The comic is about the advantures of a little girl called Cindy and her dog Biscuit. Cindy lives in a small town somewhere near, but not on, the English coast, has a single mother who is too harried by the practical demands of life to provide much emotional parenting, and is her school's outcast weird kid. She also spends most of her time out of school killing or otherwise interacting with the surprisingly large number of monsters, aliens and evil robots who plague the area.

!!This comic provides examples of:
* AlienAbduction: Cindy and Biscuit once got abducted by an alien animal collector. Things did not go well for the alien.
* AliensAreBastards: Other types of supernatural entity can be harmless or genuinely nice, but all the aliens that Cindy's met were evil.
* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: Cindy has a snowball fight with an Abominable Snowman.
* BloodKnight: Cindy does avoid genuinely harming entities that don't seem to be hostile, but she's mainly driven by a largely unadulterated love of fighting monsters to the death.
* CarryABigStick: Cindy's usual weapon is a tree branch. It's indicated explicitly several times that they usually only last for one fight.
* CatsAreMean: A sinister black cat lures Biscuit into a bizarre cat-themed otherworld.
* CuteBruiser: Cindy's EstablishingCharacterMoment in the very first story has her hitting an alien over the head with a stick hard enough to smash its spacesuit helmet to pieces and utterly pulverise its head.
* EvilClown: One NoodleIncident appeared to involve an Evil Clown-themed HumungousMecha.
* TheFaceless: All adult characters are shown only from the neck down.
* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: Despite the cartoon art style, some of the battle scenes are extremely graphic.
* GilliganCut: A RunningGag has Cindy musing on the need for stealth, followed by an immediate cut to a panel of her charging something while waving a tree branch and screaming.
* HeroicDog: Biscuit fights side by side with his mistress, and has the odd solo strip.
* ImNotAfraidOfYou: Cindy's and Biscuit's nights are sometimes disturbed by a screaming ghostly skull, but since it can't actually do anything they just ignore it until it goes away.
* KillerTeddyBear: Cindy's sock monkey Mr. Andrews came to evil life and tried to kill her in her sleep.
* LawyerFriendlyCameo: One single-panel chapter features a highly-recognisable [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Transformer]] who had a very RealityEnsues encounter with a car scrapyard.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It is ''just about'' possible to read the comic naturalistically as the story of a lonely and disturbed little girl with a disturbingly violent imagination, although the strips from Biscuit's point of view suggest otherwise.
* NoodleIncident: Several chapters are single panels that show one moment or a memory of what was obviously a more complicated story.
* NotNowKiddo: Practically every encounter Cindy has with an adult.
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Cindy's school biology trip to the seaside ended up with her being attacked by a very fishlike and inhuman mer-thing.
* PettingZooPeople: A werewolf of the "wolf-headed shaggy humanoid" type can regularly be found in the woods near Cindy's house. Despite his gory eating habits when it comes to bunnies, he's one of the nicest entities that Cindy meets, and one of her very few genuine friends.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: A pre-pubescent girl who regularly beats monsters several times her size to death with pieces of wood.
* PlayingPossum: The mer-creature does this to Cindy so that it can try to eat her.
* PuppeteerParasite: One of these tried to take advantage of Cindy's more depressive tendencies to take her over, but Biscuit saved her.
* RockBeatsLaser: When Cindy and Biscuit were abducted by an alien scientist, it ended with Biscuit sending his spaceship haywire by urinating on an important control panel, and Cindy beating him with an iron bar until he agreed to take her home.
* ScreamingWarrior: One of Cindy's defining characteristics.
* {{Snowlems}}: Cindy can't even make a snowman without it coming to evil life and attacking her.
* SwappedRoles: When Biscuit destroys Mr. Andrews, Cindy, who slept through the whole thing, thinks that he destroyed her toy out of mischief or jealousy.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehaviour: Cindy has a really disturbing love of violence for her age.
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: A particularly tragic version, as Cindy's schoolfellows just think she's weird and bully her, and her mother and teachers think she's being naughty and making up stories.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: One particularly disturbing strip has Cindy dreaming about destroying the entire Earth, and being utterly joyful about it.
