A mostly silly and lighthearted comic that became just a little [[Darker and Edgier]] during its second act, ''Wendy'' followed the adventures of the title character a bespectacled [[Anything That Moves|hedonistic bisexual]] named Wendy, her deceptively sweet gal pal Yumi, her cheery goth genius friend Lucy and occasionally the [[Only Sane Man|reluctant fourth roommate]] Miki. At first glance this webcomic wouldn’t seem to have much of a plot and you’d generally be right but as the comic progressed it began to develop one that became [[Cerebus Syndrome|darker and more dramatic]] the more you went into it. ''Wendy'' was cancelled after the second part and was never really given a proper conclusion.
Most notable for being the inspiration to its companion work ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131207121737/http://www.cutewendy.com/ Cute-Wendy]'' which itself is a prequel to Josh Lesnick’s largest comic ''[[Girly]]''. ''Wendy'' is a decidedly rare webcomic that could very well be the definition of [[Old Shame]] and [[Creator Backlash]]. It has been sporadically available on the internet for

* [[Beach Episode]]: It was called the [https://web.archive.org/web/20071227085252/http://joshlesnick.com/wendy/?comic=35 "Beach Trip"] for a reason, you know.
* [[Beauty, Brains, and Brawn]]:
** Wendy- Brawn
Line 49 ⟶ 50:
* [[Cat Fight]]: One of the few activities Wendy and Miki do together.
* [[Cerebus Syndrome]]: Averted. According to the epilogue, part three was meant to be even darker and more dramatic than part two but the comic was cancelled before this ever happened.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: All three of the main characters actually. Singing while playing the banjo without pants in a vat of porridge, slathering the front half of your naked body in peanut butter, operating a motorized squirrel car in the house, [https://web.archive.org/web/20071227085039/http://joshlesnick.com/wendy/?comic=12 none of these things are normal.]
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Most of part two.

Line 62 ⟶ 63:
* [[Erotic Eating]]: Yumi ''really'' enjoys potato chips.
* [[Evil Knockoff]]: {{spoiler|The combat android; for the rest of the androids, see [[Robot Me]].}}
* [[Expy]]: Yumi, Wendy and Lucy are all loosely based off of characters that appeared in a comic that Josh Lesnick created in 1996: ''Bishoujo Mamono Hunter Senshi Yumi Chan''. Miki is a direct transplant from an even older comic called ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131024022305/http://joshlesnick.com/psbcomix/old.php Asylum.]''
* [[Fan Service]]: This comic was created by Josh Lesnick, [[Fan Service]] is pretty much a given!

Line 96 ⟶ 97:

** {{spoiler|Yuki}} certainly qualifies as well.
* [[My Sister Is Off-Limits]]: Miki is extremely protective of her sister Yuki. Corrupting Yuki would be a [[Berserk Button|very bad idea]].
Line 113 ⟶ 114:
* [[Pyromaniac]]: Didn’t we mention that incident where Yumi set Lucy ''on fire''?
** It’s a fair bet Yumi tossed the match that torched Jack’s car, too.
* [[Quintessential British Gentleman]]: Subverted in [https://web.archive.org/web/20071227085503/http://joshlesnick.com/wendy/?comic=58 comic 58].

* [[Unreliable Narrator]]: The narrator character was always invariably proved to be either wrong or just making stuff up.
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: [[Played for Laughs]]; seeing someone eat a banana is Wendy’s ultimate weakness in [https://web.archive.org/web/20071227085443/http://joshlesnick.com/wendy/?comic=54 comic 54.]
** {{spoiler|The Angry Lesbian, Blowhard Critic and the [[Beehive Hairdo|Beehive Lady]]}} were disabled by a hug from a giant teddy bear.
