"'''[http://schetch.net The Schetch Pad]'''" is a {{Webcomic}} created by Martin Schetselaar ([[GuestStrip with occasional contributions from his daughter, Sophie]]). It's a single-panel, [[GagPerDayWebcomics skit-style comic]], with particular focus on three subjects: Film/StarTrek, Volkwagons, and [[WriteWhatYouKnow life with only one arm]]. Its name is a [[PlayOnWords play on]] (and possible homophone of) the term ''sketch pad''.

The comic updates every Wednesday (with some exceptions).

!! The Schetch Pad contains examples of:

* TheAllegedCar: A lot of them!
** "[http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2014-07-30-2 BeelzeBug]" gives a guy's reaction to Satan providing him with (what he assumes to be) one of these.[[note]]It was a brand new modern Volkswagon.[[/note]]
** The wife [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=its-worth-it is not happy about this one]...
*** [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2014-11-05 Or this one].
** Finn's [=VW=] is especially problematic. [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=who-says-vws-dont-have-heat An early comic] had him visiting the doctor due to afflictions caused by it.
** [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2014-12-17 This bus] is lucky to have seatbelts.
* AuthorAvatar: Finn, all the way down to the stump he has in place of a left forearm. [http://schetch.net/wp/?page_id=2 Martin stated it himself] so that [[MoralGuardians people]] didn't [[UnacceptableTargets get the wrong idea]].
* BerserkButton:
** [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2015-04-01 Do NOT call it a Hippie van].
** Martin seems to have a couple of Berserk Buttons himself. In addition to the TakeThat entries below:
*** [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=no-excuse-people Do not leave trolleys in parking spaces].
*** Never talk about his limb difference in a condescending way. See DisabledMeansHelpless below.
* ChristmasEpisode: [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=beam-me-up-dasher This] and [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2014-12-24 this] comic roughly qualify.
* CompensatingForSomething: Lampshaded [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2015-03-18 here].
* CoolCar:
** Apparently, [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2014-07-07-2 Herbie can go to war].
** [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2014-06-30 If a 1963 ragtop is good enough for God]...
** Thieves aren't prepared to touch the [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2014-08-27-2 ArachnoGhia].
* CoolStarship: [[spoiler:[http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2014-09-17-2 Beetle-style spacecraft], to be precise.]]
** Then of course there's the space [[HippieVan Hippie Vans]]. See below.
* DisabledMeansHelpless: A few comics deal with this trope, with most being aversions. [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2014-10-01-2 This comic] double subverts it, and justifiably: when your driving apparatus is on the right-hand side (like what is the case for Australian cars), [[spoiler:reaching the gear stick is impossible with only half a left arm]].
* DisabledSnarker: Finn has his moments. Given that he's also an AuthorAvatar...
* HippieVan: Naturally, since the Volkswagon features pretty prominently in the cartoons. [[RecycledInSpace There are even space-faring versions of it]].
* MakeAWish: [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2015-05-06 This comic] plays it for laughs.
* OneOfUs: Martin is a fan of Film/StarTrek and [=VWs=]. It comes out a lot in the cartoons.
* OneTrueFaith: Played with in [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2014-06-25 the first comic]. Note that the religion in question is ''"[=VW=]"'', with an "orthodox" branch (i.e. classic Beetle-style [=VWs=], as opposed to the modern VWs).
* ThePrankster/TheBully: Sophie's [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2015-02-18 first guest contribution] seems to paint her father's bus as a combination of the two.
* PricelessMingVase: Lampshaded [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2015-03-11 here].
* RedShirt: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2015-03-04 here]. Note that this is a Lampshading for ''[[ShoutOut another]]'' [[StarTrek series]]
* ShoutOut: The ''StarTrek'' shoutouts aside, there are:
** ''Film/BackToTheFuture'', with [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2014-12-31 this humourous take] on a familiar scene.
** ''Series/DoctorWho'' is [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=who referenced] in regards to the San Diego Comic-Con.
** ''Creator/LeonardNimoy'' got a [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=farewell-mr-nimoy fitting tribute].
** ''Film/TheLoveBug'', specifically [[SentientVehicle Herbie]], gets a couple: [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2014-07-07-2 here] and [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2015-02-25 here].
** ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'', in a crossover with Star Trek in [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=too-much-peril this comic].
** ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' gets a couple, both of which are brought up in CoolCar and XMeetsY.
** ''Film/StarWars'', especially ''[http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2015-01-28 A New Hope]''.
* SpacePolice: Starfleet gets reimagined as this in [http://schetch.net/wp/?comic=2015-02-11 this panel].
