History Webcomic / ArthurKingOfTimeAndSpace

* ArtEvolution: In 2012, after considering using the triangle format permenantly, Paul [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/2924.htm developed a lineless version of the regular art style]].

* HeroesWantRedHeads: Guinevere!

* 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 irreverend Sir Dinadan is based on [[Series/{{Mash}} Hawkeye Pierce]].

** Arthur himself, depending on how dead you consider Arthur to be in the myths. In the Space Arc, he isn't even wounded when the Ladies of Avalon retrieve him from the Stag King planetoid (but probably can't return to British Space, hence his journey to Avalon). And, again in ''Three Faces'', it's revealed that the conteporary equivalent is [[spoiler: [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/3faces/bbny.htm Arthur opening Avalon Links Golf Course]]]].

* ThemedParty: Arthur's school has a prom with a "My Only Sunshine" theme, and Guenivere's has a prom with a "Fish Under The Sea" theme. This means that the vennues are in the characters' [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience color-coding]] (yellow and blue, respectively), and their phone screens are showing the other's color when [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/0729.htm they dance together]].

* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Modern!Guenevere, in a rare "realistic display of nudism" and not "[[NakedPeopleAreFunny heh, nekkid girl]]" example. She knows about the nudity taboo but genuinely doesn't share it. In an early strip she tries to explain this to modern!Arthur in matter of fact terms, but [[ThereAreNoGirlsOnTheInternet he doesn't believe her]] -- leading the "camera" to pan over to her computer to show that yes, [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/0018.htm she was actually using the computer in the nude.]]

** In [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/2808.htm one strip]] Space!Arthur asks Merlin if there's any other groups of people going through the whole "same adventures in different time periods" thing. Behind them [[Series/{{Sherlock}} Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock]] is demonstrating the SherlockScan to [[Series/TheReturnOfSherlockHolmes Edward Hardwicke's Watson]].

** Another reference to Helen Narbon is Sir Nabon de Noir, who [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/1528.htm looks like Male!Helen]], and whose crest is a heart.

* ThereAreNoGirlsOnTheInternet: Everyone, including the readers, assumed modern!Tristram was male.
** This had less to do with this trope and more to do with some of the conversations they had about a girl (modern!Isolde); Tristram's chivalrous talk led the others to think "male" instead of "lesbian".

** Arthur himself, depending on how dead you consider Arthur to be in the myths. In the Space Arc, he isn't even wounded when the Ladies of Avalon retrieve him from the Stag King planetoid (but probably can't return to British Space, hence his journey to Avalon). And, again in ''Three Faces'', it's revealed that the conteporary equivalent is [[spoiler: [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/3faces/index.html Arthur opening Avalon Links Golf Course]]]].

* ReusedCharacterDesign: Several character designs are recycled from Gadzikowski's earlier fanfiction comics. Arthur is [[Series/StarTrek 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 irreverend Sir Dinadan is based on [[Series/{{Mash}} Hawkeye Pierce]].

* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the baseline arc, the False Guenevere dies of her IncurableCoughOfDeath, just as she does in the sources. In the space arc, they HumanPopsicle her and find a cure many years later. Her contemporary counterpart, Fasha had a scene where she said everything was going dark, and then didn't appear again, but ''Webcomic/TheHeroOfThreeFaces'' later revealed that [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/3faces/bbhr.htm her condition just put her in a wheelchair]].

The main storyline in all three main settings is the LoveTriangle between Arthur, Guenevere and Lancelot. Secondary arcs include the "[[TheWestern Western]]" arc (Arthur as sheriff), the "''Series/{{Mash}}''" arc (Arthur as Hawkeye Pierce), the [[TheParody movie parody]] arc (Arthur as various film characters) and others.

** 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.

** 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!]]", with a [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail familiar-sounding discussion]] about how that could have happened.

** And many to ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'':
*** In the ''Lord of the Rings'' parody arc, the "drums in the deep" message in Moria ends with "aaaaaughh". The signature scene from the film ensues.
*** After getting a projectile launched at him from behind enemy lines, Arthur notes aloud that for some reason he was expecting a cow.
*** In the Western arc Morgan creates a steampunk giant rabbit robot.
*** Arthur gets very uncomfortable over knights who say "knee" [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/2885.htm here]]
*** He's not comfortable with [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/3163.htm shrubberies]], either.

** 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!", with a [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail familiar-sounding discussion]] about how that could have happened.

** 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 [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} appeared female]] are still canon.)

*** And another one [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/3163.htm here]].

** Sir Segwarides is [[ThePrincessBride Inigo Montoya]]. This is rather fitting if you know his role in the mythos. [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/1506.htm This strip]] sums it up succinctly.

** And many to ''MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'':

--> '''Morgan''': He just... loves them that much. I wonder what that's like.
