History Manhua / OldMasterQ

* EatTheDog: This is the fate for Master Q's dog in [[https://www.oldmasterq.com/comics/1436/ strip #1436]], as [[DisproportionateRetribution Master Q's retaliation method of choice to his dog for laughing at his failures to procure any wild games he targets]].

** Applied without texts in [[https://www.oldmasterq.com/comics/2316/ strip #2316]]. Miss Chan points to some heart-shaped declarations of love marks on a tree she and Master Q are passing by on their date, and so Master Q decides to do the same... except the heart shape he carves is the anatomically correct version.

* SymbolSwearing: This is how profanity is presented in the strips. Case in point is [[http://www.oldmasterq.com/comics/602/ this strip]], where Master Q cusses at a man with "X@[star symbol]#*", FlippingTheBird for good measure, for wolf-whistling at a girl he's with at the time.

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: This happens to Master Q in [[https://www.oldmasterq.com/comics/2510/ strip #2510]] when he tries archery but never manages to even hit the stationary target post. It ends with him breaking the bow in anger and leaving in a huff.

* CantYouReadTheSign: Some strips involve someone doing whatever is noted as inadvisable by the nearby sign, such as Master Q taking a peek at a nude beach through the fence despite the nearby sign reading "MEMBERS ONLY" in [[https://www.oldmasterq.com/comics/2149/ strip #2149]].

** Master Q feeds a tiger with a long chain of sausage links in [[[[https://www.oldmasterq.com/comics/2506/ strip #2506]], with himself eating said sausage links from the opposite end from the tiger. They reach the point of a SpaghettiKiss... and then ''the tiger devours Master Q''.

* SpaghettiKiss: A non-romantic example of this takes place in [[https://www.oldmasterq.com/comics/2506/ strip #2506]], where Master Q shares a series of long sausages with a tiger by eating from the opposite ends and working their way towards the center... and it concludes on a dark note with ''the tiger devouring Master Q''.

* GhostShip: Master Q encounters one in [[https://www.oldmasterq.com/comics/2073/ strip #2073]], with the ship in question being none other than [[UsefulNotes/RMSTitanic the Titanic itself]] -- not surprisingly, Master Q decides to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere get the Hell away from it the moment he realizes the identity of the ship]]. For bonus point, the strip itself is actually titled "Ghost Ship".

** Big Potato is known for his excessively loud snoring. One panel has Potato taking an afternoon nap and snoring to the point of disturbing Master Q, who's trying to read the newspaper. Master Q then puts a plaster over Potato's mouth, only for Potato to snort instead. Cue Master Q pinching a plastic cloth-peg over Potato's nose, and Potato then starting to chime through his ears.

* LoudSleeperGag: Big Potato is known for his excessively loud snoring. One panel has Potato taking an afternoon nap and snoring to the point of disturbing Master Q, who's trying to read the newspaper. Master Q then puts a plaster over Potato's mouth, only for Potato to snort instead. Cue Master Q pinching a plastic cloth-peg over Potato's nose, and Potato then starting to chime through his ears.

* {{Mummy}}: In one strip, Master Q is depicted as an archeologist excavating an Egyptian tomb. Opening a sarcophagus, Master Q retrieves a scroll on a mummy, commenting, "Hmm, I can't read hieroglyphs..." cue the mummy suddenly sitting up, grabbing the scroll, and replying, "Well, I ''do''!"

* LowClearance: In [[https://www.oldmasterq.com/comics/186/ strip #186]], Big Potato gets knocked off the balance bicycle he's riding when he crosses paths with a wooden plank Master Q and Mr. Chin happen to hoist on their shoulder at the time.

* SuspenderSnag: One short plays this for Black Comedy, where Master Q, after an argument with his girlfriend, tried killing himself by jumping off a cliff, only for his suspenders to be snagged by a branch midway where he ends up dangling in mid-air in a comical fashion.

* DisasterDominoes: In [[https://www.oldmasterq.com/comics/2488/ strip #2488]], Big Potato trips over the uneven ground, falls forward, and collides with (in sequential order) Old Master Q, Mr. Chin, and finally Mr. Chiu, who walk in the AllInARow formation in front of him, with the box Mr. Chin hoists over his head hitting Mr. Chiu for good measure.

** In [[https://www.oldmasterq.com/comics/1957/ strip #1957]], where Master Q claims to Big Potato that he's making a cake and invites the latter to share some, and Big Potato obliges... only to end up inside Master Q's bathroom, holding his nose due to the foul odor.
