Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Precocious is a Furry Webcomic by Christopher J. "Chrispy" Paulsen that stars a rather large group of "superintelligent" children who live in two separate neighborhoods, and who just happen to be anthropomorphic canines and felines. The main characters are known for being completely (but lovably) insane in one way or another. Not very serious, but very funny, the comic is about those children/mad scientists in their everyday lives.The comic is presently on indefinite hiatus.Read it here. | |

Hands-Off Parenting | |
| Precocious / Web Comic / int_184e7708 | comment |
Hands-Off Parenting: Bud's parents. His dad spends all his time in the basement working on art and hydroponics, while his mom is always in the city managing the apartment complexes she owns. As a result Bud is a much better cook than either of them. It gets to the point where Autumn even forgets at one point that he even has parents. | |

Only Sane Man: Kaitlyn Hu. Her time spent observing the others has built up remarkable insight into the social dynamics of the class. She employs this to great effect starting in this strip. The ensuing conversation provides her with justified time in the spotlight. invoked Although Kaitlyn is the Word of God entry in this category, Max has played the role from time to time. | |

Furry Confusion | |
| Precocious / Web Comic / int_27a40541 | comment |
Furry Confusion: One of the many reasons Chrispy made all the characters either cats or dogs was to avert this. The comments for 'Normal Clothes' raises this point; when Principal Blessure decides to dress up as Cruella DeVil it was theorized that in the Precocious world that the movie is about a woman who kidnaps children (of a specific race) in order to skin them and wear their pelts. In the real world, family movie; In a furry world, horror movie. | |

Limited Wardrobe | |
| Precocious / Web Comic / int_2a7e7af1 | comment |
Limited Wardrobe: Most of the cast. Bud has his jeans, black vest, and wifebeater. Tiffany her green dress with a smiley-face pin. And Autumn with her Catholic schoolgirl outfit (their school doesn't have uniforms, she wears it to make people underestimate her), though she sometimes wears a tanktop and sweatpants in summer. Used to effect when the kids are assigned to study each other. Each one dressed in the subject's usual attire. Which explained the relative cold open of seeing Jacob wearing a schoolgirl uniform (and standing by a box of blackmail). | |

Noodle Incident | |
| Precocious / Web Comic / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
Noodle Incident: Whatever the Sapphire kids did preceding their hiding out at Kaitlyn's birthday party. One by one, supporting characters learned the details in tiny whispers indecipherable by the audience. Or how about the time they set the lake on fire? Almost all of the children's unseen escapades are treated as Noodle Incidents unless the joke or plot specifically requires otherwise, as well as a wealth of Noodle Implements in play when their schemes have yet to come to fruition. Subverted with Tiffany's aging. Strip 893 presents the accident that halted Tiff's aging as a Noodle Incident, but strip 896 provides an explanation. The "Orlando Incident" showed that the adults are not free of this trope. Heck, there are so many Noodle Incidents in the comic that it's even addressed in the FAQ! | |

Butt-Monkey | |
| Precocious / Web Comic / int_47fea76b | comment |
Perhaps even more telling is its treatment of the children who aren't evil. Jacob is a sweet, caring young boy who is so kind and selfless that his being selfish or mean for a change has been a punchline unto itself and there was even an arc about it. He's the strip's resident Butt-Monkey, who is constantly hurt and never really treated with respect. Max is even nicer. He seems oblivious to the existence of bad or evil in the world. He's considered kind of strange by the rest of the kids, and although respected for his abilities, he's also frequently manipulated by the others or resented for the consequences of his Incorruptible Pure Pureness. The moral of the story? Children are evil, and those who aren't will end up used or mistreated by those who are. | |

