''[[http://wapsisquare.com/ Wapsi Square]]'' is a "slice of supernatural life" webcomic by Paul Taylor, who describes it as "An attempt to combine the cute and the macabre." It follows the life of Monica Villareal, a busty anthropologist from [[UsefulNotes/TwinCities Minneapolis]], as she discovers that it isn't her that's crazy, but rather the world around her.

* CerebusSyndrome: Changing from a slice-of-life comedy, to a save-the-world drama; dropping over half its supporting cast in the process, and leaving multiple unresolved subplots.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: When the nature of the comic [[CerebusSyndrome shifts from slice-of-life comedy to supernatural drama]] a lot of the character arcs and background threads are just dropped without any resolution.

* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: Bud, being the most destructive of the three golem girls, has worried about this on a regular basis.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: "Poit"ing

* ForceFeeding: Bud [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/payattention/ demonstrates]] the incredibly complicated technique of force feeding through [[TeleportersAndTransporters teleportation.]]

* BadDreams

->''"One thing I must remember about my demons...''
->''If I don't do exactly as they say, as they wish...''
->''They become totally... completely... harmless."''

* AdventureArchaeologist: Monica's grandfather was one of these. Monica herself, on the other hand would claim to be an archaeologist of the far more mundane variety. She spends most of her time either in a library, or analyzing things for the museum, and she doesn't do field work. However, that being said, she still did manage to help bring down a smuggling ring in the process of acquiring an artifact.
** More recently, [[spoiler: Katherine]] has become one of these, combined with joining [[spoiler: TheMenInBlack]].

* AllTherapistsAreMuggles: [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/sacrificed-untold-legions/ Discussed several times]]. Most of the main cast could use professional help to overcome their issues, but the great majority of those issues deal with visions, demons, immortality, time loops, inadvertently causing an apocalyptic event, or related phenomena that the characters fear would cause them to be committed. It even ''has'' caused problems for Monica, back when she was a teenager, since she was young, confused, haunted by demons, and ignorant of the bigger picture.

* {{Mayincatec}}: Aztec and Mayan mythology. Possibly subverted by Jin, [[spoiler:who has impersonated deities common to both pantheons and may have had some contact with Egypt and Greece as well, through Phix.]]

In 2013, the focus began to shift away from Monica, who had [[spoiler:essentially become a demigod known as the Jaguar Girl by that point]], to her friend Katherine Gilchrist and her adopted daughters, a teenage siren named Atsali and a pre-teen sentient mass of vines named Castela.

* ManOfKryptonite: Well, CuteMonsterGirl Of Kryptonite; Castela is made of plants that are the KryptoniteFactor of TheFairFolk. She also has some... [[{{Understatement}} antipathy]] towards fae - [[{{Understatement}} kind or a problem]] when a fae princess attends the same school.

* LiteralCliffHanger: One sequence has Shelly hanging from the edge of a [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/08202004/ billboard.]] [[spoiler:Luckily the long fall is only an illusion. She will land on a rooftop not visible due to the angle. Possibly inspired by HaroldLloyd's ''Safety Last'', which used a similar technique.]]

* AnthropomorphicPersonification: The personal demons

** Looks as if it may apply to sphinx Shelly and [[spoiler:Justin]], until we learn that [[spoiler:he is in fact an amnesiac immortal himself]].
