History ComicBook / Lumberjanes

* IncrediblyLamePun: April wins her Pungeon Master badge in the second issue for making one of these.

** Camp leader Rosie. She doesn't punish the girls for sneaking out, and warns them that they're going to encounter even more weird stuff before the summer's over.

* OriginsEpisode: Issue #13 counts in detail how the girls first met at the camp, and their first meeting with the supernatural as well.

* KnightOfCerebus: Sola, the HumanoidAbomination CollectorOfTheStrange from the ''Beyond Bay Leaf'' one-shot is the first antagonist in a SugarBowl series with WhiteAndGreyMorality that can be considered genuinely evil, drawing on the power of innocent magical creatures to sustain her own existence. [[spoiler:Even after the Janes defeat her, she taunts them by promising that the summer will end and so will their friendships.]]
** The Parents Day arc shows the parents of the girls to be fun and somewhat embarrassing… until Molly’s homophobic and emotionally abusive mother shows up.

* HasTwoMommies: Jo has two dads who are introduced being supportive of her choices despite wanting her to put her genius tech skills to good use.

** Mal's mother fully supports her daughter's relationship with Molly.

* LoveTriangle: A subtle one develops between Barry, April, and Jo.

* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: For starters, they prefer to be called "merwomyn." And, while some have a fully humanoid upper half, others have scales and fins on their upper half of their bodies. Also, music is a huge part of merpeople culture. They also wear regular clothes instead of your standard SeashellBra, and some of the ones we see have mohawks and piercings.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

An animated adaptation [[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/lumberjanes-animated-series-in-the-works-at-hbo-max is in development]] on Creator/HBOMax, to be showrun by Stevenson.

* NiceHat: Molly's raccoon. Which is [[HeadPet actually a live raccoon.]]

''Lumberjanes'' from Creator/BoomStudios was about a summer camp cabin of girls who sneak out at night and stumble into paranormal adventures. It's ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' meets ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' featuring five butt-kicking, rad teenage girls whaling on monsters, solving mysteries, and making friends in the EnchantedForest outside of the camp. Jo, April, Mal, Molly and Ripley are five best pals determined to have an awesome summer together... and they're not gonna let any insane quest or an array of supernatural critters get in their way!

** Apparently, [[spoiler:the camp itself counts as this, too. Jo calls her parents in Issue 17, and finds out that although they've spent weeks at camp, her parents think they've only spent a few days there.]]

Originally conceived as an 8-issue limited series, 75 issues, a one-shot GrandFinale, 4 annual one-shot specials, and 3 original graphic novels were ultimately published between 2014 and 2020. The original creative team consisted of Creator/NDStevenson, Brooklyn Allen, Boom! editor Shannon Waters, and Grace Ellis [[note]]this was originally billed as an all-woman creative team, but Allen came out as a transman during the series run, and Stevenson later as transmasculine; later creators have been women[[/note]]. There was considerable turnover throughout the book's run (which included Stevenson leaving after issue 17 to pursue a career [[WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder in]] [[WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower animation]]). In 2016, the series crossed over with ''ComicBook/GothamAcademy'' for [[ComicBook/LumberjanesGothamAcademy a six issue miniseries]]. Four {{middle grade|Literature}} prose novels were published from 2017–2019, written by Creator/MarikoTamaki.
