How To Write An Example - Irrelevant Potholes.


''[[http://alienlovespredator.com/ Alien Loves Predator]]'' is a photo webcomic created by Bernie Hou that revolves around the strange lives of [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Abe (the Alien)]] and [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Preston (the Predator)]], portrayed by Alien and Predator action figures. Contrary to the adversarial nature shown between the two species in [[Franchise/AlienVsPredator a certain other franchise]], these two are best friends and roommates living in [[BigApplesauce New York City]]. Equally contrary to what you'd expect, their lives are amazingly mundane, causing several jokes to rely on observational humor centered around aspects of day to day life in NYC, which has granted the strip several comparisons to ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}''. Of course, every so often the inherent weirdness of the strip's universe kicks in, leading to stuff like a talking tattoo of [[Series/AmericanIdol William Hung]], a sentient ''smell'', time traveling Chinese takeout deliverymen, among others.

The strip doesn't have much of a supporting cast, though they often play big parts in story arcs. This cast includes Corinne, a psychic whose "blurry second sight" leads to inaccurate predictions; Abe's mom, an (of course) Alien Queen that doesn't think much of her son and Jesus Christ, star baseball player for the New York Mets.
