6	''[[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com Faulty Logic]]'' was a webcomic by Rae Bruner starring [[TheFool Fox]] the anthropomorphic [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Fox]] and [[OnlySaneWoman Jalyss]] from planet Basti. There's very little, if any plot to speak of, being more of a [[GagPerDayWebcomics gag-per-day comic]] which updated ''a lot less'' than once per day.
7
8	!!This webcomic provides examples of:
9	* AccidentalPun: [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20070901.html Jalyss]] saying "do you need a hand" to a one-handed elderly man, which is apparently the dumbest thing she's said.
10	* AmbiguousGender: Rae, the author. From the FAQ on his/her other webcomic, ''Webcomic/{{Dissonance}}'';
11	-->'''Q:''' Are you a boy or a girl?\
12	'''A:''' Maybe.
13	** [[spoiler:Trans female, according to their [=FurAffinity=] page.]]
14	* {{Animorphism}}: Due to Eden's absence, Fox has to find himself a "temporary girlfriend". He doesn't have enough time to find a fox like himself, though, so [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20110415.html he simply changes a random human girl into one.]]
15	* ArtEvolution: 2010 onwards has a cleaner style. The banner on top of the page didn't evolve with the comic, though.
16	* ArtShift:
17	** Imaginary scenarios and thoughts of the characters are hand drawn with coloring pencils.
18	** The [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20070714.html 14/07/2007]] comic is one ImagineSpot for Fox for being a mop-based superhero with a very bad catchphrase.
19	** Every now and again, Jalyss makes a video on a game they didn't like, like [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080621.html Bioshock]]. Fox also makes a video [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080816.html on Gordon Freeman.]]
20	** [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20081206.html Every once]] [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20110122.html in a while]] they do this.
21	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Name mentioned in [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20081129.html Jalyss dislikes television.]]
22	* AuthorAvatar: Fox and Jalyss are ''both'' this for Rae.
23	* BaitAndSwitch: [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20071215.html This comic]] has Fox try and wake Jalyss up, but instead gets mauled in the final panel ''by'' Jalyss.
24	** [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080628.html Seagull Poo is actually a seagull plush with Winnie the Pooh's head.]]
25	** [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080906.html In this strip]] Fox warns Jalyss to not go to the bathroom right after he's done. [[spoiler: A killer clown is in there.]]
26	* BilingualBonus: [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20071117.html 17/11/2007]] has half the comic in French.
27	* BizarreAlienBiology: Jalyss smells through her antennae and can breathe through apertures on her back, except when she wants to speak.
28	* BlackComedy: [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20070408.html "I saw the first robin of spring today..."]]
29	* BlandNameProduct: [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080628.html Toys "R" Fun.]] They do sell ''Franchise/{{Barbie}}'', though.
30	* BreakingTheFourthWall: Actually, ''Faulty Logic'' [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/20090131warp.html goes on the other side of the Fourth Wall.]]
31	* ChainsawGood: [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080405.html For having Jalyss' DSL fixed.]]
32	* DestroyTheProductPlacement: Deconstructed. Fox questions why NASA doesn't use sponsorships to fund space missions, and the reality of it is that it'd be in extremely poor taste if the spaceship crashes.
33	* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Fox in [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080426.html this comic]] after he makes a deer for a car to crash into, but which when deployed, the car crashes into the bridge instead.

35	* DistractedByTheSexy: Fox. [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080510.html While drawing.]] Leads to accidental MaleGaze.
36	* TheDitz: Fox is often treated as one; such as in [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20070616.html 16/06/2007]] when he fills out a health and safety quiz with what appears to be the first things that come into their head.
37	* FillerStrips: Rae does them if they fall ill, or are otherwise away, such as in [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080823.html 23/08/2008]] which is Jalyss winning gold at the 2008 olympics by sitting on their competitor.
38	* ForScience: [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20110122.html Fox strapping a chicken to an RC Car.]]
39	* EnergyWeapon: Of course, Fox has got nothing better to do with them than [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20090103.html pranking cats.]]
40	* FunnyAnimal: It's a furry webcomic, so this feels like it goes without saying, but just in case you're not sure...
41	* GranolaGirl: The customer in the [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20070623.html 26/06/2007]] comic believes that evolution and "Mother Nature" and one in the same, with Jalyss trying to explain how wrong she is.
42	* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Parodied in [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20070804.html this comic.]]

