Playing Sick: Miles pretends to be sick to get out of a history quiz at school, complete with using the lamp next to his bed to warm the thermometer. His mom sees through the lie right away, but goes along with it so she herself has an excuse to stay home with Miles and not have to go to several appointments with her husband. | |

Totem Pole Trench | |
Crabgrass (Comic Strip) / int_14a44e40 | comment |
Totem Pole Trench: Played with here; we don't actually get to see Kevin and Miles use this trope, but it is obvious they where planning to considering the things Kevin asks from his mom. Used straight during the Wrestling story arc when Kevin and Miles have to find Miles' dad without letting anyone notice Kevin got his arms stuck in a championship belt. Miles ends up being the bottom half of the totem pole, and Kevin claims it's his own fault since he didn't call dibs. The first person they run into falls for it since he's wearing glasses, thinks Miles and Kevin are a wrestler, and pushes them into the locker room. A wrestler they encounter in there, however, sees through the disguise right away. They use it again in an attempt to get the driver of an ice cream truck to notice them, since they have a feeling he is ignoring kids on purpose. it fails as the truck just rushes past them, causing the boys to loose balance. | |

She sends them to the principal, where Miles, who does not want to miss out on pizza day, reveals the code can be cracked by simply shifting each letter 1 position to the left. | |

Anachronism Stew: The comic is set in the 1980’s, but multiple comics mention Kevin and Miles collecting Pikamon cards, a parody of Pokémon, which originated in the 1990’s. This was later fixed when the comic moved away from being set in a specific era. | |

Disappeared Dad: Kevin's father, Kurt, was originally a (minor) character in the comic, but Kevin eventually revealed that he moved out of the house. He hasn't been seen since. In a a September 2021 arc he was supposed to take Kevin (and Miles) to a wrestling match, but didn't show, something he also did with Kyle and Krystal for their events. As of June 18, 2023, he has been removed from the comics' characters page. | |

The trope namer gets namedropped by Miles, who also shows some Genre Savvy and figures out they likely need to learn some valuable lesson before they can switch back. | |

Crabgrass (Comic Strip) / int_3f4613f8 | comment |
Smart People Wear Glasses: Kevin actively tries to invoke this trope when he is about to take a science quiz he absolutely must ace, by bringing Kyle's old glasses to school in an attempt to get smarter. Despites Miles' warning that it doesn't work that way, Kevin proceeds with his plan, and when he gets an A+ on the test, it only increases his believe that the glasses make him smart. He also starts acting more like a stereotypical smart person, like resorting to Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness in his conversations. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
Crabgrass (Comic Strip) / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: Tauhid originally intended for Kevin to be the source of most jokes, with Miles acting as his Straight Man. Over time however, Miles developed several quirks of his own (like his Comical Overreacting mentioned below) which could likewise be used to set up a joke. Miles initially is named "Curtis" and is called such for a while until a comic where Kevin asks him what his middle name is. Miles reveals that Curtis IS his middle name and Miles is his first name. At this point, Kevin states he's going to just call him Miles now, which Miles has no issue with (as he had picked up a mean "Curtis" based nickname at school), and in all future comics he is referred to as Miles. | |

Friendless Background | |
Crabgrass (Comic Strip) / int_4a57732a | comment |
Friendless Background: Kevin didn’t have any friends before Miles moved into the neighborhood. The only one he used to have stopped hanging out with him when his mother believed Kevin’s family to be too poor, and other kids believed Kevin to be too much of a trouble maker to be friends with. Miles himself also doesn't have many friends other than Kevin and Carla, which becomes evident when his mom challenges him to name 3 friends other than Kevin. | |

