7''Positivity'' is a [[GagPerDayWebcomics Gag-per-Day]] StickFigureComic by "Manga"[[note]]Known as Tropers/MangaManiac on this site[[/note]] that mainly either parodies certain works and phrases or does something painful to its cast. While a lot of the comics are standalone, there are certain recurring characters:
8* Two guys, in which one of them wears a hat and frequently suffers some sort of absurd injury or blow.
9* Some guy in a wizard hat, who regularly engages in psychopathy.
10* Another guy who wears a top hat, [[AuthorAvatar and represents the author]].
11
12The comic is located [[http://positivity.thecomicseries.com/ here]] and is hosted by Platform/ComicFury, but is also mirrored on two forums that the author goes to.

14----
15!!This webcomic contains examples of:
16
17* AltText: Most comics have these, but there a few where the author forgets to add it.
18* AuthorAvatar: The guy with a top hat is one, and is used to express the author's feelings and some generic jokes.
19* BilingualBonus: [[http://positivity.thecomicseries.com/comics/34/ "Greek"]] contains the phrase "Su gamo ti mana", which roughly translates to "I fucked your mother". Thus explaining why the poor fellow got in trouble when his friend told him it meant "Thank you".
20* ChristmasEpisode: The aptly named [[http://positivity.thecomicseries.com/comics/15/ "Christmas Special"]], which mocks ''Series/EastEnders''.
21* GlassesPull: Mocked in [[http://positivity.thecomicseries.com/comics/31/ "Glasses Pull"]]. A giant robot is destroying the city, so a man walks away, buys a pair of sunglasses, walks back, puts them on, and then takes them off to say "'''Oh bugger'''".
22* HitlerAteSugar: Referenced in [[http://positivity.thecomicseries.com/comics/28/ "That Certain Card"]]:
23-->'''#1:''' Hey, what do you think of my new haircut?\
24'''#2:''' You know who else had hair? ''Hitler''!
25* NakedPeopleAreFunny: In [[http://positivity.thecomicseries.com/comics/pl/173782 "People"]], the only punchline is that the character is naked, and a lampshading thereof.
26* {{Nosebleed}}: Mentioned by name in the title of [[http://positivity.thecomicseries.com/comics/25/ "Nosebleed"]]. Someone in a green top sees someone leaning over and gets one, and then spends the rest of the comic questioning why they didn't [[AmbiguousGender get a boner or become moist]] instead.
27* SelfDeprecation: [[http://positivity.thecomicseries.com/comics/25/ "Nosebleed"]] has a character who's not sure what gender they are.
28* ShoutOut:
29** [[http://positivity.thecomicseries.com/comics/15/ "Christmas Special"]] parodies ''Series/EastEnders''' big dramatic {{Christmas Episode}}s.
30--->"There's something you should know. I'm pregnant. ''AND YOU'RE THE MOTHER!''"
31** [[http://positivity.thecomicseries.com/comics/23/ "Valentine's Day"]] contains a reference to ''VideoGame/FableIII'''s Arthur, who goes around leaving insulting letters to people.
32--->'''Guy:''' What's this? A secret admirer?\
33''[reads letter]''\
34'''Letter:''' Dear Bob, You are a smellyhead. Yours sincerely, Arthur.
35** [[http://positivity.thecomicseries.com/comics/29/ "Wright"]] contains a reference to ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'', wherein the AuthorAvatar dramatically shouts objection and thus gets forbidden to attend the school's debate club.
36** [[http://positivity.thecomicseries.com/comics/30/ "Spirits of Veageance"]] parodies a scene from, as the name implies, ''Film/GhostRiderSpiritOfVengeance''.
37--->'''Roarke:''' I have given you the power of decay. Whatever you touch, shall rot away.\
38''[[[BeatPanel beat]]]''\
39'''Blackout:''' Wait, what if I want a-
40** [[http://positivity.thecomicseries.com/comics/35 "WARNING: Hot Stick Figure On Stick Figure Action"]] makes fun of "Sex is on Fire" by Music/KingsOfLeon. The two stick figures having sex are on fire.
41** There have also been two {{filler}} drawings of what [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Rincewind]] and Literature/SkulduggeryPleasant would look like in stick figure form, [[http://positivity.thecomicseries.com/comics/7/ here]] and [[http://positivity.thecomicseries.com/comics/32/ here]].
42* SpoofAesop: Although [[http://positivity.thecomicseries.com/comics/27/ "Homosexuals"]] contains an actual {{Aesop}} on not stereotyping homosexuals into camp roles, but it's quickly twisted.
43-->"Do not stereotype gay people.\
44Or they will kill you and rob your corpse."
45* StickFigureComic: Of the square body, somewhat clothed version. The artstyle borrows a bit from ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''.
46* ValentinesDayEpisodes: [[http://positivity.thecomicseries.com/comics/23/ "Valentine's Day"]], as its name suggests.
