6	From [[LongRunners 1993-2002]], ''The Parking Lot is Full'' was the comic strip love child of artist Jack [=McLaren=] and writer Pat Spacek. Starting as crude little strips published in their university newspaper, the comic quickly took on a life of its own, eventually becoming one of the most popular and infamous comic strips on the internet. After nine years of ups and downs, the creators decided that they'd said everything they wanted to say, so the comic was wrapped up and all the toys put away.

8	This joke-a-day webcomic show a very dark sense of humor and is very macabre. It still remains one of the best old-school webcomics ever made and is definitely worth a try.

15	!! This webcomic provides examples of:
16
17	* AbusiveParents: The "It's Goofy time!" strip, which shows a boy shuddering in horror when his dad shows up wearing a WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} mask and holding a belt.
18	* AllHailTheGreatGodMickey: An inversion. Disney characters, including Mickey, are actually gods of Atlantis, as evidenced from sunken statues in one strip.
19	* CerebusSyndrome: For years the comic was a BlackComedy with no continuity, thus little empathy to the characters. The last months were a storyline with CharactersDroppingLikeFlies and betrayal everywhere. This included skeletonized arms of puppeteers.
20	* DadaComics: Loaded with BlackComedy.
21	* DisobeyThisMessage: Provided the trope picture until it was found [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1566855591036265000 violating the rules]].
22	-->'''The banner:''' QUESTION ALL AUTHORITY\
23	'''A man:''' Why should I?\
24	'''Comment:''' Just remember. You're unique. Just like everyone else.
25	* DontMakeMeTakeMyBeltOff: The father in the "It's Goofy time!" strip has a belt in his hands, about to deliver "Goofy time" to his son.
26	* ImAHumanitarian:
27	** [[http://j.aufbix.org/plif/archive/wc039.gif Eat your teacher's brain]] to pass the algebra exam.
28	** Clone yourself to eat nothing but yourself.
29	* LittleKnownFacts: A RunningGag. The comic is even finished with it.
30	-->Little-known Fact #6875:\
31	There has never been a comic called “The Parking Lot is Full”.
32	* MonsterClown:
33	** A recurring character used as the comic logo. He also appears in the [[http://j.aufbix.org/plif/archive/wc299.gif last]] [[http://j.aufbix.org/plif/archive/wc300.gif two]] strips.
34	** There also were several [[http://j.aufbix.org/plif/archive/wc050.gif murderous clowns]] that looked more normal.
35	* NonIndicativeTitle: There is no mention of parking lots.
36	* ScarsAreForever: Which makes them the best souvenir to [[http://j.aufbix.org/plif/archive/wc044.gif purchase]] in Disneyland.
37	* ShootingSuperman: [[http://j.aufbix.org/plif/archive/wc023.gif Gallows, actually]].
38	-->You can't kill Superman by hanging him.\
39	Remember that.
40	* SpotlightStealingSquad: The "Rocko & Socko" storyline completely takes over the strip for the last year.
41	* StoryArc: That one about sock puppets wrapped the webcomic up.
42	* UnusualEuphemism: An abusive father yells, "It's Goofy time!" while wielding a belt in his hands. His son's reaction says it all.
43	* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: [[http://j.aufbix.org/plif/archive/wc032.gif Jellokinesis]], a rare mental power to make jello wobble.
