Faux Pas (pronounced Fox Paws) is a webcomic by Robert and Margaret Carspecken about the adventures of the red fox Randy and the other Green Mountain Studio Animals. Most of the animals have been trained by humans; Randy himself is an actor who has appeared in ads, TV shows and movies.Many story arcs deal with the result of Randy's sheltered upbringing; he's innocent and gullible, can't avoid traps or track scents, doesn't eat his fellow animals, and has no idea how to treat Cindy, the wild vixen he has a crush on — or Dusk, the less scrupulous wild vixen who has a crush on him.The webcomic has a strong continuity, so reading through the archives will help you understand the current story lines. A new comic appears every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.Most of the cast has picked up a lot of human characteristics, even though they are portrayed at least semi-realistically. Myrtle, a hen who can write in English (in chicken-scratch, natch), can't type (though she can hunt and peck) and is addicted to television, particularly soap operas. Arthur, an intellectual horse who wears glasses and panics when anyone tries to ride him. Stu and Eddie (rabbits) plus all of their offspring — the humans didn't know Eddie was a doe. Mighty Thor, a wild mouse who comes to the barn for recompense after someone (Dusk?) eats a member of his family. Kira, Toast and the other barn cats and kittens. They love to play with Randy, which usually involves tying him up or turning him into a giant ball of yarn. Cocky, a cockatoo who can speak Human. Unfortunately it's mostly in French.Then there are the animals outside the studio: Cindy, the wild vixen Randy has a crush on; she's slowly adapting to living in a human-made environment. Dusk, another vixen, Cindy's cousin and rival. Ricky and Al, two raccoons who were former residents of an animal center and once paid a visit to GMSA. Ricky has dreams of a career in musical theater; Al is more grounded. Birdy, a bluebird friend from Cindy's childhood. Vert Lin, a mostly-useless mole whom Myrtle admires as a wise guru. April, Randy's sister from Australia (with kits Amber, Ember, and Leaf). Trapper, a male fox who believes he has a claim to Cindy because they knew each other as kits.Humans leave the animals mostly alone, although Randy has done some acting jobs for them. The animals can't communicate with the humans beyond Myrtle's very bad handwriting and Cocky's very bad translations, although all of the domestic animals understand English.Being produced by two professional writers and illustrators, the webcomic and artwork are of great quality. It is suitable for all ages, and contains occasional references and quotes from TV shows. As of March 2022, the archive contains about 2600 comics.Now has a barebones character page.Not to be confused with a, well... faux pas.

comment
Kangaroo Pouch Ride: At some point in her life in Australia, April enjoyed a jaunt in a kangaroo pouch, as is referenced here. Her kits ask Brisbane the wallaroo for a ride, but April corrects them, telling them that only females have pouches.

Heroic BSoD: When Stu tells two of his sons, who have a crush on Dusk, that their brother Fluffy has moved in with the vixen here, they stare off in dazed shock with mouths agape. The reaction is apparently contagious once the news is spread around to their siblings as seen here and here.

Tempting Fate
 Faux Pas (Webcomic) / int_15b2cab3
comment
Tempting Fate: A very common occurrence in the comic. Myrtle has an internal monologue here in which she notes two difficult situations that have just occurred and wonders what else could go wrong. Immediately after she thinks about the possibility, she sees an out-of-control Arthur the horse dash past, carrying one of the farm's new owners, who unwisely tried to ride him. This strip also provides an example. Stu and Randy are discussing a pair of problematic recent occurrences when the former mentions that Dusk turning up would just add to their difficulties. She in fact does so as he speaks. In this comic, Dusk complains that her scheme to prevent Randy and Cindy from mating is falling apart. When she dashes outside to try and stop them, Dusk says "What else could go wrong" — and it starts snowing.

Faceplanting into Food: In one story arc, Randy has been heavily sedated to ease the pain of his burned feet during a commercial shoot. He's still feeling the pain-killer's effect here when he returns home and falls asleep face first into his water dish.

comment
Green-Eyed Monster: Initially, Myrtle sees Cindy as a rival for Randy's attention, to the point where she refers to herself as his fiance here, even though she's a chicken. She later shifts into matchmaker mode, however, inspired by the soap operas she watches and a desire to interact maternally with fox kits.

