4	''The Princess Planet'' is a hilariously outrageous world where just about every girl is a princess and mix-and-match monsters frolic amongst spaceships and robots.
5
6	This {{webcomic}}, created by Brian [=McLachlan=] is best described as a FracturedFairyTale [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] SpaceOpera [[JustForFun/XMeetsY with a dash of]] ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide''.

8	The heroine, Princess Christi, is bored with life in the royal family, so she abandons her life of comfort for adventures outwitting opponents with WesternAnimation/BugsBunny-like logic.

13	----
14	!!''The Princess Planet'' provides examples of the following tropes:
15
16	%%* ActionGirl
17	%%* BankruptcyBarrel: [[http://www.theprincessplanet.com/2005/02/23/skeletons-and-treeple/ But barrels aren't free!]]
18	* BavarianFireDrill: Christi has gotten treasure more than once by pretending to be a Treasure Inspector and taking it away under the pretense of it being defective.
19	%%* BitchInSheepsClothing
20	%%* BrilliantButLazy: Dreadlock Holmes
21	%%* CaptainColorbeard: Clearbeard the pirate and Aubergine Beard
22	%%* ChestMonster: [[http://www.theprincessplanet.com/2005/05/15/treasure-inspector/ "Treasure Inspector"]]
23	%%-->'''Christi:''' Would you mind if I just nabbed a little gold?\
24	'''Chest Monster:''' Sure. If first I can reach in and take your spleen and trachea.
25	* DemBones: Christi often encounters living skeletons and even lost a game of StripPoker to them.
26	* DisproportionateRetribution: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] A minor character in his first appearance is sent to the dungeon, apparently to die -- being hung next to a skeleton--for telling a bad joke, but the next strip reveals that the skeleton hanging next to him is actually a ''living'' skeleton sent there (briefly) for the same reason.
27	%%* TheDitz: Patricia, definitely. Suffice to say the swag link is an image of her screeching, "Let's go shopping!"
28	%%* FantasyKitchenSink
29	* ForgottenPhlebotinum: [[InvokedTrope invoked]], Christi's magic wand which is implied to be able to do anything is only ever used twice. Christi never uses it specifically because it would spoil the fun.
30	%%* FracturedFairyTale
31	%%* GenreSavvy: Christi, although other characters get moments of it as well.
32	%%* GorgeousGorgon
33	* GratuitousPrincess: The webcomic takes place in a SpaceOpera setting full of robots and MixAndMatchCreatures, but almost every character is a princess.
34	%%* {{Greed}}: Christi has this in abundance.
35	%%* GuileHero: Christi
36	%%* LiteralGenie
37	%%* LoveableRogue: Roger
38	%%* MixAndMatchCritters
39	%%* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Christi is totally nude after [[http://www.theprincessplanet.com/2005/02/22/skeletons-2/ losing everything at poker]].
40	%%* [[PlanetOfHats Planet of Crowns]]
41	%%* {{Portmanteau}}: Loads of them.
42	%%* {{Pun}}: Also loads of them.
43	* RunningGag: Christi often plays "treasure inspector"; the princesses saying "I have a..."; the king routinely finds fault with artists' suggestions for the royal coat of arms.
44	* {{Snowlems}}: Christi's companion is a talking snowman [[FridgeLogic who never seems to melt]].
45	%%* SpaceOpera
46	%%* SuperDrowningSkills: [[http://www.theprincessplanet.com/2010/12/26/arcaned-machine-6/ Parodied.]]
47	* UnexplainedRecovery: Various minor characters, including the Viking turned to stone and then a flaming monkey-helicopter-[[LiteralGenie baby-chicken-magnet]] and the Bad Boyfriend eaten by a monster, but noticeably ''not'' the child-eating witch whom Christi turned into a hat. The witch's every subsequent appearance is as a hat.
48	%%* VisualPun
