1	''[[http://catcherrye.deviantart.com/gallery/?25875470#/d2tzltt Pinwheel Pawnshop]]'' is an UrbanFantasy webcomic by S.J. Flathers (aka [=CatcherRye=], Rye, or Ronove) first released in a private forum and now released one page a day on Website/DeviantArt. It follows the adventures of a small class of elementary school/early middle school students, narrated by Rosalind, one of their peers. After the students discover a set of bizarre directions to the eponymous Pinwheel Pawnshop, strange and magical occurrences begin to plague the children.

3	The series combines PsychologicalHorror with whimsy. It is set to be continued in a currently undecided format, but possibly as an illustrated novel.

6	!!This comic provides examples of:
7
8	* AccidentalPervert: Tarvos is very worried about being mistaken for this while he waits for Perdita and Rosalind to get the directions out of the girls' bathroom.
9	* BazaarOfTheBizarre: The Pinwheel Pawnshop is a lesser example.
10	* DrivesLikeCrazy: Both Perdita and Tarvos are crazy cyclists, according to Rosalind.
11	* BreakingTheFourthWall: Rosalind comments that she will try to be a good narrator.
12	* ClusterFBomb: The unseen, very loud voice is quite profane.
13	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Prometheus and [[spoiler: The Lanky Man]]
14	* ManEatingPlant: Well, it doesn't eat people (we think), but it otherwise seems to move around and have a good deal more teeth than a mundane carnivorous plant.
15	* MeaningfulName: Titania and Oberon are the class voices. [[spoiler: Perdita means "the lost one" or "loss", and her death hits Rosalind especially hard. Nasaea is a type of water plant, but Nasaea in PP can't swim and later dies by falling asleep in a field of flowers. The original Prometheus brought light to humanity, and is implied that the character may eventually bring light to Charon. And, of course, Charon ferries people to the underworld, and in PP Charon is killing off the children one by one.]] Justified, again, by the names being changed for the purpose of the story.
16	%%* RealityWarper: [[spoiler:Charon.]]
17	* ResetButtonEnding: Nearly every chapter ends with all the weird stuff disappearing, most of the children forgetting, and things going back to normal. {{Justified\|Trope}}, since [[spoiler: Rosalind's bell necklace resets reality, and no one but her and Charon really remember what happened.]]
18	* UnsoundEffect: We don't know what a smile sounds like, either.
19	* YouCantMissIt: The directions to the pawnshop are truly bizarre, including a direction to go "over the cheese."
