->''"I'm scared, confused, and think I need to use the bathroom."''
-->-- '''Zip'''

''[[http://www.sincomics.com/phpAlbum/main.php?cmd=imageview&var1=DDG%2FDDG01.jpg&var2=2 DDG]]'' (Drop Dead Gorgeous) was a [[BSideComics donation based]] WebComic from ''Sins Venials'' which updated every 75 dollars ([[ScheduleSlip more or less]]) dealing with the trials and tribulations of the recently deceased Zip.

After having died under mysterious circumstances, Zip finds himself in purgatory having neither been good enough to go to heaven nor bad enough to go to hell. Hindered and occasionally helped by his guide 'Netta, Zip tries to rack up enough karma points to move on while coping with day to day life in the land of the dead. After accidentally donning a magical cloak that gives him minor shapeshifting powers (and turns him into a girl), he becomes MsFanservice on an afterlife GameShow called ''You Bet'', eventually moving on to being a GrimReaper (in training).

The strip wrapped up on 17th October 2011 after 136 strips.

!!This webcomic provides examples of:
%%* AbusiveParents: It is strongly implied Zip's parent's were examples of this trope.
* BootCampEpisode: [[http://www.sincomics.com/phpAlbum/main.php?cmd=imageview&var1=DDG%2FDDG81.jpg&var2=2 here]]
** An entire arc actually, but it gradually has become less like a boot camp.
%%* CallItKarma
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Played straight, Children (and animal souls) go straight to heaven
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: Off World seems to live on this trope. One notable incident involved Zip giving himself a sympathetic pregancy.
* ClingyMacGuffin: Literally, the [[ImpossiblyCoolClothes cloak]] that smothers Zip early on (as well as giving him a Permanent GenderBender).
* {{Crossover}}: With Magical Girl Policy from Taralynn's Desk. (Find it here: http://taralynn.sincomics.com )
%%* DeadToBeginWith: The first strip.
* DontFearTheReaper: Reapers and Guides are fairly benign, but somewhat playful.
%%* {{Fanservice}}: And lots of it.
%%* FreakyIsCool: Much of Off World.
%%* GenderBender: Caused by a [[ItMakesSenseInContext semi-sentient cloak]].

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: [[http://www.sincomics.com/phpAlbum/main.php?cmd=imageview&var1=DDG%2FDDG92.jpg&var2=2 Offworld needs a montage]].
** [[DontExplainTheJoke So of course, the next page is a montage.]]
* MagicSkirt: MagicSkirt failure in [[http://www.sincomics.com/phpAlbum/main.php?cmd=imageview&var1=DDG%2FDDG54.jpg&var2=2 this strip]].
* MandysLawOfAnimeGenderBending: Netta seems to enjoy keeping Zip a girl far too much to let him change back
** And after 132 episodes finally [[http://www.sincomics.com/phpAlbum/main.php?cmd=imageview&var1=DDG%2FPages+100%2B%2FDDG131.jpg&var2=2 averted]] and Zip was returned to his male state. Not that it seemed to help his romantic aspirations.
