''[[http://nopinkponies.keenspot.com/ No Pink Ponies]]'' is a serial slice-of-life webcomic based around Jess, her friends, and her new comic book store. Jess, the main character, is a clumsy comic book nerd who grew up with very good looks. Her nerd tendencies have a habit of overriding her confidence in her image, however. So much so that she started her own comic book store just to lure a cute guy into talking to her. This actually manages to work, sort of.

Despite their importance to the plot, none of the male characters has a name, whereas all the female characters are named. WordOfGod says their names will probably never be given since the comic is based on the female perspective of Nerd Fandom.
