3 | Victor Troy Duncan is a newspaper reporter who likes reading about the ComicStrip/DickTracy[[CaptainErsatz -esque]] comic-strip hero ''Troy Hart'' (who Vic believes is his [[DisappearedDad missing father]]), and otherwise doing things that aren't really working, including watching {{Anime}} shows online (particularly '''Jyrinia: The Dimension Jumpers''', an anime series about the alternate world of Jyrinia and its populace), as well as [[GeorgeJetsonJobSecurity trying to avoid getting fired]], trying to start up a relationship with the cute-but-[[SassySecretary spunky secretary]], and avoiding the local TechnoWizard [[ScienceIsBad like the plague]]. As a newspaper reporter, he often finds the strangest stories; otherwise, he [[NewsParody writes his own stories]] [[ForTheLulz for his own amusement]], [[FictionalDocument not to be published]]. He also has to deal with snarky rivals and newfangled technology. |

7 | !!Tropes it uses include... |
8 | * {{Crossover}}: [[DarthWiki/TommyMunroe Tommy's]] and Victor's universes may or may not be linked, for many of the ShowWithinAShow TV shows and [[CompositeCharacter combo]]-[[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed celebs]] feature in his universe as well, but so far, [[BystanderSyndrome Vic hasn't reported sightings of giant sushi monsters...]] ''yet.'' |
9 | * LanternJawOfJustice: Victor Duncan. |
10 | ** Troy Hart on the other hand, [[ComicStrip/DickTracy despite his epically-lanturn-jawed inspiration]], has a ''smaller'' jaw than Vic himself, though still nicely square. |
11 | * LovableNerd: Subverted. [[TechnoWizard Local computer technician]] Edward Engelmann is seen by Vic as [[LouSiffer the Devil incarnate]]. Justified in that he ''[[LockedOutOfTheLoop never]]'' [[LockedOutOfTheLoop caters to the computer-illiterate]], and he [[TechnologyPorn envisions a future where technology will become everything]] [[NoBackwardsCompatibilityInTheFuture and where nothing old will be saved]]... total NightmareFuel for poor old Vic. |
12 | ** ProudToBeAGeek: Darn straight! |
13 | * MeanBoss: Eddward Barr-Nun, a very intelligent, capable, yet cynical boss. |
14 | ** Also a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, since he ''does'' have polite conversations with his employees; he's just an angry old man with a slight perfectionist streak. |
15 | * MrImagination: Victor Duncan. It's the only thing that keeps him happy in a CrapsackWorld... and the prime source of [[NightmareDreams his terror]]. |
16 | * NerdGlasses: Edward Engelmann again. Vic thinks that his eyes look [[DeathGlare scary enough already]] ''[[DeathGlare without magnification]]''. |
17 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Well, [[CompositeCharacter they were thrown into a blender]]... |
18 | ** TheAhnold: As well as [[Franchise/{{Rambo}} The Stallone]], Rex Schwartzenbaumer. |
19 | ** MrAltDisney: as well as [[Creator/JimHenson The Henson]], John W. Dreamer. |
20 | * NostalgiaFilter: Victor cannot work with a digital camera that's harder to set up than "a goldarned video tape player!" even though he's dealt with far more complex printing machinery from so long ago. |
21 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Vic has been mistaken for a 35-year-old, even though his true age adds a decade and a few years or so. |
22 | * PluckyOfficeGirl: Kaitlyn Haert, Vic's LoveInterest and the newspaper's SassySecretary. |
