Created in 2014 as a Psychonauts fan blog on Tumblr, the author, as they described it, "sort of stumbled into" creating a comic series. It now has over 1400+ strips and 300+ followers. The creator has since released multiple collections of his comics for free on his blog, separated into multiple "seasons."

True to the fandom that inspired it, the comic also occassionally sprinkles in characters and elements from ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' and ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''. As well as a [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover ton of other sources the author seems to just throw in at will.]]

* CrossoverShip: The comic clearly enjoys playing around with these. Norman and Mabel date for an entire story arc, Dipper and Lili date an alternate universe where Norman and Raz are also dating (it's a long story), Gideon is apparently interest enough in Lili to try to sabotage her and Raz's relationship [[DeathFlight (it doesn't end well for him)]], there's some ship teasing between Dib and [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch Lilo Pelekai]], and some general flirting and fluff between the characters is a recurring theme.

A crossover fancomic based on the ''SugarWiki/MysteryKids'' fandom, ''Whispering Rock and Roll!'' follows the adventures of the main characters from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}'', ''WesternAnimation/ParaNorman'', and ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'', as they embark on epic adventures exploring supernatural phenomenon... but mostly just spend their time messing around and getting into comical hijinks.

!This Webcomic contains examples of

* AdaptationalComicRelief: Every character acts a little sillier than the source material, to varying degrees. [[Main/CloudcuckooLander Mabel is pretty much the same, though.]]
* ArtEvolution: Despite still being extremely simplistic, the art has noticably improved. Raz went from looking like an open deodorant bottle with literal white skin to actually looking like, well, Raz.
* AscendedExtra: Salma Ramsay from ''Paranorman'' was a minor character who barely appeared for two scenes. In the comic, she's Neil's girlfriend and a [[TeamMemberInTheAdaptation major member of the team.]]
* ButtMonkey: Dib's existence is just barely acknowledged by the other Mystery Kids. When it is, it's usually because he's in horrible pain or they're trying to avoid him.
* CrossoverPunchline: ''The Mooninites'' from WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce show up multiple times as [[HarmlessVillain totally useless gag villains.]] [[Literature/TheCatcherInTheRye Holden Caulfield]] also inexplicably shows up out of nowhere one day and just sorta hangs around, with no explanation.
* CrossoverShip: The comic clearly enjoys playing around with these. Norman and Mabel date for an entire story arc, Dipper and Lili date an alternate universe where Norman and Raz are also dating (it's a long story), Gideon is apparently interest enough in Lili to try to sabotage her and Raz's relationship [[DeathFlight (it doesn't end well for him)]], there's some ship teasing between Dib and [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch Lilo Pelekai]], and some general flirting and fluff between the characters is a recurring theme.
* DemotedToExtra: Coach Oleander was very briefly the main character when the comic started. Within only a few months he became a side character, [[LampshadeHanging a fact the author occasionally jokes about.]]
* DenserAndWackier: The comic is far more focused on humor than serious adventures, with some occasional exceptions. Likely to compensate for the lower production budget.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Early comics featured banners that seemed to imply they belonged to their own comics entirely, like "Raz Loves Lili" and "Oleander's Exciting Life." Oleander had a much more prominent role, and the comic was exclusively based Psychonauts before the other members of the Mystery Kids just showed up out of the blue one day.
* OriginalCharacter: Done mostly sparingly. The most prominent of them is a Psychonauts agent named "Elijah Rovak" who has robotic parts. Whenever he's involved in a storyline, he's usually given an antagonistic role. Sometimes as a threat, other times as a goofy nuisance.
* RuderAndCruder: With no S&P or FCC to worry about, the comic is filled with way more swearing than any of its source materials. There's also no filter on "adult subject matter." One of the earliest comics features Raz telling Oleander he has to take [[BlackComedy Lili to an abortion clinic]] as a lie to avoid going to a TV party with Oleander.
* ShoutOut: Comes with the territory of making a crossover comic. Still, there's a few unsuspected nuggets occasionally. Like the blog's own banner being an [[Music/SufjanStevens inexplicable tribute to Sufjan Stevens "Illinoise" album.]]
* StylisticSuck: The comic's bread and butter. The whole thing is drawn in MS Paint with a pixel brush, every character is a copy+pasted stock template, and the drawings are extremely simplistic. It's technically a sprite comic.
