History Webcomic / OneHundredAndOneDalmatianStreetAnimalControl

* EvenEvilHasStandards: While waiting for Delilah to arrive with her "human owner" to arrive to retrieve Delgado, Alfred overhears said puppy whimpering and crying. Feeling bad for him, Alfred tries to explain that he doesn't actually feed dogs chocolate or stuff animals, preferring to use them as just scare tactics, only to find that Delgado is actually having a nightmare. After waking him up, he tries to comfort the pup to no avail as the latter demands him to [[DontYouDarePityMe "stop pretending to care"]], making Alfred [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realize he went too far.]] And he's ''beyond [[OhCrap horrified]]'' once [[spoiler: Hunter reveals everything to him about his involvement with Cruella and is beyond downtrodden when he realizes that his ''own'' involvment with her almost cost the Dalmatian clans' lives.]]

* TheMentallyDisturbed: Two sets of pages depict [[spoiler:Alfred witnessing some rather jarring hallucinations of ghostly figures, one of which having the bodily shape of an adult dog that addresses him directly, Said pages heavily imply that Alfred may suffer from schizophrenia.]]

* TragicVillain: Alfred slowly starts to go this path much later in the comic. [[spoiler:A rather tense moment where Alfred unknowingly triggers Hunter's dog-like behavior leads to the former threatening him, asking him if he knows where they take people like him, all the while a single panel depicts a faceless boy (possibly a younger Alfred) surrounded by mist. Taken further later in the comic when the Dalmatian family witnesses Alfred suffering a mental breakdown, and then passing out because of it.]]

* TheReveal: It's eventually revealed that [[spoiler: Cruella was never planning on having Alfred capture the Dalmatian clan, she was actually manipulating Alfred's fear tactics to attempt to scare them into leaving London, which would've given Cruella the opportunity to grab them easily with nothing to stop her.]]

* VillainousBSoD: [[Alfred succumbs to this when he eventually realizes that his former client, Cruella De Vil would've succeeded in getting her Dalmatian coat had his tactics actually succeeded.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: While waiting for Delilah to arrive with her "human owner" to arrive to retrieve Delgado, Alfred overhears said puppy whimpering and crying.

After waking him up, he tries to comfort the pup to no avail as the latter demands him to [[DontYouDarePityMe "stop pretending to care"]], making Alfred [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realize he went too far.]] And he's ''beyond [[OhCrap horrified]]'' once [[spoiler: Hunter reveals everything to him about his involvement with Cruella.]]

* GoryDiscretionShot: Subverted. While no one actually dies and no gore is shown in the comic itself, the first few panels do [[DarkerAndEdgier show some blood.]]

* GoryIndiscretionShot: Subverted. While the comic itself is still readable for younger audiences, the beginning of the comic does [[DarkerAndEdgier show some blood.]]

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Alfred believes that his method of using fear to keep animals in line is perfectly fine and not evil at all. It's only when Hunter compares him to his evil aunt and asks a poignant question that the old man realizes he's in the wrong.

-->'''Hunter:''' Oh yeah? What do you think she used to manipulate me with? [[SarcasmMode Love!?]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: While waiting for Delilah to arrive with her "human owner" to arrive to retrieve Delgado, Alfred overhears said puppy whimpering and crying. Feeling bad for him, Alfred tries to explain that he doesn't actually feed dogs chocolate or stuff animals, preferring to use them as just scare tactics, only to find that Delgado is actually having a nightmare.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: [[OriginalCharacter Alfred Blight]] looks slightly more realistic compared to the more stylized human characters from the show.

* JerkassRealization: Alfred after agreeing to a truce with the Dalmatian family hesitantly states that he does regret his actions against them, recognising that they were unprofessional.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Hunter, having learned that Alfred is able to speak to dogs like him does '''not''' hesitate to [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech chew the old man out for using this ability solely just to traumatize animals at his job as Animal Control director]].

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: [[spoiler:Delilah can't help but burst out laughing when Hunter reveals to her what he ''thought'' was his aunt's idea of retrieving fur from the former's family as a coat. (To just shave the fur off and let it grow back, much like shearing sheep).]]

* BegoneBribe: Averted. [[spoiler:Alfred after having cornered the Dalmatian family in their own home agrees to leave them alone for good... if they allow him to take Hunter away to his actual family (which he lacks to begin with). '''None''' of the family, especially [[PapaWolf Doug]] will have any of it.]]
* BerserkButton: Delilah is quick to scold Dolly and Dylan [[spoiler:when they find out Delgado was left behind when the former two went to rescue Fergus]] which leads to this exchange:

* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler: Cruella's mouth appears on the 19th page, during a phone conversation between her and Alfred.]]
* EasilyForgiven: Dizzy, Dee Dee, Dolly [[spoiler:(and even Da Vinci)]] hold no ill towards Hunter for unknowingly helping Cruella capture them and their family. Averted however with most of the Dalmatian family, especially Delilah.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: While waiting for [[spoiler:Delilah to arrive with her "human owner" to arrive to retrieve Delgado, Alfred overhears said puppy whimpering and crying. Feeling bad for him, Alfred tries to explain that he doesn't actually feed dogs chocolate or stuff animals, preferring to use them as just scare tactics, only to find that Delgado is actually having a nightmare. After waking him up, he tries to comfort the pup to no avail as the latter demands him to [[DontYouDarePityMe "stop pretending to care"]], making Alfred [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realize he went too far]].]]

