Webcomic: Edmund Finneys Quest To Find The Meaning Of Life

I've met many people in my travels, many hospitable, others not as much. It's times like these that reassure me you can still count on the kindness... and strangeness... of strangers.

—Edmund, here.

here.

Tropes that apply to this webcomic are:

• Alt Text: That little paintbrush icon on the left? Hover your mouse over that and you'll see some things Edmund wrote in his notebook. (Although, not for every comic.)
• Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: http://eqcomics.com/2009/10/23/monster-games/
• "Bang!" Flag Gun: Used here and here.
• Beat Panel: This.
• Bigfoot, Sasquatch and Yeti: Both have appeared.
• Captain Colorbeard: Captain Twobeard.
• Cassandra Truth: To be fair, it's highly improbable.
• Chainsaw Good: Chainsaw Chaz.
• Chew Bubblegum: Parodied here.
• Christmas Episode: One or two.
• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Everyone. Including the author, who is terrified that someday a squirrel will fall on his head, and is worried that miniature people will shoot him while he's making popcorn.
• Crazy-Prepared: Edmund himself, according to Word of God.
• Felony Misdemeanor: Zig-Zagged here.
• Fiction500: That bad, huh?
• Fridge Logic: While the crazy people in the asylum may seem simplistically, offensively crazy, a moment's thought reveals that anyone crazy enough to be committed in this world has to be nuts.
• Halloween Episode: One every year! There have been four so far.
• Glass-Shattering Sound: According to the Alt Text, this.
• Global Warming: This strip, as well as being invoked and parodied here.
• I Don't Like the Sound of That Place: http://eqcomics.com/2010/10/12/an-ominous-island/
• I'm a Humanitarian: this guy. And this one. Subverted with the Cannibal Tribe.
• Lampshade Hanging: ...
• Literal-Minded: Literal Lord Werriam.
• Mathematician's Answer: "Is this guy the sheriff or the town drunk?" "Yes."
• Magic Feather: Parodied here.
• Monster Clown: This. And this. As well as this for good measure.
• Morton's Fork: here. Edmund tries to Take a Third Option. It doesn't work.
• Not the Fall That Kills You: It's the snakes.
• Only Sane Man: Edmund.
• Pants-Free: The man at the information desk.
• Shout-Out: Two in this strip, one to Jurassic Park and one to Romeo and Juliet.
  • This (and the following arc) to The Twilight Zone.
  • This to Moby-Dick.
  • This is one to Dragon's Den.
  • This one to Indiana Jones.
• Squee: Played with here. And again, with this.
• Title Drop: Not the title of the comic itself, but for each of the two book collections:
  Edmund: It's times like these that reassure me you can still count on the kindness... and strangeness... of strangers.
  Edmund: Well, that was among the stranger things I've seen.
• Totem Pole Trench: Horribly subverted.
• Unfazed Everyman: Edmund is always polite and calm, whether he's dealing with pirates, aliens, or lunatics.
• Writing by the Seat of Your Pants: Dan has stated that he doesn't plan ahead, just sits down with a blank piece of paper and draws whatever comes into his head.
• Wrong Turn at Albuquerque: Referenced in the Alt Text for this strip.
