1''Rich's [=ComixBlog=]'' is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, a {{Webcomics}} blog updated by Rich Morris (author of ''Webcomic/YetAnotherFantasyGamerComic''), and maintained by his wife Hilary Doda.
2
3The output of the blog is diverse, to say the least. Morris is a '''huge''' Whovian, so the majority of the featured comics are FanWebcomics based on ''Series/DoctorWho'' (although he also occasionally posts comics featuring original characters and situations).
4
5If any of this sounds interesting, then by all means [[http://comics.shipsinker.com/ check it out.]]

9!!General Tropes:
10
11* AprilFoolsDay: It's an annual tradition to do a gag page on April 1. The Eleventh Doctor's first "offical" [=ComixBlog=] appearance was an EarlyBirdCameo in [[http://comics.shipsinker.com/?id=589 one of these episodes]], as a matter of fact.
12* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy:
13** ''The Stalker Of Norfolk'': The circumstances surrounding [[spoiler:the death of Amye Robsart]].
14** ''Outrage'': Eric Raymond was actually a Zygon [[spoiler:pretending to be the real Eric Raymond]], and Techrat was an exiled Time Lord.
15** ''A Time To Kill'': Ernst Stavro Blofeld was a Time Lord who stole a decommissioned TARDIS (just like the Doctor), only for it to break down on Earth.
16* BlackBeadEyes:
17** In the ''Doctor Who'' fan comics, the Fifth Doctor, Jamie, Zoe, and the Eleventh Doctor all have black bead eyes.
18** Black bead eyes also show up on Darius in ''House Of Paulus'', on Jon and Kels in ''24fps'', and on Dom in ''Storybored''.
19** Due to the art style, background and faraway characters also have black bead eyes from time to time.
20* CallToAdventure: So far, [[Series/ForeverKnight Janette]] and [[WesternAnimation/{{Jem}} Stormer]] have accepted a ride aboard the TARDIS.
21* ContentWarnings: The ''Doctor Who'' comics have no nudity, but if one of Rich's other comics contains frontal nudity (which happens, albeit rarely), then Rich posts a filler image in its place and a link to the actual image in the text below.
22* {{Crossover}}: Almost all of Rich's ''Doctor Who'' fan comics fall under this category (see FanVerse below).
23* EarlyBirdCameo:
24** Both the Scout and the Eleventh Doctor make their first appearance on the 2012 April Fool's Day page.
25** InUniverse: At the beginning of ''Forever Janette'', we see Tracy Vetter as a regular policewoman who hasn't made detective yet. The Eighth Doctor uses his psychic paper on her to gain access to the crime scene she's guarding.
26* FanVerse:
27** All of the ''Doctor Who'' comics ([[ShrugOfGod possibly]] with the exception of ''[[GuestStrip Seeds of Destruction]]'') take place in the same continuity as ''The 10 Doctors''.
28** This fan verse also incorporates ''Series/ForeverKnight'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'', and ''Film/JamesBond''. And it's implied that it also includes ''Series/StargateSG1''.
29* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Frequently crops up in the standard ''Doctor Who'' fashion. In ''Outrage'', Six reveals Jem's secret identity to Rio; in ''Seeds of Destruction'', Five lands on the dangerous planet [[spoiler:Kryn]] instead of in Pasadena; and in ''A Time To Kill'', Ten completely shatters Film/JamesBond's cover.
30* OriginalCharacter:
31** Corporal Beverly Powell, a UNIT historian, becomes the Third Doctor's companion in ''Stalker''.
32** In ''The Eternity War'', we meet a Time Lord called the Scout, who is tracking some Daleks across time.
33* ScheduleSlip: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], since Rich works on and updates the blog in his spare time. [[http://comics.shipsinker.com/?id=640 One comic]] [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] this during one of the blog's longer hiatuses.
34** The 23 Doctors stopped being updated in 2013, and as of 2016 has not been continued. Rich answered to someone who asked that the introduction of the War Doctor and new ideas such as the 11th Doctor being the 13th meant he'd have to change the story, and as two years had passed it would no longer be a 50th anniversary story.
