comment |
Arthur, King of Time and Space is a humour Webcomic by Paul Gadzikowski. It retells Arthurian Legend, in real time (with occasional timeskips) in several time periods. It ran from 2004 to 2014.When Arthur took the sword from the stone, history itself was altered. Now Arthur exists in several realities simultaneously. The main arcs are the "baseline" or "fairytale" arc (Anachronism Stew 5th century, based closely on Malory and T.H. White); the "space" arc (A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Far, Far Away..., with Arthur as king of British Space, and Excalibur as his Cool Ship); and the "modern" arc (in which Arthur started as an Ordinary High-School Student, before learning he had inherited a controlling share in Excalicorp).The main storyline in all three main settings is the Love Triangle between Arthur, Guenevere and Lancelot. Secondary arcs include the "Western" arc (Arthur as sheriff), the "M*A*S*H" arc (Arthur as Hawkeye Pierce), the "Superhero" arc (Arthur as Superman Expy), the movie parody arc (Arthur as various film characters), and others.Was on sabbatical for six months in 2009, and replaced with Arthur King of Time and Space 2.0. This returns to Gadzikowski's earlier King Arthur In Time And Space concept, in which the comic is crossover fanfiction between two fictional TV series, one about the space-faring Arthur (and very similar to Star Trek) and one about the time-travelling Merlin (and very similar to Doctor Who). A second sabbatical began in June 2011, with the strip being replaced by sketches and concluded in December, the strip resuming after a Time Skip to Arthur being 35.The strip ended on 6 January 2014, owing to real life pressures, after one last timeskip to wrap up the storylines.Became the Trope Namer for Panicky Expectant Father after the News Post pointed out we didn't have it. |

Cool Old Guy: Merlin in any incarnation but primarily the modern day arc, where he's a substitute teacher who owns a comic book store, has an eidetic knowledge for his favorite TV shows, used to be a hippie, agrees to watch Ector's sons on a moment's notice when he's called to active duty, and takes in the orphaned child of some old friends. A close second is the space arc Merlin, who's basically the Doctor. |

Take Off Your Clothes |
| Arthur, King of Time and Space (Webcomic) / int_18733eb2 |
comment |
Take Off Your Clothes: This strip. Also a brief arc in the modern timeline, where Guenevere and her family are nudists. Arthur, Lancelot, and Tristram visit Guenevere while on vacation, and Gwen invites them to nude it up. Guenevere snaps at Lancelot for trying to apologize when he doesn't feel comfortable taking off his trunks-she's too open-minded to brook any notion of feeling bad about your own comfort level. |

Comic-Book Time: Sort of inverted; the characters have aged during the Time Skips, but the contemporary arc is still contemporary, meaning, for example, that Merlin's meetings with Barack Obama were first shifted to Arthur, and now presumably didn't happen at all, since the President is the right-wing Lucius Roman. |

In the baseline arc, the False Guenevere dies of her Incurable Cough of Death, just as she does in the sources. In the space arc, they Human Popsicle her and find a cure many years later. Her contemporary counterpart, Fasha had a scene where she said everything was going dark, and then didn't appear again, but The Hero of Three Faces later revealed that her condition just put her in a wheelchair. |

The contemporary counterpart of Guenevere's identical half-sister, the False Guenevere, is her actual twin sister and is named Fasha, a name derived from Gwenhwyfar's sister Gwenhwyfach in Welsh mythology, who is also said to have a rivalry with her sister, but is not said to be identical. |

| Arthur, King of Time and Space (Webcomic) / int_1e7487cd |
comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Many, many examples, usually indicated by characters being against the blank website background; literally "outside" the regular strip. (A brief sequence in the Lancelot-goes-mad-and-ends-up-at-Carbonek storyline had the court of Carbonek breaking the fourth wall "in continuity".) And again at Carbonek when Percivale, Galahad, and Bors visit. King Pelles starts talking about the cultural (and pop cultural) influence of the Grail Quest stories down the centuries, leaving Bors to remark, "I'd forgotten how free with the fourth wall it can get at Castle Carbonek." |

