Goober Grove is a comedic webcomic created by artist Jasmine Wright. Started in 2020, it follows the (mis)adventures of the titular Goobers as they live out their lives in a Grove in West Virginia.The main trio consists of: Razzlyn, the gold-and-cyan goober. She's a quirky artistic type, but also the most level-headed of the group. She likes pottery, spaceships, and death metal. Georgetta, the green goober with a head shaped liked a rabbit-ear TV. She's a Street Smart sweetheart, and likes reality television, magazines, and string beans. Rosco, the frog-like maroon goober. He's energetic and rascally, and enjoys hockey, shoe-shopping, and arson.The series can be read here.

Moon Rabbit: Georgetta, a character with rabbit-like ears, is from the moon as a nod to this trope. She complains to her parents that she's stuck eating moon rocks while the neighbors are pounding mochi.

Ripped from the Headlines: One strip has Razzlyn and Georgetta comment upon the Seuz Canal obstruction. Georgetta suggests that a second boat should block the Panama Canal, leading to Rivalry as Courtship between the two boats. In other words, she's shipping.

All There in the Manual: Several details about the characters and setting are revealed in the author's Twitter posts, including some that haven't yet appeared in the comics. For example, Dr. Masimasi is bitter divorced lesbian, and Razzlyn has an older sister named Dazzlyn.

Breaking the Fourth Wall: In this comic, Rosco holds an ice cream cone so tall that it extends to the panel directly above it; Razzlyn, in said panel, notices and reacts to it.

Only Sane Man: Dr. Melicity Masimasi, Georgetta's veterinarian. When she points out that Georgetta's "dog" is actually a pelagic siphonophore and Georgetta replies with "they don't like being told their life is a lie!", Dr. Masimasi resigns herself to the situation: "Stop pretending you understand things, Melicity. Reality will forever perplex you."

Humorously downplayed. While most characters have retained their Limited Wardrobe over the course of the comic's run, roughly a year after the comic started, Rosco's shirt changed from having the number 15 to the number 16. The shirt is otherwise identical.

Grave Humor: Among the headstones seen when the Goobers go grave robbing are "Beans Sullivan" (1571-2008), "It kinda hurts," "Expired," "Kinda dead," "Ouch! It's not alive," "The Ghoulies" (1954-1987), "Curdled Milk," and "Lil' Chungus". Razzlyn's headstone reads "If she's not dead, then we sure messed up."

Wall of Blather: Seen when Razzlyn criticizes Rosco's failed Wayside reference; her speech bubble covers the entire background of the last panel. She does the same thing when discussing table etiquette with Razzlynette. Happens again when Rosco's asserting he's friends with Ziggy, the convenience store clerk; the various ways Rosco says this fill up the last panel, while Ziggy simply stares back.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall
 Goober Grove (Webcomic) / int_4a3e547f
comment
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: "Sketchy" uses a Stealth Pun based on this concept, Razzlyn notices Rosco stealing a can of soup, and asks him what he's doing. He tries to defend himself, but Razzlyn remarks that he looks sketchy, only for him to retort that she looks sketchy, too. This occurs at around the same time as an Art Shift where comics were rendered in pencil and paper due to the artist's tablet breaking down. Likewise, when the art returns to being digitally produced, Georgetta comments on feeling refreshed "as if the artist got a new tablet" (which she claims is a common saying on the moon).

The Smurfette Principle: Parodied with Razzlynette, a pink version of Razzlyn who has eyelashes and lipstick to indicate her being Razzlyn's designated love interest. The joke is that Razzlynette is deliberately a Satellite Love Interest with no real character of her own outside of her infatuation with Razzlyn... who's already a complex female character.

Unusual Chapter Numbers
 Goober Grove (Webcomic) / int_61321e1
comment
Unusual Chapter Numbers: Decimal points are often used to designate "Goober Grove Mini" comics with a simplified art style that occasionally interrupt an ongoing story arc. For the first Hourly Comics Day, these were used in tandem with letters for each new comic. The second Hourly Comics Day utilized letters again, but without the decimal point. Comic #040 is skipped over, due to the Razzlynette storyline being an Aborted Arc. The comic skips straight from #039 to #040.5, a "mini" comic made for Lesbian Visibility Day.

Self-Imposed Challenge: In-universe. Georgetta tries to speedrun Rhythm Heaven... which is a rhythm game, so it can't actually be "speedran" in the traditional sense. Her strategy is just to arrhythmically mash the buttons.

Art Shift
 Goober Grove (Webcomic) / int_912b24c4
comment
Art Shift: For a period starting with "Sketchy", comics were rendered in pencil and paper and colored digitally, due to the artist's tablet breaking down. With the appropriately titled "New Tablet," the style shifts back. Another occurred during Hourly Comics Day, where the characters adopted monochrome color schemes to match their speech bubbles, and backgrounds were drawn simply as lineart, a change made to make drawing a new comic every hour actually plausible. This style would later be adopted for interim "Goober Grove mini" comics and subsequent iterations of Hourly Comics Day. "Last Time on Goober Grove" is drawn by Rosco, adopting sloppy and simplistic lineart combined with Crayola colors. The comic is similarly attributed to Rosco (with help from Jasmine Wright).

Embarrassing Tattoo: Rosco gets one, which he later regrets so much after a scolding from Razzlyn that he cuts his hand off. He's fine, though.

Shout-Out

comment
Shout-Out: In "Tattoo", Rosco gets a tattoo of a potato on his hand in reference to Wayside School. Razzlyn, a fan of the books, points out he flubbed the reference (the original tattoo was on the ankle). Later on, Razzlynette gets the exact same tattoo in the exact same place, giving Razzlyn an exasperated reaction. The title of the strip that this occurs in is "Tattoo Tooie". "Speedrun" features Georgetta playing Rhythm Heaven Megamix, with the screen showing a Goober-fied version of the Tap Trial minigame.

Art Evolution: The character designs for the goobers started out Super-Deformed, with huge heads and small bodies, but gradually leveled out into more humanoid proportions. In the process, the overall artstyle became a bit more round and three-dimensional.

Webcomic Time: Generally averted, as the comic progresses in real time. Razzlyn was born on October 4th, 1999, and that day's comic in 2020 involves her turning 21. It is played straight in a couple instances where a comic is a direct follow-up to a previous one, such as "Buried Alive" and "Razzlynette".

Comically Missing the Point: Georgetta seems prone to this, a notable example being when she names a star after herself. Razzlyn points out that the "star" she pointed at is actually Venus, only for Georgetta to claim it isn't anymore. Rosco, as well. Upon hearing the news that Razzlyn turned 21, he exclaims that this means she can be elected to most public offices in Minnesota (the goobers live in West Virginia).
