11
12	Good luck with that! Explaining the plot is like explaining a train wreck. Not a bad kind of train wreck. Y'know, the kind of train that has lots of elephants, and [[CuteKitten puffy kitties]], [[DisSimile and weird superheroes...]]
13
14	A half-[[DadaComics Dada]], half-{{Adventure}}, entirely comical webcomic about Otra and Winter, two girls with more than their share of quirks who live together in the city of [=CuteTown.=] They go on adventures (for the sake of adventuring). There is a very eclectic supporting/main cast, including, but not in any way limited to: El Chubacabre (or Chuy)- a carefree, then troubled (oh handy Main/CharacterDevelopment) young man with unique [[KavorkaMan women issues]], Collette- a half-cutpaste videogame nerd, Policeguy- a responsible, pragmatic officer of the law and occasional Main/ButtMonkey, Lucy- a self-declared genius veterinarian/animal fitness trainer, Chuy's two brothers- who are attempting to get revenge for their brother (despite the fact Chuy is fine), Captain Fist - [[OddOrganUpTop whose head is a fist]] - and the rest of the [=CuteTown=] PD.
15
16	An overall lighthearted comedy, it revels in its own quirky humor. There's more to it than one might expect.
17
18	The series also [[PlayingWithATrope plays with tropes]] left and right, and in some very interesting ways that must be seen to be believed. It is definitely worthy of your time, and is recommended reading for tropers.
19
20	Lesnick has expunged the original version of the comic from the live internet, and now offers an edited version in two digital collections, [[https://activisionblizzard.itch.io/girly found here.]]
21
22	What many people probably don't know is that ''Girly'' is actually a sequel to their previous comic ''Cute-Wendy'' which in turn was an alternate take on Lesnick's original webcomic and personal OldShame, ''Webcomic/{{Wendy}}''.
23
24	After 764 strips, the comic reached its GrandFinale, but Jackie eventually made a spinoff (set inbetween various {{Time Skip}}s within the comic) called ''Down Together'' (posted sporadically in their [[http://superhappyjackie.com/jlhp "Extra Comics" section]]). Their main project for a little while was ''Doctor Voluptua'' (too NSFW to link), and they're also a contributing artist and founder of ''Slipshine'', a erotic comic paysite, and later poured a lot of work into ''[[http://prinpan.tumblr.com/ Princess Panic]]'', a 2-D video game project with ''VideoGame/PaperMario''-styled gameplay in the (very) early planning stages, with some parts of the story uploaded as a comic on Platform/{{Webtoon}}. Lesnick also created another webcomic called ''Webcomic/YouSuck'', which can be found [[https://activisionblizzard.itch.io/you-suck here]].
25
26	Now has a character sheet.
27
28	----
29	!!This series contains examples of:
30
31	%%* AWinnerIsYou: Referenced in ''Cute-Wendy''.
32	* ActionGirl: Given how shonen-{{Animesque}} the comic is, it's inevitable. Winter and Otra both qualify, Officer Hipbone is a down-and-dirty bruiser, and even Collete has had a few moments, though mostly video game related.
33	%%* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: Business Sidekick]]
34	* AltText: This was added to comics from #151 onwards; however, as time has passed and the comic's website has changed, the alt text is no longer accessible.
35	* {{Animesque}}: The first hundred strips are done in this style, before undergoing Art Evolution (see below). Despite this, the plot still uses various tropes from animé at various points.
36	* ArtEvolution: And how. The most recent strips are the most glaringly evolved.
37	** Jackie Lesnick made a conscious decision at one point to stop imitating manga artists and remove many of the Japanese elements in their art. Their later style is much more influenced by western-cartoons now, with the comic itself going from resembling a manga, to looking a little bit like [[Creator/JhonenVasquez Jhonen Vasquez's]] work, before finally ending up like a webcomic drawn by Creator/JohnKricfalusi.
38	*** As recent as comic #754, Lesnick has acknowledged that their art had slowly become anime influenced again over time.
39	---->"My art became so anime again, I don't even know how it happened this time."\
40	"You can never escape anime."
41	* ArtifactTitle: For the first 80 strips, Otra was only known as "Girly". After the reveal of her name, she's rarely (if ever) called "Girly".