Children Are Innocent | |
| Precocious / Web Comic / int_91672d3e | comment |
Children Are Innocent: Averted. Most of the children in the main cast are each evil in their own special ways. Special mentions go to Autumn (who uses this trope to her advantage; she even wears a schoolgirl outfit in order to heighten people's perception of her innocence) and Dionne (who takes great pleasure in crushing the souls of others due to her lack of one). Perhaps even more telling is its treatment of the children who aren't evil. Jacob is a sweet, caring young boy who is so kind and selfless that his being selfish or mean for a change has been a punchline unto itself and there was even an arc about it. He's the strip's resident Butt-Monkey, who is constantly hurt and never really treated with respect. Max is even nicer. He seems oblivious to the existence of bad or evil in the world. He's considered kind of strange by the rest of the kids, and although respected for his abilities, he's also frequently manipulated by the others or resented for the consequences of his Incorruptible Pure Pureness. The moral of the story? Children are evil, and those who aren't will end up used or mistreated by those who are. Jacob's become more and more like his friends as time's gone on. He's still rarely the instigator of the evil schemes, but he's proven more than happy to take part in the planning of the group's immoral activities. The newest member of the class, Ursula Xane, is even more of a straight example than Max, having been raised in isolation by parents who have carefully controlled her knowledge of the outside world. She's so innocent that in one Copper Road strip, she actually believes Fox News Channel's claim of being "fair and balanced." | |

Chrispy explains in the comments, "The movie consists of a static shot of an aquarium, with people constantly walking up behind it, looking weird, clutching their heads and falling over. The soundtrack is a really slow version of Yakity Sax." | |

Yvette's two moms are a Granola Girl and an Amoral Attorney. She has a lot more in common with her birth mother, the hippie. | |

Ascended Extra: Kaitlyn Hu was referred to by Chrispy as the central character of another strip. That other strip (Copper Road) , featuring her and the other side of the class, was eventually made. Expanding on this, Kaitlyn and her Copper Road friends (Yvette Nutley, Quincy Wozwax and Vincent Iddenstein, plus one of Yvette's moms, Candy), have all risen in prominence in the main strip. | |

Body Paint | |
| Precocious / Web Comic / int_e1f90397 | comment |
Body Paint: The comic has one of these somehow. Except that when the model, Sydney Oven, arrived, the painter, her future husband, used her as the BRUSH. Her opinion? 'How many other families are able to hang a nude portrait of the mother over the dinner table and get away with it?' Said to...the parents of her son's classmates. | |

Throw the Book at Them | |
| Precocious / Web Comic / int_e2de05e8 | comment |
Throw the Book at Them: The show features Autumn (and some other Poppinstock Academy kids) being teased by an off-screen kid. She mocks his pretty lame insults, and suggests that "Maybe a dictionary will help you!" Since it's being described on this page... And a reference to the sticks and stones bit too: "Your words have hurt me." | |

Art Evolution: Compare Strip #1 to Strip #28. See a difference? Good. Now look at an even later strip, like #87. Big difference, eh? An even more dramatic comparison is at the bottom of this page. It later regresses, at least in detail. In chronological order: eliminating color strips altogether; eliminating almost all backgrounds or inanimate objects; positioning all characters at the same depth (with few exceptions). Color is back, for now, thanks to a fan contributor. However, now backgrounds seem not to be as much of an issue anymore, and there's even some varied perspective. | |

Exact Words: Autumn offers to wash the dishes. She did not say anything about washing pots, pans, silverware... Later, Bette orders the kids to run one mile(approximately), but forgets to specify they do it in the designated track. As the other kids dash away, Max notes that they are following directions... approximately. | |

Would Hit a Girl: Max is probably the only one who Wouldn't Hit a Girl, and that's more from not wanting to hit anyone. The rest? An early strip shows one detail of the Big Ball of Violence as Bud popping Autumn in the jaw with an uppercut. Even the beauty pageant queen Dionne will dive in when sufficiently angered. | |

Running Gag: When Bud encounters Roddy, he often says "Roddy! What are you doing here?" And boy, does he spin it and spin it - until it is spun right back at him, at long last. Running gags involving Autumn and her family include jokes about her family reproducing via cloning and library science. In the "internEt" mini-arc, Rule #4 (first introduced in this strip) has become a running gag and is regularly used in the comments section. | |