35
36----
37!!''Series/DoctorWho'' fan comics:
38[[foldercontrol]]
39
40[[folder:''Forever Janette'' (crossover with ''Forever Knight'')]]
41The Eighth Doctor lands in 1995 Toronto and investigates a string of bizarre murders. Coincidentally, [[Series/ForeverKnight Nicholas Knight]] is investigating the same thing. There are flashbacks to Nicholas and the Fifth Doctor in 14th Century France.
42----
43* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:Pierre. Poor, poor Pierre.]]
44* ContinuityNod: Under the guise of a forensic examiner, the Doctor mentions to Natalie Lambert that that when he was "called in", he was at [[Recap/DoctorWhoTVMTheTVMovie the Opera]].
45* DeadPersonImpersonation: [[spoiler:The Master has a man named Pierre pretending to be Seigneur Charles Duvallée.]]
46* ForegoneConclusion: Since the story takes place in between seasons two and three of ''Forever Knight'', we know that Nick, [=LaCroix=], Janette, and Natalie will live. Schanke will also survive, but [[BusCrash not for long]]. Also, given how the story ends, it's implied that [[spoiler:Janette [[TheBusCameBack returning to Toronto]] as a human in ''FN'''s third season is a result of the Eighth Doctor's help, and we know that this will ultimately be [[ResetButton doomed to failure]].]]
47* HaveWeMetYet: The Fifth Doctor and Nyssa[[note]](between [[Recap/DoctorWhoS19E7TimeFlight "Time-Flight"]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS20E1ArcOfInfinity "Arc of Infinity"]])[[/note]] run into the Master.[[note]](post-[[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E4Survival "Survival"]], pre-[[Recap/DoctorWhoTVMTheTVMovie TV Movie]])[[/note]] The following exchange occurs:
48-->'''Five''': So, you managed to escape from Xeraphas, did--\
49'''The Master''': Oh, stop. [[Recap/DoctorWhoS20E6TheKingsDemons We've had this conversation before]], Doctor. [[TimeyWimeyBall We're off-phase this time.]]
50* InMediasRes: The story starts out with the Eighth Doctor investigating a mystery in 1995 Toronto, then [[FlashBack flashes back]] to the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa in 1348 France. The narrative goes back and forth after that.
51* RedHerring: Nicholas Knight is investigating doll-sized human corpses when the Eighth Doctor shows up on the scene. Seasoned Whovians immediately suspect that the Master is killing people with his tissue compression eliminator again. Except it isn't him this time.
52* TitleDrop:
53-->'''Janette''': Release me now and I will help you. I will stay with you...\
54'''Pierre''': Forever, Janette?\
55'''Janette''': Forever.
56* TranslationConvention[=/=]TranslatorMicrobes: Played with on [[http://comics.shipsinker.com/?id=314 this page.]] Upon encountering the TARDIS in the woods, [=LaCroix=] sees its signage in Latin, Janette sees it in French, and Nicholas sees it in Dutch.
57* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Expressed by Nick, natch. Also lampshaded by Eight when he talks to Janette at the end of the story, when he points out that she's seeking "an alternative to the crushing boredom of eternity".
58[[/folder]]
59
60[[folder:''The Stalker Of Norfolk'']]
61The Third Doctor takes a UNIT corporal back in time to meet Lord Robert Dudley, Lady Amye Robsart, and [[UsefulNotes/ElizabethI Elizabeth I]]. They also encounter mysterious vapours.
62----
63* ForegoneConclusion: Just read your history books. Also discussed InUniverse pretty early in the story, when the Third Doctor tells Beverly that there's nothing he can do for Lady Robsart's cancer. [[spoiler:By the end, she does die, but it's [[SubvertedTrope because of something else]].]]
64* HaveWeMet: Lord Robert Dudley asks this of the Doctor. They actually ''had'' met before (when the Doctor was in his first incarnation and visiting Elizabeth's coronation), but Dudley shrugs this feeling off.
65* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Lord Robert Dudley, Lady Amye Robsart, and many other people involved in the events leading up to Lady Robsart's mysterious death. All explained in [[http://comics.shipsinker.com/norfolkcast.php this cheat sheet.]]
66* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: The Third Doctor is excited to meet Queen Elizabeth, having just narrowly missed talking to her in his first incarnation, but he holds in his excitement. Beverly, on the other hand, is openly excited to meet ''everyone'' and witness history in the making. So much so, that it nearly gets her into trouble when she offhandedly corrects Queen Elizabeth on a proper quote in a famous Elizabethan speech.
