History Webcomic / ShreddedMoose

* DeadBabyComedy: Comics in 2007 were heavily dependent on this, mid 2008 use of this trope was greatly reduced.

* StrawFeminist: Portrayed as an angry orc. Monique begins as one of these as well but quickly subverts this trope to become a central character in Shredded Moose.

The central theme of Shredded Moose centered around providing examples of reoccuring trends in society that caused people to behave stupidly or impeded on the 1st amendment, which were demonstrated in the comic and in the [[AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent often unrelated, accompanying blogs]] by Chris Hall who wrote them as if they were written by his AuthorAvatar, Brew.

-->-- '''Shredded Moose's slogan and mission statement.'''

->''"You suck, dad"''
-->-- [[WackyFratboyHijinx Main protagonist and resident fratboy]], '''Brew''', ending a significant, paradigm shifting storyline about kidnapping, blackmail, assassination attempts and FBI conspiracies with a bad pun.


Shredded Moose is a discontinued gaming webcomic written by Chris Hall and illustrated by famed children's book illustrator Brian C. Krümm (who later masterminded Eartha the Sea Turtle with Dan Bodenstein) that circulated on the internet from 2007 to 2009. It went through a large number of revisions and changes in ideology during its lifespan but its premise started out simple and easy to follow. It mostly concerned the often raunchy, often {{NSFW}} [[HilarityEnsues wacky misadventures]] of TwoGamersOnACouch, hot-tempered womanizing fratboy, Brew and his foil, a meek, kind-hearted, StraightMan in a green hoodie, Trip with jabs and mockery at the then-current 2007 video game/pop culture.

* MoralDissonance: Very high at the start of the comic but slowly readjusted.

* StuffedInTheFridge: Heavily subverted by Monique in response to her mother's death. Rather than seeking vengeance for her mother's death, Monique embraces the ideals of UsefulNotes/{{Feminism}} and grows up to be a strong, proactive person with the desire to protect other women, including her young, impressionable daughter from extreme misogyny like she witnessed. It turns out she doesn’t view Brew as a completely irredeemable monster but wants to prevent his inconsiderate attitudes from leading him to become completely misogynistic like her mother’s rapists.

And once that storyline came to a close in January 2009, Shredded Moose went through another FaceHeelTurn and became a SliceOfLife comic about Trip's positive and negative experiences in high school with a very dramatic ToneShift, becoming very mild and light-hearted with no senseless killing, crude humor or psychological trauma.

* NeverBareheaded: Possibly Brew, who wears his trademark baseball cap at all times [[GenreSavvy even in the shower and over other hats and wigs.]]

Joining our heroes were second StraightMan uhh... squirrel, [[{{Mascot}} an anthropomorphic talking animal,]] Muff, and his curious dating partner, a slim human woman named Lisa with a gung-ho attitude. Last but not least was Monique, a young, redheaded mother clad in a trademark purple sweater who’s greatly concerned about Brew’s treatment of woman. Originally intended as a StrawFeminist, shortly after her debut, Monique blossoms into the female lead.

* LostForever: About half the comics are irretrievable unless Hall and Krumm decide to re-release them, which is unlikely.

* AllPsychologyIsFreudian: The reason behind Brew’s [[JerkAss jerkassery]]? It turns he was a spoiled socialite enabled by his father, a wealthy AceAttorney who treated his wife, Brew’s mother like a servant resulting in Brew’s own complex towards women.

* CreatorBreakdown: Heavily during 2009. Due to lack of acceptance and interest from readers and critics, complications with Krümm and the vow to never miss a single deadline on their schedule, Shredded Moose's art visibly suffered. The authors soldiered on though, until they finished their last storyline.

Joining our heroes were second StraightMan uhh... squirrel, [[{{Mascot}} an anthropomorphic talking animal,]] Muff, and his curious dating partner, a slim GungHo type human woman named Lisa. Last but not least was Monique, a young mother clad in a trademark purple sweater who’s greatly concerned about Brew’s treatment of woman. Originally intended as a StrawFeminist, Monique soon blossoms into the female lead.

In mid 2008, Hall and Krumm began to shift Shredded Moose into a series of story arcs that tackled more serious forms of societal stupidity. Backstories for Brew and Monique were developed; providing knowledge on their upbringings and how it shaped their personalities. Trip gained an unrequited crush on Nicole, a young brunette woman who attends the same classes as him.

* ArtShift: Because Krumm had broken his arm and his drawing tablet stolen, Hall was forced to partially draw the comic.
* AuthorAvatar: Brew and Trip for Chris Hall and Brian Krumm respectively.

* CreatorBreakdown: Heavily during 2009. Due to lack of acceptance and interest from readers and critics, complications with Krumm and the vow to never miss a single deadline on their schedule, Shredded Moose's art visibly suffered. The authors soldiered on though, until they finished their last storyline.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: Brew, Trip and Monique all have inner revolution and a change in thinking that lead to a happy ending

From mid 2008 to January 2009, Shredded Moose, eschewed its crude gag formula and tackled a storyline in the PsychologicalThriller genre, focusing solely on Brew and Monique and rife with [Didn'tSeeThatComing LeftTurns] and PlotTwists.

A final storyline was introduced in July 2009 focusing on Brew's reflecting on his treatment of women and Monique's influence on his life. After reflecting on her life-risking act of saving him and her love for her daughter, he finally sees the human side to women and resolves to treat them better.

* HatesEveryoneEqually: According to WordOfGod, Shredded Moose wasn't about singling out the individual but mocking reoccurring social trends that they considered "idiotic"

* NeverBareheaded: Possibly Brew, who wears his trademark baseball cap at all times even in the shower and over other hats and wigs.