Brutal Bird of Prey: A hawk who calls himself "the Slayer" tries eating Stu, and in a later arc goes for one of Randy's kits, and unlike any other predators in the comic has no sympathetic traits. Luckily for the animals from the strip he targets, he's a conceited doofus and a less-than-competent hunter.

Carnivore Confusion: One of the driving tropes of the comic. Wild vixen Cindy has to learn to live among critters she would normally think of as food, while human-raised Randy has no predatory instinct at all and thinks eating a mouse is roughly equivalent to murder. An example is seen here.

Noodle Incident When Randy is in the barn recovering from being doped up, and Cindy and Toast go out to try and find Stu, the cats see it as an opportunity to play with Randy, as such opportunities have been hard to come by now that Cindy's living in the barn. When next we see Randy here, he's inside a giant ball of string. We don't see how he got there. Whatever happened the last time Randy and Myrtle visited the zoo, the zoo animals were ready to murder Randy on the off chance Myrtle was with him. Referenced a few times here.

 Faux Pas (Webcomic) / int_3f064a0d
comment
Humans Are Morons: Whenever humans get involved with the plot, they're usually doing something that causes trouble for Randy and the animals, but usually out of incompetence rather than malice. First there's the very hands-off approach shown by the farm's new owners, which forces the animals to rely on Myrtle more. Then there's the humans in the productions Randy and Cindy wind up playing in, where they do rather foolish things all over the place that range from dyeing the foxes blue to getting Randy's paws burnt on a hot car hood. Finally, there's the Animal Wrongs Activist who thought it was a good idea to take Randy, who'd suffered the aforementioned burnt paws, and 'set him free' in the middle of the forest while he was still doped up on pain meds.

Ambiguous Gender
 Faux Pas (Webcomic) / int_4510b368
comment
Ambiguous Gender: Occurs with some frequency. Justified since most of the main cast are animals without strong sexual dimorphism. Randy appeared as Miss April on a wildlife calendar, referenced in this strip. Eddie is a female rabbit, mistaken for male by the humans who named her. When she and Stu started a family (as of Week 314, they have 53 kids) the secret was out, but 'outside' animals still mistake her for male. Cindy's brief modeling career plays with this trope. She was mistaken for Randy (a male fox) and brought over for a commercial shoot here. As the folks making the ad thought she was a male fox, they decided to make her look as feminine as possible.

Alien Gender Confusion
 Faux Pas (Webcomic) / int_4b6d41e3
comment
Alien Gender Confusion: Cindy (a vixen) is taken to a commercial shoot in Randy's place in the week 60, day 3 installment. The studio honcho mentions to the handler that the shot calls for a "foxy lady" but that "Randy" is a male. The cosmetologist is told to work her "makeup magic" to turn Randy into a girl fox. The cosmetologist makes one careful observation, then reports, "This is a girl fox." The honcho replies, "Great work, Essie. Take a bonus out of petty cash." Poor Cindy can only look at Essie as if to ask, "Are all humans this cuckoo?" Seen in this strip.

comment
Not What It Looks Like: Miscommunication is a theme of the strip, so it's fairly common for, say, Cindy to be doing something completely innocuous and have it misinterpreted as attempted murder. (If Dusk is around, she often 'helps' this along, just for fun).

Sapient Eat Sapient: Even birds and field mice can talk in this setting, making Randy's reluctance to hunt his own food understandable. But he doesn't object to prepackaged chicken cutlets or Lamb 'n' Rice Medley, so he either hasn't thought it through or he has no qualms about eating meat he hasn't personally met.

Feather Fingers: Myrtle is sometimes depicted with feathers that resemble fingers, which are used as such. She is able to use a typewriter, a pen, and a TV remote, among other things. Here, she's seen holding a pencil. In this strip, Cocky is shown using feather fingers to Face Palm while drunk on beer.

Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Female characters have long eyelashes. Justified since they're animals and there's no sexual dimorphism in the species (rabbits, cats, foxes) which the major characters are. The vixens have a little mop of extra fur on their necks, making it look a bit like they have human hair. In addition, Dusk's fur pattern makes her look like she's wearing eyeshadow.

