Under construction
to:
It all started in 2009, when in my senior year at ŠPUR I stumbled upon an issue of MAD Magazine ([[https://www.madcoversite.com/mad501.html issue #501 to be exact]]) and it changed my life forever. Dissatisfied with my years at ŠPUR, I decided to project my dissatisfaction with ŠPUR onto a comic book inspired by MAD. Thus ŠPUR Comics came to life, which I've been doing on-again off-again to this day (yes, despite the fact I graduated, I still make fun of my school, you would too if you were me).
The comic has two sections:
* A story following a linear plot; supernatural happenings in ŠPUR and how the students deal with them (happenings such as killer professors, paintings come to life, students with freaky powers, etc.)
* MAD inspired articles:
** TV show, movie and even classical literature parodies in the style of MAD's TV show and movie satires.
** Articles such as "What if Music/LadyGaga was a student of ŠPUR?", "Overheard in ŠPUR's teacher lounge", "What if Music/TaylorSwift was a student of ŠPUR?", "[[https://www.madcoversite.com/features-nasty_file.html The ŠPUR nasty file]]" and so on.
[[WMG:If you're still interested in this hot garbage, here are the tropes:]]
* FatGirl: One student has a secret superhero idnetity a la ComicBook/CatWoman... Fatwoman.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: One story involves a student who's TheIngenue, and whose secret slutty side becomes its own person.
* ParodyName: Students and faculty have their names altered to childish versions. The same also goes for the characters in the TV/movie/literature parodies. F'rinstance:
** The ''Literature/TheCatcherInTheRye'' parody has "Molden Character", "Lame Gala-girl" Molden's sister "Feeble"...
** The ''Series/FamilyMatters'' parody has the Slow-wins and Stevia Urkill.
* PrehensileHair: A recurring character is a student who has a beard whose hairs move like tentacles.
* RummageSaleReject: As one would expect from an art school, some of its students have interesting ways of dressing. One line in the article "What if Music/LadyGaga was a student of ŠPUR?" says: "At the end of the day, not even her craziest outfit could match the unique clothing style of ŠPUR's students".
* SelfDeprecation: I deliver cheap shots to my former colleagues and teachers, as well as myself. F'rinstance, from ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' parody:
-->'''Dorothy:''' You know, you're the second person I know who has straw for brains!
-->'''Scarecrow:''' Really, who's the first?
-->'''Dorothy:''' Our author, who else?
* SuckySchool: Both in-universe and the actual school. One ad-parody says "Subscribe to ŠPUR Comics! Artists and painters agree; we need the money more than the Sports School!".
* JustForFun/XMeetsY: MAD Magazine meets some random art school in a country you haven't heard of until now. Then there's also:

** ''[[Series/{{Degrassi}} ŠPURgrassi]]''
** ''Sculptors [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry no naku koro ni]]''
** ''Indus-Series/{{Glee}}- al Design''
