"[[http://www.hellocleveland.biz/ "Hello, Cleveland!"]] is a webcomic created by Charles Bogle. Originally intended to simply be titled ''NEWT'', the strip centers on Everett Bogle and his titular Newt, who may or may not be an imaginary construct of Everett's mind. Recurring characters include Everett's parents, his brother Riley, a classmate named Lisa, a family of unseen beings living in the Bogle mailbox, and a nameless bird. While mostly staying within the confines of the world of the strip, Bogle does occasionally like to poke fun at the medium in general.

* RecursiveReality: During the run of strips mentioned in the FrameBreak entry above.



* TakeThat: One strip, featuring an ''APPROVED'' stamp supposedly giving the thumbs-up to an unusual euphemism, gets one in on the comics industry in general.
** Also, Everett whips up a campaign poster for Lisa, a classmate with a crush on him and whom he despises, in her bid to win a class office. It reads "Vote for me or I'll hold my breath!"

!!This comic provides examples of:
* AlbertEinstein: Crops up on occasion.
* BlahBlahBlah
* [[ABoyAndHisX A Boy And His Newt]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Newt does this. "Hey, Mr. Cartoonist!"
* FrameBreak: Played insanely straight in one sequence of strips in which the character Newt snaps the panel dividers out, and the characters end up seeing and interacting with multiple versions of themselves.
* FullNameUltimatum: '''EVERETT GERARD BOGLE!!'''
* HypocriticalHumor: Everett lays out a declaration of principles instead of a book report, but then offers an alternate set for those who were dissatisfied with his first one.
* ImaginaryFriend: Newt, possibly. There's evidence both for and against this in the strip.
* LiteralMinded: "When I said take the bus, I didn't mean '''take''' the bus!"
* MouseWorld: The heard-but-not-seen denizens of the Bogle mailbox. However, the humans do occasionally interact with them (though we still don't get to see them).
* NoNameGiven: Played straight with the bird who keeps cropping up, and with Everett's mother's first name. Averted with Everett's last name.
* NoodleIncident: Played with in one strip involving the Austrian Consulate.
* NotSoImaginaryFriend: See ImaginaryFriend above.
* TheOtherDarrin: Bogle changed Everett's father's appearance in October 2010. [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Newt noticed the difference]], to which Everett said, "[[LampshadeHanging It's a comic strip. Just go with it]]!"
* PaintingTheFourthWall: Bogle loves doing this, especially when using Newt as the agent for it.
* RetCon: See TheOtherDarrin above.
* RougeAnglesOfSatin: "Iceburgs".
** One strip used "Ola" for "Hola".
* RunningGag: Everett's brother, Riley, is usually shown sitting in a bucket.
* SelfDeprecation: In an instance where Everett and Newt are examining the background filler to the panel, Everett remarks that "most of the trendier strips employ such devices", to which Newt wonders aloud, "Then why is it in '''our''' strip?"
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Everett drops this sometimes.
* TakeThat: One strip, featuring an ''APPROVED'' stamp supposedly giving the thumbs-up to an unusual euphemism, gets one in on the comics industry in general.
** Also, Everett whips up a campaign poster for Lisa, a classmate with a crush on him and whom he despises, in her bid to win a class office. It reads "Vote for me or I'll hold my breath!"
* UnnamedParent: Everett's mother. Possibly the father, depending upon whether or not Bogle is writing himself in as the father.
* UnsoundEffect: Ker-'''SNOT'''
* TheVoiceless: Riley. The bird used to be one, but lately seems to have found a voice.