45	** [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20110401.html This one]] even came on AprilFoolsDay.
46	** [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20090425.html This comic]] by Tebryn.
47	** [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20110401.html This comic]] by Genesis Whitmore, the artists of Webcomic/LittleTales.
48	* IHaveToGoIronMyDog: Clark Kent's excuse in the [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20070519.html 19/05/2007]] comic comes off as this:
49	--> "Sorry, I um....have a...sock appointment".
50	* LoonyFan: [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20071027.html In this comic]], Jalyss looks up the "Frankenberry" cereal mascot on Wikipedia, with the last panel implying a LoonyFan wrote the entry mere seconds after broadcast.
51	* MaleGaze: [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080510.html 10/05/2008]] has Fox draw the comic in more suggestive ways than normal to spruce up talking about Tax cuts; much to Jalyss's disapproval.
52	* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: A store is being opened in the background of [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080712.html this comic]] with Fox and Jalyss talking about [=WALLE=]. The end of the strip has Fox play Rock-paper-scissors with the novelty scissors bearer.
53	* ModestyTowel: Jalyss in [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080726.html this strip.]]
54	* MoralGuardians: The theme of [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20070818.html 18/08/2007]] is to paint adults as wanting more safety guidelines, even when the guidelines are pretty clear to begin with.
55	* MundaneMadeAwesome: [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080216.html 16/02/2008]] is about Fox filing a tax form in the style of a Pokemon battle.
56	* MundaneUtility: [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20090103.html LASER was invented in 1969]], but all people use it for is for annoying cats.
57	* NonSequiturThud: [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20071110.html The bar fight guy.]]
58	* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer:
59	** [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080503.html This comic]] features the [[https://try.clearplay.com/blu-ray-player/ Clearplay DVD player]], which apparently filters out parts of films to make them more family friendly, and as the comic points out, very boring. Even the father in the TV Ad the comic uses as a parody realises how stupid this is when applying it to "Satanic Bloodening 7", a horror movie with swears in it.
60	** [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20090516.html 16/05/2009]] makes fun of [[http://contexts.org/socimages/2009/05/14/girls-verions-of-board-games/ "Scrabble for Girls".]]
61	* OrphanedSeries: [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20111210.html The last actual strip]] was posted on December 10, 2011. The author has moved on to ''Webcomic/{{Dissonance}}'', and then onto ''Webcomic/{{Recursion}}''.

63	* PizzaBoySpecialDelivery: [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080315.html In this strip]] Fox and Jalyss discuss Fox's obsession with Krystal, and Fox offers an explanation; Fox runs away from Krystal to be in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'', but distracts her first by asking to get a comms unit, and leaves before she gives it to him. Krystal talks aloud of being "sexually vulnerable" because Fox left her, and a Pizza boy arrives, and cuts to Krystal leaping at the Pizza boy off-screen, and Jalyss suitably squicked out.
64	* RunningGag: [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20070728.html The]] [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080920.html many]] [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20081025.html time machines]] Fox builds in the future and uses to drop into the present time.
65	* ShoutOut: The end of [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20070526.html 26/05/2007]] has Jalyss mention the next Youtube debate be about "piano-playing cat", a reference to the "Keyboard Cat" viral video.
66	* SoulSuckingRetailJob: Happens a lot:
67	** [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20070414.html 14/04/2007]] has an old lady count her pennies to pay for some shopping, which Fox isn't too pleased about. It takes so long that in that time the lady is counting, a drunken idiot gets arrested by security for attempting to buy a whole box of lighters, and she's '''only halfway done.'''
68	** [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20070623.html 26/06/2007]] comic is all about the people Jalyss meets in the store. It's essentially written as an AuthorTract for working in retail.
69	** [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20071110.html This comic]] has Jalyss deal with a beaten up customer that starts to speak in nonsense, as well as a lady who insists on double-bagging her shopping.
70	** [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080607.html 07/06/2008]] has Jalyss be annoyed by a crying toddler, and elderly lady counting change '''painfully slowly'''.
71	* StableTimeLoop: Fox [[GeniusDitz built a time machine]] to go to the future [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20071006.html and steal comic ideas from himself]] so [[FridgeLogic he wouldn't have to think them up]]. Unfortunately, shortly after he gets back, a time-traveling Fox shows up and steals it.
72	-->'''Fox:''' That's like the '''Eighth''' time that's happened!
73	* StrawFeminism: [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20090314.html 14/03/2009]] accuses Taco Bell of this with a then-recent advert, by pointing out that having a complex female character does not mean you can make the male character stupider, as the defeats the point of Feminism, and puts you straight back into Sexism territory.
74	* TakeThat:
75	** [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20070505.html 05/05/2007]] is a thinly-veiled jab at game companies selling games and expansion passes that are filled with bugs, often knowingly shipped by the developers, and can be "patched out", but are not officially recognised until said patch releases.
76	** The [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20070707.html 07/07/2007]] comic is a review of ''Film/Transformers2007'', with complaints of shaky camera, plot holes and poor writing.
77	** [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080105.html This comic]] takes potshots at Windows Vista, from running slowly to being overly-protective as to what gets installed. Apparently it's still better than using a Mac.
78	* TheOperatorsMustBeCrazy: Jalyss calls the helpline for her internet company and gets nowhere fast [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080405.html in this comic.]]
79	* ThePrankster: Fox often comes up with hairbrained schemes in a lot of the comics.
80	* TemporalParadox: [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20070728.html Fox builds a time machine]] to go back in time and prevent himself from building and misusing a time machine. [[GoneHorriblyRight He is stabbed with a screwdriver by his future self]].
81	* ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080712.html In 12/07/2008]], Jalyss is annoyed that she liked ''WesternAnimation/WallE'', while Fox finds the end heartbreaking.
82	* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: Some of the strips are based on the author's own experiences. This ranges from when he/she [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20070901.html nearly]] committed a [[FeeFiFauxPas massive faux pas]], to blatant [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20070929.html revenge fantasy.]]
83	* ViolationOfCommonSense: [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20080808.html This map for the Connecticut convention centre.]]
84	* VomitIndiscretionShot: [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20090228.html For example.]]
