History WebComic / SuicideForHire

''Suicide for Hire'' is a mature-rated FurryComic by Rafael Medina about two teenagers, the extremely enthusiastic sex-obsessed fox Hunter Ravenwood, and the chain-smoking highly paranoid mouse Arcturus Winrock (who also has a homicidal split personality), who help other people kill themselves, often in a highly karmic way.

%%* FurryComic

* AwesomeMcCoolname: The two main characters, as well as Hunter's occasional girlfriend, Chryseis North, though most of their clients have more mundane names (if named at all).

* ArtisticLicenseReligion - Hunter (and therefore, presumably, [[AuthorTract the author]]) seems to be talking about the entire Christian faith during his rant against the [[StrawmanPolitical religious right]].

* BadassLongcoat: Both main characters.

* BlackComedy

* CarnivoreConfusion: LampShaded by the author in a side note for [[http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20070715.html a comic]] where Hunter and Arc were discussing milk. "You know of any species of wild animals that not only nurse after infancy, but from a source not even of its own species?" note: "To anal-retentive assholes like myself: you know what I mean. STFU."

* CharacterFilibuster
* ClusterFBomb

* CunningLikeAFox: Hunter.

* DepravedHomosexual: A waiter who threatened to stalk and rape Hunter in one arc. [[{{Irony}} Right after Hunter chews out a bunch of Westboro Baptist]] {{Expy}}s. It should be noted that the writer tries to make sure that the "Depraved" part of this character is not linked to the "Homosexual" part; while beating him up, Hunter explained that he understood that most homosexuals were not like this. Within the comic's universe Hunter was probably wrong: keep in mind that most of the straight characters in this comic are just as bad if not worse.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: The boys apparently don't like to harm women unless they're clients. Under the rules of SFH, they don't accept clients under 16 and don't plan suicides that result in the deaths of a third party (they reject a pregnant customer because of those rules). Hunter also has a self-enforced guideline of only killing people who come to him to be killed. Unless they REALLY piss him off.

* FurryComic

* {{Gorn}}

* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: Hunter's explanation for his actions against the homophobic protestors. JustifiedTrope in that it's a conversation between two adolescent boys.
* HighPressureBlood

* ItTastesLikeFeet: LampShaded in a non-food example. Hunter comments that a scorpion sting feels like someone put out a cigarette on his foot, and when Arc asks him how he knows what a cigarette burn feels like he uses Arc's cigarette to provide a comparison.
* KarmicDeath: Most of the deaths that Hunter and Arc arrange, such as a frat boy who [[spoiler:felt responsible for his friend's death by alcohol poisoning drinking methanol and then being set on fire.]]
* KillItWithFire: [[http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20050713.html After Hunters... alone time.]] The strip above also counts.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Autumn.
* MoralMyopia: [[spoiler: Xero points this out to Arcturus. To be specific he makes fun of the fact that he feels bad about helping a Terminal Cancer patient die but not feeling bad for killing a lot of stupid teenagers.]]

* OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions: Averted. Hunter, in his own deranged little way, believes in god; pointing to the [[CrossesTheLineTwice hilariously over-the-top]] and completely accidental death of a militant atheist at a church ([[HumiliationConga hit by a busload of nuns through a bulletproof window, through the sanctuary, into the belltower to be impaled upon a spire, and then has his face eaten by pigeons]]) as the cause. At one point, he delivers a scathing ReasonYouSuckSpeech to a group of {{Heteronormative Crusader}}s for discarding the parts of the bible that they don't like while using the exact same book (Leviticus) as an excuse to outlaw same-sex marriage, pointing out the severe ValuesDissonance of the Old Testament-while giving some of the same arguments a preacher would about keeping a weather eye out for poisonous doctrine.

* PoliceAreUseless: They do ''try,'' but circumstances tend to conspire against them.

* ShoutOut: There's quite a few to the band Music/{{Megadeth}}.

* SingingInTheShower: Arcturus [[http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20060430.html sings]] "I'm So Cute" from Frank Zappa.

* StrictlyFormula: every arc ends with someone dying in a horrible manner.
* SocialDarwinist

* UnusualEuphemism: "What the turtleshirt is this?"

* VisualPun: Autumn's KarmicDeath.[[spoiler: She told a number of lies to get the object of her affection. Her death? She was forced to spill her guts.]]
** Also the choice of some FunnyAnimal species, such as Hunter's former priest Jethro being [[{{Irony}} a]] [[SevenDeadlySins sloth]].

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Hunter, sometimes. Other times he drops the "Well Intentioned".

* CarnivoreConfusion: LampShaded by the author in a side note for [[http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20070715.html a comic]] where Hunter and Arc were discussing milk. "You know of any species of wild animals that not only nurse after infancy, but from a source not even of its own species?" note: "To anal-retentive assholes like myself: you know what I mean. STFU."

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: The main characters.

%%*BodyHorror: The result of a botched [[AteHisGun Shotgun in the mouth]].

Is currently on a long hiatus.

* PunnyName: There are a few, including Tybalt and Rosaline [[RomeoAndJuliet Montlet]]. Tybalt is a cat.

* DomesticAbuser: [[spoiler:Tybalt Montlet]] is an absolutely classical textbook example.

* XMeetsY: Heathers meets Se7en.

** Arguably, this is exactly what Hunter wanted to demonstrate all along. That anything based on Bible can be a subject of amendment to suit the needs of now, and that "it`s written in Bible" does not absolve the followers of faith from the burden of moral choice.

* ArtisticLicenseReligion - Hunter (and therefore, presumably, [[AuthorTract the author]]) seems to be talking about the entire Christian faith during his rant against the [[StrawmanPolitical religious right]]. Hunter later states that to be orthodox people need to follow the Bible to the letter... but forgets that the Bible acknowledges the Pope as the one who controls the Christian doctrine, and there are matters on which the Pope has permitted actions that would be forbidden if the Bible ''was'' followed perfectly. Once one acknowledges this, the whole argument collapses.

* ArtShift: Crudely-drawn cartoons are used in a recent flashback sequence to demonstrate how feebly the character is lying.

* BoltOfDivineRetribution: Hunter refrains from pointing out St. John was called "Christ's Beloved" and that there were no female apostles because; "I like having both arms and not getting struck by lightning" during his epic [[ReasonYouSuckSpeech chewing out]] of the local [[CaptainErsatz Not-Westborough Baptist church.]]

** Several to ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' (the author is hopelessly in love with RE4).
