8	----
9	!!Woods for the Tropes:
10	* AmbiguouslyBi: [[spoiler: Reuben. Judging from his post-coitus conversation with Brian he could be demisexual.]]
11	* AnimalJingoism: Averted with most characters. It's even hinted at that Seamus (a dog) and Pippin (a cat) were once a thing.
12	* BigFun: Jess in the more recent strips; he has clearly gained weight but has not lost his chipper demeanour.
13	* BrilliantButLazy: Reuben is one of the most intelligent characters in the comic but his favorite thing to do is sleep all day.
14	* ButtMonkey: Everybody has these moments, though Jess and Bosco are probably the most prone. Reuben has fallen into this role a bit more recently [[spoiler: since Isabel blew up his house]].
15	* TheCameo: Webcomic/{{Jack\|DavidHopkins}} makes an appearance [[http://woodsforthetrees.thecomicseries.com/comics/143 here]].
16	%%* CatsAreMean: Pippin.
17	* ChivalrousPervert: Bosco. Even though he's kind of sleazy, he shows signs of actually caring for most of the cast. -including Isabel, who is usually the unfortunate target of his advances (Most notably when he punches Selby for letting slip that [[spoiler: Isabel accidentally shot herself in the arse with a rifle]].).
18	%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Jess.
19	%%* ConMan: Brian can sometimes be this.
20	%%* DeadpanSnarker: Reuben.
21	* DistractedByTheSexy: Brian in [[http://woodsforthetrees.thecomicseries.com/comics/525 this]] strip, [[spoiler: where Isabel uses Reuben to get a discount on Cactus Food]].
22	* TheDitz: For a border collie Jess isn't the brightest bulb in the box. Bosco is even worse but he has drug abuse as an excuse.
23	%%* EatingTheEyeCandy: See DistractedByTheSexy above.
24	%%* FatComicRelief: Jess, to an extent.
25	* GargleBlaster: Jess once made a "drink" he called the [[http://woodsforthetrees.thecomicseries.com/comics/76 "Jessenatoriser"]], it made him hallucinate, then it turned him into a werewolf.
26	* GroupHug: [[http://woodsforthetrees.thecomicseries.com/comics/18/ This]] strip. Though Isabel and Reuben don't seem to like it much.
27	%%* InterspeciesFriendship: The comic is ''full'' of this.
28	%%* InterspeciesRomance: Alluded to, but definately not unheard of.
29	%%* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Reuben.
30	%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Isabel at times. For example, [[http://woodsforthetrees.thecomicseries.com/comics/325/ here]].
31	%%* {{Keet}}: Selby.
32	* LovingBully: WordOfGod has said this was [[spoiler: Isabel]] towards [[spoiler: Brian]] when they were younger.
33	* MustHaveCaffeine: Selby [[http://woodsforthetrees.thecomicseries.com/comics/145/ here]], [[http://woodsforthetrees.thecomicseries.com/comics/296/ here]] and alluded to [[http://woodsforthetrees.thecomicseries.com/comics/127/ here]].
34	* NeverLearnedToRead: Jess, which is why he started going to school with a bunch of pups less than half his age (granted he's only two).
35	* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: When Jess drinks the "Jessenatoriser" he becomes a werewolf of sorts. Needless to say, it's not a completely regular take on the werewolf scenario.
36	* PyroManiac: Leaving something flammable near Isabel is a recipe for disaster.
37	* ShoutOut: There are quite a few here and there, but the most notable example is Jess' toy penguin, Mr.Flibble (A shout out to Series/{{Red Dwarf}}.), who had a whole story arc about it going "missing". [[spoiler: In reality, Isabel had set fire to it]]. [[spoiler: Or that's atleast what you think at first. Reuben cunningly made a switch, and therefore Isabel never burned the toy in the first place]].
38	%%* TheStoner: Jess' brother Bosco, who picked it up from his former owner.
39	%%* StraightGay: Brian.
40	%%* TricksterTwins: Riff and Suz
41	* TheUnfavorite: Jess seemed to have the impression that he was Seamus's least favorite son seeing how one of his brothers is a champion sheepdog and another is a bomb-sniffer while he is just a geeky pet. Then [[TheStoner Bosco]] moved back in.
42	%%* WebcomicTime: [[http://woodsforthetrees.thecomicseries.com/comics/402 Lampshaded]]
43	* YouDirtyRat: The cult leader from the "Anything for a female" story arc. [[spoiler: Who is actually a criminal using the cult as a ploy to kill and rob the members by making them drink poisoned Ribena.]]