Themed Party: Arthur's school has a prom with a "My Only Sunshine" theme, and Guenivere's has a prom with a "Fish Under The Sea" theme. This means that the venues are in the characters' color-coding (yellow and blue, respectively), and their phone screens are showing the other's color when they dance together. |

Aborted Arc: Galehaut and his attraction to Lancelot in its modern arc incarnation. In the fantasy and future timelines, he meets his canon fate from the Authurian legends of never having his love reciprocated, then Death by Despair. In the modern arc, it merely comes up once or twice before disappearing forever. |

Animated Actors: In the plain background no-fourth-wall strips the characters are aware of their status as both in a webcomic and as public domain figures, often using this to point out the plot holes and getting called away to star in another comic. Since the background is green, these are called the green room. |

Mythology Gag |

Mythology Gag: In the contemporary arc, Excalicorp have a patent that ensures the snow may never slush upon the hillside. And many to Monty Python and the Holy Grail: In The Lord of the Rings parody arc, the carving in the Mines of Moria say "Beware the drums of uuuh!". The signature scene from the film ensues. After getting a projectile launched at him from behind enemy lines, Arthur notes aloud that for some reason he was expecting a cow. In the Western arc Morgan creates a steampunk giant rabbit robot. Arthur gets very uncomfortable over knights who say "knee" here He's not comfortable with shrubberies, either. Tristram being a woman in a lesbian relationship with Isolde dates from Camelot 3000. |

Reused Character Design: Several character designs are recycled from Gadzikowski's earlier fanfiction comics. Arthur is Kirk with a beard and without a toupee, Lancelot is Spock as a human, and Guinevere's father is McCoy. Merlin is the First Doctor with a Wizard Beard. Galahad is Superman. The irreverent Sir Dinadan is based on Hawkeye Pierce. |

Anachronistic Animal: The webcomic makes Sir Gilbert the Bastard's dog a rough collie for the sake of a Timmy in a Well gag. Modern collie subbreeds only became a thing in the 19th century. (In The Rant, Gadzikowski notes that he didn't know if collies existed in the 5th century, but says it's wrong either way since Gilbert's dog is supposed to be a hunting hound.) |

Painting the Medium: Speech in a different language is sometimes depicted as English written in different font; for instance, Latin is written in Times New Roman (and when Arthur attempts it, his accent is represented with backwards and otherwise malformed letters). Similarly, magical incantations are written in Greek letters. |

Shameless Fanservice Girl: Modern Guenevere, in a rare "realistic display of nudism" and not "heh, nekkid girl" example. She knows about the nudity taboo but genuinely doesn't share it. In an early strip she tries to explain this to modern Arthur in matter of fact terms, but he doesn't believe her — leading the "camera" to pan over to her computer to show that yes, she was actually using the computer in the nude. |

Teacher/Student Romance This is the backstory to Merlin and Morgan in the contemporary arc, as described here. And when Morgan becomes a teacher at the school herself, Arthur is attracted to her, but it's not mutual. (Merlin and Morgan may or may not also have had a relationship in the space arc [where she was his apprentice], but that's kind of expected, and its own trope) |

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Arthur wears yellow, Guinevere wears blue, Lancelot wears red, Merlin wears orange, Nimue wears purple, and Morgan wears green, Tristran wears pink, Pellinore wears indigo. The same goes for the family of each (extended family in the case of Morgan; the Orkneys all wear various shades of green sorted by their loyalties). Oh, and Mordred and Galahad are black and white respectively. |

| Arthur, King of Time and Space (Webcomic) / int_7453bc5b |
comment |
Spared by the Adaptation: In the baseline arc, the False Guenevere dies of her Incurable Cough of Death, just as she does in the sources. In the space arc, they Human Popsicle her and find a cure many years later. Her contemporary counterpart, Fasha had a scene where she said everything was going dark, and then didn't appear again, but The Hero of Three Faces later revealed that her condition just put her in a wheelchair. Arthur himself, depending on how dead you consider Arthur to be in the myths. In the Space Arc, he isn't even wounded when the Ladies of Avalon retrieve him from the Stag King planetoid (but probably can't return to British Space, hence his journey to Avalon). And, again in Three Faces, it's revealed that the contemporary equivalent is Arthur opening Avalon Links Golf Course. |

