History Webcomic / Doobl

%%* CerebusSyndrome

%%* StealthParody

* KillEmAll: [[spoiler:The comic ends with Doobl having shot every single character dead, then turning the gun on himself.]]

Sadly/Thankfully, the whole thing is a [[http://lederhosen.livejournal.com/438053.html hoax]]. The newspaper that the "suicide" was reported in (the "Dallas Times"), does not and has never existed. And the Church that the person claimed to be part of doesn't exist either. Someone was enjoying themselves setting the whole things up ...

* RhymesOnADime: Ooxy speaks in rhymes, and is seen in early strips trying to get Neek to do the same, with little successZ

%%* DeathByNewberyMedal: The death of Scue's pet hamster eventually leads to Doobl losing faith. %% Misuse.

%%* KillEmAll: How the comic ends.

--> "If I could destroy the world in one fell swoop send all the kittens and butterflies and Jesus followers and Satanists and Islams and Germans and Republicans and Democrtats and Baptists and moonlit nights and swing voters and croissants and station wagons and smog and perfume and rainbows and love and torment I would."
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Humi's reaction upon learning he just raped a guy.
* PedophilePriest: [[invoked]] It's heavily implied that Jess Hanley was one - if you read the old news, his church accuses him of having inappropriate relations with several young girls in the ministry, and though he denies it it's incredibly obvious that he was one. [[spoiler:The clincher is if you read the [[http://doobl.comicgenesis.com/images/obit1.jpg final comic/obituary]], where the cut-off text near the bottom has one of the head ministers remark that "[he'd] never seen someone who approached children in quite the same joyous [manner]", and that Jess blamed "drugs, alcohol, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick the allure of underaged [girls]]]".]]

%%* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Humi ''was'' a subversion of this trope... Riiiiight up until he read where the TropeMaker came from.
%%* RhymesOnADime: Ooxy.
%%* SignificantAnagram: [[spoiler:Blood.]]

* WhamLine: The [[http://doobl.comicgenesis.com/d/20060724.html July 24th comic]] marks the series's turn to a SubvertedKidsShow with the line, "Don't you call me a sinner, you fucking Jew!" Naturally, the other characters react with shock. [[http://doobl.comicgenesis.com/d/20060719.html A few strips before it]], Neek helps set the event in motion by stating that "Animals don't have souls!" And then [[http://doobl.comicgenesis.com/d/20060925.html one more strip]] brings out the FromBadToWorse trope to its fullest. "I wonder if she can outrun a bullet."

* StrawNihlist: The author degrades into this.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Doobl looks rather angry and angular. GenreSavvy readers might notice this and realize that, if he were actually the main character of a kid-friendly webcomic, he'd probably look a little more rounded or child-like. In fact, his attitude whenever he's focused on before Scue's hamster dies sounds more and more like he doesn't want to be in the comic.

* CreatorBreakdown: The creator's mother dies, and the webcomic slowly becomes darker and darker.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Doobl looks rather angry and not kid friendly. That or he's wearing shades.
