''Pibgorn'' is a {{webcomic|s}} by Brooke [=McEldowney=], creator of ''ComicStrip/NineChickweedLane'' and is more or less a spin-off of the earlier strip. It follows the life of the eponymous fairy as she reacts to demigods who act like petty bureaucrats, her rival Drusilla the succubus, blustering loon Thorax, demonic game show hosts, idiotic robots and angels of death who act like bike couriers. It allows [=McEldowney=] more latitude to use large words and engage in the DoubleEntendre and good girl art that is his forte. Unlike ''9 Chickweed Lane'', ''Pibgorn'' is highly sexualized, and frequently features nudity, violence, and gratuitous sexual liaisons involving the main cast.

'''Pibgorn''' is a web comic by Brooke [=McEldowney=], creator of ''[[NineChickweedLane 9 Chickweed Lane]]'' and is more or less a spin-off of the earlier strip. It follows the life of the eponymous fairy as she reacts to demigods who act like petty bureaucrats, her rival Drusilla the succubus, blustering loon Thorax, demonic game show hosts, idiotic robots and angels of death who act like bike couriers. It allows [=McEldowney=] more latitude to use large words and engage in the double entendre and good girl art that is his forte. Unlike his other strip 9 Chickweed Lane, Pibgorn is highly sexualized, and frequently features nudity, violence, and gratuitous sexual liaisons involving the main cast.

!!This strip provides examples of:
* AlienSky
* AllAnimalsAreDogs
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys
* AllWomenAreLustful: Since most of the early strips were dedicated to seeing which of the two female leads would get the right to service AuthorAvatar Geoff, it's sort of easy to see that the author is marching merrily on with the same theme he propounded in the parent strip. Indeed, virtually every single female character introduced invariably beds an AuthorAvatar of some variety or another. Frequent motifs include BDSM, demon mind-rape, and sight gags involving nudity of the titular character.
* AllTrollsAreDifferent
* AltText / AuthorTract / WallOfText: The [[http://www.comicsagonistes.hackenbush.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/pibgorn112111.gif "commentary"]] added into a rerun arc, apparently triggered after TheOtherWiki told him he couldn't edit pages on his own work (he didn't like that someone described a scene as [[FetishFuel "the sexualization of music"]] but that's precisely what's going on: in the next scene Geoff tells Dru that he gets the impression she's pimping the music and ''in the commentary'' Brooke admits that Dru can't ''not'' do anything in a supernaturally sexy manner, not to mention all those other scenes of passionate piano playing). Let it also be known that in refute of his argument against the "fetish fuel" theory, that Drusilla employs hip grinds and pelvic thrusts as part of her "performance" during her concerto.
* AnimatedArmor
* {{Antihero}}ine: Drusilla the succubus.
* AuthorAppeal: Even worse than ''9 Chickweed Lane'', if such a thing can be imagined. Every manner of bizarre, disturbing fetish turns up in ''Pibgorn''.
* AuthorAvatar: and Geoff from ''Pibgorn'' is a nerdy musician as well.
* BecauseDestinySaysSo
* BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord
* BoltOfDivineRetribution
* BreakoutCharacter: Drusilla. In the beginning, she was strictly a supporting character--Geoff's DisposableFiance and a bit of a ButtMonkey. Then, Drusilla revealed to Pibgorn that she was a succubus and promptly moved to the forefront as a main character.

* DeliberatelyMonochrome
* DreamingOfTimesGoneBy
* DueToTheDead
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In Drusilla's first story arc, Pibgorn rallies some friendly beasts to scare her away -- and she looks genuinely frightened. Granted, this is before the readers learn she isn't human.
* EverybodyHasLotsOfSex
* EvilGloating
* TheFairFolk
* GenreBlind
* GenreSavvy
* GetItOverWith
* GodivaHair: Drusilla and more recently Pibgorn; ironically the hair fairy has shoulder-length hair -- [[FetishRetardant all over her body]].
* {{Gorn}}: When Oognat, the hair fairy, got chopped to bits, it disturbed a lot of people; sure, she got better but by then, the damage was done.
* GreenEyedMonster

* MixedMetaphor
* MurderTheHypotenuse
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot:
---> '''Pib''': I'm half fairy, half [[RobotGirl bimbesque android]].
** She describes her ''[[{{Squick}} sex organs]]'' as "turbocharged". SomethingAwful goon [=TheOneAndOnlyT=] comments, "I'm kind of [[BileFascination morbidly curious]] about how one [[NightmareFuel turbocharges]] [[FetishRetardant a vagina]]."

* ShesGotLegs: Everyone except the hair fairy, and who'd want to see hairy gams anyway.
* ShoutOut: Death/Mildred looks like Louise Brooks.
* SizeShifter
* StuffBlowingUp: Dru stopped an alien invasion by blowing up a volcano; unfortunately this happened when [[TooSoon a real-life volcano was blowing up]].
* TakeThatCritics: Dru took time off from her busy schedule of being sexy to fry a [[{{Troll}} bridge-structure symbiont]] while [[GrimReaper Mildred]], who does her work at the speed of thought, noted that most [[HumansAreIdiots humans]] would rather [[FlameWar brainlessly argue over minutia on the Internet then actually put their minds to work]].
