3Snail Diaries is a JournalComic by Grace Gogarty, AKA Little-Tunny. It focuses mainly on their true SliceOfLife stories that they find comedic, exaggerated by their [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom personification]] of everyone as a FunnyAnimal based on personality.

5The main character of the comic is Grace themself, personified as a snail.

10!!Snail Diaries contains the following tropes:
11* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation and AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: There's realistically-colored animal characters alongside bright blue hyenas, pink rhinoceroses, green aardvarks, etc.
12* AmbiguousGender: Grace is seen as androgynous by many in real life, and quite a few strips center on this.
13* AnimalReligion: Jesus is depicted as a lion on a pamphlet.
14* AppropriateAnimalAttire: Very inconsistent, and the author knows it. While clothes exist in strips where nudity is a factor, they also exist in strips where it isn't. Sometimes characters with clothes are fully clothed, and sometimes they're a HalfDressedCartoonAnimal. And sometimes the animals are just naked. In many cases, some are wearing clothes while others aren't.
15* ArtisticLicense–Biology: Justified because they're all actual human events, but in-universe, where to begin?
16** All of the animals are the same size, more or less.
17** Grace's friend is an oyster with a pearl for a head.
18* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Usually.
19* BirdPeople: Most notably Grace's mother, who is a swan, complete with FeatherFingers.
20* CarnivoreConfusion: Inverted - Grace is a vegan in real life, but snails are omnivores.
21* CryingCritters: Grace cries in some strips.
22* EitherOrOffspring: Grace's hypothetical child is also a snail, though the father is an orca.
23* FurryConfusion: Everyone is an animal, but Grace's real-life cats and dogs appear unaltered.
24* FurryLens: As a journal comic, all the characters are real-life people, but they're drawn as animal personas.
25* MatureAnimalStory: With a lot of themes.
26* InterspeciesRomance: Most romances are.
27* NonhumansLackAttributes: Justified since Grace is a snail in-universe, but it's still treated as upper nudity.
28* NonmammalianHair: Not on Grace's head, but on their legs.
29* RandomSpeciesOffspring: Grace's mother is a swan while they are a snail.
30* ShellBackpack: Grace's shell goes over their clothes when they wear them.
31* TakeThat!: Their strips featuring their ex-boyfriend, where they highlight the especially poor way he treated them.
32* WorldOfFunnyAnimals