Home Nudist: In the modern-day story arc, Guinevere and her family are nudists at home, though they wear clothes when they're around other people. She and Arthur first encounter each other as players on a fantasy-themed Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game, and when she casually mentions that she likes online social interaction because you don't have to get dressed for it, he assumes she's kidding. |

Foreshadowing: In one contemporary arc strip when Arthur is still in high school, there's a discussion as to whether a "an ancient warlord [who] lived today instead of a thousand years ago" would become a politician or run a corporation. Contemporary Arthur goes on to become both. Every mention of Excalicorp before Contemporary Arthur learns his destiny. |

RetCon |
| Arthur, King of Time and Space (Webcomic) / int_b2279346 |
comment |
Retcon: In the modern arc, Lancelot used to be Lancelot Benwick, following the pattern that knights who were "of" somewhere in the baseline arc had that as a surname in the modern setting. More recently his surname is Du Lac (because, c'mon, he's Lancelot Du Lac) and Benwick is his home town. More obviously, Bedivere suddenly stopped being female in the space and modern arcs, in order to have a male gay couple. (This has since been further retconned; Bedivere's male, but the earlier strips in which he appeared female are still canon.) Paul Gadzikowski's attitude to continuity is probably summed up here. |

Perspective Reversal: There's a space-arc strip that starts with Lancelot claiming that God made the universe to be perfect as it is, and Guenevere countering that change is good, because it's how things progress. Arthur tells Merlin he wishes they could see things from each others' perspective. The next panel has Lancelot saying that if a certain species is dying it's God's will, and Guenevere responding that on the contrary, things have to be preserved. |

Born Lucky: Lancelot has God's favor, and as a consequence will inevitably win any contest he enters. This extends not only to contests of skill, but to games of chance — Western arc Lancelot does very well at cards — and even bets on events that no human being could influence: Arthur once cured his sea-sickness by betting him he'd be stuck with it for the rest of the voyage. |

Shout-Out |
| Arthur, King of Time and Space (Webcomic) / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: Many of the secondary characters are based on other comic characters, most notably Elaine of Carbonek, who is Helen Narbon. A group of Roman diplomats are based on the actors who've portrayed the Doctor). Merlin's spells are often lines from classic children's literature in Wingdinglish. His insane babble when trapped in the crystal cave resembles that of Sherlock Holmes in "The Adventure of the Dying Detective". In one strip Space Arthur asks Merlin if there's any other groups of people going through the whole "same adventures in different time periods" thing. Behind them Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock is demonstrating the Sherlock Scan to Edward Hardwicke's Watson. In one of Arthur's press conferences, three unseen journalists are named Clark, Peter, and April. And the account of his first meeting with Clark is a Call-Back to the Webcomic Hurricane Relief Telethon, where he is indeed that Clark. In this strip, Elaine's line about "grey. Pinkish grey" is interesting, because while it's totally appropriate for a character based on Helen Narbon, it's also a quote from the Fifth Doctor in "Castrovalva". Excalicorp apparently have a patented process that ensures the snow will never slush upon on the hillside. Homer drawn in the outfit of Homer Simpson. Another reference to Helen Narbon is Sir Nabon de Noir, who looks like male version of Helen, and whose crest is a heart. Galahad looks like Superman. Hercules is Superman. (Merlin's time-travel friends are particularly prone to this.) Sinbad is Popeye. Cinderella is Faye from Questionable Content. King Bran's return in the space arc is a Whole-Plot Reference to the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Space Seed". Sir Segwarides is Inigo Montoya. This is rather fitting if you know his role in the mythos. This strip sums it up succinctly. Many to Peanuts, since Paul is very influenced by Charles Schulz: Merlin's chibi-Arthur is Charlie Brown. Cabal, Arthur's dog, dreams of being Snoopy fighting the Red Baron. Merlin makes another Peanuts reference in his own webcomic here. Although, despite the implication in the final panel, he didn't know Schulz personally. This tribute to Schulz. When the gang attend ComicCon, they're in costume as the Peanuts gang. The beginning of the Roman War in AKOTAS coincided with GoComics repeating the Peanuts strips where Linus is throwing rocks and saying "And This Is for..." Arthur joins in. In the space arc, Beethoven is one of Merlin's time travel friends, and dresses like Schroeder. During Lancelot's wild man phase, he sleeps on top of a hut, while being watched by Snoopy. "I was a knight on the Grail quest once. Then I took an arrow in the knee." |