 Faux Pas (Webcomic) / int_82ff8b68
comment
Artistic License – Animal Care: Quite a bit, though a lot of it can be justified since the owners don't seem to do much of anything so it's the animals themselves who are doing the caring, so they have to make do with what they can manage on their own (and in some cases bad decisions are directly called out). One instance that can't be justified is a strip early on wherein Cindy eats half a carton of rocky road ice cream here. The indigestion from so much dairy would be bad enough. Throw in the chocolate and Cindy should have died or at least gotten extremely sick as chocolate is poisonous to canids — especially since she was recovering from both a cold and a cold medicine overdose.

Interspecies Romance: A cat and a raccoon both express carnal interest in Dusk the fox at one point. Later, when Dusk holds a competition for which male fox would be her mate, her long-time companion and attempted Morality Chain Fluffy the rabbit "wins". Fluffy later notes that it is hard for him to find a rabbit girlfriend; others of his species see him as a demon due to his large size and smelling like Dusk, prompting his father to ask why, exactly, Fluffy would have Dusk's scent on him.

Privacy by Distraction: Eddie sends Randy on the classic "go boil a big pot of water" errand in this strip when his wife goes into labor. Myrtle gets sent off in the next comic.

Virginity Makes You Stupid
 Faux Pas (Webcomic) / int_8e13262d
comment
Virginity Makes You Stupid: Randy has no idea about non-human sex. He thinks sex and romance work the same with animals as with humans, and his "knowledge" of human sex comes from soap operas. No one has the heart to sit him down and set him straight. Confirmed in the strips that take place after Randy's "wedding," where he is far more level-headed and able to serve as the voice of experience for Naïve Newcomer Hubert.

Reference Overdosed: A compact expression of this trope occurs here when Randy chases Dusk off the farm with a tranquilizer gun. It turns out he's sleepwalking while mildly under the influence of pain killers — and while doing so, woozily references TV westerns, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, and Superman in rapid succession.

Evil Is Sexy: In-universe, several of the young male bunnies including Jon, as well as Al the raccoon, find the trouble-making vixen Dusk to be very fetching. Al refers to Dusk as being an "exceedingly hot psycho-vixen" in one strip. Even Thor the mouse expresses sexual attraction to Dusk, saying, "Thor must admit — for a monster, she was one hot mama!"

Betty and Veronica: Cindy is Betty (by far the nicer of the two females, very considerate of Randy) and Dusk is Veronica (a sly, manipulative troublemaker who foists herself on an unwilling Randy. She is also darker tinged than Cindy). The bunnies and the cats even use "Mary Ann" and "Ginger" in coded reference to the two vixens here. Randy does too, confiding once to Stu here that "Ginger" is way too scary.

Uncertified Expert: Played with here when Brisbane becomes ordained as a cardinal (complete with a mitre) by a sketchy ministry. He even gets what appears to be a Phony Degree that reads "Doctor Brisbane. Master of Divinity. Et Tu Latinus Plurum. First Angler Congregation Missouri Ministries of the Uniquely Divine Bass." Turns out it's another one of Myrtle's foul ups — all the wallaroo wanted was a St. Louis Cardinals baseball cap! Nonetheless, Brisbane presides over the dual wedding of Randy to Cindy and Jon to Penny.

Ascended Extra: Toast starts off as a nameless member of the "cat herd" but eventually becomes integral to the storyline. He actually makes quite a few appearances before his name is revealed, 20 weeks or so after his debut. Penny began as a nameless child of Stu and Eddie, who became a semi-regular thanks in no small part to the fact that she's got a future mate, Jon. (Penny is the oldest daughter). Fluffy, the oldest child of Stu and Eddie, eventually began to make more and more appearances, especially since he has become Dusk's Morality Chain, traveling companion, and friend.

Fish out of Water: Cindy is a wild fox who comes to live with Randy and his animal friends on a farm. She finds adapting to such a life challenging, often misunderstanding elements of the human world and erroneously thinking their names refer to food or similar things as in this strip. She eventually adjusts well to her sheltered existence. Conversely, whenever Randy ventures out into the wild, he finds it hard to adapt. Gullible and innocent, he grew up in captivity from his earliest days and is a semi-retired actor for TV commercials and the like.

