4 | [[http://icannotdraw.thecomicseries.com/ Good Sir, I Cannot Draw]] is a StickFigureComic hosted on Platform/ComicFury, run by [=MatthewJA=]. It is a gag-a-day, and is currently one of [=ComicFury's=] all-time popular webcomics, to the surprise of pretty much everyone. It is quite self-explanatory; [=MatthewJA=] cannot draw very well, but manages to still entertain his audiences with his jokes. |

7 | * AbandonedInfoPage: The old 'about' page specifically said that it would never be updated, before ironically being updated and this line being removed. |
8 | * AltText: Every comic makes use of alt text to convey additional jokes or to supplement the comic. |
9 | ** If you don't think a comic is funny, look at the author comments to explain things. If it's still not funny, look at the alt-text. You'll have a 90% chance of laughing due to at least one of them. |

11 | * AuthorGuestSpot: On occasion, the author makes comments from within the comic which break the fourth wall. |

22 | * {{Homage}}: A number of times, but notably [[http://icannotdraw.thecomicseries.com/comics/14/ here]]. |
23 | * HurricaneOfPuns: Many comics have a large number of puns, and <s>often</s> almost always, a 'pun-hurricane' will break out in the comments. |
