History ComicBook / WetMoon

* KudzuPlot: As the story progresses it begins to involve a possible serial killer, psychic activity, relationship struggles, and a masked vigilante. Following several lengthy delays between books, Sophia Campbell finally released a final volume in which almost ''none'' of these plotlines are resolved or explained. YMMV on if that's in step with the odd characters.

* AntiClimax: Much tension comes from [[Spoiler:Myrtle's]] violent behavior, culminating in her committing several attacks and an investigation from Agent David Wolfe, who believes she's a serial killer. [[Spoiler:She's not, and turns herself in after stabbing Trilby. Wolfe's investigation leads nowhere.]]

* BiTheWay: Cleo enters a relationship with a girl in college after dating boys in high school. It's a point of contention with her when her friends and family tell her to "pick a side."

* ArtEvolution: Sophie Campbell's art noticeably changes in several subtle ways between Volume 1-3, which she goes into detail about on a Website/DeviantArt [[http://mooncalfe.deviantart.com/journal/13809212/ journal entry.]]
* ArtShift: When Trilby shows her parody "Nightdemon" comic book to Cleo.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Malady Mayapple, Zia Morlãn, Fall Swanhilde.
** Lampshaded by the cast when they realize the FBI agent's name is ''David Wolfe''.

* RomanticFalseLead: [[spoiler: Quite a few fans fell for the Trilby/Cleo ship after Trilby hits on Cleo while she is drunk. However, Trilby starts to fall for Martin, and Cleo begins a realtionship with Myrtle and later on Mara.]]

* ADateWithRosiePalms: A RareFemaleExample with Cleo, although nothing is actually depicted in the series.
** Mara wrote in one of her blogs that she masturbates a lot but she has never had an orgasm.
* AgentMulder: FBI Agent David Wolfe. Dude eats at Denny's with his pet monkey.
* AllMenArePerverts: Slicer is not helping to fight this image ''at all''.

* CatFight: PlayedWith. When Kinzoku catches Beth having lunch with Audrey, what ensues is more of a Cat Brawl.
* ContinuityNod: In book three, page 171-3, Brody from ComicBook/WaterBaby makes an appearance.

* DomesticAbuse: Natalie confides in Mara that she and her mother had to run away from her father.
** [[spoiler: Beth is physically and emotionally abusive to Audrey, and Myrtle is emotionally abusive to Cleo.]]

** It's upside down.
* EmoTeen: Yeah, that's Cleo alright. Zia too.

* HarmfulToMinors: Audrey is '''not''' pleased to find out that [[spoiler: the twenty-something Slicer is sleeping with the teenage Fall.]]

* LoveTriangle: The unconfident Audrey ends up attracting Kinzoku, a skinny Asian chick, and Beth, a muscular ButchLesbian, much to Audrey's frustration.
** And then [[spoiler: Mara starts pulling Cleo away from Myrtle.]]
* ModestyTowel: Natalie walks around with these twice in the series. Malady even she should wear something like it for a dress.

* {{Nerd}}: Some of the cast might count, but Trilby takes the title after having sex with Franchise/TheChroniclesOfRiddick going on in the background, cosplaying as a {{catgirl}} from ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'', getting a tattoo of the Borg symbol and even admitting that she wanted to start being a vigilante.
** Subverted in that she's also a [[Franchise/StarTrek Trekkie]], but doesn't want others to know due to fear of humiliation.

* SchoolYardBullyAllGrownUp: [[spoiler: Cleo]] believe it or not.

* SpecialGuest: Cleo and her friends attend a concert by Bella Morte, a real life {{Industrial}} {{Goth}} band in Volume 3.
** Trilby also gets to meet real-life indie comics artist [[http://www.estrigious.com/becky/ Becky Cloonan]] when she attends a local comic-con.

* WhamEpisode: Volume 5, which immediately kicks off with [[spoiler: Natalie getting her face carved open by Myrtle]], then goes on to Cleo and Myrtle's first big verbal fight, Trilby opening up about [[spoiler: being raised as an orphan]], Cleo seeing [[spoiler: a monstrous version of Fern appear in her room]], and ends on a [[SarcasmMode happy note]] when [[spoiler: Myrtle ambushes and stabs Trilby repeatedly in the gut]].

* MostAnnoyingSound: Cleo's ringtone is this according to Myrtle.[[invoked]]

* JustForFun/XMeetsY: Creator/DavidLynch meets ''ComicBook/GhostWorld.''

* LiveJournal: Several characters have them, and entries from Audrey and Mara's are each shown in later volumes.

* ShoutOut: More than could possibly be listed here. There's all the posters of real-life bands, movies and TV shows littering the girls' rooms, the names of various Wet Moon businesses ([[EdgarAllanPoe House of Usher]], [[Film/BigTroubleInLittleChina Lo Pan's]], [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everyday_Is_Halloween Everyday Is Halloween]]), the time when Trilby forced Martin to watch Franchise/TheChroniclesOfRiddick films, or when Trilby and Cleo went to a convention cosplaying as Felicia and Morrigan from ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}''.

It's better than it probably sounds, largely due to the author writing a slow-burn plot with natural situations coupled with a [[DavidLynch David Lynchian]] atmosphere. Moreover, while most of the multiracial cast belongs to the [[{{Goth}} goth]]/[[{{Punk}} punk]]/[[{{Emo}} emo]]/scenester subculture (with some characters also gay or bisexual), none of them are portrayed as stereotypically as they are in other media. This even extends to the author's particular art style, which readily acknowledges the varied body types different kinds of women inherit or grow into.

* XMeetsY: Creator/DavidLynch meets ''ComicBook/GhostWorld''.

** And now it seems [[spoiler: Mara is pulling Cleo away from Myrtle.]]

** Special consideration goes to Fern, who is repeatedly shown walking naked into the swamps in the dead of night. There's also the fact that she has an entire mansion all to herself, and keeps creepy stone busts in one of the rooms.
** Natalie lampshades this against her roommate Malady, claiming that she acts weirder and weirder to seem cool.

* SuperHero: Unknown, who's really just some chick who dresses up and stops muggers[[spoiler: and serial killers.]]

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Trilby openly warns Martin about Cleo, going so far as to claim the present Cleo to be the "Anti-Cleo" to how she was in High School.

* ButchLesbian: Beth, one of the females in interested in Audrey.

* CatFight: Subverted. When Kinzoku catches Beth having lunch with Audrey, what ensues is more of a Cat Brawl.

* FanDisservice: An argument can be made towards the deformed Fern in this regard.
* {{Fanservice}}: Trilby doesn't mind walking around topless, anymore than the author minds drawing her girls in sexy poses.

* BiTheWay: Lampshaded with Cleo, who hooks up with females but doesn't accept that she's a lesbian. It's a point of contention with her when her friends and family tell her to "pick a side."
