Boomer Express is a humorous Furry comic that focuses on the adventures of two young adult kangaroos and their encounters with various characters, both magical and mundane.Jared and Vikki are two delivery personnel for the titular logistics company Boomer Express, working stiffs trying to make ends meet. Unfortunately for them, fate has other ideas in store and what follows is encounters with mad scientists, sorcerers, demons, giant kaiju death monsters and annoying LARPers. Thank goodness Jared can transform into a dragon and Vikki is a magic user, otherwise those might be serious problems.The comic is frequently loaded with macro and transformation themes. Check it out here. | |

| Boomer Express (Webcomic) / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Jared is shown eating corned beef various times throughout the comic or craving it, despite the fact that kangaroos are herbivores. Jared's parents or to be more accurate, just Jared's mother also mention having a filet mignon dinner ready for them at home during one point in the comic. | |

Arch-Enemy | |
| Boomer Express (Webcomic) / int_32da548d | comment |
A humorously cruel example in book two: Jared, who ends up injured in a hospital, winds up getting Prince John as a roommate through a series of events, with the hostility between them quickly escalating to the point where a fence has to be put in between them. After the doctor informs Jared later on that Prince John is discharged and won't need to share a room with him anymore, the kangaroo is ecstatic. However, the doctor then reveals that the annoying royal will be staying at Jared's apartment since the hospital somehow got papers that say he's the kids legal guardian, leaving Jared in a nearly stunned state of speechlessness. | |

Skewed Priorities | |
| Boomer Express (Webcomic) / int_3d2c6d30 | comment |
Skewed Priorities: Many jokes in the story involve characters focusing on something unimportant during a major or intense event, with the amount of comedy and/or drama varying in each example. When Jared and Vikki escape Kaminovo through a portal and end up in another alien world, Jared doesn't seem to fully grasp how serious the situation is until Vikki tells him his favorite fast food joint isn't anywhere to be found. After Jared ends up in the hospital with several severe injuries thanks to Dr. Von Harris's growing ray experiment gone completely wrong his parents show up for the first time onscreen. Rather than show concern for their sons state of well being, the duo not so subtly berate Jared for not following through their high expectations they'd set in life for him. It's later downplayed since Kaminovo (one of the main antagonists) was really posing as Jared's father in an attempt to kidnap the kangaroo, with Jared's mother forced to go along with it, else something terrible will befall the real Mr. Knight (though based on Jared's reaction, it's not that much of a stretch that his parents would've acted the same if they visited without any demons being involved). | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: After arriving back home in her own world (where it's revealed that less than an hour passed since Jared and Vikki left to make their fateful delivery), Vikki uses some of the magic she learned to save her mom from having a heavy toolbox slam on her head. Rather than being grateful, Mrs. Havencroft (who, along with almost everyone else in this world, has never witnessed such a display of power) ends up freaking out that her daughter apparently knows witchcraft. | |

| Boomer Express (Webcomic) / int_3f0b2f50 | comment |
Make It Look Like an Accident: While in the hospital, Jared tries to get Vikki to help him go through with a plan that involves throwing Prince John (who has ended up becoming his roommate and has been giving him a lot of his usual grief) out a twelfth story window. Vikki and another doctor dismiss it with a bit of humor. Earlier in the webcomic, Jared brings up an incident where a poodle named Samantha Jenkins was injured and left with amnesia near Dr. Von Harris's mansion, with a rumor of foul play behind it. While Vikki dismisses it as a stunt gone wrong, Jared lampshades the trope and believes that the explanation is what Dr. Von Harris wants everyone to believe. | |

Ungrateful Bastard | |
| Boomer Express (Webcomic) / int_3fe2b13f | comment |
Ungrateful Bastard: Prince John has a fair share of these moments towards Jared, simply because he's fully convinced the kangaroo stole the dragon that was meant for him (disregarding the outside circumstances of the "theft" already explained to him). The most notable example could be seen in book two, where Jared lets the exiled Prince stay in his apartment despite their past animosity and the fact that Prince John totally wrecked the place earlier. Rather than appreciate Jared's kindness, Prince John starts to threaten Jared when given some tight but fair rules on how to behave. | |

Why Couldn't You Be Different? | |
| Boomer Express (Webcomic) / int_4623b3bb | comment |
Why Couldn't You Be Different?: Based on Jared's reaction to his parents visiting him in the hospital and berating him for not following their high class, snobby lifestyle, it's pretty obvious he experienced a lot of this trope in his life from them. Even though Jared's father was actually Kaminovo in disguise, it's also safe to assume the real Mr. Knight would've reacted the same. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Early Ashton, a giant 30 foot tall rabbit (with her height courtesy of one of Dr. Von Harris's experiments gone wrong three decades ago) introduced in book two. During her introduction scene, she gives Vikki some not too subtle death threats and enjoys watching her squirm at the mention of other people she made disappear in sadistic glee, but after she is freed from being a soulgem and returned to normal size, it's revealed that she used her giant height to help several others who were in need of aid (like some kids escaping their homicidal father in 1978 being one example) before dropping them off a state or two away. | |

