Commander Kitty
is a weekly
Web Comic by Scotty Arsenault featuring the misadventures of a cast of
Funny Animals In Space!!
CK is an aspiring spacer, always on the lookout for ways to make a name for himself in the annals of
Space History, but... he doesn't always know how to do that. Not that having a ragtag, generally inept crew helps matters. Or snarky AI. Or certain rivals who make him look bad. Or constantly being in the Wrong Place at the Wrong Time...
This comic provides examples of:
- Aborted Arc: The comic ended half way through a story, lay fallow for a year or more, and rebooted when it returned.
- Affectionate Parody
- Arm Cannon: Turns out those Gazelle dorks really did have good reason to be scared of Nin Wah's prosthetic after all!
- Art Shift: Mittens and Fluffy hatch a plan!
- Cats Are Mean: ...CK doesn't do much to 'disprove'' this...
- Chekhovs Gun: Everything shunted into space...
- Continuity Reboot: Aww...
- The Ditz: * cough* Fluffy* cough*
- Double Take: "'GAH!! SPACE ZOMBIES!!!"
- Immediately followed by: "Why did you put a leash on an eggplant?"
- Dead Pan Snarker: Why exactly would anyone want an AI with an attitude that bad?
- Dream Sequence: Too bad for CK, huh?
- Evil Twin: The characters who Kitty and Co. would appear to be fighting every time the server returned from downtime were apparently evil versions from a Mirror Universe. How did we know that they were the evil ones? Because Mirror Kitty had a goatee
- Kitty and his crew seem to be up against a rival crew of spacers who are similar, but apparently far more competent than Kitty is. Not strictly an Evil Twin, but this troper couldn't find the name of the trope that involves a more competent version of the main cast as secondary characters, even though he's sure there is one.
- Expanded Universe: Commander Kitty
and Nin Wah
on Twitter!
- Genius Ditz: Mr. Socks
- Half Dressed Cartoon Animal: Lampshaded so very hard.
- Heroic Wannabe: Kitty
- Hive Queen: The Tagged leader
- Non Sequitur Thud: Fluffy would kind of reset for a few minutes if asked a non-sequitur question, with a physical thud. Sadly there's no examples online since the reboot.
- Only Known By Their Nickname: Yep.
- Red Panda-ing To The Audience
- Planet Of Cats
- Punched Across The Room: With a belly
, in fact!
- Shout Out: Nin Wah doesn't think an awful lot
of her new arm.
- Spiteful AI: What is Mouse up to...
- Take That: The most recent character tweets are Kitty asking Daisy Owl and Homestar Runner if he can have their audiences, if they're done with them (as of this writing, neither has updated in months).
- Teleporter Accident: —although I'm sure Nin Wah isn't completely complaining.
- I don't think she's quite as happy about the army of alternate reality Fluffys that it materialised though!
- Thrown Out The Airlock: Until deemed fit to re-enter society.
- The Unintelligible: Dook dook. (Mr. Socks)
- Unwilling Roboticisation: The Tagged
- Weasel Mascot: Socks, though he doesn't really live up to the stereotype.
- Webcomic Time: Just don't ask about the bus. Just don't. Ever.
- Wrong Genre Savvy: CK seems to think he's the hero. Ace is the more likely candidate.