67* PopculturalOsmosis: Rich had to explain in the story's cheat sheet that he did '''not''' do a crossover featuring the cast of ''Series/{{Blackadder}} II'' (Edmund Blackadder II's unnamed [[TheCameo cameo]] on page 18 notwithstanding). The other characters are actual people from the Elizabethan era, [[OlderThanTheyThink believe it or not]].
68* SweetPollyOliver: Beverly's 16th-Century disguise is a male's doublet and tights, as she didn't want to wear a corset and dress. The whole time she's there, people refer to her as a male...but she still goes by "Beverly".[[note]]Historically, the name Beverly was used for men exclusively until the early 1900s when it was used for girls as well. About 1930 or so, it was no longer used for men at all. It actually would've been more anachronistic if they had mentioned it.[[/note]]
69* TimeTravelTenseTrouble: Lampshaded on [[http://comics.shipsinker.com/?id=423 page 10.]]
70[[/folder]]
71
72[[folder:''Outrage'' (crossover with ''Jem'')]]
73The Sixth Doctor and Mel attend a WesternAnimation/{{Jem}} concert in 1988, and the Doctor casually spills the beans to Rio about Jerrica Benton's double life. Meanwhile, Eric Raymond and Techrat discover the TARDIS and set their sights on the Doctor.
74----
75* ArtisticLicenseHistory: On [[http://comics.shipsinker.com/?id=479 page 2]], the Doctor uses the word "email," and Mel has no idea what he's talking about. Except Mel's a computer programmer from the mid-[[TheEighties Eighties]], and the term "email" had been in use amongst programmers since 1982. Rich admitted his mistake in the comments for that page.
76* TheAtoner: The real [[spoiler:Eric Raymond]], who goes back to work for Starlight Studios after being freed.
77-->'''Jetta''': Some kind of infiltration scheme, eh? Break 'em from within!\
78'''[[spoiler:Eric Raymond]]''': Actually no. It's a thing called redemption and forgiveness. You should look it up.
79* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Roxy saves the day by sneaking up on Techrat, getting the best of him, and punching him off the railing, saving both Rio and the Doctor.]]
80* ContinuityNod: Techrat bitterly reveals that the Time Lords banished him to Earth with his memory altered, something that the Doctor reluctantly admits "does [[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E7TheWarGames sound]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS7E1SpearheadFromSpace familiar]]".
81* CrackFic: Who else can have the Sixth Doctor meeting Jem, and have it make sense?
82** That said, it becomes crackier [[FridgeLogic when you realize]] that, in Rich's narrative, ''Jem'' now shares a universe with ''Series/ForeverKnight''.
83* DisneyVillainDeath: Subverted with [[spoiler:Techrat, who gets punched off of some scaffolding by Roxy. He regenerates, ending one of his lives.]]
84* DragonWithAnAgenda: [[spoiler:Techrat.]]
85* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:Stormer finally gets one, after all her time being vilified on both sides, for being with the Misfits, and being the nice one. She does a HeelFaceTurn because of her feelings for Kimber, but her declaration of her feelings is cut short twice, first by Rio, and then by Kimber saying she's going out with Sean and thinks he's going to propose again. Mel and the Doctor find Stormer crying of a broken heart, knowing that her band mates probably won't help the situation and the Misfits will most likely be broken up. Stormer's offered a place on the TARDIS.]]
86* EightiesHair: The most 80s-tastic TARDIS team visits Jem and the Holograms. The comments joked that Rich was feeling the urge to draw lots of hair and getting it out of his system.
87* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:The Misfits team up with the Holograms and the Doctor to stop Techrat.]]
88* {{Foil}}:
89** Techrat, for the Doctor. Just like the Third Doctor, Techrat has been exiled to Earth with no chance for escape. Likewise, just like the Sixth Doctor, Techrat is a temperamental InsufferableGenius. However, the Doctor has always swayed towards helping humanity, and helped UNIT during his own exile; Techrat only cares about his own goals, and willingly helps the Zygons cause trouble.
90** The Misfits, for the Holograms (continuing from the TV show). It's most apparent in the story's two songs: "Behind the Mask" by the Misfits is all about how an ambiguous identity can be used as a weapon; "See Me Rise" by the Holograms is about how dropping a facade will lift a person higher.
