Welcome to Candorville, and let Lemont Brown be your guide! He's the senior White House correspondent at a local newspaper and the only White House correspondent, and for that matter, the only reporter the paper can still afford. His only friends are Clyde "C-Dog" Dogg, a sweet-hearted gang type of dubious intelligence, and Susan Garcia, an upwardly mobile advertising executive who's a Horrible Judge of Character. Lemont is filing unsuccessfully for child custody from Clingy Jealous Girl Roxanne, drowning in a sea of credit-card debt, and staying cheerful, and trying to rise to the top.The strip has been running since 1993, and is planned to continue till midcentury. The style is comparable to Doonesbury, but with the personal parts more character-driven and the political parts even less subtle.In 2009, it had its first Out-of-Genre Experience in darkly comedic Urban Fantasy. Rather than committing fully to the new genre, however, it keeps switching back and forth between more realistic and more fantastical content, with results closer to a webcomic than to standard newspaper comics. | |

Either/Or Prophecy | |
| Candorville (Comic Strip) / int_1af921a3 | comment |
Either/Or Prophecy: Parodied. If a vampiress can produce a Dhampyr, which Roxanne managed to do thanks to modern fertilization techniques, she'll lose all the standard weaknesses and the need for blood while retaining all the assets. It's prophesied that she'll someday rule over mankind—unless she gives into her still-existing desire for blood, in which case she'll be returned to normal having gained nothing. "And her APR would shoot up to 29.97%." | |

Oblivious to Love | |
| Candorville (Comic Strip) / int_2848e7d2 | comment |
Oblivious to Love: College-age Lemont thought that Susan's best friend was "just being friendly" during all those hours of laying in each other's beds with their arms around each other; there's also the fact that she named her teddy bear "Lemont Jr" (he thought she was making fun of him) Present-Lemont can't believe he was that stupid. There's also the fact that a whole bunch of girls would hang out by his desk every day. | |

Give Me a Sign | |
| Candorville (Comic Strip) / int_2b9e3fb0 | comment |
Give Me a Sign: Reverend Wilfred sometimes asks for this when he's about to do something awful, and it's always responded to with a blackout. This turns into a plot point when he's deciding whether or not to reveal that the local voting machines have been rigged to elect a corrupt candidate—the machines are of a type that wipes its memory in the event of a blackout, and only Clyde used a paper ballot, voting for a snide rap star. | |

| Candorville (Comic Strip) / int_4d451cc6 | comment |
Old Media Are Evil: Initially, the "Mainstream Media" was anthropomorphized as a loudmouth who always told the truth, but whose most unnerving or sensationalistic statements were represented in larger letters. He was later replaced by an intelligent TV, which retained the same personality and speech patterns. On the other hand... New Media Are Evil: "The Internet" was once anthropomorphized as a tinfoil-hat-wearing paranoiac. | |

Wham Line | |
| Candorville (Comic Strip) / int_4e7c4536 | comment |
Wham Line: All of the above spoilers, and the strip's entire Genre Shift, revolve around two lines from Saxon: "The vampire, Roxanne, is not my lover. She's my mother." Of course, this was rather helped by Saxon's suddenly gaining Milky White Eyes and fangs. The judge admitting that while Lemont hangs out with bad company, her daughter is the epitome of bad company, thus awarding Lemont custody of Lionel. | |

Through the Eyes of Madness: Saxon's explanation of who Roxanne really is. Lemont thinks he's just crazy—until Saxon shows him his Game Face. Later on, Lemont's experiences are themselves subjected to this, since he's the only one who sees the strip's weirder events. Triple subverted, unless Loafer is also insane. The entire cycle of real-not real-real, condensed into four panels. | |

| Candorville (Comic Strip) / int_7a53b67d | comment |
Sinister Surveillance: The NSA is watching Lemont as a possible traitor, and they even spy on his dreams. The agent watching Lemont isn't all that concerned about him, though, and has tried to befriend him, much to Lemont's disgust. (Incidentally, the agent hasn't shown up since Bush Jr. left office.) | |

Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves | |
| Candorville (Comic Strip) / int_8288929a | comment |
Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: Not a traitor to friends, but to an ideal. Loafer's loyalty to his clients is one of his highest virtues. Captured by Roxanne, in order to be freed he "betrays" Lemont (his wording) by calling him and convincing him to give up his custody battle against Roxanne. Roxanne then points out to him that he himself called her evil and untrustworthy. It appears his final words were "D'oh!" | |

