Line #49 PuppyDogEyes/WebComics


1	* ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'': Fighter supposedly used them [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2003/07/01/episode-302-that-was-a-mistake/ on one occasion]], but because of the [[SpriteComic art style]] of the comic, we don't actually see them. As he tried to use them on [[CardCarryingVillain Black Mage]], they didn't work.
2	* ''Webcomic/AlienDice'' gives us [[http://aliendice.com/blog/2013/08/30/day-26-part-5-page-06/ Swiftpaw]], who has clearly mastered the trope. It helps that he's based on a fox.
3	* ''Webcomic/BeyondTheEnd'': [[https://beyondtheend.gay/index.html?pg=26#showComic End]] has a tendency to break out the puppy dog eyes, just by his nature.
4	* ''Webcomic/CarryOn'': Kathy can do these, but as Scooter puts it, "Somehow, "big Bambi eyes" just don't look authentic on a hyena."
5	* ''Webcomic/TheChapelChronicles'': Chapel uses them in the strip, [[http://www.chapelchronicles.com/23 Chapel Guevara]], to try to guilt her parents into getting, well, a puppy.
6	* ''Webcomic/CollegeRoomiesFromHell'': Satirized with Marsha Hart's '[[http://www.crfh.net/d/20011211.html anime eyes]], which is almost superhumanly persuasive to the opposite gender.
7	* ''Webcomic/CodeNameHunter'': Prince Matthew can pull this trope off [[http://www.codenamehunter.com/archive/comic/2006/11/06 convincingly]] despite being a mouse.
8	* ''Webcomic/{{Curtailed}}'': Fox attempts this on Seley in [[http://curtailedcomic.com/comic/121-raviolis/ this strip]]. Too bad Seley's immune.
9	* ''Webcomic/TheCyantianChronicles'': Used effectively by Tae and Kea, the Akaelae Twins and ineffectively by [[spoiler:Khaelis]]. Ironically, that's both literal and figurative Puppy Dog Eyes in both examples. Tae and Kea are wolves and [[spoiler:Khaelis]] is a fox.
10	* ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'': Jyrras Gianna generally employs these, helped in part by being the same age yet half the size of most of the cast. Lampshaded twice, in one strip where the other character is immune and in another where they are used on him (prompting a bemused "[[HeyThatsMyLine That's my gimmick!]]" when he recovers).
11	%%* ''Webcomic/DNATheWebcomic'': Species X has these, especially when they are sad.
12	%%* ''Webcomic/EerieCuties'': [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/those_two_girls Nina Delacroix]]. She once even [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_am_all_alone gets called on for it]].
13	* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'':
14	** In [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2006-03-29 this]] strip the rest of the main cast uses it for enhanced peer pressure. That is, to get Susan to sing karaoke.
15	** In [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2002-06-21 this one]] to get the principal to help cover up Elliot's [[GenderBender being turned female.]]
16	** In [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2007-09-21 this one]], in which Sarah, intentionally or unintentionally, uses puppy dog eyes to make the principal allow her to wear a beret. In [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2005-10-30 this one]], Sarah does it to show off her general cuteness... err... that is, distract Susan... Yes.
17	** In [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2007-09-18 this one]], where Catalina Bobcat used them to get out of trouble. [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2008-06-20 And just because]].
18	** Even the [[http://www.egscomics.com/sketchbook/?date=2008-12-12 ads]] make use of it.
19	** Susan has [[http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/?date=2010-02-12 finally]] used them too...inadvertently, when she learns that Justin doesn't have a version of her on his bridge crew in the ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'' game. She's so surprised when told she's doing it that she feels her face to confirm it.
20	** Grace managed to "[[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-08-09 convince]]" Ellen and Nanase to agree on a double date with her and [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2007-02-12 Tedd]].
21	** Tedd, shocked by his own bout of badassery and [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-09-30 in need of a hug]].
22	** In [[http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=23 this early non-canonical [=NewsPaper=] strip]], Grace has a dream about being a goddess in the ''VideoGame/BlackAndWhite'' VideoGame. When she meets her opponent ( a version of Tedd), she convinces him to be her friend instead by using this technique.
23	%%* ''Webcomic/EverydayHeroes'': The first day Summer met [[http://eheroes.smackjeeves.com/comics/1888400/to-be-used-only-for-good/ Carrie]].
24	* ''Webcomic/FauxPas'':
25	** Randy can make it impossible to talk to him about sex with this.
26	** [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp1.cgi?959 Deliberately "turned on"]] to get help in searching for a missing rabbit.