Still Believes in Santa | |
Crabgrass (Comic Strip) / int_840603a6 | comment |
Still Believes in Santa: Miles, as proven when he suggests Kevin should ask Santa for a Ninento 16 after Kevin's mom refused. Kevin treats it as a joke first, but soon realizes Miles honestly means it. It kicks off a storyline in which Kevin and Miles discuss the existence of Santa, with Miles claiming that he still believes because as long as he does, Santa will keep bringing him presents. Kevin is eventually convinced, and even gets his mom to bring him and Miles to the mall to visit the local Mall Santa. After this, he tries his best to get on the nice list; he combs his hair, changes his attitude, and eventually writes a letter to Santa. Meanwhile, Gene hopes that Miles will finally stop believing so he can get the credit for getting Miles all those gifts. Eventually, Kevin's mom buys him the game, and Kevin thus believes in Santa again, but since Miles didn't show his letter to Santa to his parents, he doesn't get the game and now believes himself to be on the naughty list. Kevin, not wanting to play the game by himself, give up his own Nintento 16 so he and Miles can have fun. An epilogue to the arc then reveals that Santa is real and, like Miles theorized, defends the world against ancient snow demon hordes. In a december 2023 Story Arc, Kevin and Miles are visited by a elf who has been send to make them stop believing in Santa because they're too old. He even tells them it's important children stop believing in Santa after a certain age because older kids want cooler, more expensive toys which puts a huge strain on the gift production. In the end, it turns out the elf screwed up and thought Kevin and Miles were several years older than they actually were. | |

Crabgrass (Comic Strip) / int_86252e1d | comment |
The Ground Is Lava: In this comic, Miles and Kevin play the "floor is lava" game, and have moved all the furniture around to easier navigate the supposedly lava-covered living room; something Miles's mom is evidently not happy with. In this comic, Miles starts another game, but Kevin, rather than seeking higher ground, instead puts in a Melodrama about how the lava is burning him, which annoys Miles. | |

Humiliation Conga: Kevin suffers one in an April 2021 story arc, in which his attempt to ride a skateboard first results in him crashing head first into a tree, which in turn causes an apple to fall on his head, followed by a beehive, which then breaks, resulting in the bees chasing after him. And when he dives into the water to escape from the bees, it turns out to be filled with leeches. He is forced to take off his clothes to get rid of them. And then he has a run-in with an Angry Guard Dog (by this point, Kevin's face says it all), who rips off Kevin's underwear, forcing him to run home naked while covering his privates with his hands. Once he gets home, he finds the door locked, so he tries to sneak in through the window, where his mom catches him in the act. And to top it all off, when Kevin takes out his frustration on the skateboard that it all started with, he ends up breaking his leg. | |

His mother assures him they would never send him away, which his father confirms...because military school is way too expensive. | |

You Are Grounded! | |
Crabgrass (Comic Strip) / int_962e6260 | comment |
You Are Grounded!: Happens several times to Kevin due to his trouble making and/or his wisecracking. His character bio on GoComics even describes him as Perpetually Grounded. Miles is not immune to this either: He gets grounded himself when Kevin convinces him to try a cigarette, and his dad ends up smelling it on him. And again after his and Kevin's misadventure in the woods. He suffers from it again because his dad didn't like being called out on the fact that the brain is not a muscle. Kevin's reaction sums up the absurdity of the situation: An interesting twist happens when, after Miles is grounded again, his parents realize they too are basically grounded since they have to stay home to make sure Miles sticks to his punishment. This ruins Gene's plans to go play golf. And again after he is caught drawing on his desk at school. The news that his friend got grounded causes Kevin's face to literally fall off. In an March-April 2023 story arc, after Miles and Kevin break Gene's new tv, Miles is grounded for 2 weeks. During this time, he begins to imagine that he is in prison, compelete with an imaginary cell mate, and later he decides to escape the room using a Bedsheet Ladder. | |

The Series Has Left Reality | |
Crabgrass (Comic Strip) / int_9e99d232 | comment |
The Series Has Left Reality: Crabgrass originally started as a fairly grounded in reality slice of life comic about two boys living in a pre-2000 era and getting up in typical childish shenanigans. Then supernatural elements began to enter the comic, starting with Gene's subplot where he encounters a society of living mascot costumes during a September - November 2021 story arc. This was followed by an arc where Kevin becomes a mutant with telepathic powers and a class of superpowered students is brought in to defeat him, an arc where the boys encounter a sentient ice cream truck, and an arc where Kevin and Miles switch bodies. | |

