His only true friend is his dog, Lance. |
5 | ----- |
6 | !!This comic provides examples of: |
7 | * BackAlleyDoctor - Well, he doesn't seem to be running an overtly shady business, but Johnny's doctor certainly nails the "incompetent" part of this. |
8 | * BeatPanel - Used frequently. |
9 | * BodyHorror - Some of the doctors more...''creative'' diagnosis fall into this category. |
10 | * CanineCompanion - Johny's dog Lance is with him ''all the time'', as a side-effect of the strip's [[CutAndPasteComic Cut-and-Paste nature]]. |
11 | * CuteAndPsycho - Hinted at with the little girl with the [[CompanionCube toy duck]]. |
12 | -->'''Girl''': I don't have any parents. I'm an orphan. |
13 | -->'''Johnny''': I'm sorry. What happened to them? |
14 | -->'''Girl''': [[SelfMadeOrphan They asked too many questions.]]. |
15 | * TheDiseaseThatShallNotBeNamed - We never learn what exactly Johnny's ''got''. We just know that it's terrible. |
16 | * {{Jerkass}} - The girl with the leg braces. |
17 | * KickTheDog - Most of the girl with leg braces dialogue. |
18 | ** TheDogBitesBack - occasionaly |
19 | -->'''Girl''': Hey Johnny, the doctor said you have ''athletes foot''. Do you know what "irony" is? |
20 | --->'''Johnny''': Yeah...[[StealthPun your legs]]. |
21 | * LittlestCancerPatient - PlayedForLaughs |
22 | * ManiacMonkeys - Johnny receives a "helper monkey" in an early strip that looks and acts more like some kind of goblin]. |
23 | * ThePollyanna - Johnny never loses hope, although unlike most examples of this trope he is keenly aware of the horribleness of his situation. |
24 | * WorldOfPun - A good chunk of the strips are pun-heavy. |