42	* AndTheAdventureContinues: The comic ends with [[spoiler:Otra and Winter's daughter and ''her'' sidekick]] going off on their own adventure, complete with the words "Never the end".
43	* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: El Chupacabre's name is not meant to evoke the chupacabra at all; the name was chosen just because it sounds funny when said in an outrageous accent. His brothers follow the same pattern, naming themselves with a [[WordSaladTitle semi-comprehensible string of Spanish words]] that changes every time it's mentioned. WordOfGod also says that they are not Hispanic.
44	* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: In [[http://jackie.horse/girly/679 #679]], [[spoiler:Officer Getskilled]] is invited by Immortal Guy to join him in the Ancient Land of the Immortals, which he accepts.
45	* AuthorAppeal: References to 1940's cartoon history, a strip referencing one of the author's favorite bands (which doubles as a TitleDrop and ShoutOut to the song that she named the strip after).
46	* BackForTheFinale: Everyone who had a name or a unique character design throughout the series returns in the final chapter to help fight off the final enemies.
47	* BadassNormal: Most of the cast have no special powers. The [=CuteTown=] PD don't even have ''guns''. But they still get into the thick of the fight and try to save the day.
48	* BattleCouple: Once they hook up, Otra and Winter are more dangerous as a team. The same is true for Policeguy and Hipbone.
49	%%* BeardOfEvil: The upgraded [[spoiler:Captain Fist Robot]].
50	* BetaCouple: Chuy and Autumn, and Policeguy and Hipbone, also pursue romance arcs while Winter and Otra are working out their differences. Both make solid and happy couples.
51	* {{BFS}}: Otra's weapon of choice from Chapter IX onwards is a large spiked sword named the [[AdvancedTech2000 Ass-Slicer 3000]].
52	* BilingualBonus: The nurse's assistant is speaking perfectly good French... [[UsefulNotes/CanadianAccents Quebec French, that is]].
53	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Toward the end, [[spoiler: Otra]] turns on her lover and has to be redeemed by the PowerOfLove.
54	* BrickJoke:
55	** [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/411 The ninjas]] Policeguy mentions [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/413 appear in the flesh]] a few strips later.
56	** Detective Clampjaw left without ever finding Chupacabre. When they both [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/703 returned to the comic]] [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/704 at the same time...]]
57	%%* BoundAndGagged: [[spoiler:Captain Fist after being kidnapped.]]
58	%%** [[spoiler:Winter's parents when they were kidnapped.]]
59	%%*** [[spoiler:{{Tethercat principle}}: their fate is never really addressed]]
60	%%*** [[spoiler:But seeing as [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/743 they escaped]], appear in [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/742 #742]] [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/759 strip #759]] and [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/764 strip #764]] and Winter directly speaks to them in [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/746 strip #746]], they're both alive and well]]
61	* BunnyEarsLawyer: Winter, a capable adventurer with many eccentricities (the largest one being her fondness for adventures)
62	%%* CallingYourAttacks: Including a ShoutOut to the [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam king of the trope]]. And with...
63	%%** CombinationAttack
64	%%** Also: ([[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/751 Super]]) [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/110 Kitten Bomber]].
65	* CaptainErsatz: Detective Clampjaw and [[PunnyName Nickel]], of WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget and Penny. Policeguy provides the mandatory LampshadeHanging.
66	* CatsAreMean: Subverted. Marshmallow Kitty is marshmallow-harmless, but she and her family still enter the battle when needed.
67	* TheCavalry: Happen a few times during the story:
68	** Black cat dad and his son come to the rescue of the rest of the family, after they got beat down by the (real) boss.
69	** Hipbone and Getskilled later save both Otra and Winter [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/672 here]].
70	* ChekhovsGunman: After being used as mere SceneryCensor for sex scenes, the cute critters get invoked and ''weaponized'' in the final battle.
71	* ChestInsignia: Otra begins to contemplate the zero on her shirt as an O after Winter points it out.
72	* ClothingDamage: When the police sidekicks turn their guns on Policeguy and Hipbone. It backfires. ([[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/681 "Stop! Our attacks are only making them sexier!"]])