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Vikki has a fear of spiders and shows signs of nervousness at the mere mention of them. The fact that she keeps encountering Winfred (a jumping spider that Dr. Von Harris unintentionally grew and made intelligent) every time she goes near Dr. Von Harris and/or his home probably doesn't help. | |

| Boomer Express (Webcomic) / int_7870735b | comment |
From Bad to Worse: At one point during the "Royal Pains" arc in Book 1, Vikki and Isa walk in on Prince John, who is trying to kill Jared so he can finally get the dragon for himself. Isa blasts the prince with a spell and knocks him out cold...moments before the guards come in and see the aftermath of what happen. The three kangaroos then find themselves in the dungeons for attacking a member of the royal family (thanks to a poor offscreen explanation by Jared) followed by them escaping and being pursued in a nearby forest. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
| Boomer Express (Webcomic) / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: Prince John and his cruel nature are immediately brought up in his introduction scene. When Vikki, Isa and Jared (who has the dragon spirit inside him) arrive in his throne room, the Prince impatiently asks for his dragon. Then, after it's explained to him that he can no longer host the creature and is told why someone else has it, Prince John orders Jared to death without a second thought. Isa and Vikki's shocked and weak objection easily infuriates him, leading the bratty royal to accuse the duo of "treason" and being a part of a conspiracy with Jared that involved stealing his dragon, earning them death sentences as well. When a Deus ex Machina saves the kangaroo trio, Prince John responds by getting all whinny and mopey. | |

Artistic License – Law | |
| Boomer Express (Webcomic) / int_8391b1c7 | comment |
Artistic License – Law: Basically how the law works in "The Terrorists" arc. After Gary and Mrs. Knight get mistaken for terrorists on the roof of a local hospital, a device that emits a video screen is brought out by the SWAT team, with a Judge speaking from the other end. Before Gary can even say a word in defense, the judge just identifies him and Mrs. Knight as the culprits who were caught in the act red handed and sentences them to die by lethal injection before cutting the transmission, forcing the two kangaroos to try and get out through other means while darts full of potassium chloride are fired at them. | |

Bait-and-Switch: Early in the comic, Jared and Vikki stop by at a drive-thru for some fast food. At first, it looks as though the duo are ordering at McDonald's (due to the M arch and the millions served sign). However, it's revealed to the audience and Vikki that the place is really McDonegal's, a place that sells the best Irish fast food in town (according to Jared). | |

Seconds later, Tim then gets flattened by Tiamat (whos soulgem was being powered by Vikki, who he personally tricked into reviving the monster). | |

Laser-Guided Karma: In his introduction scene, Prince John orders Jared to be strung up and left for the ravens to pick clean alongside Isa and Vikki for "stealing" the dragon spirit that was meant to be his. Later on in book two, after coming to his world and pushing Jared too far one too many times with his aggressive behavior, Jared leaves the rotten royal stuck atop a flagpole. A raven then flutters down and asks the prince if he can have his eyes once he's dead, giving Prince John an epic freakout. | |

Faux Affably Evil: Kaminovo and Kyominara, despite being demons, have a sense of humor about their work. However, there are many points in the comic where the duo pose as a legit threat to the main hero's, nearly succeeding in killing them or leaving them at their mercy more than once throughout the story. | |

Red Eyes, Take Warning: More like "white, pupil-less eyes with ominous black fog smoking around them take warning" in regards to Kaminovo and Kyominara. It's especially prominent in the colored-in panels (whether the duo are in their standard appearance or mimicking someones look), though the aspect of the trope still perfectly fits. | |

Sadist: Kaminovo and Kyominara (more often displayed by the latter) whenever they carry out an evil plan towards someone. Prince John has his moments in the comic, usually towards Jared. Early Ashton, an anthro 30-foot tall giant rabbit introduced in book two, seems eager to give Vikki some not too subtle death threats when the duo first meet in the woods and darkly implies with glee that she remained undiscovered due to carrying out said threats on others who ran into her. It's later revealed that some of the people who "disappeared" in her section of the forest were escaping unpleasant situations (like a pair of siblings trying to run away from their pursuing homicidal father), and that Early helped them survive by intervening and secretly dropping them off several states away, with her "victims" then staying under the radar from that moment on. | |

Vikki ends up getting one herself later on, when Adam Barrett beats her in a mock sword duel 3-0, even after the kangaroo uses some magic in an attempt to give herself an advantage. | |

