It then breaks apart because Karen can't make a joke out of Sharon's drink order (gin and tonic).

An as-of-yet DarthWiki/{{unpublished| works}} webcomic by troper Tropers/{{Pablo360}}, with some input by two non-tropers. It's (or will be) a gag-a-strip webcomic centered around main character Sharon repeatedly insisting that [[ThisIsReality she isn't in a webcomic]], Karen insisting it is, and Mario being cynical and pessimistic about everything. It's based around a number of very silly gags, including [[HellOfAHeaven Heaven turning out to be a giant can of paint]] as a part of an inside joke. Since [[DarthWiki/UnpublishedWorks it hasn't been published,]] [[SchrodingersGun it may or may not be an example of]] DadaComics.

*AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The Trit{{Deuter|agonist}}s, to varying degrees.
**Played perfectly straight with Mario Mendel.
** {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Sharon Seaborg - while there is alliteration on the S, it's not technically consonance like Mario's name, since Sharon starts with a "sh" sound, but Seaborg starts with a "s" sound.
** Downplayed even further with Karen Skylark - there's no alliteration at all, but there is a consonance (on the "k" sound, and to an even lesser extent, the "r" sound as well).



*Deuteragonist: Tritagonist, actually. The webcomic revolves around all three title characters.



* FlatEarthAtheist: Sharon appears to be this at times.



** Also, Lucifer isn't the devil. This isn't marked as a spoiler because anyone who actually has read where Lucifer appears in Literature/TheBible would know that.



* NegativeContinuity: Only when it's [[RuleOfFunny part of a joke.]]
* NotThatKindOfDoctor: Dr. Karen Koll got her PhD in quasi-Euclidean physics.

* NegativeContinuity: Only when it's [[RuleOfFunny part ** Their introduction even passingly mentions that there are only two ways they could conceivably harm someone: hurting their self-image and... the narrator can't think of a joke.]]

!!Tropes pertaining to ''RageAgainstTheAuthor'':
* AgentMulder: Sharon, to the idea that she lives inside a webcomic.
* BerserkButton: For Professor Wallace, [[FelonyMisdemeanor sniffign paint]]. He goes on a huge rant when he catches a student doing it. [[spoiler:Too bad inhalation of addictive chemicals is the true meaning of happiness and heaven is really just a giant paint can.]]
* ButtMonkey: Enantiomen, {{Mirror Monster}}s that lack the RequiredSecondaryPowers of actually being able to, you know, ''get out of the mirrors''.
* FlatEarthAtheist: Sharon appears to be this at times.
* GainaxEnding: [[spoiler: It turns out Sharon was right. She's not in a webcomic. She's in a SitCom. Written by a sadistic stick figure with a black hat.]]
* GeniusBonus: "Enantiomen" comes from "enantiomer", which is a chemical that's a mirror image of another chemical. They only exist if the molecule has a chiral center - chiral coming from a word meaning hand. Enantiomen only exist for people blessed with the Hand of Lucifer. Lucifer means light-bearer, and mirrors reflect light.
** Also, Lucifer isn't the devil. This isn't marked as a spoiler because anyone who actually has read where Lucifer appears in Literature/TheBible would know that.
* GenreSavvy: Karen, Sharon's friend who insists that they live inside a webcomic.
* {{Meta G|uy}}irl: Karen.
* MirrorMonster: The Enantiomen. It's too bad they can't actually get out of the mirrors.
** That is, until [[spoiler: they find out that reflections in convex mirrors produce "real" images...]]
* NegativeContinuity: Only when it's [[RuleOfFunny part of a joke.]]
* ShoutOut: [[spoiler: the man who produced the ShowWithinAShow that the entire webcomic secretly was could be an iconic character from either]] Webcomic/{{Xkcd}} or Webcomic/MountainTime.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Wallace gives one to Tony for sniffing paint.
