Kroko Comics is a webcomic by Piti Yindee of Wuffle fame. Kroko, once a cereal mascot, had gone missing. Fortunately, Otto, his biggest fan and a (wannabe) detective, is on the case!
The comic is released through Patreon
and Twitter, but the comic is in a hiatus.
These tropes are (no longer) part of a balanced breakfast!
- Adjacent to This Complete Breakfast: Averted: the commercial never depicts Kroko Chomps with other food.
- Arc Words: 'With KROKO CHOMPS you can be anything!'
- Ascended Fanboy: Otto ends up keeping Kroko safe.
- Chocolate-Frosted Sugar Bombs: Implied: a newspaper says that Kroko Chomps was discontinued because parents think that the cereal is too sugary.
- Comically Small Bribe: Otto manages to distract Foxxo by claiming that a 500 Baht bill just flew by. (At the time, that was $15.81 in United States money.)
- Darker and Edgier: Compared to Wuffle, Kroko Comics has more vulgar humour, profanity (albeit light), and Fanservice.
- Deliberate Values Dissonance: Kroko's commercial, being a throwback to 90's commercials, involves a liberal use of shotguns (which would be verboten in an age more sensitive to mass shootings) and a bomb strapped to someone (which would be verboten in an age more sensitive to Muslims).
- Digital Piracy Is Okay: He outright confirmed that Kroco Comics (and all of his media) is under the CC0 License.
- Dream Reality Check: After Otto actually meets Kroko, Otto pinches himself. Kroko also pinches himself, thinking that is a new way of greeting.
- The Faceless: Otto's mother shows only a bit of her jaw at most.
- Fanservice: We see Kroko take a shower, then wear Stripperiffic clothes. Even Otto was embarrassed by the shower scene and worried by how 'too revealing' were Kroko's clothes.
- Hoist by His Own Petard:
- The high sugar content of Kroko Chomps put them out of business.
- The Ninja's hookshot ended up burying the Ninja under statue rubble.
- Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: All chapter names are jokes of some sort.
- Ill-Timed Sneeze: Otto and Kroko painted themselves and pretended that they were statues, thus avoiding a Ninja who wants to hunt Kroko... but a feather makes Otto sneeze, which alerts the Ninja.
- McNinja: Implied: the Ninja that hunts Kroko is located in a place that uses the Thai baht.
- Mythology Gag:
- The cover of the Moonman novel is a partial silhouette of Wuffle.
- Never Smile at a Crocodile: Subverted: when Otto was going to take a bath in the fountain, some crocodile-esque shadow figure appears… who turns out to be Kroko, who needs Otto's help, instead.
- Ninja: One hunts Kroko in 'The Cereal Killer'.
- Non-Fatal Explosions: Despite having a bomb strapped to her, the hunter just ends up with an ashen surface. Justified: they are in a 90's style commercial.
- Retraux: The covers are rendered in the style of an old pulp novel.
- Separate Scene Storytelling: The first few pages are actually a Kroko Chomps commercial.
- Shout-Out:
- Several characters that appear in Warren T. Hog's Bar & Café; are cameos of characters of friends of Piti Yindee.
- Breeze and Temper from BreezeInTheClouds also appear.
- Wart mentions Sherlock Holmes.
- The Chapter titled 'The Fox of Parfait Street' is a reference to TheWolfOfWallStreet.
- Shower Scene: 'The Fox of Parfait Street' has a shot of Kroko showering.
- Stealth Sequel: Kroko Comics shares a universe with and is set after Wuffle, though the settings are different.
- Unsound Effect: EMPTY~
- Wham Shot: Foxxo from Wuffle is in charge of Otto's apartment. In fact, Foxxo and Joe are regular characters.
