Widgey Q. Butterfluff contains the following tropes:

• Affectionate Parody: Of super-cheery Saturday Morning cartoons, especially those of the 1980s.
• All Girls Want Bad Boys: Widgey's attraction to Buster.
• Badbutt: Buster wishes he was even this. An "evil" Widgey he briefly imagines, however, plays this trope straight.
• Brick Joke: Involving Isaac Newton.
• Ditzy Genius: Professor Schoolbug is a textbook example.
• Embarrassing Old Photo: We see Lord Meanskull's middle school photo at one point. He apparently had a fuzzstache and was a huge Nine Inch Nails fan. And somehow a living skull had acne.
• Author Appeal: This is a Steph Cherrywell comic. What do you think?
• Girls Have Cooties: Buster's view of Widgey. Subverted very briefly when he has bizarre insect sex with her, but naturally it doesn't last.
• Gosh Darn It to Heck!: Widgey is prone to this.
• Hyper Competent Sidekick: Lord Meanskull's "Hench-Witches." Especially Papunya.
• I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin: PILLOWS. Not to be confused with cushions, which can be used in moderation by responsible adults.
• Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Lord Meanskull.
• Only Sane Mouse: Jolene.
• Shotacon: Widgey, but only because Buster is the only male of their species she's ever met.
• Sugar Bowl: While a lot of the saccharine sweetness is deconstructed or parodied, there are still some moments that will make your teeth hurt.
• Tastes Like Diabetes: Intentionally so.
