History Webcomic / DarylAndSusie

* HalloweenEpisode - 'Halloween: Regurgitation', a very loose parody of ArkhamAsylumASeriousHouseOnSeriousEarth.

The comic generally updates weekly, with 'episodes' round about five pages or more. It can be read at http://www.drunkduck.com/Daryl_and_Susie/

* CaptainErsatz - Quite a few of these, especially in Kirkalan. Coover is pretty similar to [[Literature/InheritanceCycle Eragon]] and [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]], with his companion wizard Gangrene being obviously based on [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gandalf]]. Other stories feature ersatz versions of [[{{Batman}} the Joker and other Gotham villains]] and, of all characters, [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Dr Doofenshmirtz and Perry the Platypus]].

** The Mayor is also loosely based on the Mayor from BuffyTheVampireSlayer.
