''[[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/AGENCY/ AGENCY]]'' is a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover MysteryFiction {{Fan Webcomic|s}} created by Website/DeviantArt artist [=JediAnnSolo=] and hosted on Website/TheDuck and [=deviantART=]. The story centers on [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants Sandy Cheeks]] and VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog, who have been hired by Franchise/ThePinkPanther and [[VideoGame/StarFox Krystal McCloud]]. Sandy and Shadow have been given the task of finding out who kidnapped Fox and Marcus [=McCloud=] and hijacked the Star Fox team's submarine, the Blue Marine. Much of the humor comes from the conflicting aspects of Shadow's stoicism and Sandy's [[GenkiGirl enthusiasm]].

!!''AGENCY'' provides examples of:

* ArtEvolution: The later pages have more detailed linework and coloring than the earlier ones.
* TheCameo:
** Given the nature of the comic, there have been a few, including the Drunk Duck mascot.
** [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/AGENCY/index.php?p=490734 This page]] has [[WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers Chip and Dale]] and VideoGame/CrashBandicoot.
** Sandy is woken by [[WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie Bobby]] and [[VideoGame/UmjammerLammy Lammy]].
** [[WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}} Panini]] offers Krystal some cookies.
* DarkerAndEdgier: This comic takes your cute and happy-go-lucky childhood friends and puts them in a serious mystery thriller.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud?: {{Inverted|Trope}}. When Parappa is recalling what happened to him, it's all in his head, though he seemed to think he said it out loud.
* FunetikAksent: Sandy's dialogue has shades of this, though it's not always consistent.
* FunWithAcronyms: {{Averted|Trope}}; "AGENCY" doesn't stand for anything.
* FurryConfusion: Pikachu acts like and is treated as a "normal" rodent by the {{Funny Animal}}s, with D.W. [[EekAMouse being freaked out by him upon first seeing him]].
* HappilyMarried: It's implied that [[spoiler:this is ''[[SubvertedTrope not]]'' [[HappyMarriageCharade the case]] in the [=McCloud=] household.]] Sandy is smart enough to figure it out.
* InnerMonologue: The comic prologue begins with the Panther's thoughts leading up to start of the comic's events.
* IWasNeverHere: Uttered by Krystal at one point.
* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: All the characters [[note]]Save for Pikachu, who is [[FurryConfusion acts like and is treated as a "normal" rodent]][[/note]] in the comic are FunnyAnimal characters from various different pre-existing works.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: "Shadow/Sandy is ''[[PlatonicLifePartners not]]'' ''[[BerserkButton AGENCY canon]]!''" (This is more of an old AuthorCatchphrase that the author has thrown into some her drawings' footnotes. It's usually been to remind people to not expect every made-up scenario she illustrates for fun to show up on the comic.)
* ThereIsOnlyOneBed: Done for laughs in Day 2: "We can share the bed--[[SubvertedTrope I'll take the couch tonight, and tomorrow, we can switch!]]"
* {{Telepathy}}: Krystal's telepathy plays a big part, though she appears to be out of practice using it.
* ThrowTheBookAtThem: D.W. does this to Marcus on [[https://www.deviantart.com/jediannsolo/art/AGENCY-DAY-2-pg27-158063500 this]] page.
* UnusualEuphemism: "Buttercups..."
* WorldOfMammals: All the characters in the comic are FunnyAnimal mammals from pre-existing works, with the exception of Pikachu, who is [[FurryConfusion acts and is treated like a "normal" animal by the anthropomorphic characters]].
