* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Well the comic is called Between Failures after all, but nevertheless the comic’s overall cynical tone and the cast being nothing but [[DeadpanSnarker snarkers]] has made the comic a bit of a chore to read for some.

Carol's a main character, so she can't qualify for this trope.


* EnsembleDarkhorse: Carol Graves, by far. Whether it's because of her [[BigBeautifulWoman body figure]], her [[DeadpanSnarker snarky attitude]], or generally being the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman, she's easily one of the most well loved characters in the comic's fanbase.

Flame Bait and cut trope.


* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: Much of Thomas' advice.
* GaryStu: Thomas Blackwell, he always seems to know what to say or do to help himself or his friends and is given the lion’s share of times when he is the one who is right in a conflict.

Added DiffLines:

* JustHereForGodzilla: It is very common for most people to only follow the comic for Carol and Carol only, mainly due to her [[BigBeautifulWoman design,]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold personality,]] and the rest of the cast just not being as interesting.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: While her "innocence" on the whole is debatable, Thomas' ex [[spoiler: deciding to hold her book signing in the same store Thomas works at]] could definitely be considered insensitive.
** Additionally, doing things without asking others or considering their opinions seems to be a bad habit of hers, but then we only have one incident and [[UnreliableNarrator the word of her ex]] as proof of that. [[spoiler: Her husband]], however, does offer some extra proof, saying that she's been steaming ahead with [[spoiler: moving back to Kansas between her Pregnancy and her Mother falling ill. Plus, she also picks up a job application for the store - where, reminder, her bitter ex-boyfriend works - for either herself or her husband, seemingly with little regard that the staff, who are a tight knit group with Thomas as their linchpin, would have a problem, including after Nina reacted to her presence with outright ''hostility'']].

I think most of us can agree that Carol is the most popular character. Also, I fixed a capitalization error.
