Line #11 Webcomic/MyCardboardLife


1	''My Cardboard Life'' is a webcomic by Phillipa Rice that began October 2008. A SliceOfLife comic using characters all made of different material, cut and pasted onto more material to add a unique effect. It mainly follows the young cardboard man, Colin and his best friend Pauline, who sometimes [[VitriolicBestBuds doesn't act like it]].

4	----
5	!!This comic provides examples of:
6	* AlliterativeName: Cardboard Colin, Paper Pauline, Cardboard Carl, Noel News.
7	* AllLoveIsUnrequited:
8	** Dr. Band-Aid is practically made of this trope. Sort of subverted in that he will have a girlfriend every once in awhile, but it doesn't take long for him to chase her away.
9	** This also happens to Colin with his feelings for [[spoiler: Pauline]].
10	* ArtEvolution: The comic first started off having the characters cut out much more polygonal (the most noticeable example is Pauline), but as time passed, the characters were made much smoother.
11	* BalloonBelly: Happens after Colin and Pauline eat too much [[http://mycardboardlife.com/2009/02/23/ice-cream/ ice cream]].
12	* TheBear: A ''literal'' example in [[http://mycardboardlife.com/2921 this strip]].
13	* BearsAreBadNews: Colin's pet polar bear, who's quite grumpy and causes some mess for him.
14	%%* ButtMonkey: Definitely Colin.
15	* CatchPhrase:
16	-->'''[[{{Jerkass}} The Spoon]]''': Guilty!
17	%%* DisappearedDad: Janet's husband. Makes you wonder about the father of Colin's nieces and nephews...
18	* DoubleEntendre: Pauline to Colin, though off-comic. Once she suggested Colin to [[http://mycardboardlife.com/1026 "grow a pear"]]. A rejected strip with the same concept (albeit less subtle) shows Colin holding a lot of balls. Innocent, LiteralMinded Colin takes it [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment literally]].
19	* EldritchAbomination: The egg monster thing from the "Recyclost" storyline.
20	* ImagineSpot: Colin has these about his dog and how he's going to "grow up".
21	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Pauline, Polar Bear, and the Spoon have all had their moments.
22	* {{Jerkass}}: Pauline and the polar bear are prime offenders. The Spoon also qualifies.
23	* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Colin's nieces and nephews.
24	* MediumAwareness: The characters realize they're made of their respective material, as well as their surroundings.
25	* MemeticBadass: An InUniverse example: Colin's dad, who has as many rumors going around him as Creator/ChuckNorris. Most likely an AffectionateParody of this trope.
26	%%* NoNameGiven: Colin's many nieces and nephews.
27	* OffWithHisHead: Happens a couple of times with Colin, but since it doesn't seem to bother him, it's not too bad.
28	%%* PaintingTheMedium
29	%%* PhotoComic: Of a sort.
30	* PrehensileHair: [[http://mycardboardlife.com/2010/06/01/biscuits/ Silvia Foil]].
31	* {{Pun}}: A ''staple'' of this comic, and examples are too much too list. Dr. Band-Aid uses puns as pick-up lines (there's a couple of consecutive strips about this).
32	* PungeonMaster: Dr. Band-Aid uses rather horrid puns as pick-up lines.
33	* RockPaperScissors: In the first comic, Colin and Pauline play. Scissor beats paper, and since Pauline is made of paper, HilarityEnsues.
34	* TheRuntAtTheEnd: The "St. Colin and the Dragon" storyline gives us [[http://mycardboardlife.com/2717 Dynamite, Stormcloud, Bully, Captain, and Clopsy]].
35	* SceneryPorn:
36	** [[http://mycardboardlife.com/2682 "St. Colin and the Dragon"]]. And that's just the ''first'' page -- the SceneryPorn doesn't end there.
37	** The SceneryPorn continues in [[http://mycardboardlife.com/3179 "Recyclost"]].
38	* SecretDiary: Carl [[http://mycardboardlife.com/2022 has one]].
39	* StealthPun: Colin's shapes are mostly consisted of squares. Remember what "square" meant as an old slang word. However, it's sometimes [[http://mycardboardlife.com/198 pointed out]].
40	* VitriolicBestBuds: A one-sided variant of Type 2; Pauline probably gives Colin the most trouble, and she's his ''best friend''.
41	%%* WithFriendsLikeThese: Poor Colin usually gets this.
42	%%* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: The Dragon from "St. Colin and the Dragon".
