly annoying Lucius and Maggie of the "The MOST Most Dangerous Game" arc finally get their due when they {{spoiler|nearly kill Robin, angering Anne enough to force her into [[One-Winged Angel|the Wotch equivilant]] of [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|the Avatar state]].}} What really sells it is that, A) due to a [[Schedule Slip]], we've been waiting two years for this, and B) that even as {{spoiler|everything crumbles around them}} they try to cling on to their smug attitude. [http://thewotch.com/?date=2012-01-17 They fail] [http://thewotch.com/?date=2012-02-13 to do so].

{{quote|'''Maggie:''' '''What is she?!'''}}

* [[Crossover]]: With [[Accidental Centaurs]].

** And {{spoiler|The Wicked Witch of the West}} is the villain of said crossover.

* [[Cute Witch]]

* [[Dead Little Sister]]: {{spoiler|Miranda's tag-alongs.}}

* [[Education Through Pyrotechnics]]

* [[Enemy Without]]: Anneger.

* [[Evil Chancellor]]: Subverted.

* [[Expressive Shirt]]

* [[Order Versus Chaos]]: And in a subversion, the good guys aren't Order.

* [[Orphaned Series]]: The last official story comic was posted [http://www.thewotch.com/?date=2009-08-21 over a year ago], on August 21, 2009. Since then there have been two filler arcs, but no real updates, not even news updates. The forums have been abandoned by the staff, although apparently the artist and writer have mentioned on other forums that the artist is swamped with her college courseload, and there's also apparently an embarrassment factor for having left the comic hanging for so long. In other words, there may be a revival, but it's unlikely at this point.

** The forums haven't been abandoned, though. They just have a new name: [http://community.910cmx.com/ The 910CMX Community]. And the rebranding might not have as much to do with the Wotch being orphaned as [[El Goonish Shive]] joining the 910CMX lineup.

** They've officially returned, though with a [[City of Reality|new artist]].

** It's worse than not caring, she deliberately included them as additional punishment for Ivan.

*** She did seem not so happy about it a few pages later, but then again it seems a bit like {{spoiler|the threat of the curse was what made him desperate enough to try to tell someone...}} giving it qualities of a [[Self-Fulfilling Prophecy]].

** How did we miss the whole point of [[Punny Name|Kirkashi's]] existence as a ninja? [[Naruto|He goes to a ninjutsu dojo named Konoha run by a purple-haired woman named Anko.]] And of course there's his little adventure in the wardrobe...

*** And there's DeFrain's magic red eye he keeps under his eyepatch.

** There's also [http://www.thewotch.com/index.php?epDate=2003-01-03 this one], for [[El Goonish Shive]].

** As well as [http://extras.thewotch.com/?date=2005-01-01 this] to ''[[Misfile]]''.

** [[Pokémon|Pika]][http://www.thewotch.com/?date=2003-05-15 chu?]