73	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Before she shows a deeper side, it appears that Winter ''[[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/16 invented]]'' this trope.
74	* CombinedEnergyAttack: Toward the end, the Cutetown PD channel the energy of all their batons to create one massive cudgel. This is treated with the same silliness as everything else.
75	%%* CovertPervert: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/475 Winter]], surprisingly.
76	%%** Marshmallow Kitty is somewhere between this and downright [[LovableSexManiac sex fiend.]]
77	%%** All things considered, you'd probably think Vet Lucy was pretty normal, too. Turns out, you'd be [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/649 wrong.]]
78	* CursedWithAwesome: Chupacabre is irresistible to women, the greatest lover alive, and apparently has unlimited sexual stamina. It makes having a meaningful relationship kinda hard. Eventually both he and his [[spoiler:ex-wife]] learn to embrace their power as nigh-insatiable, irresistible love-gods.
79	%%* CutenessOverload: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/329 KBOOM]]
80	%%** YourHeadAsplode
81	* DenserAndWackier:
82	** Inverted -- ''Girly'' is less dense than ''Cute-Wendy'' was, and while it is still wacky, it's more coherently so. Also, CerebusSyndrome eventually sets in.
83	** The artwork becomes more and more insane and cartoony as the comic undergoes ArtEvolution, due to Jackie choosing to reject anime and follow "the great prophet [[Creator/JohnKricfalusi Kricfalusi]]".
84	* DestructoNookie: Subverted. Sex is quite literally a weapon in the ''Girly'' world.
85	* DeusSexMachina: How is the FinalBoss ultimately defeated? By the two leads using a ''very'' intimate means of invoking ThePowerOfLove.
86	* DistantFinale: The last few panels of the final strip focus on [[spoiler:Otra and Winter's teenage daughter, with her own sidekick]].
87	%%* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: There's no way [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/499 the last panel here]] was an accident.
88	%%* DuckSeasonRabbitSeason: Played straight [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/624 here]].
89	* DudeLooksLikeALady: Officer Policeguy, though he got a haircut after [[UnsettlingGenderReveal his first encounter with Chuy]].
90	%%* EatsBabies: As of 761, Winter, of all people.
91	%%** What? She's always done that, she tried to eat the giant baby in [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/4 page four!]]
92	%%*** She doesn't really eat them, she just [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/507 nibbles and drools on them a bit...]]
93	* {{Expy}}: A cavalcade of Jackie's obscure and semi-obscure creations have appeared in the comic over the years.
94	** Doctor Lucy and Nurse Yumi would be the most recognizable ones. They both come from her previous webcomic ''Wendy''. Miki and her sister Yuki (who appeared in many old comics of hers, but ''Wendy'' is the best known) also appear briefly as [[spoiler:Evil Sidekicks]] toward the end of the comic.
95	** The [=HappyCo=] staff -- consisting of Tina the chairman, Cheyenne the secretary, the bodyguards Miles and Headlock, and the scientist Broadway -- are all taken from her unfinished fantasy adult comic ''The Pet Elf''. All the characters are drawn with hairstyles and headgear to hide the elf ears and ogre horns they originally had.
96	** Josh Means and Lemon are childhood creations of hers. Some of their comics are archived on her [[http://jackie.horse/ main site.]]
97	** Captain Fist starred in a couple one-off comics during the ''Cute-Wendy'' days, before finally getting a starring role in ''Girly''.
98	** The Knight originated from a comic Jackie did for a high school assignment.
99	** Finally, Cutewendy herself was a character exported from ''Wendy''... this character creation got the whole snowball rolling that led to ''Girly'''s creation. Essentially, the comic's entire existence stemmed from an Expy.
100	%%* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Otra]] seems to have pulled this [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/698 here]].
101	%%** Thankfully, it [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/754 didn't last long]].
102	%%* FakeUltimateHero: Captain Fist.
103	%%* FanService: Where do we begin?
104	%%--> Now tear her dress a bit!
105	* {{Fetish}}: A gang of vore fetishists makes an [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/510 appearance]].
106	--> '''Alt Text:''' I apologize to those who had to go look this up and learn something they could have spent their whole lives without knowing.
