History Webcomic / Girly

After 764 strips, the comic reached its GrandFinale, but Jackie eventually made a spinoff (set inbetween various {{Time Skip}}s within the comic) called ''Down Together'' (posted sporadically in their [[http://superhappyjackie.com/jlhp "Extra Comics" section]]). Their main project for a little while was ''Doctor Voluptua'' (too NSFW to link), and they're also a contributing artist and founder of ''Slipshine'', a erotic comic paysite, and later poured a lot of work into ''[[http://prinpan.tumblr.com/ Princess Panic]]'', a 2-D video game project with ''VideoGame/PaperMario''-styled gameplay in the (very) early planning stages, with some parts of the story uploaded as a comic on Platform/{{Webtoons}}. Lesnick also created another webcomic called ''Webcomic/YouSuck'', which can be found [[https://activisionblizzard.itch.io/you-suck here]].

* BilingualBonus: The nurse's assistant is speaking perfectly good french... [[UsefulNotes/CanadianAccents Quebec French, that is]].

* ModernMinstrelsy: The original version of #529 had a white guy getting accidentally covered in black paint and exclaiming, "Oh, Lawdy!" as one of many [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation Golden Age animation]] homages. In 2021, Jackie redrew the comic to remove this gag.

* YuriGenre: Otra and Winter's relationship is surprisingly deep, especially considering Lesnick's, ahem, [[BleachedUnderpants other work]].

-->"My art became so anime again, I don't even know how it happened this time."
-->"You can never escape anime."

* BrickJoke: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/411 The ninjas]] Policeguy mentions [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/413 appear in the flesh]] a few strips later.

* BoundAndGagged: [[spoiler:Captain Fist after being kidnapped.]]
** [[spoiler:Winter's parents when they were kidnapped.]]
*** [[spoiler:{{Tethercat principle}}: their fate is never really addressed]]
*** [[spoiler:But seeing as [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/743 they escaped]], appear in [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/742 #742]] [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/759 strip #759]] and [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/764 strip #764]] and Winter directly speaks to them in [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/746 strip #746]], they're both alive and well]]

* CallingYourAttacks: Including a ShoutOut to the [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam king of the trope]]. And with...
** CombinationAttack
** Also: ([[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/751 Super]]) [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/110 Kitten Bomber]].

* DenserAndWackier: Inverted -- ''Girly'' is less dense than ''Cute-Wendy'' was, and while it is still wacky, it's more coherently so. Also, CerebusSyndrome eventually sets in.

* GeorgeLucasAlteredVersion: In 2021, a few pages were redrawn by Jackie to remove insensitive material that didn't age well:

* HypercompetentSidekick: Slightly subverted. Winter and Otra work quite well as a team; however, Winter is useless without a sidekick to protect, while Otra, though perfectly capable of solo adventures, hates doing them.

* InformedAttribute: Collete is half-cutpaste.
** This one was actually demonstrated thoroughly and consistently up until the final arcs of the comic; the problem was that ''nobody got the joke'' until it was spelled out.

* InnerMonologue: Makes up a good deal of the script, at least at first. This gets lampshaded, and perhaps justified, later.

* NominalImportance: Subverted, Inverted, Played with, Lampshaded...just about anything ''except'' played straight. What else can you say when one of the protagonists is named "Officer Policeguy"?
** Though Officer Getskilled is for sure the major offender...[[spoiler: of subversion]].
*** [[spoiler: Played straight, apparently, [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/678 here]] and then subverted, with prejudice, [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/679 here]].]] Ladies and gentlemen, this is how you play with a trope.
* NoNameGiven: Otra at first; Winter's mother.

* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Not only is Doctor Lucy an omnidisciplinary veterinarian (shown at various times performing optometry, chiropractics, dentistry, psychiatry and aerobic instruction on various animals), she is also a GadgeteerGenius and an [[FriendToAllLivingThings elephant-whisperer]].

* PutOnABus: [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/83 Literally]] with Detective Clampjaw (probably intended at the time to be a LongBusTrip. [[spoiler: It took him over 600 pages to return to the story.]]). Played straight with Chuy and Autumn's [[spoiler: summer-long honeymoon]].

* SmokingIsCool: Sandra says it herself [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/723 here]].

* SuperSoldier: [[spoiler:Possibly Otra.]]
** The Police sidekicks are also super soldiers, not that it helps them for very long.

** Well he kinda was always that Badass. He just escaped his ButtMonkey status.

** Also done earlier when Otra comments it felt like she knew Winter for a year when it had only been three days.

** Does it count as BleachedUnderpants if they're still drawing porn and they advertise their porn site all the time?

%%* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: "All this swirly pitch blackness," "It's probably because it's so easy to draw...[[spoiler:[[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/760 our attention with it]].]]"

** And, of course, our protagonist, Otra. [[BilingualBonus "Otra" means "other" in Spanish]]. In addition to reflecting her initial feelings of isolation and loneliness, Otra's name is a callback to ''Girly'''s parent strip ''Cute-Wendy'', wherein Cute-Wendy's sidekick was known as "the other girl."

* NoodleIncident: Many. Otra refers to a previous instance in which Winter instigated "interspecies animal bootknocking," and a lot of the plot of chapter VIII is driven by a particularly crazy adventure that is never explained.

%%* ShutUpHannibal: "Nice try."

* OffModel: Otra is sometimes drawn without piercings (which Jackie points out in [[http://superhappyjackie.com/girly/254 #254's]] AltText).
