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''. |
7 | |
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. |

10 | ''This'' tall blonde wants to be an adventure heroine. |

12 | [[http://www.theprincessplanet.com/ You can read it here.]] The comic concluded in July 2013 after eight and half years. |

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. |