107	* FlashBack: Chapter XIII is an arc about Winter avoiding having flashbacks after an arc that was loaded with them. A TakeThat [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/521 toward Family Guy]] indicates that Lesnick may have wanted to stop her comic from becoming similarly overloaded by flashbacks.
108	* {{Foreshadowing}}: That hackneyed romantic comedy plot Pop-Culture Girl outlines in the [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/1 first two panels]] of the comic ever? [[spoiler:That's a pretty handy summary of the first four chapters.]]
109	* FourFingeredHands: {{Averted\|Trope}} at first, but from [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/336 strip #336]] onwards, it is ([[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/340 mostly]]) played straight.
110	* FreakyFridayFlip: Chapter XI of the comic's story (appropriately named "The Great Mix-Up") has most of the main cast swapping bodies with each other thanks to the NebulousEvilOrganisation they keep getting involved with.
111	* TheFundamentalist: A recurring side character is a street pastor who constantly yells at passers-by about how they'll all be burning in Hell. Towards the end, he receives a like-minded sidekick who [[SinisterMinister is much worse]].
112	%%* GambitPileup: Parodied [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/490 here]].
113	%%* GenreSavvy: Collette.
114	* GeorgeLucasAlteredVersion:
115	** In 2021, a few pages were redrawn by Jackie to remove insensitive material that didn't age well:
116	** [[http://jackie.horse/girly/314 #314]] removed a joke which implied a depressed Chuy was thinking of cutting himself (before revealing he merely intended to shave).
117	** [[http://jackie.horse/girly/529 #529]] had two men being covered in tossed paint, with a white guy being covered in black paint and becoming a {{blackface}} stereotype. The redrawn version excises this in favor of the paint bucket narrowly missing several targets, including the two men.
118	%%* GodivaHair: [[spoiler:Otra]].
119	* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Not particularly used for [[ComedicUnderwearExposure comic effect]] -- Chuy just seems to like wearing these.
120	%%* GrandFinale
121	%%* GrievousHarmWithABody: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/510 Here]].
122	%%* GroinAttack: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/383 Here.]]
123	* HappilyMarried: Chuy and Autumn ''were'' this, until it was discovered that monogamy was literally killing Chuy. They divorced, allowing Chuy (and Autumn) to casually screw other people as well. They're still an OfficialCouple, they just have lots of sex with other people in addition to each other.
124	* HartmanHips: Most of the girls in the comic are guilty of this. Winter and Hipbone are two glaring examples.
125	* {{Hammerspace}}: Where Otra's sword and Winter's giant dildo reside when not in use.
126	* {{Henshin}}: Orta [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/757 here]]. From nude to dressed to the nines simply by drawing her trademark O/Zero. Of course, she is a fashion designer. In this comic, that makes sense.
127	%%* HideYourLesbians: Subverted and Lampshaded with [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/540 Getskilled]].
128	* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: ''Action Up The Butt'' (the ShowWithinAShow) does this with Sir Walter Scott.
129	* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: Many of the characters watch an action-drama show called ''Action Up the Butt'', featuring Victorian authors shooting each other with semi-automatics to gain each other's literary powers. Creator/MarkTwain and Creator/OscarWilde are treated as villains, while Sir Creator/WalterScott gets a HistoricalHeroUpgrade. However, it [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/631 did not last]].
130	%%* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/639 The Pop-culture sidekick.]]
131	* HotterAndSexier: The love scenes are usually censored with animals but [[spoiler: after years of censor panels, the "climatic" "battle" is fully explicit.]]
132	* HypercompetentSidekick:
133	** Slightly subverted. Winter and Otra work quite well as a team; however, Winter is useless without a sidekick to protect, while Otra, though perfectly capable of solo adventures, hates doing them.
134	** Later played straight in the last storyline with multiple new sidekicks popping up. It was eventually justified [[spoiler:as they were specifically created to be perfect sidekicks]] and then deconstructed when the sidekicks decide to take the lead due to being so much better than the people they followed.
135	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Winter's giant talking dildo and [[spoiler:the epic dildo sword she made by combining it with Otra's sword]].
136	* InformedAbility: One of Chuy's brothers has a [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/420 culinary degree from the Academy of Vancouver]]. Apparently this trope applies even more than usual, as even he forgot about it.
