Not Tropeworthy: Series Minus Series Core

Series Minus Series Core has only a very small number of examples listed. Among the few examples:

  • Blue's Clues Minus Blue: Link is dead.
  • Square Root of Minus Garfield: Only a very small number of strips are "minus" anything.
  • Peanuts Minus Snoopy, Lucy Peanuts: Both dead, the latter having no updates since 2008.
  • Calvin Minus Hobbes: Dead, has only three strips.

In short, there are just way too few examples of this for it to be tropeworthy in my opinion. The only inbounds are "see also" links and one on an Analysis of Johnny Test.

tl;dr: There's no "meat" to this trope, and it's too obscure to be a thing. Garfield Minus Garfield covers the entire territory.

Declining to open.

The fact that series that were examples are dead doesn't make them not examples.

Nine separate examples is enough.

You give no reason why this isn't a trope.

Looks like it needs more love, not to be removed.
