15	----
16	!!This webcomic provides examples of:
17	* AcademicAlphaBitch: The girl Mary meets in the chess club likes to flaunt her superiority over others.
18	* BadAssArmFold: Mary performs one when faced by a bully. Helped that she's flanked by Death and Pestilence, two of the HorsemenOfTheApocalypse.
19	* BlackBeadEyes: Among all the characters, only Death has those, although white rather than black.
20	* BlackComedy: Sometimes Death can be quite, well, morbid.
21	-->'''Mary''': And you won't kill anyone.\
22	'''Death''': I can't make any promises on that.
23	* ChessWithDeath: Spoofed. Death says that he's never lost a game of chess, but it turns out that the only one brave enough to play with him is his dog. [[spoiler:In actuality it's Life who'd shapeshifted into a dog, and they play for the fate of every mortal alive: If Death wins, the person lives. If Life wins, the person dies]].
24	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Death sometimes comes across like this. He hilariously misinterprets Mary's inquiries, thinks that the Ultimate Question is whether Star Trek beats Star Wars, and sent to retrieve a penguin's soul, he believes it wants to fly one last time so he picks it up and hurls it through the air.
25	* DarkIsNotEvil: Death may be morbid and obsessed with death, but he's not malicious about it.
26	* DeathbringerTheAdorable: Death's dog is called Cerberus, but it's a normal, if adorable dog.
27	* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Played for laughs in Death's attitude to his job. He hates Easter because of "the one that got away", for example.
28	* DontFearTheReaper: Death can have some creepy statements at times, but all in all, he's nothing but friendly to Mary.
29	* ElvisLives: Death says he never heard of him.
30	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The comic is about Mary and Death.
31	* GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath: Death's face is obscured save for pair of glowing eyes.
32	* HorsemenOfTheApocalypse: Death and Pestilence have shown up so far.
33	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Mary's short, while Death is tall and slender.
34	* InvisibleToNormals: It seems only Mary can see Death (and Pestilence).
35	* LightIsNotGood: Life tries to trick Mary into playing a game with him (claiming [[BlatantLies no strings attached]]), but Death doesn't believe it, and Life doesn't try to deny it, claiming it's Death's fault for leaving the doorway open.
36	* LovableNerd: Mary's worst nightmare is missing school, she's academically focused and her favourite toys are Doctor Who memorabilia.
37	* MarriedToTheJob: As evidenced by page picture, Death seems unable to think of anything unconnected to his job.
38	* RentAZilla: The monster from Mary's nightmare is a giant, bipedal beast tearing its way through the city.
39	* ShoutOut:
40	** When watching skies, Death quotes Carl Sagan.
41	** Mary has [[Series/DoctorWho a dalek and TARDIS]] among her toys.
42	** When asked what's the ultimate question, Death says "Franchise/StarTrek or Franchise/StarWars".
43	** Death reads [[Literature/GoodOmens Good Omens]].
44	* TallDarkAndSnarky: Death has his moments, although usually he's rather dorky.
45	* TheGrimReaper: Death has this appearance, complete with scythe and glowing eyes.
46	* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: After first few times, Mary's pretty quick to get used to Death's presence.
47	* VagueAge: It's unclear how old Mary is exactly, only that she's still going to school.
