History Webcomic / SequentialArt

* PantyShot: [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=447 It doesn't matter what the author says]]
** [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=630 Here too.]] That's what you get when you try a DynamicEntry in a ''rather short'' dress.

''[[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php Sequential Art]]'' [[labelnote:Before you click...]] The author produces a lot of pornographic works, so the site is NSFW.[[/labelnote]] is a webcomic drawn by Phillip M. Jackson (a.k.a. Jolly Jack) about a group of unlikely housemates. Art is a chronically frustrated graphic designer (and the only human living in the house); Kat, a cat girl, is a fun-loving photographer; Pip, a penguin, is a stereotypical video-game geek who makes a living buying and selling items online, and Scarlet is a naïve and energetic squirrel girl whose erratic behaviour and short attention span mask her true intellect. Over time the household is expanded with Kat's adoption of a non-anthropomorphic platypus named Leonard, a mysterious infestation of Denizens, and the rescue of Scarlet's sisters(?) Amber, Jade and Violet.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Miss Strinpit is an extremely unpleasant person, capable of antagonizing anyone she meets, not just her students. She’s so despised that upon her demise due to heart attack, the students merrily sing “Ding-Dong, the witch is dead”. [[PreMortemOneLiner Kat summarizes her faults]] (which leads to Strinpits’ fatal heart attack):
--> '''Strinpit:''' "You’re a short, bad tempered, condescending, evil, unfair and hateful '''Bully'''!"

* AIIsACrapshoot: Oz

* AllMenArePerverts: Pip certainly is. Art nine times out of ten is more of an AccidentalPervert.

--> "Strinpit: You’re a short, bad tempered, condescending, evil, unfair and hateful '''Bully'''!"

** At first, Scarlet is naked, only being covered by [[SceneryCensor objects and such in the panel. When she finally gets a (singular) shirt, she never changes it. Lampshaded in [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=102 strip 102]] when Art suggests she wash it, so she does -- without taking it off. Pip immediately senses the lewdness, but Art looks away in annoyance.

* LeetLingo: [[https://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=444 Scarlet's lab number is #5C4RL37]], whiler her sisters also have the same naming convention; #4M83R (Amber), J4D3 (Jade) and V10L37 (Violet)

** The Martian Invasion story arc has [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=711 one to]] Series/DoctorWho. The Eldak are basically expies of the Daleks, their very name is an anagram of the infamous pepper-pots and they use the Dalek's CatchPhrase, "Exterminate!". Then [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=712 another]] to StarWars when Pip finds some TIE Interceptors to [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=719 play with]]. And it starts off with one to ''Literature/WarOfTheWorlds'' when the aliens land on [[https://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=696 Horsell Common]].

* RealityEnsues:
** The Think Tank sends one of the girls to [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=817 field-market Candy-Cane 2.0]]... [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything which looks like]] [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=816 this]].
** Kat meets her old teacher for the first time in twenty years. The teacher tries to exert her authority over her old student like she did when she was younger. Kat however is now an adult, graduated years ago and is almost double her teacher's height. When Ms Strinpit tries to discipline Kat, Kat overpowers the older woman and makes it clear she has 'no' authority over her as an adult.
** After Kat is turned into a [[spoiler: Dragon]] with her mind left unchanged, she finds she is unable to walk, as a normally bipedal creature can't just adapt to quadrupedal movement in an instant. The other [[spoiler: Dragon, Hilary]] however 'has' had their mind changed to be more animal like, and has no problem moving on four legs.
** When Kat tries to [[spoiler: breathe fire in her dragon form]] she has no idea how to.
** After seeing the [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020 Sonic movie]] a Kat and Art, while hyped up on nostalgia decide to run home as fast as they can trying to imitate the supersonic hedgehog like many children do. By the time they get home they are totally exhausted and gasping for breath since they aren't children anymore.
** Kat puts on a backpack device à la ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}''; the thing is massively heavy because it's a metal device full of gears and components relatively the same size as her torso.

''[[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php Sequential Art]]''[[note]]The author produces a lot of pornographic works, so the site is NSFW.[[/note]] is a webcomic drawn by Phillip M. Jackson (a.k.a. Jolly Jack) about a group of unlikely housemates. Art is a chronically frustrated graphic designer (and the only human living in the house); Kat, a cat girl, is a fun-loving photographer; Pip, a penguin, is a stereotypical video-game geek who makes a living buying and selling items online, and Scarlet is a naïve and energetic squirrel girl whose erratic behaviour and short attention span mask her true intellect.

