History Webcomic / WeaponBrown

* SpotTheThread: One of the guys sitting around the fire in the ''Aftershock'' framing story keeps scratching at something under his coat. The Pilgrim takes notice and interrogates him about it at the end. [[Spoiler:He's scratching at a growth of the carnivorous vine on his arm. It's a sign he was at Bone City. The Legion tattoo underneath it is another. It's all the clues Pops needs to deduce he was part of the attack that killed Olive Oyl..."and the little swee'pea she was carryin'..."]]

* UnstoppableRage: During their assault on U.S.A.C.R.E.S., the Syndicate legionaries kill[[spoiler:Olive Oyl. Pops goes mad with rage in response, tearing through their ranks and massacring their troops.]]

* FanDisservice: Chuck battles the Neanderthal savage ComicStrip/AlleyOop. You know, that big hairy patch over Alley Oop's crotch? [[spoiler:It's not a loincloth.]] Prepare the BrainBleach. Honourable mentions also go to ComicStrip/MaryWorth in a rubber catsuit, and an overweight ComicStrip/{{Blondie}} as dom to a Film/MadMax leather-clad Dagwood's sub.

* KlingonPromotion: Horns (aka [[ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}} the Pointy Haired Boss]]) becomes chairman of the Syndicate this way [[spoiler: by [[http://www.whatisdeepfried.com/2013/03/13/weapon-brown-31-7yv/ defenestrating]] [[ComicStrip/{{Blondie}} Mr. Dithers]]]].

** The [[ComicStrip/{{Blondie}} Dagwood]] expy, all clad in bondage gear, is called "Dogwood", and it's heavily implied that he loves dogs in ''[[BestialityIsDepraved that]]'' way.

* RatedMForManly: Oh god, ''yes''. An unprepared reader faces serious risk of contracting TestosteronePoisoning within the first few chapters.

* DeathBySex: [[spoiler:Miss Bucksley is the first lady that Chuck beds and is also the first of the gals to die]]. Averted with [[spoiler:Annie]].

* DirtyOldMan: Colonel Halftraque, who takes the [[ComicStrip/BeetleBailey original Colonel Halftrack]]'s tendency to hit on younger women and dials them UpToEleven for a mixture of [[RuleOfFunny comedy]] and FanDisservice.

* {{Determinator}}: Chuck, no matter what happens and despite how much his body wants to give out. He keeps on trucking just to surv.ve

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Pops's howl of despair over [[spoiler:losing Olive Oyl]] briefly upsets CAL. Pops's accent is too strong to actually invoke the word itself, but CAL [[BrownNote knows what it's supposed to be]]...

* HeartbrokenBadass: Weapon Brown will probably never get over losing the red-haired girl. Pops is also devastated when [[spoiler:Olive Oyl is killed during the evacuation of U.S.A.C.R.E.S]]. They commiserate briefly [[http://www.whatisdeepfried.com/2014/07/31/weapon-brown-320/ after the battle]].]]

** The surviving subjects of the Syndicate's SuperSoldier project attacked each other, starting by ganging up on the smallest -- a seven-year-old boy. [[spoiler: [[InvertedTrope He slaughtered them all.]]]]

* BaldOfAwesome: Weapon Brown has one strand of hair on his head, drawn in the same fashion as the original Charlie Brown's stylized hair, as a reference to the fact that some readers thought Charlie Brown was bald instead of just having (according to Charles Schultz) very close-cropped light-colored hair.