91*** This is tied directly into Stormer's arc. In canon, she has a real name (Mary Phillips), and by the end of the story, [[spoiler:she's still using her Misfits nickname and isn't able to tell Kimber her true feelings. Feeling lost, she finds her way into the TARDIS crew.]]
92** Interestingly, the Doctor is a foil for Jem/Jerrica. Jerrica's CharacterDevelopment involves her deciding to reveal her secret identity to the world. The Doctor, who actually ''instigated'' and supported this change, has a mysterious past and true name that he chooses not to reveal. This is explicitly pointed out at the end, [[spoiler:when Stormer calls him on it after he inquires about ''her'' nickname.]]
93* FriendToAllChildren: The Sixth Doctor, to Mel's surprise. He mends Ashley's foot, does a magic trick to cheer her up, and is generally very kind to her throughout the process.
94* FullyAbsorbedFinale: It's a fan crossover work, so it doesn't really count as canon (obviously), but ''Outrage'' pretty much serves as an unofficial series finale for ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}''. To wit: [[spoiler:Rio '''finally''' discovers Jerrica's double life, everyone finds out the truth about Jerrica's father and Synergy, the villains behind Eric Raymond's {{Jerkass}}ery are discovered and defeated, Techrat [[SequelHook regenerates and disappears]], Rio proposes to Jerrica, and Jerrica decides to reveal her dual identity as Jem to the world]].
95* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Stormer, because of her feelings for Kimber.]]
96* LockedOutOfTheLoop: The Misfits originally thought the Doctor was a recording executive who was offering the Holograms a contract. [[spoiler:They find out the truth when the fake Eric Raymond has enough of Pizzazz's attitude, tells her off, and reveals his true form to everyone.]]
97* ManBehindTheMan: The reason Eric Raymond was such a bad guy was because [[spoiler:he was being manipulated by some Zygons. Eventually, they got tired of his incompetence and replaced him with a Zygon [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy disguised to look like him]]]].
98** [[spoiler:As it turned out, the real Eric's dealings with the Misfits and the Stingers was all to slow down the Zygons from getting their hands on Synergy and to protect the Holograms, even though he couldn't make it look like that because they had his sister. At first, the Zygons weren't sure if Eric was doing it deliberately or because he was an idiot, but they became convinced when he sold half of the studio to Riot and the place was swarming with the Stingers' entourage.]]
99* MomentKiller: Rio rescues Kimber and Stormer, interrupting right as [[spoiler:Stormer is admitting her true feelings to Kimber]].
100* RailingKill: [[spoiler:Roxy pushes Techrat over the edge of a scaffold, and he falls to the ground. {{Subverted}} when he [[WMG/TimeLord regenerates]] and runs off immediately after.]]
101* ScreamingWoman: Despite this being one of Mel's defining character traits in the actual TV show, she doesn't scream once during the whole course of the story.
102* ShoutOut:
103** [[spoiler:After Techrat falls to his death, the Doctor goes to look at his body, [[Film/Halloween1978 only it has vanished]].[[note]]Because, to the Doctor's annoyance, Techrat regenerated and escaped when no one was looking.[[/note]]]]
104** [[http://comics.shipsinker.com/?id=534 Page 49]] has a nice little shout-out to the [[http://twominutetimelord.com "Two-Minute Time Lord"]] podcast.
105* SpannerInTheWorks:
106-->'''Mel''': Oh, I'm not worried. I know you've got a plan.\
107'''Six''': Well, I did. But it rather depended on a distinct absence of certain bouffant-haired pop stars.
108* TookALevelInBadass: Mel takes a more extroverted role in this story concerning the action than she's usually known for.
109* VillainSong: The Misfits sing an original ditty entitled "Behind the Mask." This comes complete with an impromptu [[DisneyAcidSequence music video]], per usual for ''Jem''. The Sixth Doctor is flummoxed.
110* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Rich didn't follow up on Ashley's role in the story, even though she was there when [[spoiler:Jerrica finally reveals that she's Jem]].
111** He also doesn't follow up on the Stingers, who will be coming home from tour to find themselves [[spoiler:without a recording studio and business partner.]]
112* WhatTheHellHero: Mel to Six, after he reveals Jerrica's secret to Rio.
113* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: The Doctor wants to know what kind of a name "Stormer" is. Stormer wants to know what kind of a name "Doctor" is. The Doctor abandons the point.
114* WordOfGod: ''Jem'' creator Christy Marx left a friendly (albeit brief) message in the comments section on [[https://web.archive.org/web/20100820231349/http://comics.shipsinker.com/?id=480 page 3.]]
115* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: With the Doctor's TARDIS within his reach, and Synergy's power source in hand, [[spoiler:Techrat remotely gasses the Zygons. Then, when the Zygons try to escape, Stingers Sound goes kablooey—-Techrat had rigged it to explode if the Zygons attempted to leave Earth without him]].
116[[/folder]]
117
118[[folder:''Seeds Of Destruction'' (written by Landry Q. Walker)]]
119Peri wants to visit a garden in Pasadena. The Fifth Doctor doesn't, so he takes her somewhere else. Naturally, they run into trouble. This story was written by Landry Walker as a pitch for a Fifth Doctor audio adventure.
120----
121* {{Cliffhanger}}: This story ends on one, as the author had originally developed the script as a Big Finish pitch.
122* DamselInDistress: "And do you know what we do with damsels?" "YES SIR! WE SAVE THEM SIR!"
123* GuestStrip: Rich did the artwork, but the story was written by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landry_Walker Landry Q. Walker.]]
124* PlantPerson: Five and Peri find themselves running from [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombified]] versions of these.
125* WhamLine: "[[spoiler:This is the planet Kryn. And these are the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS13E6TheSeedsOfDoom Krynoids]].]]"
126[[/folder]]
127
128[[folder:''A Time To Kill'' (crossover with James Bond)]]
129Donna and the Tenth Doctor meet Film/JamesBond and blow his cover by accident. Meanwhile, in 1973, Blofeld captures the Master, and one James Bond rescues another James Bond. And elsewhen, yet ''another'' James Bond visits a nightclub.
130----
131* ActorAllusion: Or the fanfic equivalent. [[Creator/PierceBrosnan Brosnan]]!Bond meets with [[Film/GoldenEye Jack Wade]] at a nightclub to deliver a disc that comes from someone named Film/{{Mitchell}} (who Jack doesn't like). Wade was played by Joe Don Baker, who also played Mitchell.
132* BigDamnHeroes: [[Creator/SeanConnery Connery]]!Bond swoops in and rescues [[Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService Lazenby]]!Bond from some goons.
133* CelebrityParadox: Donna opines that Ten is "all James Bond" with his tuxedo and fancy gadgets; a page later, Ten runs into his old friend, James Bond. Ten later explains to Donna that Bond exists both as a fictional character ''and'' a real person, and can get around this because his name acts as a PerceptionFilter (see below). Still, we don't know yet if the Bond series' actors are the same in this universe as they are in ours; if so, then it becomes an incredible recurring case of IdenticalStranger.
134* ContinuityNod: The Misfits' song "Behind the Mask" from ''Outrage'' is heard at the beginning of the story. The Doctor wonders where he's heard it before.
135* DistractedByTheSexy / MaleGaze: Donna's dress.
136--> '''Donna:''' Between [the sonic screwdriver] and your trainers, I'm amazed they let you in here.
137--> '''Ten:''' I know. Security seemed to be distracted by something...
138* {{Foreshadowing}}: On Page 013, Ten mentions the [[Series/StargateSG1 SGC]]. Rich not-too-subtly hinted in the page comments that there's going to be yet another ''Who'' crossover to that effect sometime later on...
139* FictionAsCoverUp: Bond's franchise, and apparently a few others as well...
140--> '''Ten:''' Clever, isn't it? Your immediate reaction: it's a movie, so it can't be real.
141* MeanwhileInTheFuture: The plot jumps around from the Tenth Doctor and Donna's time (with Craig!Bond), to 1973 (with Blofeld, Delgado!Master, and two other Bonds), to Brosnan!Bond's time.
142* NoticingTheFourthWall: Apparently the Doctor has.
143-->'''Ten:''' Even I had a TV show once. Got cancelled in the late '80s last time I checked, though.
144* TheNthDoctor: The Doctor and Donna meet [[Creator/DanielCraig Craig]]!Bond, Lazenby!Bond meets Connery!Bond, Brosnan!Bond meets a woman at a nightclub, and Moore!Bond meets the Third Doctor. Presumably, the story will later explain whether it's [[WMG/TimeLord regeneration]] or [[LegacyCharacter multiple agents using the same codename]].
