Webcomic / The In Joke

Go To

The In Joke is a small up-and-coming web comic on DeviantArt with the descriptive catch phrase of 'We take those "You had to be there' moments and bring them to you." It is based on real life events and conversation in the artist's life—moments usually understanderable only to those who witnessed them. Thus, they are "inside jokes". Can be found here at The In Joke Or here.

Now has its own website hosted by ComicFury here.


Provides examples of:

  • Ambiguous Gender: Most of the cast has had their gender stated at some point, but the author hasn't confirmed his/her's.
  • Art Evolution: In the earliest strips the characters have very pointy arms and the legs are hardly ever seen. Now the people are more rounded with something closer to actual bodies.
  • Author Avatar: Since most of the material is drawn from life, the author is a regular part of the cast, always portrayed with large, expressive glasses.
  • Homage: The author recently began a story arc based on "A Midsummer Night's Dream" called "Hallucination in June".
  • Sibling Rivalry: The Author and the author's sister cannot seem to be in a strip together without some sort of argument. Not to mention the time the sister shot the author in the face...