Hope Spot | |
| Boomer Express (Webcomic) / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: During the "Further Preparations" arc it looks as though the main antagonists, Kaminovo and Kyominara, are about to sacrifice Jared to a Precursor and win, with none of the other bound hero's being able to do anything to stop the ritual. Out of nowhere, Tim, a Gholem who was an ally to the two main characters and taught Vikki how to do magic, shows up and pulls a Big Damn Heros move. He manages to save Jared from being impaled and unbinds Vikki and Isa. Vikki then manages to free Jared from the alter amid the chaos and tries to use a spell that Tim taught her to put a permanent stop to the threat. However, it's soon revealed that Tim was working with the two demons and had intentionally mislead Vikki into casting a resurrection spell, unleashing a menacing monster into the world with Vikki herself serving as the unwilling lifeform fueling it. A humorously cruel example in book two: Jared, who ends up injured in a hospital, winds up getting Prince John as a roommate through a series of events, with the hostility between them quickly escalating to the point where a fence has to be put in between them. After the doctor informs Jared later on that Prince John is discharged and won't need to share a room with him anymore, the kangaroo is ecstatic. However, the doctor then reveals that the annoying royal will be staying at Jared's apartment since the hospital somehow got papers that say he's the kids legal guardian, leaving Jared in a nearly stunned state of speechlessness. | |

One of the reporters notices the kangaroo wrapped like a mummy and mentions it, but the other doesn't care, as she's rushing to the sight of the blown up Von Harris mansion to get the news scoop first. | |

I'm Standing Right Here: During one point of the story, Isa and Vicky talk about King Montifort (who they haven't met at this point), with the former insulting him by labeling him a brat and coward like his son. Cue the King himself emerging from the library the duo were passing by, where he harshly yet wittily gives Isa a piece of his mind. The trope is later averted, as it's revealed that the King that spoke to Isa wasn't the real King Montifort but actually Kaminovo posing as him. The real King Montifort was locked in a dungeon at the time. | |

When Tiamat (the first Precursor in the comic) starts smashing through Pah'Slute, one of King Montifort's knights develops a crush on the female Kaiju and asks another knight if the creature is single. After Jared defeats Tiamat in the fights climax, the knight is seen walking away, visibly bummed out that his crush got obliterated. | |

Hate Sink | |
| Boomer Express (Webcomic) / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: Prince John, both In-Universe and Out-Universe, thanks largely in part to his whining and aggressive cruelty towards almost everyone, as well as his habit of being an Ungrateful Bastard who orders many disproportionate retributions at those who did little to no wrong. | |

Bound and Gagged | |
| Boomer Express (Webcomic) / int_eb28ab57 | comment |
Bound and Gagged: Only the former half of the trope is played out on the group of hero's during the "Preparing the Ceremony Arc". After he keeps shouting and throwing a tantrum however, Prince John has the full trope play out on him, courtesy of an annoyed Kyominara. | |

Big Damn Heroes | |
| Boomer Express (Webcomic) / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: Literally in Jared's case, as he turns into a several hundred feet tall dragon when he needs to protect people. | |

Mistaken for Terrorist | |
| Boomer Express (Webcomic) / int_efb8f982 | comment |
Mistaken for Terrorist: Gary and Mrs. Knight end up being accidentally labeled as terrorists who carried out an attack on a local hospital (when in reality it was Kaminovo) in the middle of book two. The Feds who respond are determined to gun them down, forcing Gary to improvise on an escape plan. | |

Product Placement: Jared delivers a box full of Twinkies to Dr. Von Harris in book two. It turns out that the doctor needed the one's with green colored creme to power a growth ray he developed. | |

Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My! | |
| Boomer Express (Webcomic) / int_f61cddc9 | comment |
Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!: The majority of the cast is made up of anthro animals, with humans (who don't even exist in the main characters world) making up the "Oh my!" part of the trope, as Vikki and Jared's reactions indicate when they first get a glimpse of the species in pages 693 and 792 respectively. | |

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good | |
| Boomer Express (Webcomic) / int_f8e010ce | comment |
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: After being defeated by Vikki in book two, the Precursor known as Typhonis asks in a confused tone why she chose to stay and risk her life fighting back instead of taking an easy option to flee elsewhere (as Arroyo conjured up a doorway to another world). Vikki's response (along with a previous comment that she didn't want to leave millions to die at the hands of the Kaiju creature) is that a friend of hers did the same heroic act for her and another world earlier. | |

With Friends Like These... | |
| Boomer Express (Webcomic) / int_fdbd6162 | comment |
With Friends Like These...: In the very first issue of the comic, Gary questions why Jared still considers Adam Barrett (a local raccoon LAR Per who knew him and Vikki since High School) a friend, given how rude he is to him on the job whenever he delivers a package (with Jared also noting in annoyance that Adam is quite forgetful). | |

Pet the Dog | |
| Boomer Express (Webcomic) / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Early Ashton, an anthro 30-foot tall giant rabbit introduced in book two, seems eager to give Vikki some not too subtle death threats when the duo first meet in the woods and darkly implies with glee that she remained undiscovered due to carrying out said threats on others who ran into her. It's later revealed that some of the people who "disappeared" in her section of the forest were escaping unpleasant situations (like a pair of siblings trying to run away from their pursuing homicidal father), and that Early helped them survive by intervening and secretly dropping them off several states away, with her "victims" then staying under the radar from that moment on. | |
