* StagingAnIntervention: The comic gets meta with it. In [[http://chainsawsuit.com/comic/2014/09/15/the-b-u-t-t-algorithm/ "The BUTT Algorithm"]], the character gets a Twitter algorithm that recommends posts relevant to his interests... and it gives him nothing but "news about men's butts!" TheRant below the comic states: ''this page is procedurally generated. no one else is seeing this comic today. it’s about you and how much your dumb butt hangup is ruining your life. this is a web intervention from me and your family.''

A gag-a-day webcomic by the legendary Kris Straub, of ''{{Starslip}}'' and ''CheckerboardNightmare'' fame. Updates on weekdays [[http://www.chainsawsuit.com/ here]]. Featuring lots of irony, violence, [[LazyArtist lazy art]], and random humor. Straub originally named it "Indie Comic," but switched to "Chainsawsuit" when it became clear that he wanted to do more with the strip than make fun of indie comics.

Recurring characters include but are not limited to:

* The [[ArtifactTitle rarely-appearing]] title character, a dude with a [[ChainsawGood suit made of chainsaws]]. He kicks zombie ass, but it's very hard for him to go to the bathroom.
* Famous Chef, [[CaptainObvious a famous chef]] and a NoCelebritiesWereHarmed version of Gordon Ramsay.
* Pizza Force, consisting of a eighties-style ActionHero with CoolShades and awesome hair who delivers pizza, usually using gratuitous violence.
* Two Cops, a police officer who accidentally enlisted in Police Academy twice, and is thus treated as two cops. HilarityEnsues.
* Huntyr Chase, pickup artist extraordinaire.
* Lazy Cat, who is basically JamesBond [[XMeetsY meets]] Garfield.
* Time Ruiner, a {{Jerkass}} [[TimeTravel Time Traveler]] who goes around ruining causality and history.
* Elder God [[CthulhuMythos Cthulhu]], who is rather depressed at the MisaimedFandom he receives from humans.
* H.P. Wuvcraft, basically HPLovecraft as if he was [[NightmareFetishist overwhelmed with joy]] at all times [[MoodDissonance despite the incredibly dark stories he wrote.]]
* Boiga Bruddas, an allegedly forgotten video game from the early 80's that makes no sense.
* Time Friends, a pair of friends whose travels into the future always wind up not working out.
* Surprise Italians, a pair of twins who really know how to make a statement in restaurants.
* Action Champ Walkaway. [[UnflinchingWalk Everything he walks away from explodes.]]
* An unnamed nerd from the anime Super-Boobs-look-at-High-School 3, who constantly [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin looks at boobs]] and gets {{nosebleed}}s.
* [[http://chainsawsuit.com/2011/05/04/investigationing/ Jet Wiggledick]], a hardball journalist who has a difficult time being taken seriously due to his [[UnfortunateNames unfortunate name]]. Killed off but [[UnexplainedRecovery inexplicably brought back to life]].
* A cast of thousands.
