History Webcomic / CheshireCrossing

* ShoutOut: [[PlanetOfTheApes "Get your hands off me, you damn dirty human!"]]
** Mary Poppins, to the Wicked Witch about Tinker Bell: "[[{{Scarface}} Say hello to my little friend!]]"

* DefeatMeansFriendship: Jack conscripting the Winkies, and later on Hook's crew.

* SkyPirates: Hook and Crew.

[[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover Crossover]] [[NotableFantasyWebcomics fantasy webcomic]] in which [[Literature/AliceInWonderland Alice Liddell]], [[PeterPan Wendy Darling]] and [[Film/TheWizardOfOz Dorothy Gale]] are brought to an ExtranormalInstitute-style BoardingSchool run by [[BadassNormal Ernest]] [[HistoricalDomainCharacter Rutherford]], so they can be taught to master their [[PubertySuperpower latent superpowers]] by Film/MaryPoppins. Action and adventure ensue.

Hasn't updated [[OrphanedSeries in a looong time]], and is unlikely to be revived, but the first four issues can be found [[http://www.cheshirecrossing.net here]]. They form a pretty self-contained story arc.

* OrphanedSeries: The comic stopped in 2008 with no word on what happened to its creator.

* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Hook's namesake. He uses it both for {{Sword Fight}}ing and [[MundaneUtility cutting his steak]]...

* CrossoverShip: InUniverse;

* DeadpanSnarker: The Cheshire Cat; once, when he appears to give Wendy a hand, Wendy says something along the lines of "Holy crap, a talking cat," at which point the cat makes a sarcastic remark about her priorities.

** The Witch inexplicably knocking a few rocks out of the ceiling above Mary Poppins... [[http://www.cheshirecrossing.net/page.php?issue=2&pagenum=20 in order to get her to move the umbrella]] she was using to shield against direct attacks.

---> [[spoiler:Peter]]: I've got all these weird feelings! What should I do?
---> Alice: I'm sure you'll get it all [[ADateWithRosiePalms in hand]] eventually.

* KnifeNut: Wendy Darling is apparently very attached to her throwing knives, but, while she fences all over the place, she [[InformedAbility has yet to throw a single knife]].
** Not quite true. In the first issue, she's seen practicing with them as the girls get settled. It's true she's yet to use them in combat, though.
* LimitedWardrobe: Most of the characters are limited to their MemeticOutfir, without which [[OnlySixFaces it would be near-impossible to tell them apart.]]

* MagicAIsMagicA: Evidently magic works differently depending on where you are-in Oz, Mary Poppins is melted with a splash of water, which is apparently just what happens to magic users who get wet in Oz.

* MagicMirror: Subverted—it turns out Alice has the power to walk through any mirror or reflective surface.

* NiceHat: Hook—the Mad Hatter thinks so when he [[AndYourRewardIsClothes loots]] it.

-->'''[[spoiler:Peter Pan]]:''' Say... Your body's got a real nice shape. You know that? And I ''especially'' like your chest. Wait a minute! Why is your chest so interesting all of a sudden?

* AdaptationDyeJob: Wendy Darling and Tink switch hair colors, presumably to provide some [[ColourCodedForYourConvenience colour-coding]] to distinguish the main trio, as Dorothy's is brunette and Alice's black.

* BrokenBird: Alice

** Just after [[spoiler:Peter Pan]] finds reason to like girls, he starts hitting on Alice. To get him to concentrate on the task at hand, Alice tells him she'll see to his physical needs later. She's got other plans in mind[[hottip:*:which involve shrinking him to Tinker Bell's size]], but those few lines are sure to be breeding [[PlotBunny plot bunnies]] as we speak.

* OrphanedSeries: The comic hasn't updated in two years, with no information from the author in that time. See also ''Webcomic/CaseyAndAndy'', which was orphaned in favour of ''CC''...

* PortalPicture

** Alice [[AudibleSharpness snicker-snack]]ing the fairy-ball with the [[LewisCarroll Vorpal Sword]].

* ThreeFacesOfEve

* AdaptationDyeJob: Wendy Darling and Tink switch hair colors.

* ExactlyWhatIAimedAt: Alice [[AudibleSharpness snicker-snack]]ing the fairy-ball with the [[LewisCarroll Vorpal Sword]].

* IBelieveICanFly: Everyone seems to work out some way of managing it—[[ParasolParachute umbrella]], [[ContagiousPowers ruby slippers]], [[AppliedPhlebotinum fairy dust]] or just [[HandWave plain]] {{magic}}.

* KillItWithWater: The Wicked Witch isn't personally vulnerable to water; rather, it has the same effect on any witch who happens to be in Oz [[http://www.cheshirecrossing.net/page.php?issue=2&pagenum=22 —unfortunately no-one warned Mary Poppins]].

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: The Wicked Witch of the West.

The comic also features [[Film/TheWizardOfOz the Wicked Witch of the West]], [[PeterPan Peter Pan, Captain Hook and Tinker Bell]], [[Literature/AliceInWonderland the Knave of Hearts and the Mad Hatter]] and [[GulliversTravels Lemuel Gulliver]].

* FairyCompanion: Tinkerbell.

** Mary Poppins, to the Wicked Witch about Tinkerbell: "[[{{Scarface}} Say hello to my little friend!]]"

* TheUnintelligible: Tinkerbell speaks in jingles, of all things. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] at one point by Wendy saying, "Slow down, I can't understand a word you're saying!"

* LostInImitation: The comic's interpretation of Oz is clearly based entirely on [[Film/TheWizardOfOz the film version]].

** Just after [[spoiler:Peter Pan]] finds reason to like girls, he starts hitting on Alice. To get him to concentrate on the task at hand, Alice tells him she'll see to his physical needs later. She's got other plans in mind[[hottip:*:which involve [[spoiler:shrinking him to Tinkerbell's size]], much to her delight]], but those few lines are sure to be breeding [[PlotBunny plot bunnies]] as we speak.