 Faux Pas (Webcomic) / int_b0bce7aa
comment
Selective Obliviousness: Randy's innocence about sex is complicated. At first he appears to be completely ignorant about the facts of life. Later, he seems actively resistant to learning about it. Ultimately, it is revealed that Randy does know about "the birds and the bees," but all of his knowledge comes from human entertainment — so he's not so much "completely ignorant" as "completely wrong". The last issue is seen in this strip, when he says "Well, after the wedding and the reception, we'll go someplace pretty for awhile. Then we kiss a lot, and snuggle and — you know... sleep... Then somehow the stork finds out about it, but I'm not clear on that part... "

Cunning Like a Fox: This trope runs the full gamut with the various fox characters. Dusk fits the dark side of this trope — a manipulative, sly troublemaker not above using skullduggery to get what she wants. Cindy and April fit the more positive aspects of the trope. They're plenty clever, but not mean spirited. Randy utterly inverts this trope. He's a naïve and clueless Butt-Monkey, though it's justified in that he hasn't lived in the wild. Also on the inversion side is Hubert, a clueless Naïve Newcomer who makes Randy look like Nick Wilde.

Unlucky Childhood Friend: Trapper to Cindy here. Dusk tricked him into trying to impress Cindy by exploring the furthest mountain he could find. By the time he met her again she was already pregnant with Randy's kits.

Chaste Hero: Randy personifies this trope. He knows he's attracted to Cindy, and that the feeling's mutual, but is completely clueless in the ways of courtship — he still believes babies come from storks as seen here. This changes: He now has kits.

Big "NO!": It's Toast's turn to "play" with Randy, but he wouldn't dare do so with Cindy around. When he's told Cindy is heading to the woods, he gets excited because he's been waiting forever, but he lets out a big "NOOO!" when told that Randy's going with her here.

Horrible Judge of Character: Myrtle has no clue regarding Dusk's malevolent intentions. The fact that Dusk likes television is more than enough for Myrtle to think she's just peachy. She even gives the vixen pointers on how to snag Randy for herself (it doesn't go well). Randy's sister April appeared to be leaning this way, thinking Dusk would be a better mate for Randy than Cindy here — but she later revealed she had Dusk's number a long time ago and was just playing along.

Shout-Out
 Faux Pas (Webcomic) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Here and here by the cats, of all characters to Star Wars, of all things. The first example shows two cats reenacting an exchange from the film between two villains who want to get rid of an intruder, while the second depicts two cats having a "lightsaber" duel using feathers. Myrtle dresses Cindy up like the title character from I Dream of Jeannie in this strip and Elvis Presley here. Later in the same arc here, it's revealed that Randy has a crush on Princess Jasmine from Aladdin. Randy channels James Bond in this comic. Stu hitches an Outside Ride on the car bringing Cindy home from a commercial shoot while singing the main theme from Smokey and the Bandit in this strip. There is a very subtle one during the second car commercial shoot; the crew are shown wearing outfits resembling some of the Scooby-Doo cast. Cocky quotes The Lord of the Rings and Serenity while drunk. Toast sings "Ding-Dong, the Witch Is Dead" from The Wizard of Oz in this comic when he hears Dusk has left the barn — though it turns out his joy is short lived. In this strip, Randy is loopy from pain killers and sings "Sloop John B" by The Beach Boys. While Ricky's practicing his acting here, he holds a head prop of Skeletor from Masters of the Universe. While paraphrasing a famous line from Hamlet, no less. The TARDIS from Doctor Who is mentioned here by one of the cats, who wonders if April's sudden move from spring to winter might be a result of its use. After Dusk, still brightly colored from her Humiliation Conga, returns to the farm, one of the bunnies remarks that the new colors make her look "twenty percent cooler", quoting Rainbow Dash almost word for word. Dusk herself imitates Fluttershy's Flat Joy "yay." Randy references Lost in Space in this comic when he says "Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!" Both The Wizard of Oz and Monty Python and the Holy Grail are referenced back-to-back in this story arc here. Both come courtesy of Bruce, who first shouts "Who dares to disturb the great and powerful Bru!??" and then in successive panels "What... is your name? What... is your quest? What... is your favorite color?" The Wizard of Oz is referenced here when Hue closes his eyes and chants, "There's no place like home. There's no place like home." An iconic line from Planet of the Apes (1968) is referenced here. When Toast asks why Randy isn't with Cindy while she's giving birth, another feline references the infamously gory stomach burst scene from Alien here. As a result, Toast decides to go help Randy boil water instead of assist with the birth. "Zecora," a character's name from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, is one of the false names Randy gives for his newborn kits. One story arc has Randy and Cindy's kits showing off what they've learned today — and here, it seems they now know the theme songs to Gilligan's Island, Spongebob Squarepants, and Batman (1966). Stu quotes the catchphrase from the Super Chicken segment of George of the Jungle in this comic when he says, "You knew the job was dangerous when you took it." Randy quotes a line from The Lion King (1994) when telling one of his kits they'll be hunting and eating bugs here. When Toast discovers his tormentor Dusk has returned in this strip, he says "Looks like I picked the wrong day to give up catnip," a riff on lines spoken by Lloyd Bridges in Airplane!.