137	* InformedAttribute: Collete is half-cutpaste. This one was actually demonstrated thoroughly and consistently up until the final arcs of the comic; the problem was that ''nobody got the joke'' until it was spelled out.
138	%%* InHarmsWay: As one chapter title puts it, "The Adventure Never Ends".
139	%%* InMediasRes: Chapters I and XII, among other things.
140	* InnerMonologue:
141	** Makes up a good deal of the script, at least at first. This gets lampshaded, and perhaps justified, later.
142	** Becomes entirely necessary when one of the main characters is [[FreakyFridayFlip transferred into the body of a cat.]]
143	* InterfaceSpoiler: "Girly"'s name is unknown for the first eighty strips... except for [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/16 #16 - Otra Needs a Break]] and [[http://jackie.horse/girly/40 #40 - Sleepy Otra]]. Whoops.
144	%%* InTheNameOfTheMoon: Parodied with a massive ShoutOut to ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/494 here]].
145	%%* JugglingLoadedGuns: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/483 Lampshaded]], as well as justified.
146	* JumpingOnPoint: Chapter XII, over halfway through the comic's total length, is mostly dedicated to providing short recaps of the preceeding 11 chapters to get new readers up to speed. Notably, it's the only chapter to be rendered in full color.
147	%%* KavorkaMan: Chuy, even when he's at his most depressed, has to beat off women with a stick.
148	%%* KnightsAndKnaves: Parodied.
149	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: After a hard blow on the head, Yumi forgets ''how to speak English!''
150	%%* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: "All this swirly pitch blackness", "It's probably because it's so easy to draw...[[spoiler:[[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/760 our attention with it]].]]"
151	%%* LimitBreak: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/494 Of all shapes and sizes]] ([[spoiler:Chuy's is a pelvic-thrust energy strike]]).
152	%%* LetsGetDangerous: Just about any fight scene uses this.
153	%%* LookBehindYou: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/196 Subverted]].
154	* LoveEpiphany: It takes Otra until the very end of Chapter III to realize that she loves Winter.
155	* MamaBear: Even Marshmallow Kitty goes [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/657 Mama Cat]] to protect her family from the sidekicks.
156	%%* TheManBehindTheMan (or rather, the Elephant behind the [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/661 Lion]] behind the [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/660 Walrus.]])
157	* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Winter. Interestingly, this seems to be a personality she developed purely to get Otra. Before her, she was a very cultured, dull and incredibly selfish girl. So while having none of the personality of the ManicPixieDreamGirl, Otra still plays the role for Winter.
158	* MeaningfulName:
159	** The police guy who keeps running into Otra and Winter at the beginning of the strip is actually named Danforth Policeguy. Seriously.
160	** Officer Getskilled in his very first appearance is the reddest of {{Red Shirt}}s. [[spoiler:He not only survives to the end of the strip, he becomes immortal.]]
161	** There's also Officer Oneshot, who appears for a single story arc, then vanishes entirely.
162	** And, of course, our protagonist, Otra. [[BilingualBonus "Otra" means "other" in Spanish]]. In addition to reflecting her initial feelings of isolation and loneliness, Otra's name is a callback to ''Girly'''s parent strip ''Cute-Wendy'', wherein Cute-Wendy's sidekick was known as "the other girl".
163	* MistakenFromBehind: When Winter finds a faerie that is identical to Otra by behind.
164	%%* MomentKiller: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/755 Here.]] Yes, an unspeakable monstrosity of pure evil is just a moment killer. It's that kind of comic.
165	* ModernMinstrelsy: The original version of #529 had a white guy getting accidentally covered in black paint and exclaiming, "Oh, Lawdy!" as one of many [[MediaNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation Golden Age animation]] homages. In 2021, Jackie redrew the comic to remove this gag.
166	* MundaneMadeAwesome: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/128 The omelet's so good it speaks]] [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign German!]]
167	%%* MyFavoriteShirt: Subverted [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/423 here.]]
168	%%* NeverBringAKnifeToAFistfight: Parodied (among others) [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/483 here.]]
