%% * HeroesWantRedHeads: Guinevere!

** In the strip's version of the sequence where Arthur hunts a white hart, has his horse die under him, gets another horse from a yeoman, has ''that'' horse stolen by King Pellinore, and then meets a prophetic young boy [[spoiler: who turns out to be Merlin]], the yeoman and the prophet are the same person, because it seemed unlikely that there ''just happened'' to be a yeoman with a fresh horse right where Arthur's died (and if the yeoman had been part of the hunting party and kept up with him, wouldn't ''his'' horse have died too?)

* CloningBlues: The False Guenevere in the space arc.

** Hercules is Franchise/{{Superman}} (with Iolaus as Jimmy Olsen, Megara as Lois), the heroes of Troy are the cast of ''Series/{{MASH}}'', etc.

* ReusedCharacterDesign: Several character designs are recycled from Gadzikowski's earlier fanfiction comics. Arthur is [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Kirk]] with a beard and without a toupee, Lancelot is Spock as a human, and Guinevere's father is [=McCoy=]. Merlin is [[Series/DoctorWho the First Doctor]] with a WizardBeard. Galahad is [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Superman]]. The irreverent Sir Dinadan is based on [[Series/{{Mash}} Hawkeye Pierce]].

** In [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/2890.htm one of Arthur's press conferences]], three unseen journalists are named [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Clark]], [[{{Franchise/SpiderMan}} Peter]], and [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles April]]. And the account of his first meeting with Clark is a CallBack to the Webcomic Hurricane Relief Telethon, where he is indeed [[http://webcomictelethon.com/d/1003.html that Clark]].

** Galahad looks like Franchise/{{Superman}}. Hercules ''is'' Superman. (Merlin's time-travel friends are particularly prone to this.)

* HowIWroteThisArticleArticle: A semi-recurring theme in one arc is that Arthur hates "can't-think-of-a-joke jokes", but not as much as he hates failing to update his webcomic. Likewise in the space arc, Tristram thinks writing a song about being unable to write a song is "only funny once".

* AdaptationalHeroism: While baseline Mordred is exactly the same as he is in the myths, space Mordred has been able to channel his ambitions more productively, due to his different upbringing (raised unaware of his parentage and getting to know Arthur as an ''Excalibur'' crewman, rather than raised to hate Arthur and know it's his destiny to replace him). He's still fairly ruthless and pragmatic, but in the name of ''supporting'' his father's reign. Contemporary Mordred is only really seen as a kid, but seems to be closer to space Mordred, because he just grew up with Arthur as his dad.

* ParodyMagicSpell: The Language of Magic is English written with Greek letters. If you go to the trouble of translating them, the spells are famous quotes, often from children's literature (the chant to get more power for the Excalibur's engines is "I know I can, I know I can...")

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Morgause in the modern arc has elements of this trope (though downplayed; she may cut corners, but only because of her duty to stockholders who depend on investments for retirement, and she's not proud of it). Arthur himself is an inversion (somewhat {{anvilicious}}ly so).

* CoolOldGuy: Merlin in any incarnation but primarily the modern day arc, where he's a substitute teacher who owns a comic book store, has an eidetic knowledge for his favorite TV shows, used to be a hippie, agrees to watch watch Ector's sons on a moment's notice when he's called to active duty, and takes in the orphaned child of some old friends. A close second is the space arc Merlin, who's basically [[Series/DoctorWho the Doctor]].

''[[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/ Arthur, King of Time and Space]]'' is a humour {{webcomic}} by Paul Gadzikowski. It retells the story of Myth/KingArthur, in real time (with occasional timeskips) in several time periods. It ran from 2004 to 2014.

** More obviously, Bedivere suddenly stopped being female in the space and modern arcs, in order to have a male gay couple. (This has since been further retconned; Bedivere's male, but the earlier strips in which he [[{{Transgender}} appeared female]] are still canon.)

* BaitAndSwitch: [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/0437.htm The strip for July 31 2005]] spends five panels very obviously setting up the punchline to a well-known hoary old joke -- and then turns out to actually be a ''different'' well-known hoary old joke.

* TheWestern: The Western arc

* ParodyMagicSpell: The Language of Magic is English written with Greek letters. If you go to the trouble of translating them, the spells are famous quotes, often from children's literature (the chant to get more power for the Excalibur's engines is "I know I can, I know I can...")

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: After years of dropping hints, Morgan is completely incredulous that Arthur ''still'' doesn't know [[YourCheatingHeart what Lancelot and Guinevere are up to]]. Eventually she realizes that he knew all along, and why he's never done anything about it, and this facilitates her HeelFaceTurn.

*** In the ''Film/LordOfTheRings'' parody arc, the carving in the Mines of Moria say "[[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/0150.htm Beware the drums of uuuh!]]". The signature scene from the film ensues.
