Scarlet & Emerald
was a very short lived gag-a-day webcomic created in 2016 by Deathly Taco. It follows the quirky daily lives of the titular Scarlet and her green cat Emerald. Four strips were posted over a single week, then the comic stopped updating.
Note that this comic contains fairly explicit nudity so is NSFW.
This webcomic shows examples of:
- Ash Face: Emerald after accidentally being doused with fire.
- Cats Are Mean: When airing grievances (justified or otherwise), Emerald doesn't hold back, as seen in "Cultural Appropriation" where he harshly berates Scarlet's laziness. He's also generally in a sour mood, reacting to Scarlet's bizarre antics with passive-aggressive snark.
- Cats Are Snarky: Emerald plays the role of the Deadpan Snarker.
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Scarlet. Anyone who enjoys consuming bleach and uses a flamethrower against pantry moths has to qualify.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: Scarlet loves the taste of her breakfast. She really, REALLY does.
- Extreme Omnivore: The debut strip shows Scarlet eating a bowl of uncooked marcaroni as breakfast cereal... with bleach in place of milk. She loves it and doesn't seem harmed by it.
- Fire-Breathing Weapon: Fire in a Can. Technically, it more closely resembles a Molotov Cocktail, but is used like a flamethrower: Scarlet dumps the fire out, as if it were some kind of liquid.
- Fiery Redhead: Scarlet, quite literally in fact.
- Scarlet: FUCK YOU, "THERE WON'T BE KILLING WITH FIRE"!
- Godiva Hair: As a Shameless Fanservice Girl, Scarlet has to have this.
- Hartman Hips: Scarlet is drawn with these.
- Kill It with Fire: Scarlet's solution to a pantry moth infestation. Emerald is less than pleased.
- Lady in Red: Scarlet is shown wearing red in this artwork and has red hair, so naturally she's strong-willed and comfortable in her own skin.
- Living a Double Life: Scarlet is revealed to be an undercover agent of some kind in the aptly named "Secret Agent".
- Meaningful Name: Scarlet is a Lady in Red, and Emerald is a green cat.
- One-Way Visor: Scarlet wears one as part of her agent attire.
- Oral Fixation: Also as part of her agent attire, she can be seen chewing a sprig of wheat.
- Shameless Fanservice Girl: Scarlet never bothers putting on clothes when she's in the house. Exploited in "Cultural Appropriation" when Emerald complains that Scarlet is "day in and day out, lazing around on [her] naked ass like a beached whale,". He's a cat.
- Something Else Also Rises: "Breakfast with Scarlet" shows us that Scarlet has a mushroom growing on her dining room windowsill. When she has her "interesting" reaction to the taste of her food, the aforementioned mushroom has a peculiar response of its own.
- Shout-Out: In "Breakfast with Scarlet", there's a stuffed cat on Scarlet's bed that looks suspiciously like Monokuma from Danganronpa.
- In "Secret Agent", Scarlet mentions seeing a cartoon where a seemingly innocuous pet platypus is actually an undercover agent who fights a Mad Scientist. Seem familiar?
- Spy Catsuit: When revealed to be a secret agent, Scarlet dons a variation of this outfit. It's a red suit that resembles a leotard, and comes with Class A Zettai Ryouiki.
- Talking Animal: Emerald.
- The Straight Man: Emerald typically plays the deadpan, sarcastic voice of reason to contrast Scarlet's Cloud Cuckoo Lander antics.
- Tsurime Eyes: Scarlet's eyes are drawn like this.
