The KAMics
is a webcomic by Keith Alan Morgan (or KAM for short). It is a collection of stand alone cartoons and cartoon series. Also found here.
The KAMics provides examples of:
- April Fools' Day: A few times, in 2005 KAM quit which actually started off a short storyline; in 2009, to wrap up a humorous disagreement between him & the author of Magical Misfits, did this; and in 2010 turned it into an April Fools Month turning his various characters into ponies.
- Art Shift: Some series are done in different styles, although sometimes an art shift happens on an artistic whim.
- Author Vocabulary Calendar: As you may have gathered from this page, KAM really, really likes ampersands.
- The Cameo: Has lots of cameos of other webcomic characters. Then again the author is a self-confessed Cameowhore.
- Cut and Paste Comic: Used to do a lot of it, but not so much now. However the creator prefers the term Copy & Paste as it's more accurate.
- Frankenstein's Monster: Apparently Dr. Frankenstein was quite busy here.
- Fun with Acronyms: S.M.O.G. (Semi-Mystical Otherworldly Gate)
- Funny Animal: Some of the series, anyway. Mr & Mrs. Rockhound & related toons are set in a universe where dogs take the place of humans, Big Bad Rockwolf has anthropomorphic wolves & pigs.
- Goggles Do Something Unusual: Obbie S. Myth's glasses allow him to see electrical & magical ability as well as compensate for a missing eye, Ms. Terial's goggles allow her to see in the dark & see far away.
- The Grim Reaper: Hela from Norse Mythology is the official Grim Reaper (although for a while it seemed to be Steve of Life and Death). She doesn't dress very traditional though. She describes her job as a guide for the dead type.
- Massive Multiplayer Crossover: Participated in the Crossover Wars as well as several Halloween Cameo Capers.
- Mechanical Horse: Gertrude, Brunhilda & Nikki have mechanical pegasi.
- No Fourth Wall: Several series do this as do some characters. Nikki was told she was fictional, but she knows better now.
- Pixel Art Comic: Mostly the Rockhounding cartoons the artist did for his club newsletter. Originally because of the programs the artist was working with then, but later to keep a consistent look to the series.
- Really 700 Years Old: Gertrude, Brunhilda & Nikki are several thousand years old.
- Remix Comic: Remix Theatre where the author takes various panels & creates new comics.
- Retcon: Nikki was told by the author that she was a fictional character without a name, was later named by a reader, then it was retconned that she was a sister to the ex-Valkyries Gertrude & Brunhilda & her name had always been Nikki & she didn't realize this because of amnesia.
- Take That, Critics!: This comic gives the doomed guard the same name as another cartoonist who had done a comic trashing other comics' characters & authors.
- Webcomic Print Collection: The first collection came out in June 2013.
- Your Universe or Mine?: Brunhilda is dating Bobby from the webcomic Life and Death.
