6!!Tropes:
7
8* AlwaysABiggerFish: In [[http://www.bunicomic.com/comic/buni-434/ this strip]].
9* AnimateInanimateObject: The occasional comic strip features this, which can be virtually anything. Examples include food, plants, abstract things such as rainbows and hearts, and [=BuniDad's=] coffee pot.
10* BrokenAce: Buni's dog.
11* AprilFoolsDay: [[http://www.bunicomic.com/comic/buni-812/ Bunigirl has the misfortune of asking Buni to come over on this date.]]
12* BearsAreBadNews: Bears make up a lot of the shady characters in the comic.
13* CementShoes: How a pair of mafia bears dispose of their victim [[http://www.bunicomic.com/comic/buni-23/ here]].
14* ColoringInTheWorld: The titular rabbit decides one day to bring Technicolor to the drab black-and-white world of the bears. Unfortunately, instead of causing them to become joyfully rapturous from the sight, they instead all GoMadFromTheRevelation, with the final panel having a Hazmat team busily "disinfecting" the entire scene of all those toxic colors, subverting the trope.
15* CosmicPlaything: Sometimes literally, when God himself comes down to mess with the titular character.
16* CrapsackWorld: There are hints of this, but for the most part Buni is completely oblivious to it.
17* DiedInYourArmsTonight: Buni accidentally [[http://www.bunicomic.com/comic/buni/ pierces a squirrel through the heart]] while he's practicing his aim with Cupid's love arrows. The arrow makes the squirrel [[DyingDeclarationOfLove profess its love to Buni]] before dying.
18* DisproportionateRetribution: Take only one candy from the bowl on Halloween. Or your zombie costume will become much more... [[http://www.bunicomic.com/comic/buni-275/ realistic.]]
19* DownerEnding: ALL THE TIME.
20* TheFunInFuneral: Buni has been to a fair share of funerals, and there's always a quirk of black humor at each one.
21* FunnyAnimal: Pretty much the whole cast.
22* HighPressureBlood: When a rat wanders into a trap, your room will be painted red.
23* HyperCompetentSidekick: Buni's dog has, on many occasions, faithfully defended Buni from the gnomes, prevented several misfortunes, and even tried to introduce good fortune. Also, he can drive.
24* LoveHurts: The most frequently recurring theme of the comic.
25* LudicrousGibs: Occasionally.
26* MeetTheMeat: Several examples. A fresh sushi bar with an all fish staff, a steak restaurant with a cow waiter, cotton candy made out of unicorn fur and a pig selling hot dogs, to name a few.
27* MonsterClown: The most frequently recurring clown isn't exactly "monstrous" in the traditional sense, but he's obviously a very unpleasant criminal.
28* NamelessNarrative: The four named characters are Buni, [=BuniDad=], Dogi, and [=BuniGirl=]. No other characters are named, and if not for WordOfGod three of these four would be unknown as well.
29* NegativeContinuity: Since Buni dies in the occasional strip.
30* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Buni's attempts to help people often make his own life worse.
31* NonIronicClown: There's actually quite a few of them.
32* PictorialSpeechBubble: All characters' preferred way of speaking.
33* RadiationInducedSuperpowers: Averted. [[http://www.bunicomic.com/comic/buni-98/ When you drink a barrel of toxic waste, you die.]]
34* ShoutOut: To ''Film/KingKong'' [[http://www.bunicomic.com/comic/buni-173/ here]].

36* TestosteronePoisoning: Buni's dog drinks SNAKE VENOM for breakfast!