Living Toys: One comic, when Kevin notices the good condition Miles' toys are in, Miles admits he once saw a play about toys being secretly alive and thus takes extra good care of them despite not truly believing they're actually alive. Kevin however has an Oh, Crap! reaction when he thinks of the implications that toys might live. The final panel shows why, as Kevin has been mutilating his toys by gluing random parts together. And the toys are indeed alive, with one of the mutilated toys citing the trope I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, which he can somehow still say out loud despite having no mouth. | |

Thanksgiving Episode | |

Thanksgiving Episode: After her own attempts at a thanksgiving diner go horribly wrong, Janine and her kids spend the holiday at the Wallace house. In a November 2022 story arc, after Gene insults Donna when he claims it can't be that hard to make a Thanksgiving meal, Janine advices Donna to let Gene try it himself. Gene ropes in Miles, Kevin and Kyle to help him, while Janine, Donna and Krystal enjoy a ladies day. The ladies have the time of their lives as they do thinks like laser tag and steal a mail delivery van. At home, as the guys prepare the meal, Kyle of all people shows some surprising Hidden Depths when his first dish is remarkably good, and he claims it's because he secretly likes the cooking shows his mom watches. Gene immediately puts Kyle in charge of preparing the entire Thanksgiving meal. Sadly, as it turns out, just liking a cooking show does not automatically make you a good cook and Kyle messes up most of the dinner. However, when Janine and Donna try to salvage dinner and taste the turkey, it turns out to be better than theirs. Not wanting the guys to know about this, they discreetly throw the Turkey away and swear to keep this a secret. In a 2023 story arc Miles, decides to boycott Thanksgiving as it is all based around a lie. However, he gets no support from his father, mother or Kevin (though Donna is briefly tempted), and his boycott results in him missing out on the Thanksgiving food. On the day itself, he ends up trying to take the turkey for himself, but eats so much of it he immediately falls into a Food Coma. When he wakes up, his mother assures him no damage was done as she prepped enough spare food and even a second turkey. | |

Much to his own dismay as he fully expected Miles to play the trope straight. | |

Crabgrass (Comic Strip) / int_ca95473c | comment |
Series Continuity Error: Donna and Gene discover a drawing from Miles on the wall of their house, which he evidently made when he was much younger. However, this contradicts the first comic of both the original run and the reboot that clearly showed Miles and his parents moving into their current house when Miles was already nine. | |

Tell Him I'm Not Speaking to Him: When Miles and Kevin have an argument due to Kevin's Precocious Crush on Miles' mom, they try to use Krystal as a go between. She is not interested however, and so the boys try it with Kody. It happens again when Miles is mad at Kevin for telling the principal he was the one who drew a tattoo on Kevinnote Kevin didn't intentionally rat Miles out; he was tricked into revealing Miles as the artist, so he uses Carla as a go between. | |

Later, it is revealed that Miles used to have a crush on his 2nd grade teacher, but forgot about it. While Kevin seemingly gets over his crush at the end of the arc, it is occasionally brought up again for a quick joke. | |

Sunday Strip | |
Crabgrass (Comic Strip) / int_d4eda023 | comment |
Sunday Strip: Although the comic was initially not published on a Sunday, it has been featuring these kind of strips since the beginning, with on average every 7th comic being done Sunday Strip style. They're twice the size of a normal comic, and contain a standalone gag unrelated to the current story arc. As of November 14, 2021, they are actually published on a Sunday to boot. Between February 15 and November 28, 2021, they also featured a special header panel, but this was discontinued from December 06, 2021 onwards since Tauhid wanted to conform to the newspaper layout, with a special Sunday panel that’s used for all Sundays and published on the left of the strip. | |

Art Evolution | |
Crabgrass (Comic Strip) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: The drawing style of the comic has changed multiple times over the years. Most notably, Kevin and Krystal originally had red hair instead of orange, Miles had a different hair style, and both boys had rather pointy ears. As of late 2020, the palms of Miles' and his parents' hands are a lighter shade than the rest of their body. After the comic was picked up by newspapers, Tauhid remade several of his earlier comics in the new drawing style. From this point on, Kevin is also drawn with more pronounced buck teeth. As of May 29, 2023, Tauhid shifted to yet another new drawing style.See here◊ for an overview. | |