* BracesOfOrthodonticOverkill: [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=35 Kat had these when she was in primary school.]]

* BlandNameProduct: [[Franchise/StarTrek Far Trek]], Website/{{EB|ay}}uy, Franchise/{{The M|atrix}}etrix, [[Franchise/TombRaider Temple Raider]], [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Realm of Lorcraft]], [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Nightlight]], and the list goes on.

* BracesOfOrthodonticOverkill: Kat had these when she was in primary school. [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=35 "Doesn't that ''oil-derrick'' in her mouth make her look ''adorable''?!"]]

* Catch22Dilemma: When Pip first starts playing ''[[BlandNameProduct Legends of Lorcraft]]'' in panel 136, he starts as a Level 1 serf, and needs armor and a sword to go on treasure quests. However, armor and swords cost money, which is earned by obtaining treasures. Pip lampshades his dilemma nicely.

* CatSmile: Kat gets one occasionally, particularly when feeling smug (or when brainwashed...)

* CerebusSyndrome: Downplayed. Several times the artist has taken a few months to do long arc stories involving the plucky characters combating dangerously powerful adversaries like the Denizens or Oz, only to have the conflict resolved and go right back to the "Gag-A-Day" format.
** Played with in the case of the 'retardium' arc: increasingly breathless revelations of a secret power struggle led the cast toward what seemed to be a moment of dramatic choice. Instead, Art realized both sides were idiots. So the gang went home and got back to the gag-a-day format.
* CheekCopy: [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=38 It's implied]] that Pip did this with Art's scanner

** Chekhov's [[spoiler: [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=639 Pez Dispenser]] ]] Gun!!

* ClothingDamage: It takes a little over [[https://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=447 350 strips]] for Scarlett's only shirt to disintegrate after being caught on a doorknob.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Scarlet

* ColourfulThemeNaming: The [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=470 Squirrel]] [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=674 Girls]]: Amber[[note]]the one with the slicked-back hair and the small [[IdiotHair ahoge]] in front[[/note]], Scarlet[[note]]the one with messy PeekABangs[[/note]], Jade[[note]]the one with the longest hair[[/note]] and Violet[[note]]the one with a similar hairstyle to Scarlet, but not ruffled[[/note]].
** Which were derived from their [[YouAreNumberSix Subject Numbers]] -- [[LeetLingo 4M83R, 5C4RL37, J4D3 and V10L37]].

* CovertPervert: [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=567 Kat]]
** This particular example is made extra funny by the fact that she wanted Art to draw a high fantasy version of her. Meaning she wanted to see how he was fantasizing about her.
*** Another instance in which she goads Art into drawing a sexy elf for his Christmas cards. [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=933 She gets REALLY into it.]]
** Scarlet and possibly her sisters seem to really enjoy the view [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=927 here]]
*** [[https://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=1078 He's still there]], cleaning, for three ''years'' InUniverse. And sporting the FrenchMaidOutfit for good measure.

* CrossOver: Leonard gets [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/SAS_0049_Small.jpg zapped]] into sibling DadaComics strip Spider and Scorpion during the Jack and the Denizens arc.

* TheCutie: Scarlet (and her sisters, by association).

* DeepImmersionGaming: Often when the gang plays games (digital or otherwise), the strips show them being dressed in whatever gears their characters would have been wearing. How they appear during the short arc of ''Realm of Lorcraft'' tabletop session is one example, including Scarlet who imagines herself as the "battle cube".

* DefrostingIceQueen: Hilary, as of [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=784 this strip]], which also marks the first time she's seen with a smile of contentment rather than out of pleasure at someone's suffering.
** [[spoiler: Subverted later. HARD]]

* DistractedByTheSexy: A drugged [[CatGirl Kat]] trying on a borrowed swimsuit that's way too big for her: it's threatening to fall off if she doesn't keep holding onto the garment. This distracts Art from thinking about how to escape [[spoiler:a RealityShow also serving as]] a prison [[spoiler:for those threatening to reveal a covert AlienInvasion]].
--> '''Art:''' Yeah. '''''That's''''' helping my focus.
** Very surprising, but it would seem even ''Scarlet'' can be [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=927 affected by this]], however it's more likely that she wants [[spoiler: the Handsome Prince]] to stay longer, and to do so she increases the chores which he must do before leaving.

