History Webcomic / LedByAMadMan

%%* FiveManBand: Discussed and invoked by Daniel, with...
%%** TheHero: Daniel
%%** TheLancer: Timothy
%%** TheSmartGuy: Richard/Timothy
%%** TheChick: Karen/Richard
%%** TagalongKid: Ian

* AdamAndEvePlot: Invoked by Daniel, though it was quickly denied.
* AfterTheEnd
* AngstWhatAngst: Used straight for Daniel and (generally) Ian, but averted for the rest of the cast.
* ApocalypseHow: Either Class 0 or Class 3a, with the characters assuming the former, though there's been no proof to support or deny just yet.
* BishieSparkle: Richard
* CelibateHero: Daniel, as that's not what Kings do. No one in the comic follows the logic either.
** Presumably Richard too, as he never married.
* CheerfulChild: Ian, usually
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Karen's Victorious husband, Brian
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Daniel
-->Karen: Morning, Daniel.
-->Daniel: (groggy) Wait, why is it morning? Oh right. Morning happens.
-->Karen: [[FlatWhat What?]]

* CrazyPrepared: For an electrician, Timothy knows quite a lot on outdoor survival strategies
* CrypticBackgroundReference
* DeadpanSnarker: Timothy has shades of this

* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Exact details aren't known except for mentions of a civil war and mass genocides.
* FiveManBand: Discussed and invoked by Daniel, with...
** TheHero: Daniel
** TheLancer: Timothy
** TheSmartGuy: Richard/Timothy
** TheChick: Karen/Richard
** TagalongKid: Ian
* GenderRarityValue: Or it would have been if if Timothy weren't gay, Richard weren't "decrepit," and Ian a little older.
* [[AGodAmI A King Am I]]: Daniel is pretty intent on this
* GhostCity
* ImagineSpot: While not explicitly shown to the audience, Timothy has his entire affair with Richard figured out (at least in his mind).
* {{Iyashikei}}: Despite the premise, the series comes off as this, not unlike ''Manga/YokohamaKaidashiKikou''.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Daniel
** For example, in one part he tricks Ian into walking with eyes closed, but he does it to shield him from the huge pile of human corpses they're walking by.
* LimitedWardrobe
* MayDecemberRomance: At least, if Richard reciprocates Timothy's feelings
* Mix And Match: AfterTheEnd + SliceOfLife
* [[CoolOldGuy Moe Old Guy]]: Richard
* TheNapoleon: Daniel
* NightmareFetishist: A more innocent version. At first, Ian starts up a collection of photos of the dead, in order to remember them, though he's recently seemed to avoid that particular hobby.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: Completely averted.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: At times, there's hints of this with Daniel
* ObliviousToLove: Richard
* ParentalAbandonment: Though, death is a pretty good reason...
* PermaShave
* TheRival
* RousseauWasRight: Despite what led to the events before the series, the cast are well-intentioned people.
* RuleSixtyThree: [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pJMCl1TE0Fc/TyRmUTPmQWI/AAAAAAAABIQ/syeqy07JFZk/s1600/twoyear.jpg As seen here]]
* ScavengerWorld
* SceneryPorn / SceneryGorn: While it's not as detailed as other examples, several panels are specifically of the landscape, both ruined or otherwise.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Karen
* StepfordSmiler: Richard makes sure to keep a smiling face around the rest of the cast
* StraightGay: Timothy, with the older Richard as his {{Love Interest|s}}.
* TeamMom: Arguably, Richard counts as this, at least until Karen is introduced.
* TrueCompanions
* TrueNeutral: Daniel
* WhiteAndGreyMorality: Despite the acknowledgement that the rules of society don't apply when there's no society, the cast tends to keep to them regardless, with scavenging for food being the only real exception.
** Though, as the series progresses, it seems to be coming close to GreyAndGrayMorality
* [[YaoiFangirl Yaoi Fangirl/Fanguy]]: Daniel seems to be of this vein, constantly making comments about Timothy's crush, and Karen seems enthused by the idea as well.

* BiTheWay: At one point, Daniel mentions being married to a man and a woman (at the same time).

* GhostCities

* FanDumb: Around the introduction of Timothy, there was a rabidly vocal small minority whose anti-Timothy and Anti-Richard comments nearly led to a permanent hiatus.

''Led by a Mad Man'' is an AfterTheEnd {{Webcomic}} following a [[FiveManBand band of five people]], made up of Daniel(the titular madman who is determined to become the king of this newly abandoned country), Ian (a boy he picks up on the way), Richard (Ian's grandfather), Timothy, and Karen. They're now [[WalkingTheEarth traveling aimlessly]], presumably the sole survivors after a vaguely explained [[DepopulationBomb mass genocide]].

* AdamAndEvePlot: Invoked by Daniel, though it was quickly denied

* CloudCuckooLander: Daniel

* NoBodyLeftBehind: Completely averted

* TheRival:

* StraightGay: Timothy, with the older Richard as his LoveInterest
* TeamMom: Argueably, Richard counts as this, at least until Karen is introduced.
* TokenGirl: Karen

* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: Karen's husband, Brian

** Though, as the series progresses, it seems to be coming close to GreyAndGreyMorality
