Wapsi Square: Difference between revisions

Line 18:

* [[All Bikers Are Hells Angels]]: [[Subverted Trope|subverted]], when Monica finds a biker bar filled with mostly middle-aged white-collar workers.

* [[All Myths Are True]]: At least the Aztec, Greek and Egyptian myths have made a fair showing so far, and Bud may actually be ancient Greek based on how her accent sounds to modern ears.

* [[Alternate History]]: Jin has lived through numerous of these because of the [[Groundhog Day Loop]], the most recent of which apparently ended in a blind panic at the Calendar Machine site and a gruesome death for Monica, and may have something to do with Jin's refusal to let herself be too friendly with the rest of the crew, particularly Shelly.

* [[Ambulance Chaser]]: Bud has an amusing run-in with one starting [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/areyouokay/ here.]

* [[Anthropomorphic Personification]]: The personal demons

Line 61:

* [[Cute Kitten]]: Selenium, except for [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/pretty-amazing/ this instance] any real-life cat owner would relate to. He does double duty as Amanda's shredder.

* [[Dagwood Sandwich]]: Monica has been known to eat [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/meet-kris-williams/ these.]

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Notice the fairly small overlap between the site's current cast page and the one above? In the slice-of-life years, Tina was a moving prop, Katherine was just a weird [[Drop in Character]], and Tep was such a joke that he wasn't added to the cast page at the time until after the Heather arc, when ''she'd'' been there for months already; essentially, Monica and Shelly are the only two left of the original cast. Even Shelly hadn't been very prominent among Monica's friends until [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|the Heather arc]] and her [[Important Haircut]] boosted her popularity.

* [[Description Cut]]: They are a staple of the humor. [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/shoeswithwheels/ This strip] is a good example.

* [[Did You Just Have Sex?]]

Line 125:

* [[Metal Detector Checkpoint]]: Monica has a bit of a problem with the metal detector at the airport. She made sure she had nothing metal on her person only to set off the detector with the [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/12062002/ underwire in her bra.]

* [[Monster Clown]]: There are few things scarier than a [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/11282003/ dog in a clown mask.]

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Monica and the Golem Girls (especially in their first appearance). Nearly every female character gets a turn at least once. Done very tastefully, especially for webcomics, and not too often.

* [[Mugging the Monster]]: Mugger pulls knife. [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/02242005/ Heather pulls gun] [[Bring My Brown Pants|Mugger wets himself.]]

* [[Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight]]: A mugger finds himself on the wrong end of this trope in [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/02242005/ this] strip.

* [[New Powers as the Plot Demands]]: Monica's first "poit" comes out of friggin' ''[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/weneedtotalk/ nowhere]''.

* [[No Antagonist]]: Despite, the save the world plot and complex, overlapping plans, there is no clear antagonistic figure.