* DrosteImage: Pip meets the AuthorAvatar hamster in the [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=193 strip]] itself. He gives Pip a copy of his latest strip (which at the time was that very strip.) Pip looks at the strip, which is about Pip looking at the strip, looking at the strip, looking at the strip and so on.

** [[Webcomic/PvP Skull]] serves as a Random Encounter in Realm of Lorcraft.

* ClothingDamage: It takes a little over [[https://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=447 350 strips]] for it to distintegrate after being caught on a doorknob.

* CompanionCube: The [[BlandNameProduct Buddy Brick]].

* SpeechBubblesInterruption

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Scarlet and her sisters fulfill this trope [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=202 to a T]].

* GeniusDitz: Scarlet and her sisters.

* LimitedWardrobe: Pip is by far the guiltiest, wearing his trademark sweater on the hottest day of the summer.
** At first, [[SceneryCensor Scarlet is naked]]. When she finally gets a (singular) shirt, she never changes it. Lampshaded in one comic when Art suggests she wash it, so she does -- without taking it off.

* PureIsNotGood: [[spoiler:The personification of Hilary's happiness]] loves everything due to its nature as a being of pure happiness. Art shows how bad this is by asking if it likes to set fires and it replies that fire is awesome.

* BlandNameProduct: [[Franchise/StarTrek Far Trek]], Website/{{EB|ay}}uy, Film/{{The M|atrix}}etrix, [[Franchise/TombRaider Temple Raider]], [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Realm of Lorcraft]], [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Nightlight]], and the list goes on.

** Comic 831 appears to start a story arc in vein of Film/TheyLive.

** Of course aside from a story arc in vein of Film/TheyLive, [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=833 this]].

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: After the faux Narnia arc and [[spoiler:the destruction of Hilary's house she ends up living with Art and Kat]] with the plan of having the denizens rebuild... the the COVID-19 pandemic happened and suddenly [[spoiler:Hilary is cooped up with the gang much longer than anyone anticipated, much to Kat's dismay.]]
* RealityEnsues: The Think Tank sends one of the girls to [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=817 field-market Candy-Cane 2.0]]... [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything which looks like]] [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=816 this]].

* IdeaBulb: Kat Vance has an incandescent bulb appear above her head in strip #649.

* AdventuresInComaLand: One story arc is based on ''Franchise/Fallout,'' and is revealed at the end to be the result of Pip suffering from asphyxiation from locking himself in a fridge because he'd been playing ''VideoGame/FallOut4'' to excess and thought a power outage was the end of the world.

''[[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php Sequential Art]]'' (The author produces a lot of pornographic works, so the site is NSFW.) is a webcomic drawn by Phillip M. Jackson (aka Jolly Jack) about a group of unlikely housemates. Art is a chronically frustrated graphic designer (and the only human living in the house); Kat, a cat girl, is a fun-loving photographer; Pip, a penguin, is a stereotypical video-game geek who makes a living buying and selling items online, and Scarlet is a naïve and energetic squirrel girl whose erratic behaviour and short attention span mask her true intellect. Over time the household is expanded with Kat's adoption of a non-anthropomorphic platypus named Leonard, a mysterious infestation of Denizens, and the rescue of Scarlet's sisters(?)

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: Ms. B transforms Hilary into a dragon mount. To combat them Liam transforms ''Kat'' into a dragon as well.

* BreakTheHaughty: Hilary, Kat's arch-nemesis from grade school, downgraded from high-powered advertising executive to sitting in the unemployment office. Next to Pip, who wants to talk about her ''previous'' "career".
** [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=781 One has to ask, how much further down can she go?]]
*** [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=782 Pretty damn far.]]
*** [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=793 And]] [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=795 then]] '''[[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=800 brutally]]''' [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=801 subverted.]]

** When Kat tries to [[spoiler: Breath fire in her dragon form]] she has no idea how to.

** [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=896 896]] begins a story that's a pastiche of [[Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe]].