145* PerceptionFilter: Bond's name. Ten explains it to Donna: whenever Bond gives his standard "BondJamesBond." introduction, it activates an audio perception filter.
146-->'''Ten:''' When said in a certain way the person hearing it remembers the name and face, but not the details about him. It gets fuzzy. Like a dream you can remember but can't recall the exact details. It won't work every time and it doesn't work on the same person more than a few times. But it's enough to fool a lot of people.
147** Then, to demonstrate, he uses the line on Donna, and she instantly forgets who Bond is.
148* ToBeContinued:
149** The intro ended with the Tenth Doctor and Donna helping a weakened James Bond into the TARDIS while a female sniper looks on. The story eventually picked back up in early 2012.
150** The story took another hiatus starting in late April 2012 after the colourist went on holiday.
151** And it took yet ''another'' hiatus (this time unexpectedly) when Rich's hard drive crashed in September 2012.
152[[/folder]]
153
154[[folder:''The Eternity War'']]
155A Time Lord called the Scout tracks the Rani and some Daleks throughout time, and discovers that (as always) they're up to no good.
156----
157* OhCrap: Pretty much defines the look on the Scout's face when his Time Lord superiors tell him what the Daleks are doing.
158* OurZombiesAreDifferent: The Daleks are using the Rani's serum to make some Type C zombies.
159* SailorEarth: The Scout.
160* TheSixties: The Scout tracks the Daleks to a graveyard in 1968 Pittsburgh.
161[[/folder]]

163----
164!!Other Comics:
165[[AC:''24fps'']]
166* AllAnimationIsDisney: InUniverse, this is what people automatically assume when Eric tells them he's an animator. Naturally, he doesn't really care for the assumption.
167* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Discussed and subverted [[http://comics.shipsinker.com/?id=8 here.]]
168
169[[AC:''House Of Paulus'' / The FVLMINATA Series]]
170* AlternateHistory: ''House Of Paulus'' is based on an RPG called ''[[http://www.fvlminata.com/ FVLMINATA]]'', which takes place in a universe where the Roman Empire discovered firearms and never fell.
171* AmazonianBeauty: Midna. She trains gladiators, she's depicted as quite muscular, she stands a full head taller than the other characters, and it's implied that EvenTheGirlsWantHer [[AmazonChaser because of her muscular build]].
172* MaleGaze: Happens on [[http://comics.shipsinker.com/?id=355 page XLVIII.]]
173* SeriesHiatus: Page 1 of Part 2 (entitled "Circe's Furies") was posted in December 2009. It hasn't been updated since then.
174
175[[AC:''Thursday'']]
176* AffectionateParody: Of B-movies. There are zombies, evil spirits, possession, aliens, teenagers being kidnapped, etc.
177* CutShort: ''Thursday 14'' didn't have an ending, as Rich went on a four month hiatus after publishing the third page.
178* {{Fanservice}}: ''Thursday Horrors'' is pretty {{NSFW}}. The female biker protagonist, for example, spends most of the story in her underwear, and a zombie woman is seen in the buff.
179
180[[AC:''Storybored'' (with Dominic Marco)]]
181* CloudCuckooLander: Stu, if that's his real name. He prefers to be called "Linoleum Teapot" anyway.
182* RealLifeWritesThePlot:
183** When Dom got sick in RealLife, Rich went ahead and did a solo strip about it, and his comic avatar mentioned something about it.
184** When the real life Rich and Dom were separated after their storyboarding project was concluded for the season, they wrote it into the strip.
185* SelfInsertFic: Rich and Dom are the two main characters.
186* TwoLinesNoWaiting: Now that that Rich is done for the season on his latest storyboard project and is separated from Dom, each author is maintaining their separate halves of the strip. Rich is documenting his time away from work and with his kids, whereas Dom is documenting his time at work.
187
188[[AC:''The Fairies of Cottondale Wood'' (with Jennifer Morris)]]
189* LighterAndSofter: Rich calls it an attempt to make a more family-friendly version of ''Webcomic/YetAnotherFantasyGamerComic''. It helps that it's co-written by his 4-year-old daughter.