169	%%* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: New Powers As The Silliness Demands
170	* NoManOfWomanBorn: Not actually a prophecy, just a phrase: [[spoiler:during Otra's FaceHeelTurn, she says to Winter, "I don't want to be your sidekick anymore". How did Winter get her back? Saying she'll be Otra's sidekick from now on if that's what it takes.]]
171	%%* NominalImportance: Subverted, Inverted, Played with, Lampshaded...just about anything ''except'' played straight. What else can you say when one of the protagonists is named "Officer Policeguy"?
172	%%** Though Officer Getskilled is for sure the major offender...[[spoiler: of subversion]].
173	%%*** [[spoiler: Played straight, apparently, [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/678 here]] and then subverted, with prejudice, [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/679 here]].]] Ladies and gentlemen, this is how you play with a trope.
174	%%* NoNameGiven: Otra at first; Winter's mother.
175	* NoodleIncident: Many. Otra refers to a previous instance in which Winter instigated "interspecies animal bootknocking", and a lot of the plot of chapter VIII is driven by a particularly crazy adventure that is never explained.
176	* OmnidisciplinaryScientist:
177	** Not only is Doctor Lucy an omnidisciplinary veterinarian (shown at various times performing optometry, chiropractics, dentistry, psychiatry and aerobic instruction on various animals), she is also a GadgeteerGenius and an [[FriendToAllLivingThings elephant-whisperer]].
178	** Also a debatable aversion of MadScientist: Doctor Lucy is sometimes arrogant (quick to remind people of her genius), but her abilities are always used for the good of the community.
179	%%* OnlySaneMan:
180	%%** Otra (at least most of the time)
181	%%** Policeguy tends toward this as well.
182	%%* OutOfClothesExperience: Lampshaded.
183	%%* PairTheSpares: Immortal Guy and [[spoiler:Officer Getskilled]], as more-or-less confirmed by the GrandFinale.
184	* PhallicWeapon: Winter wields a giant dildo.
185	* PieEyed: A few characters become this through ArtEvolution, most notably Captain Fist.
186	%%* PlayingWithFire: Fred Burrows, who is also [[PersonalityPowers an arsonist]]. Go figure.
187	* PoliceAreUseless: Subverted. Girly's police regularly show up the resident superhero and occasionally even the protagonists. Just two of [=CuteTown's=] police are able to best an entire squad of [[SuperSoldier genetically modified super police]] without taking any [[ClothingDamage real damage]].
188	%%* PowerOfLove: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/720 And how!]] And a later strip has given us an example on par with the [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Sekiha Love Love Tenkyouken]].
189	* PrehensileHair: Huh. Didn't know ''[[spoiler: OTRA?!]]'' could do that.
190	* PreserveYourGays: There's a gay policeman called [[MeaningfulName Officer Getskilled]], who deliberately survives everything.
191	* PropheticName: Pretty much all the [=CuteTown=] P.D. Poor, poor Officer Getskilled.
192	* PunnyName: Collette is a pun on "collate", since she is half-cutpaste.
193	* PutOnABus:
194	** [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/83 Literally]] with Detective Clampjaw (probably intended at the time to be a LongBusTrip. [[spoiler: It took him over 600 pages to return to the story.]]). Played straight with Chuy and Autumn's [[spoiler: summer-long honeymoon]].
195	** Note the AltText for that [[WordOfGod admitted]] [[LampshadeHanging it was a pretty lame way]] to write them out for a while.
196	* RedShirt: Most of the Cute PD besides Policeguy, Hipbone, and the Chief. Officers Getskilled and Oneshot both make the leap to MauveShirt, then Getskilled achieves something close to AscendedExtra status (and finally just [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascends]]).
197	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Marshmallow Kitty and her children, leading to CutenessProximity effects [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/64 on]] [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/62 various]] [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/37 characters]].
198	%%* RunningGag: Elephants.
199	* SexGod: El Chupacabra possesses legendary skills to please any woman (and practically every woman) he ever faces. The action itself is never shown, but the immediate aftermath, quite a lot. Generally the ladies are barely able to walk from all the fun their nerves had.
200	* SexyDiscretionShot: Whenever two characters have sex, they are drawn [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/121 frolicking through a meadow with adorable forest creatures]], in {{UsefulNotes/Kawaisa}} form.
