'''[[http://johnnyoptimism.blogspot.com/ Johnny Optimism]]''' is a [[CutAndPasteComic Cut-and-Paste webcomic]] that presents a [[BlackComedy darkly humorous]] look at the everyday life of a [[SoapOperaDisease horribly ill]], wheel-chair bound boy who is trying to [[ThePollyanna remain optimistic]] despite his [[YourDaysAreNumbered limited chances of survival]]. His only true friend is his dog, Lance.

!!This comic provides examples of:
* ABoyAndHisX - Johny's dog Lance is with him ''all the time'', as a side-effect of the strip's [[CutAndPasteComic Cut-and-Paste nature]].
* BackAlleyDoctor - Well, he doesn't seem to be running an overtly shady business, but Johnny's doctor certainly nails the "incompetent" part of this.
* BeatPanel - Used frequently.
* BodyHorror - Some of the doctors more...''creative'' diagnosis fall into this category.
* CuteAndPsycho - Hinted at with the little girl with the [[CompanionCube toy duck]].
-->'''Girl''': I don't have any parents. I'm an orphan.
-->'''Johnny''': I'm sorry. What happened to them?
-->'''Girl''': [[SelfMadeOrphan They asked too many questions.]].

** ManiacMonkeys
* {{Jerkass}} - The girl with the leg braces.
* KickTheDog - Most of the girl with leg braces dialogue.
** TheDogBitesBack - occasionaly
-->'''Girl''': Hey Johnny, the doctor said you have ''athletes foot''. Do you know what "irony" is?
--->'''Johnny''': Yeah...[[StealthPun your legs]].
* LittlestCancerPatient - PlayedForLaughs
* TheDiseaseThatShallNotBeNamed - We never learn what exactly Johnny's ''got''. We just know that it's terrible.
* ThePollyanna - Johnny never loses hope, although unlike most examples of this trope he is keenly aware of the horribleness of his situation.
* WorldOfPun - A good chunk of the strips are pun-heavy.
