Line #24 Webcomic/Intragalactic


1	''Intragalactic'' is a webcomic by {{Creator/Steph Cherrywell}} (also known as Steph [[GratuitousJapanese Sakurai]]), who also created ''Muertitos'' and ''Webcomic/GorgeousPrincessCreamyBeamy''. It [[AffectionateParody parodies]] many ScienceFiction tropes while providing {{fetish}} and AuthorAppeal. You can read it (beware, it's ''NotSafeForWork'' due to some nudity and other Fetish Fuel!) [[http://intragalacticcomic.com/ here]].

3	The arc-based comic tells the tales of [[TomboyishName Benjamin Glee]], the captain of a Neapolitan-class [[SeriousBusiness ice cream delivery ship]] and its [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits crew of misfits]], including her BrainlessBeauty boyfriend Axl, aging and mean-spirited RobotBuddy Rusty, and science officer Piper, who is actually a [[PuppeteerParasite puppetmaster parasite]] who suffers from a GuiltComplex over eating her host's brain.
4	----
5	!!''Intragalactic'' contains the following tropes:
6	%%* AffectionateParody
7	* AuthorAppeal: [[BigBeautifulWoman BBWs,]] [[BigEater women stuffing themselves]] [[BalloonBelly till they can barely move,]] and so on...
8	* BalloonBelly: [[BigEater Scatchi]] seems to be prone to this.
9	* BeastMan: Scatchi is a ratwoman, Axl is an... [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axolotl Axolotl]]-boy.
10	* BewareTheNiceOnes: When Piper finally gets fed up with Scatchi, she tells the Snaffet to [[http://intragalacticcomic.com/2010/09/24/195-the-worm-has-turned/ GO TO HER ROOM!]]
11	* BigEater: Scatchi again: After stuffing herself with ice cream, she proceeds to then finish off a Dippin' Dot nearly as big as she is. And so on. Her one weakness is burritos. One filler strip details her anatomy; her internal structure is mostly devoted to digestive organs. Ben also qualifies, especially in the "Ivy" arc.
12	%%* BigFun: Captain Ben.
13	%%* BizarreAlienBiology
14	%%* BoldlyComing
15	* BrainlessBeauty: Axl is on the crew ''only'' because he's the captain's hot boyfriend. He is technically the navigator, but is far too much of a [[TheDitz ditz]] to actually be allowed anywhere near the ship's controls. He had one job; "push the green button" and managed to screw it up.
16	%%* CameraSpoofing
17	* CastOfSnowflakes: Applies to pretty much everything [[SameFaceDifferentName Cherrywell/Sakurai]]'s ever done, after the [[OldShame FSR days]].
18	* DoubleStandard: [[GenderFlip Flipping]] age-old double standards and gender expectations is a good source of humour.
19	* FantasticRacism: Androids and Snaffets are not considered "people"; Androids can have their ''children killed in front of them for not doing their jobs properly'', and Snaffets are considered vermin. In fact; Scratchi was orphaned when her mother ran afoul of a mousetrap.
20	* FunetikAksent: Scatchi speaks with a {{Lzherusskie}} FunetikAksent, thanks to her [[TranslatorMicrobes Translator Macrobe]].
21	* FutureImperfect: [[http://intragalacticcomic.com/2009/09/23/the-history-of-ice-cream/ This is their version of the history of ice cream.]] It is 100% inaccurate. It was, apparently, invented by someone called "Johnny Rocksalt", and marketed as a concrete substitute, a cosmetic, a pinkeye cure, and jet fuel, until it was found to be edible and easily mass-produced just in time to stop a famine in 2100. No.
22	* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Axl is a {{Gender Flip}}ped example. He's a pink-skinned space [[{{Bishonen}} bish]].
23	* HolodeckMalfunction: {{Defied}} with the "Fauxlodeck"
24	-->"It's the same thing. All it lacks is the option where it malfunctions and tries to kill you."
25	* JerkAss: If Scatchi has any redeeming qualities, she's pretty damn good at hiding them.
26	%%* KillerRabbit: [[http://intragalacticcomic.com/2010/03/24/143-eucalactus/ here]]
27	%%* TheKirk: Captain Glee is basically a [[GenderFlip female]] Kirk expy.
28	* LaserHallway:[[http://intragalacticcomic.com/2010/01/27/131-the-laser-hall/ here]]
29	* MeaningfulName: Scatchi is quite bitter and cynical. Captain Glee is a cheerful hedonist. Rusty is, well, old and rusty. The ship is a "Neapolitan Class"; it has white, pink, and brown sections and is little more than an ice cream truck IN SPAAACE!.
30	* MuggedForDisguise /DressingAsTheEnemy: The enemies they mugged for their uniforms happened to be nude at the time... And ''it still worked.''
31	* NippleAndDimed: Inverted in [[http://intragalacticcomic.com/2010/02/05/135-closet-fight/ this]] strip, where the CensorSteam covers the man's nipples, but not the woman's.
32	%%* TheNudifier: The [[http://intragalacticcomic.com/2009/05/25/064-the-naked-time/ Nuditizer.]]
33	* OlderThanTheyLook: Scatchi is an adult snaffet, with a buxom figure. She passes for a child basically by virtue of being tiny.
34	* OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions: Not so; a [[spoiler: baby's smile]] is [[http://intragalacticcomic.com/2008/12/10/science-the-proof-part-1/ considered undeniable proof of God's existence.]]
35	** Scratchi's deity shows up in-the-flesh [[http://intragalacticcomic.com/2009/06/15/073-esopho-so-good/ here]].
36
37	* PuppeteerParasite: Piper's brainworm. Becoming a corpse puppet doesn't seem to have affected her personality much, apart from a guilt complex and poor body image.
38	* [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Really 6,000 Years Old]]: Rusty was apparently built in [[http://intragalacticcomic.com/2010/11/29/young-rusty-chronicles/ 1985]].
39	* RedShirt: Enstant Ensigns are expendable cloned crewmen. Naturally, they wear red.
40	* RobotBuddy: Rusty and Poid.
41	* SceneryCensor: Played for laughs in a series of strips starting [[http://intragalacticcomic.com/2010/01/20/128-i-spy-some-butts/ here.]]
42	* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Captain Glee regularly spends her paycheque on illegal weaponry; and just has her lawyer highlight them on the manifest to make it easier for the cops to find.
43	* SeriousBusiness: Delivering ice cream.
44	* ShoutOut: A [[http://intragalacticcomic.com/2009/01/14/038-k-i-o-s-k-spells-quality/ bootleg video dealer]] says he has a certain [[Film/{{Serenity}} oat bar commercial]].
45	* SlapSlapKiss: [[http://intragalacticcomic.com/2010/07/05/160-feel-like-making-war/ lampshaded.]]
46	* TakenForGranite: [[spoiler:Benjamin]], towards the end of the "Ivy" arc.
47	* ThrownOutTheAirlock: a more merciful (and entertaining) version.
48	-->"We put down on a planet and blow you out with a big fan. Very humiliating."
49	* TranslatorMicrobes: Parodied with the Translator ''Mac''robe. It is as big, and thus as painful, as it sounds. It also makes the user speak in a thick {{Lzherusskie}} accent, apparently because of Rusty's original purpose was to act as a robotic spy.
