History Webcomic / TheRedac

''[[http://the-redac.the-comic.org/ The Redacverse]]'' is the {{webcomic}}-based archive of Matt Comics's genre-busting stories. It started in 2009 as traditional pen-and-paper doodles, but remained in obscurity for many years before finally being uploaded online from 2017 onwards. It actually is a collection of comics, diary pages, fake newspapers and more, set on a FictionalEarth where AllMythsAreTrue.

This project follows the adventures of [[AuthorAvatar Matt]] and LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters in a silly mix of LifeEmbellished, convoluted lore, comedy and haphazard plots.

!!''The Redacverse'' provides examples of:

* AltText: Many pages use it as an opportunity for snarky comments or stray thoughts.
* AnimateInanimateObject: A recurring kind of character. Living toys, plushies, bubbles, balls and more all exist.
* AudienceSurrogate: The retroactive introduction starts with two Readers sitting in armchairs with floating pages everywhere. They even get an explanation of the story directly from the Narrator.
* BearTrap: The Boss's first appearance has him walking into a bear trap set by one of his employees.
* BigBallOfViolence: This seems to be one of the standard ways to fight, featured in [[http://the-redac.webcomic.ws/comics/pl/847982 background]] ''and'' [[http://the-redac.webcomic.ws/comics/pl/905329 foreground]] fights.
* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: A house shaped like a giant toilet is introduced in Chapter 9.
* ComedicSociopathy:
** Early on, Matt liked killing [[TheyKilledKennyAgain Ventoose]] way too much, and it was played for laughs.
** The Ball's recurring attacks against Matt and Therry are a frequent source of slapstick.
* EarthquakesCauseFissures
* TheFaceOfTheSun: The sun got a childish, cartoony face, and terrible manners, even burping in his first appearance. There's also a pig-faced variant [[http://the-redac-extras.webcomic.ws/comics/pl/914619 picking its nose]].
* FogFeet: The Blue Ghosts are drawn with a stubby, legless lower body and float above the ground.
* GagNose: Both Il and the Skiski got big eggplant-shaped noses.
* GhibliHills: The comic's world got large areas of forest and grassy hills between relatively small towns. A lot of important characters and strange creatures can be found in the woodlands, and the initial protagonist lives in [[http://the-redac.webcomic.ws/comics/pl/846562 an isolated mountain house]].
* IronButtMonkey: Therry has been stabbed many times, got hit on the head with his own guitar, and Matt even sent him to an icy exoplanet without any kind of protection. He's always back for the next page, or even the next panel. Of course, it [[{{Slapstick}} helps]] that the comic doesn't take over-the-top violence too seriously.
* LifeEmbellished
* LivingDinosaurs: The Matthewsaurus is still alive in the present day. The Therrysaurus also survived, but as a living fossil. Several other unnamed dinosaurs also still exist.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters
* MileLongShip: The cloud-shaped Zauther ships come in varied sizes, but the Supreme Ship is by far the most enormous. According to the Zauther leader, it is 1 parsec[[note]]3.26 light years[[/note]] long and 1 light year wide. Only its front end is seen a few pages later.
* MixAndMatchCritters:
** Arachnocurrillas are basically sasquatch-like creatures with spider legs.
** The Fly-Touch spell results in this, turning anyone into a half-fly hybrid. ([[NinjaPirateZombieRobot of course,]] it gets used on an arachnocurrilla)
** Most Zauthers look like a mix of several preexisting characters.
* MundaneFantastic: Some people develop the power to slide on their butts as they get older. Dinosaurs, talking animals and strange hybrids barely attract any attention. Soap bubbles can become deadly flying weapons. Those are only some of the many things that are considered normal in the Redacverse.
* NonstandardCharacterDesign:
** The simplistic art style of the early pages means that nobody had visible ears... except Grandpa, who got ''huge'' ears.
** Similarly, only a handful of characters had visible noses early on, always of the GagNose and Pinocchio-like variety.
* NotSoInnocentWhistling:
** Matt does it after criticizing his father on the Chapter 1 cover.
** Grandpa [[http://the-redac.webcomic.ws/comics/pl/873932 does it]] after finding a way to avoid carrying heavy bags.
* OneSteveLimit: The Redacverse loves messing with this trope. Some characters can have octopus counterparts with similar names, but spelled with an "octopus accent" (for example, Matthew's counterpart is named Maffhew). Another kind of counterpart can be found on the Moon (Mattis for Matthew or Terrys for Therry). And then there's a whole group of characters known as Your Father, His Father, Your Son...
* PlantPerson: Matt loses a fight against two of them in the introduction.
* RunningGag: Even the tiniest earthquake will make Grandpa's seismograph go crazy.
* SliceOfLife: Early pages are little more than silly records of whatever happened every Sunday.
* StrippedToTheBone: Zauther laser beams are a non-lethal variation. They instantly reduce their targets to charred, blackened skeletons, only for them to regenerate a few minutes later.
* TrivialTitle: The comic was originally made by parodying, embellishing and ''redacting'' life. Other than that, the title isn't very important.
* WhiteMaskOfDoom: All Assassins wear one, with a big SlasherSmile to boot.
