8
9	A webcomic that was hosted on Website/SmackJeeves. And no, [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant it has nothing to do with the word 'apt'.]]
10
11	A [[MetaWebcomics "meta" webcomic]] that's about every game, anime, and whatever the author can think of. The setting is in Comicia, a world in which geography is about as consistant as the comic's title (read as; never the same twice.) There's also some random portals that go to places like alternate/mirror dimensions, [[Franchise/{{Kirby}} Dreamland]] and [[Manga/SgtFrog Pekopon.]]
12
13	The main character is Ammika Channing (Known by her pen name [="PrincesTomboy"=], which should be read Princess Tomboy), a [[RealityWarper reality-warping]] CatGirl who's also the [[AuthorAvatar author of the comic.]] She tends to be a bit [[GenkiGirl hyper...]] [[NoPlotNoProblem And she doesn't really have a reason for being here at all.]] She obviously likes this site.
14
15	Her sidekick is Inferno, an OriginalCharacter of the VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog series [[{{SuspiciouslySpecificDenial}} who looks nothing like Shadow.]] He's a [[{{Moe}} cute little boy]] who is [[DraggedIntoDrag often forced into crossdressing]] and other things he hates, for Ammika's amusement.
16
17	As well as plenty of other characters. In summary, [[{{Troperiffic}} It's chock full of]] {{Tropes}}. The humor is intentionally cutesy and kid-friendly, and it updates every Friday. There are also plenty of [[ThirdLineSomeWaiting "mini strips."]]
18
19	Originally, the comic was planned as a sprite comic using original sprites made by the author herself. It was about Ammika and her [[Manga/SgtFrog frog alien]] sidekick Kumimi going on adventures. It had 15 comics (3 comics and two panels of which were fillers) but due to computer trouble all the sprites had been deleted and it was left abandoned.
20
21	On July 28th 2011, it was restarted as a cartoon. Kumimi was replaced with [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog a hedgehog hybrid]] named Inferno, though Kumimi does hang around the house.
22
23	Not to be confused with [[https://www.aptcomic.com/ Attack Pattern Tuggs,]] a Star Trek parody comic at the domain aptcomic.com.

25	----
26	!!This work includes examples of the following tropes:
27
28	%%* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Averted, as Inferno gets along pretty reasonably [[spoiler:for a rockstar.]]
29	%%* AllMythsAreTrue: If you look in the right universe.
30	%%* AltText: Ammika has started adding these recently.
31	%%* [[spoiler:[[ArtificialHuman Artificial Hedgehog]]: Inferno.]]
32	%%* AuthorAppeal: Probably one of the most justified cases considering the NoFourthWall about who made the universe.
33	%%* BreakingTheFourthWall: [[DuctTapeForEverything Nothing a little]] [[RunningGag glue can't fix!]]
34	%%* ComicallyInvincibleHero: Ammika does not believe this exists, so despite being [[AGodAmI the person in charge of the universe]] she plays fair, gets kidnapped, etc.
35	%%* ComicBookTime
36	%%* DeadpanSnarker[[OnlySaneMan /Only Sane Person]]: Nearly everyone who can speak gets this at one point.
37	* DraggedIntoDrag: Inferno [[TakeOurWordForIt is forced to crossdress a lot.]] Apparently.
38	%%* EarsAsHair: Arguably.
39	%%* EvilGloating: Discussed in an Ammika Explains
40	* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Not really, but 'authors' get some great perks for having people read their stuff. Just like the RealLife sort, really.
41	%%* HammerspaceHair: Ammika uses this from time to time, for visual humor, though she usually prefers pockets.
42	%%* HypocriticalHumor
43	%%* ImprobableWeaponUser: {{Subverted}} as the [[spoiler:necklace turns into a sword [[BuffySpeak or something]] (it's a very limited MorphWeapon)]] before she fights with it.
44	%%* IneffectualSympatheticVillain/ MinionWithAnFInEvil: Considering [[spoiler:Inferno technically works for Eggman,]] and Kumimi is an [[spoiler:alien invader...]]
45	%%* InWhichATropeIsDescribed
46	%%* LittleBitBeastly: Seems to be a requirement for the [[RealityWarper authors]], though in a few cases they just UnusualEars have without the tail and such.
47	%%* LittleMissAlmighty
48	%%* LivingToys: Sort of with [[spoiler:Locket]].
49	%%** [[spoiler:There's also a living teddy bear, though.]]
50	%%* MorphWeapon: See ImprobableWeaponUser
51	%%* NoFourthWall: Well, it frequently needs repairing at least.
52	%%* OnlySixFaces: Though it's less "six kinds of human faces" and more one human face and five other species.
53	%%* OriginalCharacter: Many of the characters are based on (somewhat unoriginal) concepts for [=OCs=].
54	%%* [[spoiler:OurDemonsAreDifferent]]
55	%%* [[spoiler:OurVampiresAreDifferent]]
56	%%* PlayingWithFire: [[spoiler:[[MeaningfulName Inferno.]]]] Fitting when you consider [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Blaze's]]]] existance.
57	%%* PlotHole: [[spoiler:They're taken quite literally and used as a PlotDevice.]]
58	%%* PurelyAestheticGender: Considering all the UnplannedCrossdressing, everyone ever with very few exceptions.
59	%%* RealityWarper: Authors.
60	%%* RealityWarpingIsNotAToy: {{Averted}}, but it makes things too easy so Ammika avoids it most of the time.
61	%%* {{Retcon}}s: Discussed in an Ammika Explains
62	* ShoutOut: One to ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''' Syndrome in an Ammika Explains.
63	** ''Series/BetweenTheLions'': "Click the mousey librarian."
64	** The comic title "ECHO... echo... cookie... echo" is a reference to ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb''.
65	%%* SomedayThisWillComeInHandy[=/=]ItMayHelpYouOnYourQuest: Every time. [[OverlyLongGag Every. Single. Time.]]
66	%%* SproutingEars: [[spoiler:Permanently]] for one [[spoiler:Ally Katt.]]
67	* ThemeNaming: The more important characters [[spoiler:have earlier alphabet names, so A]] means they're important (Unless they're from a canon series, that's an unfortunate coincidence.}
68	** Their sidekicks are named starting with [[spoiler:vowels, right down to [[StealthPun the Y-named one only being called that "sometimes".]]]]
69	*** Plothole fairies are sound effects. Blip, Click, Fwish, Whirr...
70	%%* {{Tsundere}}: Plenty, see AuthorAppeal.
71	%%* UnsoundEffect: scratches head
72	%%* WallOfBlather: {{Averted}} in that you can read it all, though.
73	%%* WebcomicTime