* GilliganCut: [[spoiler: Alfred's lieutenant, Lilith suggests that Delgado should have a dog treat despite the former's protests. Cue the ''48 Seconds Later...'' time card followed by a panel of Delgado happily munching away at a Kanine Krunchie.]]
* GroupHug: [[spoiler:Right after Delilah hugs Hunter, Doug, Dylan and Dolly are quick to join in.]]

* HopeSpot: After just barely making it home after [[spoiler:rescuing Delgado]], the Dalmatian family [[spoiler:(and Hunter)]] hide in the house to wait for the bus to make their escape. The bus does in fact arrive outside their house, [[spoiler: only for the doors to open, revealing Alfred]].

* JerkassHasAPoint: Delilah may have been rather harsh towards Hunter after he comes to the Dalmatian household, refusing to let him stay with her family and all, but she isn't unjustified. After all, he ''is'' the great-nephew of the infamous [[CruellaToAnimals Cruella De Vil]], and he ''did'' aid her in kidnapping the whole Dalmatian family at the end of the series. Hunter may have been [[HeelFaceTurn reformed]], but he's still a De Vil - and for that, Delilah has every reason to distrust him. [[spoiler:It's only when Hunter talks to her about his DarkAndTroubledPast that she warms up to him.]]

* MoodWhiplash: After Fergus is captured, Alfred throws him into a dark room lit only by UV lights, showing only the outlines and silhouettes of what appears to be [[TaxidermyTerror stuffed wild animals]], bones and surgical tools. Fergus is justifiably terrified, [[spoiler:until Lilith turns the light on, revealing that the "bodies" are just stuffed toys.]]

** [[spoiler:Alfred after witnessing Delgado suffer a really bad nightmare and accuse him of being apathetic to his situation.]]
** [[spoiler:Delilah when she hears it from Hunter himself just how horribly his aunt had been treating him for years.]]
* MythologyGag: [[spoiler:Lilith, Lieutenant of the animal control upon seeing Delgado for the first time heads out to get him some [[WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians Kanine Krunchies]].]]

* NotNowKiddo: Happens whilst [[spoiler:Doug explains to Dolly and Dylan their plan of rescuing Delgado, unaware that the aforementioned pup is right behind him. When Delgado tries to get his attention, Doug says this trope to him before realizing who he's actually talking to seconds later.]]

** Fergus' reaction when [[spoiler:Alfred recalls the insult he had given him, followed by his own name.]]
** Dolly and Dylan when they both realize [[spoiler:that Alfred lives in the house opposite of theirs.]]

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: Alfred makes the mistake of terrifying Hunter right in front of [[MamaBear Delilah, whom retaliates by biting him.]]]]

-->'''Alfred''': Still... [[spoiler:Not bad for a ''"Wrinkles Mcgee"''. Eh, '''[[SayMyName Fergus?]]''']]
** And much later when [[spoiler:Delilah tries to get Delgado back.]]

-->'''Alfred''': [[spoiler:''(Chuckles)'' "Two legger"?! Haven't heard that one in ''years! (Cue [[OhCrap Oh Crap]] look from Delilah.)'']]
** [[spoiler:When Delilah and Hunter finally have a chance to talk things through, after explaining how badly Cruella treated him, the latter finishes with this:]]
--> '''Hunter''': [[spoiler:...And in those rare moments when she '''''was there'''''... She made me wish '''''I wasn't'''''.]]
** Much later when [[spoiler:Hunter has a chance to interrogate Alfred on his business, calling him out for using his ability to speak to animals just to terrify them... until the old man fires back with this:]]
--> '''Alfred''': [[spoiler: '''''[[ArmorPiercingQuestion Where are your parents?]]''''']]

* YouDidntSeeThat: Later in the comic when the Dalmatian family realize that their best (and only) option of [[spoiler: saving Delgado is to have Hunter pose as their owner. After finding him on the ground floor of his former office building, Dolly notices an open door and looks inside to find a room with a single table seating two mannequins made of equipment and other junk posed to resemble human adults. Cue Hunter immediately slamming the door shut whilst giving Dolly a look that fits this trope.]]

* DefrostingIceQueen: Alfred slowly becomes this after [[spoiler:hearing it from Hunter himself how much the Dalmatian family truly care for him, finally agreeing to drop all charges and leave them alone, though rather reluctantly.]]

* HopeSpot: After just barely making it home after [[spoiler:rescuing Delgado]], the Dalmatian family [[spoiler:(and Hunter)]] hide in the house to wait for the bus to make their escape with. The bus does in fact arrive outside their house, [[spoiler: only for the doors to open, revealing Alfred]].
** And right after that, [[spoiler: Dawkins immediately deadlocks the house, blocking off all entryways to the house with almost impenetrable metal... [[DidntThinkThisThrough All except for the door itself]], which Alfred manages to hack down with a saw.]]

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: [[OriginalCharacter Alfred Blight]] looks slightly more realistic than the more stylized human characters from the show.

--> '''Alfred''': [[spoiler: '''''Where are your parents?''''']]

* TearsOfRemorse: Poor Hunter is prone to these due to having to live with the guilt of obliviously helping his great aunt almost murder an innocent family of Dalmatians.