27	%%* ''Webcomic/FletcherApts'': In the latter strips, [[http://www.fletcherapts.com/archive/20061113.html Doug does this quite often.]]
28	* ''Webcomic/{{Forestdale}}'': Being an actual dalmatian puppy, albeit an [[BarefootCartoonAnimal anthropomorphic]] one, Dallas Burnside can pull this off quite easily.
29	* ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'':
30	** In a subversion, Florence replies to an enormous {{terraforming}} robot's [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1400/fc01339.htm use of puppy dog eyes]] by saying, "Sorry. Puppy dog eyes only work when the eyes aren't bigger than my head."
31	** Inevitably, Florence is [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff2700/fc02647.htm ordered]] to use them at weapons-grade intensity. Being a canine, they work as designed.
32	* ''Webcomic/FurryExperience'': [[http://furryexperience.smackjeeves.com/comics/1251234/page-150/ Used by Cat]] ''and'' Dawn to get Ronnie's father to take them to a nice restaurant they both want to go to.
33	* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' [[SideStoryBonusArt side story]] has an accident where a MadScientist [[NiceJobBreakingItHero overdid]] it:
34	-->[[http://twitter.com/Othar/status/18461956848 For the next year or so all the herring they pulled up said "You were mean to poor Othar." It was an unstable mutation, what's the big deal?]]\
35	[[http://twitter.com/Othar/status/18619514589 Okay, yes, so a lot of people almost starved to death due to "ethical conflicts". How was I to know that herring have such big sad eyes?]]
36	* ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'':
37	** Halo does this to reduce Maxima's anger at her, thereby proving herself a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak. ([[WordOfGod The cartoonist says]] it's about 50% effective.)
38	** [[AmazonianBeauty Anvil]] later uses [[https://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-838-ill-have-the-wedgie-salad/ her own set]] to convince Maxima to wear a thong on her [[BelligerentSexualTension not-date]] with Deus, though Maxima calls it creepy for an adult woman to pull it off.
39	* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'': It's not sure whether she's aware of it or not, but [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/view.php?date=2002-08-15 this page]] really accentuate Annie's eyes when she's apologizing.
40	%%* ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFoxhound'': [[MeaningfulName Appropriately enough]], used by the Sorrow in [[http://www.gigaville.com/comic.php?id=337 this strip]].
41	* ''Webcomic/LsEmpire'': Parodied. Carnation uses her eyes to hypnotize her brother Void (she uses her voice to hypnotize everyone else).
42	* ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'': Despite being a [[GenderBender boy turned into a girl]] and refusing to act even slightly girly, Ash has a nice line in [[http://www.misfile.com/?date=2004-07-26 puppy]] [[http://www.misfile.com/?date=2006-12-21 dog]] [[http://www.misfile.com/?date=2008-06-24 eyes]]. Of course, s/he is [[http://www.misfile.com/?date=2008-12-11 vulnerable to them]], too.
43	* ''Webcomic/MonstersCanBeHeroesToo'': In [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/monsters-can-be-heroes-too/jiggle/viewer?title_no=281278&episode_no=7 "Jiggle"]], that's how Lime the Slime convinces Coal that she's a friend, when her previously dark eyes start sparkling and we get a zoomed in panel of them.
44	* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': [[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1256.html Both Elan and Sunny use this trick simultaneously on Lien]] after asking her if now they're all friends. Apparently, even a paladin cannot resist eleven puppy-dog eyes at the same time. [[spoiler:Yes, Sunny is a beholder with eight eyestalks. With the central eye and Elan's pair, that's eleven.]]
45	-->'''O-Chul:''' There may be those that would shame you for failing to resist eleven puppy dog eyes, but I stand not among them.
46	* ''Webcomic/TheOtherGreyMeat'': Both Beth and Sylene have tried this tactic on John. (It didn't work.)
47	* ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' used this in [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/5/26/ "The Unhorse"]], although as an expression of sadness instead of persuasion.
48	* ''Webcomic/PixieTrixComix'': New character Zadie demonstrates the tactic [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/pixie-trix-comix/would-be-helpful/ here.]]
49	* ''Webcomic/PlanescapeSurvivalGuide'': Milny's puppy dog eyes convinced three ''demons'' to help her save her friends in this [[http://planescapecomic.com/81.html strip]].
50	* ''Webcomic/PlatinumGrit'': Jeremy [=MacConnor=] doesn't even know he has these, but they're his default expression.
51	-->'''Kate:''' Oh, God, can you try not to look so young?
52	* ''Webcomic/{{Precocious}}'': [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2011/10/25 This is]] Yvette's reaction to the prospect of being water-ballooned.
