Concession (Webcomic)	comment	Concession is a Furry comic centering on a group of movie theatre concession workers.The series originally started out as smart remarks the author Immelmann could never make when they worked at a concession stand, but it gradually evolved into a complex story, with a fair amount of Mind Screw. The plot centers on a rather small cast, the main characters eventually being Joel (the Villain Protagonist), Artie, and Matt.On October 8, 2010, it was announced that the comic was coming to an end. Immelmann cited the often nonsensical and convoluted plot as the main reason. They do have a new stand-alone gag comic titled Ballerina Mafia, which began about a month before the end was announced, and a storyline-oriented comic titled The Order of the Black Dog, which started in April 2012. The final comic was posted February 11, 2011, and a "ten-year anniversary" epilogue was posted in July 2016.

Concession (Webcomic) / int_12dd1d4c	type	Rape as Drama
Concession (Webcomic) / int_12dd1d4c	comment	Rape as Drama: Thonnen Turunen is raped by order of her Evil Matriarch grandmother Rajah Jensen in order to preserve the Turunen bloodline. The rapist, Valae Jensen, only does it because he needs the money to save his daughter, who is dying of an unknown disease. When his daughter dies, he reveals himself to the family elders, Rajah is disgraced, and the family falls apart. In an arc of the author's other comic "At the Heart of It All", Joel is institutionalized for apparent schizophrenia and sexually abused by a doctor. Recent revelations in the main comic show that this is in fact his canonical backstory. Then there's Artie's incident with Chelsie — technically, since Chelsie is a small child with bipolar-related hypersexuality and Artie was in a trance, both of them were raped by Joel, who arranged for the incident to happen. Borderline example, since Artie is clearly traumatized by the incident and it turns out to be related to the Evil Plan, but the deeper implications on his psyche aren't brought up in much detail and it's often brought up again for a gag strip.

Concession (Webcomic) / int_154aa477	comment	Big, Screwed-Up Family: The bloodline-obsessed Jansen clan and the Calley family. Raj Jansen, the good ol' Evil Matriarch of the clan, had one of her nieces raped in order to carry on her bloodline, and... Jesus Christ. Joel Calley is a Satanist with magical powers and one of the most massive and convoluted evil plans ever because his brother Julian murdered Joel's twin sister Miranda when they were kids and took over his late father's company rather than letting his mother have it (or so it seems at first; these particular details are later revealed to be a delusion on Joel's part). The aforementioned father was a religious douchebag, a "Well Done, Son" Guy and possibly an Abusive Parent. The only one who seems anywhere near normal is Lorelei Calley. Oh, wait, she's tried to seduce several of Joel's friends (including his boyfriend, unsuccessfully). Never mind. And none of this is to mention Chelsie's family... or Melusine's... or Kate and Rick...

However, Artie is under the psychic influence of Joel at the time, which probably has a bigger impact on his behavior.

Concession (Webcomic) / int_2439b588	comment	As the Good Book Says...: The comic contains a few religious debates back when Matt is still in the Transparent Closet and Joel is trying to get him to come out. Other than that, it doesn't really get into religion all that much, and the only priest shown seems to be a genuinely good person. He does his best to assuage Matt's gay guilt and warns him about Joel, though the latter has little effect. He also proves to be a Badass Preacher and fights Joel.

Needless to say, said ursine friend is moving to kick Joel's ass when he finds out the truth of Nicole's gender.

By the time the comic ends, it's almost the original comic In Name Only with how little the concession stand has to do with the actual plot. (Naturally, the author is aware of this and stays so in the "About" section.)

In Artie's case, he was being mind-controlled the first time (and the "guy" turns out to be a transgender girl) and really drunk the second time, but then he literally Mind Raped Joel seemingly of his own volition (though Melusine's ghost may have influenced him to do so). Then, of course, there's Thomas, who is described as heterosexual but is shown flirting with men and having sex with his own son. At one point, Rick admits to having gay sex with another fat model, which makes Angie jealous for some reason. This may be related to the fact that the author is also bisexual... or just an extreme case of coincidence.

Borderline example, since Artie is clearly traumatized by the incident and it turns out to be related to the Evil Plan, but the deeper implications on his psyche aren't brought up in much detail and it's often brought up again for a gag strip.

According to Joel, the situation is even worse; he was so traumatised by the death that he was put in a mental hospital. While there, Joel became convinced that their older brother Julian had killed Miranda and their parents thought Joel had done it. Understandably, he's severely messed up by the time the main storyline starts.

Some of them are cases of All There in the Manual; Joel's ex Chloe was introduced in a "Concession Chronicles" blog entry, Zoe, Clarissa, and Clive had this trope lampshaded in their introduction. The fact that "Concession Chronicles" is no longer linked to on the site makes this more difficult, especially for new readers, who don't exactly expect to go searching off the site to read blog posts to catch up with stuff that isn't properly mentioned.

This itself isn't what's troubling, but she displays violent tendencies in her very first appearance by stabbing Artie in the eye with a crayon. She then rapes him when he's too delirious to know what's going on. It's later revealed that her hypersexual behavior is related to a form of bipolar disorder, and she joins a harem of preteen boys run by the practicing pedophile Kate, who specifically seeks out children with this disorder because she believes that allowing them to give in to urges which are already there doesn't count as abuse. The author points out that he knows that it does count, but Kate does not know that or refuses to believe it. Luckily, the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue shows that by the time Chelsie's an adult she's transitioned fully to female and is much more mentally stable under the care of her adopted father, the local priest Father Tim.

