Webcomic: The Comic Adventures of Left & Right

The Comic Adventures of Left & Right is a dada webcomic by chickensnack. It is about two friends, Left and Right. Needs a Better Description because I'm still at a loss how to describe it in general.

This webcomic provides examples of:

Alt Text - Inserted retroactively as of September 2010.
Art Shift - One strip titled "Webcomic" is drawn in the stereotypical webcomic style, complete with "really long buildup and stupid punchline".
Art Evolution - The first few dozen comics are smaller than the current standard and "do not have the nintendo seal of approval".
Barbie Doll Anatomy - Averted in "Skins".
Bland Name Product - Referenced in "Parody Brand Names".
Cross Over - With several other webcomics in the Halloween strip "Richard Butt"
Dada Comic - Especially the MS Paint strips.
Glad-to-Be-Alive Sex - Escape from Demonic Hell House
Grave Humor - A Running Gag involves characters dying and cutting to their gravestone with an oddly specific epitaph.
High-Class Glass - Subverted; whatever Carpaccio is wearing apparently isn't a monocle.
Hollywood Game Design - A well-known and particularly Narmful commercial was parodied in "Tightness". The comment even asks "BUT AT WHAT COST????"
Hot Skitty-on-Wailord Action - Owldog's father is a giant talking owl and his mother is a dog.
Inexplicably Identical Individuals - The character Guy, a mostly nondescript blob, is "actually many different guys. Also sometimes gals".
Keet - Paperchan
Magic Feather
Mix-and-Match Critters - Owldog is the result of "unspeakable owl/dog atrocities."
MS Paint - Some comics are published in this style for various reasons, usually tiredness or laziness.
Negative Continuity
Nice Hat - Guy's hat broadcasts his mood or thoughts. The Magic Tree Saga revealed that it is an LCD hat, although it's possible that this hat is only one of his hats.
- More direct in "Hat Selection"
No Celebrities Were Harmed - Abe
No Indoor Voice - Owldog's father
- Most of the author's comments coupled with the strips are written in all caps.
No Name Given - For much of the comic's run, many recurring characters did not have names. On 13 August 2009, the author put up a cast page to correct this, thus legitimizing it as a "real webcomic".
Perpetual Frowner - Owldog's default expression
Remix Comic - Via the site's randomizer. Much of its output is gold.
Punk Punk - Parodied in Golfcon
Ripped from the Headlines
Schmuck Bait - The Cave of Regret arc.
Show Within a Show - Geeknerds.EXE; Paperchan; Mutt Patrol.
The Stoic - Rarely does Owldog break his default facial expression.
Take That - "R.I.P. Left & Right - It Was 'Because of Winn-Dixie'"
There Are No Girls on the Internet - "Video Games"
Unusual Euphemism - Subverted in "Crops"
Visual Pun - Much of its humor is founded on language jokes.
Written Sound Effect - *grate grate*.