53	* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'':
54	** [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=251 Dora pulls this on Marten]] to get him to take her side in a dispute. Immediately {{Lampshade\|Hanging}}d.
55	--->'''Marten:''' Cute, pouty girl... in close proximity... brain... melted...
56	** The [[ArtificialIntelligence AI]] "Spookybot" [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3925 pulls]] one on Roko, complete with broad smile, while discussing [[spoiler:becoming friends with Roko]]. Spookybot's {{red eyes\|TakeWarning}}, [[HellishPupils slitted pupils]], and [[ClarkesThirdLaw incomprehensible personal power]] undermine the effect.
57	--->'''Spookybot:''' Because [[MesACrowd we]]'re so immensely charming!\
58	'''Roko:''' No, that's definitely not it.
59	* ''Webcomic/SandraOnTheRocks'': Puppy-Dog Eyes have an unfortunate effect on Lavali in [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/sandra-on-the-rocks/lesbeans-ruuuuule this strip,]] rendering her incapable of telling Aaina that Sandra isn't gay.
60	* ''WebComic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'': {{Defied}} in [[http://smbc-comics.com/comic/cute "Cute"]], where a scientist doesn't want puppies to do this all the time regardless of their mental state and invents a way to make them look more like how they're actually feeling.
61	* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'':
62	** For being a [[BlobMonster carbosilicate amorph]], Sergeant Schlock is distressingly [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2003-11-23 good]] at doing [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2009-09-02 these]]. It even works when he [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2007-12-07 has]] [[ExtraEyes more than two eyes.]]
63	** Para Ventura [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2010-08-29 does]] [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2010-12-26 this]] too, though it doesn't always help.
64	* ''Webcomic/SequentialArt'':
65	** [[CatGirl Kat]] [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=275 uses this,]] albeit sparingly, when she needs some help from her house-mate.
66	** Kat herself is [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=358 resistant]] but not immune to this effect.
67	* ''Webcomic/TheSilverEye'': This sort of pleading, pitiful look is described as the "orphan face".
68	* ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'': The cloying critters of the Whimsy Corporation pull this on Sweetheart -- who is herself a dog.
69	* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': In a [[https://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/guest-comic-by-saane guest comic]], Sally deploys these when asking Undine to give her and the others a ride with her MakingASplash powers. Undine, reluctantly, agrees.
70	%%* ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'':
71	%%** Buwaro [[http://www.sdamned.com/2008/08/08012008/ does this a lot]]. [[http://www.sdamned.com/2008/06/06262008/ The rest of the cast isn't above it either]].
72	%%** Also PlayedForLaughs by [[http://www.sdamned.com/comic/430 Kieri.]]
73	%%* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' has it [[http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=050120 here]] with the main character and his dimensional counterpart.
74	* ''Webcomic/WapsiSquare'': [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/11292002/ This]] strip has Monica using puppy dog eyes to convince Darren to watch her dog while she's on vacation.
75	%%* ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'': [[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp11162009.shtml Rory's cute look]].
76	* ''Webcomic/TheStoryOfAnima'': [[http://tapastic.com/episode/64217 Just one look at Penelope's]] [[http://tapastic.com/episode/64506 is enough to make Dante spill his backstory to her]].
77	* ''Webcomic/TalesOfTheQuestor'': Quentyn does it to get info from an elder. Apparently a pretty common technique among Racconan kits.
78	* ''Webcomic/TwoGuysAndGuy'': Played with when Guy's [[http://www.twogag.com/archives/2966 "puppy eyes"]] turn out to be a glare sufficient to intimidate the cop who just pulled her over for speeding.
79	--> "Lord Jesus! What breed of puppy is that? Hell-hound?"
80	%%* ''Webcomic/TheWhiteboard'': Jinx apparently makes it work over a video-free phone call.
81	* ''Webcomic/WelcomeToTheConvenienceStore'': In [[http://www.webtoonlive.com/webtoon/Welcome%20to%20the%20Convenience%20Store/ch7/ this chapter]], when a daughter is asking her dad to buy her a snack (when he only has enough money for said snack or his cigarettes). STA--ARE
82	* ''Webcomic/YokokasQuest'': Raya sports these together with [[BlushSticker blush stickers]] to maximize her [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter cuteness]], [[https://yokokasquest.com/comic/chapter-4-page-41/ when convincing Kagi and Yfa to let her go and look for a mushroom with Yfa]]. Grace also develops these in reaction to [[https://yokokasquest.com/comic/chapter-11-page-25/ seeing Raya for the first time]].
