History ComicBook / Cavewoman

* TankTreadMecha: In ''Labyrinth'', Meriem is attacked by a zombie cyborg guard who has a [[ChhainsawGood chainsaw for an arm]] and whose torso is mounted on a robot base with crawler tracks.

* MostCommonSuperpower: In spades! Meriem is one of the best examples, crossing over with BoobsOfSteel.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Meriem. Justified in that 1) she hasn't had shoes for about a decade and 2) they wouldn't withstand all she does, even without factoring in her invulnerability.

* BleachedUnderpants: There is a LOT of official mature content (mature-rated alternate covers, mature artbooks, etc).

* ClotheslineStealing: In ''Shorts'', Meriem finds herelf naked yet again, and 'borrows' a pair of [[WhoWearsShortShorts Daisy Dukes]] and a slightly too small shirt from a clothesline on the outskirts of Marshville.

* WhoWearsShortShorts: Meriem can be found filling out many pairs of oh-so-tiny-shorts in the Cavewoman Pin-up galleries.

* BigBraToFill: ''Cavewoman: The Movie'', played this for laughs, as the actress set to play Cavewoman (in-universe) was a few cup sizes short of her comic book counterpart, and didn't she know it.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Under later writer/artist Rob Durham, Meriem can be seen sporting a pair of yellow snake-skin thigh-highs[[note]]Still no shoes, though.[[/note]]. You can easily tell when a book is written by him, as no matter sun or rain, wind or snow, Meriem will be wearing them.
** After [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal receiving repeated requested from the readers]] to draw her in them, a couple other artists have started to do it to, though it's not universal.

* SexyDiscretionShot: When Meriem sneaks into Bruce's holding cell through the window, she accidentally lands in bed with him, losing the bottom half of her jungle bikini in the process. When two decide to enjoy their private moment together, the comic cuts to the outside cell window, focusing on the torn bikini while romantic music plays in the background.

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Before she vanished from the modern era, young Meriem was a childhood best friend to Bruce Kabbit. When the two reunite in the prehistoric past, they become adult lovers and even have sex at the end of the first story arc.

* CaughtInASnare: At the end of ''Killing Dinos 101 Summer Break'', Miriam steps in a snare she had set earlier and forgotten about and ends the issue dangling upside down.

At Gramp's laboratory, Meriem discoveres a time machine and a body-enhancing device that allows a living being to pass through the time stream. It is here that she first meets Klyde, Gramp's 15-foot-tall lab gorilla who has been accidentally altered by the body enhancer. Gramp then enhances Meriem as well, and the trio begins an ongoing adventure through time while on the run from dinosaurs and a secret branch of the government.

* BadassGrandpa: The genetically enhanced Gramps takes on drug dealers and dinosaurs with equal aplomb.

* AwkwardFirstSleepover: In ''It's a Girl's Life'', Carrie decides to throw a SlumberParty for Meriem and Mona after learning that Meriem had never been to one (having spent her teen years in the jungle). Mona, who had a very sheltered upbringing, finds it quite awkward at first, as Carrie throws a slumber party that is much more 'adult' than she was expecting.