201	%%* SheCleansUpNicely: Actually, [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/407 they]] [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/408 both]] do.
202	* ShoutOut: A ''lot'':
203	** WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget and Penny (Detective Clampjaw and Nickel).
204	** That college girl who looks like Gadget from ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers''.
205	** ShoutOut to many video games, in this [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/658 comic]] (including ''VideoGame/BalloonFight'', ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' and even the NintendoHard genre).
206	** Strip 663: the way the kitties unite and attack the enemy is an obvious shout out of ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}''.
207	%%* ShowWithinAShow: ''Action Up the Butt''.
208	%%* ShutUpHannibal: "Nice try".
209	* SickAndWrong: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/512 A giant chicken lays a giant egg]]. Winter cooks the giant egg into a giant omelet and shares it with the chicken.
210	-->'''Otra:''' This is like eight million degrees of wrong.
211	* {{Sidekick}}: Just about every character either has one or is one. This becomes a major plot point later.
212	%%* SingleStrokeBattle: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/744 Oh]] [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/745 yes]].
213	%%* SlapSlapKiss: Or Insult Insult Sex...
214	%%** [[spoiler:Also {{Subverted}} in the mallard/chicken fight]].
215	%%* SlowClap: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/517 As done by]] Creator/OscarWilde.
216	%%* SmokingIsCool: Sandra says it herself [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/723 here]].
217	* SomethingElseAlsoRises: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/180 A water hose.]]
218	* SpinoffBabies: As revealed on the last page, [[spoiler:Otra and Winter's]] daughter and [[spoiler:Chuy and Autumn's]] daughter grow up, pair off, and go have adventures of their own.
219	* SpriteMirroring: In a rare non-video game example, one of visual cues that Collete is half cut-paste (before the artist stopped bothering with it) was that when she turned in one direction her shirt would be mirrored from its design when she's facing the other way. Especially obvious when she's wearing a shirt with writing on it.
220	%%* StandardFemaleGrabArea: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/671 Here]], [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/672 here]], and Lampshaded [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/673 here]].
221	* StylisticSuck: The in-universe print comic Funny Bunnies, among others.

224	%%* SuperSoldier: [[spoiler:Possibly Otra.]]

226	%%* TakeOurWordForIt: {{Subverted}} and {{Lampshaded}} in comic 511.
227	* TakeThat: Collete's father was drawn entirely with cut-paste, both in ''Girly'' and its precursor, ''Cute-Wendy''. Her mother was drawn normally, and so she wound up being ''half'' cut-paste. Having her like video games falls right in line with the many other times Jackie has criticized the [[CutAndPasteComic artwork]] of many GamingWebcomics.
228	%%* TakingTheBullet
229	%%* ThrowTheDogABone: Policeguy generally catches a break these days.
230	* ThunderingHerd: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/598 In Strip 598]]. The natural result of any chase scene involving a pair of gigantic household pets.
231	* TimeSkip: The story sometimes jumps ahead a few months between chapters. ''Down Together'' is about what Otra and Winter get up to within those months.
232	%%* TomatoInTheMirror: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/697 NOOOOOO!]]
233	%%** Actually [[spoiler:AndThenJohnWasAZombie]].

235	%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Our main duo, though the "Girly" moniker was first slapped on Otra, the tomboy.
236	%%* TooKinkyToTorture: Immortal Guy!
237	%%** And [[spoiler: Lucy]].
238	* TookALevelInBadass: Anyone else notice how Policeguy's gone from a somewhat wimpy ButtMonkey to trouncing entire teams of EliteMooks and making [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/674 one of the most badass entrances on record?]]
239	%%* TykeBomb: [[spoiler:Otra]], apparently.
240	* WebcomicTime: Mildly lampshaded in [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/429 strip #429]] with "It feels like it's been two years, six months and seven days when it's actually been two months and five days!"

244	%%* WimpFight: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/514 Otra's fight in the background.]]
245	* WouldntHitAGirl: Parodied/lampshaded during a fight between [[spoiler:a mallard drake and a female chicken]].
246	%%* VillainsNeverLie: See the wham episode. [[spoiler:Subverted.]]