The One That Got Away: Surprisingly for Lemont, not Susan but her best friend in college, Sasha. Using dream Time Travel, Present!Lemont tried to get College!Lemont to ask her out during one of their "friendly" snuggle sessions, but College!Lemont choked. Lemont's "farewell" to the relationship they never had seems awfully sincere for a mere comic character... | |

Timey-Wimey Ball: Lemont has interacted with his past self (who he berates for waiting every Christmas for his/their Disappeared Dad who will never return) and his future self. Additionally, Lemont's future self meets Clyde at Susan's place to warn him that, due to Susan's phone not working, she won't get Lemont's call to rescue him in Mexico where he'll unleash a Sealed Evil in a Can that will cause the universal health bill to not pass, inadvertently killing millions without insurance including someone who would have cured death. It's then revealed that Susan's phone doesn't work because Clyde stole it while waiting for Future!Lemont. | |

Ancient Conspiracy: According to a drunkard in Mexico, "La Llorona, El Chupacabra, and Bigfoot have invaded Juarez. They're stealing men's souls and turning the now-empty husks into vicious killers. They're footsoldiers for an ancient... pass the salt." In the next strip, Lemont met La Llorona, so it can be assumed this wasn't just the alcohol talking. | |

You Keep Using That Word | |
| Candorville (Comic Strip) / int_92d7976 | comment |
You Keep Using That Word: Lemont will frequently interrupt strangers' conversations to correct their grammar, much to their displeasure, or miss the point of something entirely because of one misused word. A flashback shows that he's done this since childhood, ignoring An Aesop because of his mom's poor grammar. Currently he's got enough foresight to NOT correct his college crush's grammar, but not the judge overseeing his custody case (he thinks knowing law lingo is endearing). | |

Our Vampires Are Different: While Cajun in origin, they're half Japanese Vampire and half Dracula. Their most interesting traits are Animorphism (wolf form confirmed, bat suspected), Compelling Voice, and several levels of Game Face, ranging from Cute Little Fangs to Looks Like Orlok. They're known to burn in sunlight, and to be sufficiently vulnerable to garlic that they can't enter a field of it (though Saxon lacks both of those weaknesses.) Not Using the "Z" Word: "Copyright issues. Lawyers would get involved." | |

Clyde appeared and informed Lemont that he'd read, and found hilarious, Lemont's story about a guy named Clive who's too stupid to realize when other people are talking about him. A later strip reveals that Lemont's newspaper column is often Life Embellished, and that his Author Avatar and his version of Susan are the Fan-Preferred Couple. | |

Strawman Political: There are three of them, and they all get lampshaded. Notably, the arch-conservative is a Black Republican. | |

Talking to the Dead | |
| Candorville (Comic Strip) / int_e7022a49 | comment |
Talking to the Dead: Played for bleak laughs when, as a result of the above spoilers, Loafer addresses the skeleton of one of his process servers. He asks "Can you forgive me?" and (since he's a lawyer) takes the skeleton's silence as a "Yes." | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality | |
| Candorville (Comic Strip) / int_e8e56799 | comment |
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Roxanne sometimes seems like a case of Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad, and engages in Rooting for the Empire almost any time she watches a film with a villain, but there's always some qualifier behind it. That said, even characters who've commited murder tend to think she's scum. | |

All Just a Dream | |
| Candorville (Comic Strip) / int_ea85d6ea | comment |
All Just a Dream: Lemont has come to the conclusion that the Unresolved Sexual Tension between him and Susan and her relationship with her very unqualified assistant drove him to hallucinate the incident with Saxon. | |

Love Martyr: Clyde neglects and ignores his girlfriend to the point where he's literally unable to perceive her existence except when she's complimenting him, but she is still sticking by him and seems certain that their relationship just needs a bit of work. | |

Appeal to Obscurity | |
| Candorville (Comic Strip) / int_eeaeb6df | comment |
Appeal to Obscurity: Stephen King argues that Charles Dickens's fictional portrayal of slum life taught more people more about the slums than [mumble]'s factual reporting. Lemont, unable to hear him, asks "Who?" King responds "Exactly," and both wind up confused. | |

Dumbass Has a Point: Clyde isn't the brightest guy in the world, but he occasionally makes salient points on systemic racism and other issues, most notably his discussion about the Magical Negro trope and his tangent on Police Brutality. | |

Comically Missing the Point | |
| Candorville (Comic Strip) / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: Look for two characters, in the last panel, going, "What?" "What?" at each other. In particular, Lemont thinks about his reputation solely in terms of how he's thought of on startrektalk.com. He's less angry about being called the reincarnation of Hitler than about someone's saying that his favorite captain was Janeway. | |
