Tomorrow Stories: Difference between revisions

* Jack B. Quick: A boy scientist given to experiments like putting buttered toast on a cat's back. (You see, toast always lands butter-side down, and cat's always land on their feet.)

* Splash Brannigan: A living blob of four-dimensional ink. Quite friendly.

----

* [[Affectionate Parody]]

* [[Anthology Comic]]

* [[Too Good to Last]]: Only twelve issues plus a couple of ABC (America's Best Comics) specials.

=== Greyshirt ===

* [[Arch Enemy]]: Johnny Apollo.

* [[Ascended Extra]]: Nearly every supposedly one-shot character from the Tomorrow Stories Greyshirt segments reappear in ''Indigo Sunset'', either for a cameo or revealed to have been more ingrained in Greyshirt's life than previously alluded.

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Something of a staple in Greyshirt's [[Rogues Gallery]], most noticeably Johnny Apollo and Lapis Lazuli.

* [[Badass Normal]]: And how!

* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: Ella Bly sold Franky Lafayette out to Johnny Apollo in exchange for help in launching her music career. Well, years later she's now a famous blues singer and pianist, but her face was badly burned by Johnny with an iron.

* [[That Man Is Dead]]: The world thinks Franky Lafayette is dead. He thinks it's better that way.

* [[Those Wacky Nazis]]: One story focused on Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich, reincarnated as cockroaches in an old woman's kitchen. They're later exterminated with some roach motels, but come back again as a germ culture that's implied to be incinerated.

=== Cobweb ===

* [[Anything That Moves]]

* [[Writer Revolt]]: While nothing confirmed, Melinda Gebbie stopped doing the artwork for Cobweb after issue seven. The story after that would've been the aforementioned Scientology story.

* [[You Are Fat]]: Cobweb, after killing the Weasel and his captive Astounding Woman by setting his hideout on fire, tells the press that she "was probably too fat to escape in time".

=== First American ===

* [[Arch Enemy]]: His most recurring foe, the fat, suicidal opera singer Gerta Dammerung.

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Gerta. Her attempts at destroying the world usually stem from her belief that it needs to be put out of its misery, or because of homicidal depression caused by her lack of a love life.

* [[Yaoi Fangirl]]: His sidekick U.S.Angel enjoys writing ''[[Starsky and Hutch (TV series)|Starsky and Hutch]]'' slash fiction.

=== Jack B Quick ===

* [[Alien Abduction]]: An inversion. Jack actually abducts an alien of his own, and holds it hostage. In return, the aliens deliver Glenn Miller and his orchestra.

* [[Teen Genius]] (Actually, twelve.)

* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: The townspeople have come gotten used to Jack's "meddling in God's domain", but still get annoyed when it disrupts their daily life.

=== Splash Brannigan ===

* [[Alliteration]]: This living liquid ''loves'' like letters.