Improbable Age: The baseline arc follows the legend that Arthur became King of All Britain when he was only a teenager. The space arc follows suit, with mention of a Fictional Age of Majority that makes it possible. Averted in the present-day arc, where the real-life age of majority means that while the other Arthurs are running around sorting their kingdoms out, present-day Arthur gets a few more years of normality before shouldering the burden of guiding Excalicorp. |

There Are No Girls on the Internet |
| Arthur, King of Time and Space (Webcomic) / int_d64480d2 |
comment |
There Are No Girls on the Internet: Everyone, including the readers, assumed modern Tristram was male. This had less to do with this trope and more to do with some of the conversations they had about a girl (modern Isolde); Tristram's chivalrous talk led the others to think "male" instead of "lesbian". |

| Arthur, King of Time and Space (Webcomic) / int_e2023325 |
comment |
Strawman Political: Gadzikowski seems to have made a concerted effort to defy this. Most characters who express political views are given a chance to make reasonable arguments for their positions, even if they're not portrayed as "right". When not having political arguments, many characters with opposing views (Lancelot/Guinevere, Merlin/Morgause) are on good terms and bond over shared interests. |

Art Evolution: In 2012, after considering using the triangle format permanently, Paul developed a lineless version of the regular art style. In-universe, Arthur's Shapes goes from "all characters are different shapes" to "all characters are circles" to "all characters are triangles, just like The Hero of Three Faces". |

| Arthur, King of Time and Space (Webcomic) / int_e4965307 |
comment |
Composite Character: The contemporary counterpart of Guenevere's identical half-sister, the False Guenevere, is her actual twin sister and is named Fasha, a name derived from Gwenhwyfar's sister Gwenhwyfach in Welsh mythology, who is also said to have a rivalry with her sister, but is not said to be identical. In the strip's version of the sequence where Arthur hunts a white hart, has his horse die under him because he rode it too hard, gets another horse from a yeoman, has that horse stolen by King Pellinore, and then meets a prophetic young boy who turns out to be Merlin, the yeoman and the prophet are the same person, because it seemed unlikely that there just happened to be a yeoman with a fresh horse right where Arthur's died (and if the yeoman had been part of the hunting party and kept up with him, wouldn't his horse have died too?) |

comment |
Expy: Everyone in the space arc, mostly because the space arc itself is based on Gadzikowski's earlier fanfics, where mythological figures stood in for characters from popular TV shows. The crew of the Excalibur stand in for the cast of Star Trek: The Original Series: Arthur is Kirk, Lancelot is Spock, Guinevere is Bones, Gawain is Scotty, etc. Merlin is the Doctor from Doctor Who, with Morgan and Nimue acting as his companions. Hercules is Superman (with Iolaus as Jimmy Olsen, Megara as Lois), the heroes of Troy are the cast of M*A*S*H, etc. |

Can't Get in Trouble for Nuthin': In the superhero arc, Kingman gets arrested by Homeland Security. Unfortunately, the legal system is so uncomfortable about actually putting The Cape on trial that he never actually gets to challenge the law itself, which was the goal. |
