** Whenever Chynna Clugston-Major does a comic for another series, keep your eyes peeled for the cast of ''Blue Monday''. Clover, Bleu, Erin, and Alan (with Victor in the background) can be found searching for the Comicbook/TeenTitans in ''ComicBook/TeenTitansGo'' #38, and have their own table in the background of a panel in ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvelTeamUp''. (Note that the coloring is off; Bleu's recognizable blue hair is given to Alan, while she has pink hair).

* TheVerse: A {{Crossover}} with Creator/PaulDini's ''ComicBook/JingleBelle'' implies this, as does some promotional art with Clugston-Major's other comic, ''ComicBook/ScooterGirl''.

''Blue Monday'' is a comic series (comprised of small strips, short stories, and longer multi-issue arcs) written and drawn by Chynna Clugston, an indie rock and pop-culture fanatic. The series revolves around [[MeaningfulName Bleu]] L. Finnegan, a teenager living in early 90's California, her friends, and their misadventures.

* AdultsAreUseless: Very averted. Not only do the adults play crucial (if minor) roles, but they're always one step ahead of the kids when it comes to their misbehavior.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Averted. None of the main female cast seem at all interested in jocks or "playas". Bleu even goes so far as to wonder where all the Paul Weller wannabes are ... before meeting and crushing on Mister Bishop, who for all intents and purposes is a CoolLoser who isn't anywhere near "badboy" enough to take advantage of her feelings even if he wanted to.

* LoveDodecahedron: Let's see: Bleu likes Mr. Bishop, who doesn't seem to have a romantic interest. (Plus, she's his student.) Both Victor and Alan like Bleu, but Victor actually prefers Clover, who sorta likes Victor back but is in denial about it. Erin likes Alan but doesn't stand a chance with him, so she tries to hook Victor and Bleu up so that Alan can't have Bleu (and later actually does go out with Alan, ostensibly to make Bleu jealous). Monkeyboy seems to like Erin but would probably take anyone he could.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Bleu takes to masturbation like a duck to water, and suddenly starts visiting the girls' room at school a bit too much.
-->"So, um, how 'bout that hall pass?"

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Averted. None of the main female cast seem at all interested in jocks or "playas". Bleu even goes so far as to wonder where all the Paul Weller wannabes are ... before meeting and crushing on Mister Bishop, who for all intents and purposes is a [[{{Nerd}} Cool Nerd]] who isn't anywhere near "badboy" enough to take advantage of her feelings even if he wanted to.

** The third volume is named after Music/TheCure's "Inbetween Days" and contains chapters titled after "Dead Man's Party" by Music/OingoBoingo, [[OddNameOut the band The Blue Belles]], The Cure's "Lovecats", and "Nobody's Fool" by Cinderella, which itself is made up of two parts, "Everything's Gone Green" by Music/NewOrder and "Everybody Plays the Fool" by The Main Ingredient.

* {{Animesque}}

* FieryRedHead: Clover.
* FightingIrish: Clover is easily the most violent character.

* GoNagaiSideburns: Victor.

** Want to play a game of ''TabletopGame/{{Clue}}'' with everyone actually playing their roles? Sounds fun ... until three separate people spike the punch and one attendant keeps looking at the clue cards.

-->'''Bleu:''' If you didn't know each other before, I'd say you know each other now. Is that legal in public?
-->'''Victor:''' Sorry! I'm sorry!
-->'''Clover:''' I ''hope'' for your sake that's a [[TeenyWeenie pencil]]! A simple ''"hello"'' would have done fine, y'know!

-->'''Bleu:''' (to Clover) Come on, chickie baby, let's go shake it!
-->'''Erin:''' Bleu, you have the squarest vocabulary on the planet.
-->'''Bleu:''' You're the one who said "square". Who uses that anymore?
-->'''Erin:''' I was using it to make a point!
-->'''Bleu:''' Erin, you're so ''rad''. So ''boss''. So much hipper than me.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Bleu. Too bad the comic is in black and white ... (though now it's been reprinted in color)

* IAteWhat: The pube-burgers!

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Bleu. Too bad the comic is in black and white ...

* PerverseSexualLust: In universe. Bleu tries to think about Mr. Bishop the first time she masturbates, but the chaste, CourtlyLove she has for him makes getting off difficult. [[JerkAss But fantasizing about Alan?]] Does the trick in no time. She's not sure how to feel after that.
