Line #5 Webcomic/BeaverAndSteve


1	''[[https://web.archive.org/web/20191222054714/http://www.beaverandsteve.com/ Beaver and Steve]]'' is a [[DadaComic dada webcomic]] by James Turner. It revolves around the unfeasible adventures of an OddCouple consisting of a quiet, polite beaver and a psychotic [[strike:lizard]] [[strike:dinosaur]] reptile thingie with a knack for MadScience. A must read for everybody who wants to verify how much SurrealHumor his/her forebrain can take before trying to run to safety.

3	Currently on an indefinite hiatus since Turner is working on other projects, it amounts to 346 strips.
4	----
5	!!This comic provides examples of:
6	%%* ArchEnemy: The Shoe Goblin, as far as the comic's flimsy continuity can allow it.
7	* BadassSanta: In [[http://www.beaverandsteve.com/index.php?comic=141 this]] strip (plus the following one), Santa saves Steve from no other than Count {{Dracula}}.
8	%%* BearsAreBadNews: {{Parodied}}, where it's taken to [[https://web.archive.org/web/20060507055312/http://www.beaverandsteve.com/index.php?comic=25 the next level]].
9	%%* [[BrickJoke Brick Jokes]]: a lot of them. Used nearly all the time.
10	%%* {{Dracula}}: In [[http://www.beaverandsteve.com/index.php?comic=141 this]] strip Steve mistakes Dracula for SantaClaus. [[TheDitz Really.]]
11	* DyingDeclarationOfHate: In one strip the two title characters are cornered by monsters in an alley. When Beaver asks Steve if there's anything he wants to say before they die, he replies "I've always secretly hated you."
12	%%* {{Emoticon}}: After reading [[http://www.beaverandsteve.com/index.php?comic=336 this]] strip, you will have to use the emoticon Q-Q ''somewhere''.
13	%%* EmotionChip: Parodied with Emotibot, the robot programmed to feel emotions. And make toast.
14	%%* FantasticVoyagePlot: [[http://www.beaverandsteve.com/index.php?comic=250 A novel approach]].
15	%%* FullyAbsorbedFinale: [[http://eruditebaboon.livejournal.com/16632.html Possibly a joke.]] [[RocksFallEveryoneDies We certainly hope it is.]] Either way, it's clearly a parody of the trope, what with creating a new comic, for the sole purpose of ending an old one.
16	%%* FurryConfusion: [[http://www.beaverandsteve.com/index.php?comic=23 This]] comic shows the anthropomorphic Steve seeing his mother... a regular lizard. In a zoo. [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Hrm]].
17	%%* HeterosexualLifePartners
18	* LetsMeetTheMeat: There is a turnip that really, ''really'' wants Steve to eat it, and is willing to go to great lengths to force him to do so. There's also a wedge of cheese who's overjoyed when it comes time to be eaten, because it's the equivalent of a warrior's death for him. Too bad Steve has a haunted filling, so the ghosts eat the ghost cheese before it can ascend to Heaven.
19	%%* MamaBear: Referenced in [[http://www.beaverandsteve.com/index.php?comic=229 this]] strip.
20	%%* NoFourthWall:
21	%%** The author, on the 100th strip for example.
22	%%** [[http://www.beaverandsteve.com/index.php?comic=31 This strip]] takes it to extremes.
23	%%* NoodleIncident: Something happened at the [[http://www.beaverandsteve.com/index.php?comic=149 last Halloween]].
24	%%* OrderVersusChaos: Beaver and Steve, respectively.
25	* ThePowerOfLove: In [[http://www.beaverandsteve.com/index.php?comic=201 this]] story arc, love comes from another dimension populated with evil hearts that want to take over the earth.
26	%%* RoboSpeak: Emotibot, of course.
27	%%-->'''Emotibot:''' Informal non-gender specific greetings!
28	* TimeCrash: {{Parodied}}. The characters go back in time and Steve eats the apple that was supposed to fall on Newton's head; thus, Newton never invents gravity [sic] and in the future, everything floats. Then, they travel back in time again and launch an apple at Newton's head but it ends up bludgeoning him to death. Finally, they travel back a third time and end up killing their own past selves. At this point, Beaver remarks, "Well, I'm no expert on temporal physics but my guess is the universe will implode." And then it does.
29	%%* TimeTravel: Lots, with at least a TimeCrash.
30	%%* UnsoundEffect: A staple in the comics.
