''Gary the Alchemist'' is a SliceOfLife webcomic started in 2009 by Andrew "Xiam" Jenkins, featuring an [[CharacterTitle alchemist named Gary]], a high school student with a bizarre interest in the discredited protoscience of alchemy.
Despite that the comic is set what may as well be the real world, Gary has had some success in his efforts, having produced a homunculus (before the comic picks up) and a golem a year or so in.

!!This comic provides examples of:
* AlchemyIsMagic: Played with a lot. Gary treats it as a science, and he's managed to even ''create life'' with it, but no one else takes it seriously, [[spoiler:except perhaps Edy]].
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Gary's feelings for Lizzie were never returned.
** Edy's major problem after her introduction [[spoiler:until Gary lets Lizzie go]].
* [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny Attention Deficit-- Hey, Sugar!]]: The homunculus is easily distracted by the thought of anything sweet.
* BourgeoisBohemian / HippieParents: Edy's parents are definitely a product of the '60s and '70s.
* CharacterDevelopment: Most noticeable with Gary, who used to be totally isolated and is now looking forward to spending vacation time with his friends.
** Also seen some with the homunculus, who seems to be less interested in fire than he began.
* CompanionCube: The Mandrake, or so the [[{{Fanon}} fans]] would have you believe.
* DemotedToExtra: A result of CharacterDevelopment, Dan has begun hanging out with a different group of friends but remains on good terms with Gary.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: Edy's real name is Edith.
* HighSchool: The setting of the majority of the comic. It's currently unknown if Xiam will continue the series after Gary's graduation.
** HighSchoolDance: It was bound to happen.
* LimitedWardrobe: Averted, as all the character seem to have a full closet of clothing. Cappy comes closest, but only his hat and jacket are consistent.
** According to WordOfGod, Gary only has seven shirts, one for each day of the week.
* MagicVersusScience: Played with almost as much as AlchemyIsMagic, above.
* NoNameGiven: The homunculus doesn't seem to even ''have'' a name, though fan suggestions abound.
** The golem also lacks a name.
** The mandrake is nameless, as well. [[JustifiedTrope Understandable]], as it's a plant root.
** We've finally learned Gary's last name: [[spoiler:it's Dee]].
* NoSocialSkills: Gary starts out this way, but over the course of the comic, and with a lot of help from Edy, he grows out of it.
* SliceOfLife: This is the format of the comic.
* TrueCompanions: [[CloudCuckoolander Tee]], Cappy, and Jean.
* TVTropesWillRuinYourLife: Xiam has put a lot of references and links to this very wiki into his comic and comments.
* TheVoiceless: The golem cannot speak, being made of clay.
* VisitByDivorcedDad: Inverted. Gary visits him at one point.
* WebcomicTime: Largely averted. Weekly stories often take place on the same day (at three updates a week), but overall the comic follows real time, with Gary actually vacationing in the summer and a little over the winter.
** NewYearHasCome: Repeatedly.
