is a furry Slice of Life webcomic, written by Fox (yes, that's his real name) and drawn by Mandy. In it, their author avatars reenact various funny moments from the author's real lives. Given that they're both characters (hah!), this winds up much, much funnier than the description would indicate.Curtailed includes examples of:
- Art Evolution: While the art has never been bad by any means, it's definitely improved over time.
- Author Avatar: The two main characters, right down to using the author's real names (well, Seley is actually Mandy's last name).
- Barefoot Cartoon Animal: The entire cast, though being a Life Embellished comic, shoes do show up more frequently than other works that play this trope.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: Especially when you're talking to Fox.
- Bullethole Door: In this comic, Fox accidentally chops down a tree with an M4. Now, consider that the comic is tagged "really happened."
- The Cameo: Since this comic is still young, these are just beginning to add up.
- Fox got one in The Whiteboard here.
- Fox and Seley's friends and colleagues have begun to show up as well. For example.
- Fox got one in The Whiteboard here
- Compensating for Something: Having that many "manly" bumper stickers on a car would ordinarily qualify as testosterone poisoning... if the car in question hadn't been a Prius.Seley: ...Little insecure about that great gas mileage, champ?
- Cool Car: Fox's 2013 Dodge Charger Pursuit.
- Crossover: The kids from Precocious showed up for a story starting with this strip. Chrispy, the author of Precocious, returned the favor by featuring Fox and Seley starting with this strip.
- Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Fox's "
Nintendo Reflexes" sure come in handy when he drops a package. When he drops a sharp knife, however... - Don't Fear the Reaper: Especially this one.
- Don't Sneak Up on Me Like That!: In the very first strip.
- Fanservice: Suggested by a fellow comic artist at a convention that Fox and Seley attended.
- Foe-Tossing Charge: Fox gets himself and Mandy to their panel here.
- Funny Animal: Everybody. The main cast and all of the guests and cameos.
- Furry Confusion: Illustrated in this sketch, in which an anthropomorphic rabbit magician pulls a non-anthropomorphic rabbit out of a hat, only for the hat-rabbit to give the magician-rabbit a death glare.
- Goofy Print Underwear: Acording to the rant in this comic, Fox really does own heart-print boxers.
- It Makes Sense in Context: Here, Mandy gets a text message that just reads "Cocks" from her mom. This is in a comic tagged "really happened". You have to read the news section to find out that mom happens to be a fan of the South Carolina Gamecocks.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Mandy swears that the real Fox isn't as much of an asshole as the comic makes him out to be. It's just that, when he's not being an asshole, he's not being funny, so those moments tend not to make it into the comic.
- Life Embellished: They're careful to tag each strip so you know exactly how much embellishment went into it. Those strips tagged "really happened" could almost fall into the category of journal comics.
- My Eyes Are Up Here: Gets gender-flipped when a woman is checking out Fox's armor.
- No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: Yes, Fox, running around a job fair in your boxers will definitely get you noticed.
- Patriotic Fervor: Parodied in 'MURICA
- Puppy-Dog Eyes: Attempted, and failed.
- Slice of Life
- Testosterone Poisoning: Fox tends to buy fireworks from the "Banned in Most States" section. One of these completely vaporized a Boston Cream cake (although it wasn't quite powerful enough to completely vaporize the plate).
- Verbed Title
- Wacky Marriage Proposal: Just witness this incredibly geeky proposal from Mandy to Fox.
- Wait for Your Date: It's played with in the Friday 12 February 2016 installment, where the married couple Mandy and Fox race each other to get cleaned, prepped and dressed to go somewhere. Fox won via supplementary panels showing an animesque Transformation Sequence.
