History ComicBook / Zot

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Jenny is barefoot frequently. The very first panel of the comic has her walking barefoot around her neighbourhood. Even after she travels to Zot's world, she doesn't put on shoes until several issues later when she changes her outfit entirely. In a later issue, a distraught Jenny runs out of her house barefoot during winter with snow on the ground. Her mom tells her to put on a ''coat'' but says nothing about shoes, evidently having come to accept that there's no point in trying to get her to wear any.[[note]]Also this scene was AllJustADream anyway.[[/note]]

* DoesNotUnderstandSarcasm: Zot, He even directly names the trope in the penultimate issue.

* ExcitedShowTitle

->''"Every night, I walk out here, just to wait... I know he's not up there... not exactly... it's just the only place to look... And I know it hasn't been that long... Still... it seems like I've waited forever... Y'see... there's this guy I know... like no one you've ever met... from a place... you would not believe."''

It's also about Jenny Weaver, a thirteen-year-old girl whose parents are on the cusp of divorce, whose brother is generally nice when he's not drunk, and who has a philosophy that the Earth is "wrong" and filled with "broken people."

* AffectionateNickname: Butch tends to call Zot "Blondie." It starts as an insult, but soon becomes good-natured.

** Only Peabody calls Zot by his full name, Zachary. Most others just call him "Zot," though Max, Vic, Digger and Hacker tend to call him "Zach."

* WhoWouldWantToWatchUs: In a slightly meta and ironic issue during the "Earth Stories." Ronnie, who's the viewpoint character for the issue, really wants to write superhero stories, but has problems getting anyone's interest. When his mother suggests he try to write something a little more familiar, and that his own life might be just as interesting as a superhero's, he responds by saying "who the hell would want to read about me?"
