As of March 2009, it is [[{{Uncancelled}} back online]] at [[http://www.thecrewdogs.com/ www.thecrewdogs.com]].
2	----
3
4	!!Tropes in this webcomic include:
5
6	* BitingTheHandHumor: Possibly what lead to the comic's hiatus, although the author prefers not to discuss it.
7	* BlatantLies: A bomber is seen coming in for a landing, parts falling off, two engines on fire, plowing into the ground, ripping a wing off and bursting into flames. The crew ([[RuleOfFunny unharmed]]) inform the mechanics that there are no mechanical problems with the plane, and ask if they can go home.
8	* CannonFodder: The bomber commander in the second strip of [[http://www.thecrewdogs.com/Archive1/2011_10_23.html this page]] intends to use his fighter escorts as this.
9	--> '''Bobby''': Escort does not mean SAM-bait d***-it! GET BACK HERE!
10	* CrossOver: With ''Webcomic/AirForceBlues'', several times.
11	* DueToTheDead: [[http://www.thecrewdogs.com/Archive/2011_07_21.html The author pays tribute to some friends who never made it back]].
12	* {{Expy}}: Barkatraz AFB is an Expy for Barksdale AFB
13	* TheInquisitorGeneral: A RunningGag in the comic was the Inspector General being a LawfulEvil sort of guy who would schedule his inspections to interfere with holiday leave, and who was evidently capable of OffscreenTeleportation.
14	* MildlyMilitary
15	* MustHaveCaffeine: The main character had such an addiction to Red Bull, it almost gave him a heart attack. ''In his early 20's.''
16	* ShoutOut: The squadron's building is infested with [[Film/ThePrincessBride Rodents Of Unusual Size]]. They have been known to reach down from the ceiling tiles to [[VerticalKidnapping grab unsuspecting airmen and officers]].
17	* SpitTake: Calvin does this into his girlfriend's face [[http://www.thecrewdogs.com/Archive1/2011_12_18.html when she tells him that she wants to marry]].
18	* {{Uncancelled}}: Back online as of March 2011.