Unusual Euphemism: When Randy takes Cindy to see his human owners so he can translate what they're saying here, the humans start wondering out loud whether Randy and Cindy will mate and raise a family, which embarrasses Randy no end.

This reassures her (but irritates Randy, who was attempting to explain it correctly with a beach ball and a flashlight). Seen here.

Incredibly Lame Pun: When Myrtle asks Kira where Randy is in this comic, she replies that he is extremely well. It turns out the cats tossed him down a well. When Myrtle finds Randy after looking for him for hours here, Randy says, "I was tied up all morning." Myrtle is furious, saying that Randy had promised he'd be helping her, when they overhear a cat telling Kira that her fox got loose — yes, Randy was literally tied up all morning. A TV commercial for a Caribbean snack food in this strip chains together some horrible puns having to do with Pokémon. Lampshaded later when Randy overhears the cats overusing the words "well", and decides to make a last-minute trip away from the farm. Happens when Myrtle first meets Thor. She can't resist making a lisping joke at the mouse's expense. When an unnamed bobcat happens upon Dusk and Fluffy, he comments on the rabbit's shampoo-infused scent here with a groaningly obvious play on words when he says, "Gee, your hare smells terrific!"

Running Gag: Randy getting tossed down the well by the cats. "Talking about the weather" as a metaphor for sex. Pippi startling Dusk into hitting her head when Dusk tries to sneak into the barn. The various characters expressing dislike when they encounter microwaveable brussels sprouts.

comment
Comically Missing the Point: One of the cats discovers that feathers make Cindy ticklish. He raids Brisbane's feather duster, plucking the plumes and trading them for cat food. One of his prospective customers comments on the cat's business savvy here, but is resoundingly misunderstood.

Department of Redundancy Department: In this strip, Eddie puts together a parenting advice list for Randy and Cindy. The first four items on the list are "Ignore Myrtle."

Beware the Nice Ones
 Faux Pas (Webcomic) / int_fccd06b6
comment
Beware the Nice Ones: Played straight on the one or two occasions we see Cindy as a wild vixen early on. She's an optimistic and personable Plucky Girl, but well aware of her feral background. It takes some adjustment on her part to avoid thinking of Randy's prey animal friends as food. Subverted on one memorable occasion with Randy, who shows up to chase Dusk off with a tranquilizer dart rifle. (He was sleepwalking at the time.) Played straight here, when Randy gets angry because Myrtle mistreats Cindy by conking her on the head with a Bucket Booby-Trap.

comment
Ridiculously Cute Critter: Of all the rabbits, Pippi is by far the cutest of the bunch. She's tiny, sweetly naive, and speaks in a childlike manner. She even manages to get under the cynical Dusk's defenses (calling her "Auntie Dusk" and hugging her), convincing her not to eat the prey animals at the farm. See here especially.

Will They or Won't They?

comment
Will They or Won't They?: The comic is mainly about miscommunication and the ever-so-slow advancement of Randy and Cindy's relationship. When Cindy first broaches the idea of having kits, Randy thinks she's talking about babysitting. (He sure has a lot to learn about nature.) They've finally "eloped" and are now parents!