Concession (Webcomic) / int_7870735b	comment	From Bad to Worse: Both Artie's current life and Joel's childhood. After all is said and done, both are left feeling empty over how they invested so much effort, destruction, and hatred only to discover that it was for their grandiose self-delusions (though this is the point at which the comic finally takes a turn for the better). Artie's father died of cancer and his mother killed herself after Artie was diagnosed with the same type of cancer. He seemed to get better, but then the cancer spreads to his brain. He suffers blackouts which he thinks are the result of the tumor but are actually the work of Joel, who has decided that Artie needs to be disposed of before his latent powers become a threat to Joel's own powers. He wakes up from one of these blackouts to discover that he had sex with a hypersexual ten-year-old child. He attempts to have a relationship with Kate, only to discover that she's actually a pedophile and is in fact sleeping with the same child, among others. She breaks up with him but gives him money for the operation he needs, during which he is attacked by Joel in the Spirit World. He tries getting help from elsewhere but breaks a major taboo of his new friends' society by impregnating one of themnote they're dolphins and are forbidden to interbreed with land-dwelling species and is apparently involved in the fire which burns their whole city down. Joel, meanwhile, watched his twin sister murdered by his older brother when they were very young, and their parents assumed that Joel did it. He was put in an asylum, where he was sexually abused by a doctor, and released back into the outside world while still unstable. His father then left the entire company to his older brother, leaving Joel with nothing, which motivated him to become a mass-murdering psychic manipulator to take back his company and make his brother suffer. Then Artie brainwashes the older brother into giving him the company and reveals that Joel's twin sister wasn't murdered — Joel is legitimately insane and delusional. Joel and Artie have a climactic final battle using their literal inner demons, with Artie winning and on the verge of mind-raping Joel into realizing what a monster he has become, only for Matt to call Artie out on his holier-than-thou hypocrisy and how not so different they are because of his girlfriend's Sanity Slippage caused by his actions.

Oddly enough, a couple of randomly generated characters end up as recurring or even major characters, most notably Nicole. Immy's ex-boyfriend Quetzadrake uses the same generator for his own webcomic, Furthia High.

Father Tim warns him to stay away from Joel, but he doesn't listen. Later, in the first true battle, the anti-religious Joel casually walks into a confession booth and confesses his sins (murdering families, forcing a friend to commit pedophilia, etc.) before trying to kill Father Timothy with his alluded-to dark spiritual power. Oddly enough, the Father also has great spiritual power, and they fight to a psychic standstill while separated by the confessional wall.

Concession (Webcomic) / int_c868a42a	comment	Freudian Excuse: Joel Calley has about three Freudian Excuses: he was treated harshly as a child by his father and his brother, said father left their company to his older brother Julian, his sister Miranda was killed by Julian when they were young, and their parents blamed Joel for the murder and put him in an asylum where he was sexually abused by a doctor and then released before he was ready to face the outside world again. There have also been a couple of throwaway gags which, if taken too seriously, could imply that his mother resents him for not being a girl. If there was a trope for Freudian Sue, Joel would probably be the poster boy. However, much (if not all) of this is ultimately subverted when it's later revealed that Miranda actually died in her sleep and that Joel was never "blamed for Miranda's death" but was rather driven mad by grief and by Miranda's ghost, who encourages Joel's sadism so that she can feed on the resultant suffering. In addition, Joel willingly helps her (albeit due to her manipulating his memory), and when confronted about this, Joel immediately notes that his and Miranda's real motives are to gain power.

Concession (Webcomic) / int_e0c470a1	comment	The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: If you follow the secret game (see Nightmare Fuel on the YMMV page), you will receive notes from Father Tim about Miranda's monstrous nature. Throughout, he warns you that you will feel her presence, such as hearing her breathe in the dark. By the end, she is now inside you and Father Tim begs you to never look into her eyes. DON'T LOOK INTO HER EYES!

Concession (Webcomic) / int_e4f48a7f	comment	The "Fun" in "Funeral": During Mariam Jansen's funeral, Roland complains about the boring food: "The old lady may be dead, but my taste buds aren't!" When a guest says that she wants to say to her "ey, c'mon now... Just get up already...", Angie shouts "That's what SHE said!" — Roland high-fives her, and Thonnen is visibly angered. Things take a turn for the dark later as that night Roland's clothes get stolen somehow, leaving him naked outside, while Thonnen is raped to continue the family line.

Concession (Webcomic) / int_f3d5d15f	comment	Creepy Child: Chelsie Warner appears to be a cuddly anthropomorphic lamb-girl in a pink dress. On her first appearance, she stabs Artie Crowley in the eye with a crayon. Shortly thereafter, she has sex with him when he's too delirious to realize what he's doing. When he wakes up, he is horrified not only because of what he's done, but because "Chelsie is actually a boy." It's recently been revealed that Chelsie's hypersexual behavior is related to a form of childhood bipolar disorder. She became significantly less creepy with proper medication and hormone treatment, after being adopted by the local (quite definitely non-pedophilic) preacher. The "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue shows her in her late teens, fully transitioned, apparently recovered from her unfortunate past, and calling Father Tim "Dad".

Concession (Webcomic) / int_f61cddc9	comment	Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!: Word of God is that furry/human segregation has only been stopped in the past decade, and they still don't interact much ("Yeah, for most humans it's a bit of a culture shock. Not to mention the allergies..."), but they show up sometimes. A human customer at the movie theater claims to be there to "pick up some fine, fine pussy", and then reveals his girlfriend to be a guinea pig. ("You were expecting—" "A cat, yes, would have completed the joke...") Joel's mother Lorelei is annoyed that her boss, the mayor, is human, and says that she half-expects him to "chain me up in the backyard".

To add insult to injury, it's all for naught — the end goal of his Evil Plan is to gather enough spiritual energy to overwhelm his older brother's powers, but his brother actually has no powers whatsoever.
