History Webcomic / NineteenSeventySevenTheComic

* DoesNotLikeShoes: The principal characters, especially the two girls, are almost always depicted barefoot. WordOfGod is that this is [[AuthorAppeal no accident]].

* AllDrummersAreAnimals: Robyn, when she gets either mad or horny.

* The {{Tomboy}}: Robyn, an Irish-American girl who learned to fight through having six brothers and through being pugnacious by nature.

* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Lorraine.

* SexShifter: Whenever Bud is so overcome with rage that he becomes Budette.

* The {{Familiar}}: The Mystic Frog appears to be linked to Bud, if only by mutual loathing.

!! Tropes inexpertly played, by the creators of the critically declaimed sixth worst album of the 1970's, include:

* LazilyGenderFlippedName: Provoked by people, Bud literally becomes female and adopts the name "Budette".

* MsFanservice: Take your pick. "Troubles", Robyn, Rhoda/Brenda, Lily, her mother Rose, ''Jeff'''s mother, even Bud as Budette... the strip has frequent semi or full nudity and sexual scenes, which while not explicit, make it decidedly NSFW. The author's Patreon page (pay to view) apparently has an even more NSFW version with more nudity and blatant sexuality.

* NobodyLovesTheBassist: Bud plays bass. And rarely gets the girl, or even attention. This is also Byron's wry complaint about playing bass. ''Nobody notices''.

* TeamMom: Robyn is often forced into this role, being oldest of the four.
* The {{Tomboy}}: Robyn, an Irish-American girl who learnt to fight through having six brothers and through being pugnacious by nature.

* WrenchWench: Robyn, a gifted and innnovative auto mechanic.

* ICallHimMisterHappy: Bud. And yes, it is "Mr. Happy". Although he becomes Mr Unhappy when subjected to GroinAttack.

* NippledAndDimed: Take a look at the page image. Robyn and Troubles invariably have erect nipples.

* The {{Familiar}}: the Mystic Frog appears to be linked to Bud, if only by mutual loathing.

* ICallHimMisterHappy: Bud. although he becomes Mr Unhappy when subjected to GroinAttack.

* ShoutOut: Every episode is titled after a line from a sometimes obscure seventies' rock or pop song. Some are very subtle and clever allusions.
* The name of the band is a Shout Out or perhaps {{Homage}} to ''Film/Plan9FromOuterSpace'', described by many as [[SoBadItsGood one of the worst movies ever]].
