A webcomic done with LEGO figures and roleplaying miniatures, by David Morgan-Mar, an Australian physicist, who also perpetrates Darths & Droids. Full of deliberately bad puns and surprisingly erudite references; one can learn a great deal just by reading the annotations. Despite the name it was updated daily.The comic finished with strip #3198 on October 29th 2011, although weekly annotations continued alongside a re-run of the entire archive, with new annotations for each strip. In April 2015, after a successful Patreon campaign, David Morgan-Mar announced new strips on an at-least weekly basis, which commenced on April 26, 2015; initially just twice-weekly, the comic currently runs on weekdays, with the rerun continuing at weekends. Covers a number of ongoing themes, including: Fantasy: A group of roleplayers guide their party through a quest that tips the hat to Tolkien... before laughing at him. Space: A Space Opera gone bad. Very, very bad. Like Fantasy, also intended to be chronicling the events of an RPG, rather than directly telling a story. With two of the same players, no less. They transpose rather neatly. MythBusters: Adam and Jamie test somewhat more unusual myths than normal (this one crosses over with the Death one, below, a LOT). Steve and Terry: The adventures of a crocodile hunter (no, not THAT one), his long-suffering wife Terry, Dame Jane Goodall, and Cthulhu. Nigerian Finance Minister: The source of all those spam e-mails and his quest to raise money. Funnier than it sounds. Has not appeared since the strip restarted. William Shakespeare: Shakespeare is a Fanfic-writing office worker. Cliffhangers: an Indiana Jones spoof. In a few early strips, this is also an RPG campaign. Espionage: a spoof of James Bond, this time directly following the plot of the movies and with very few crossovers with other themes (and implied to exist outside the rest of the strip's continuity, given it continued as normal when the entire universe was destroyed). Got partway through From Russia with Love, but ended some time before the comic originally finished and only restarted, on an infrequent basis, in December 2020. Imperial Rome: Winner of a reader poll to introduce a new theme, but in practice was too difficult to write jokes for and has not been seen since 2009. Scientific Revolution: An excuse for DMM to write heartfelt annotations about Newton, Halley, Pascal, Pasteur, Linnaeus and their contemporaries. Martians: The attempts of a group of Martians to take over the world, and their encounters with an Ordinary College Student and overly zealous government agent. Pirates: Exactly What It Says on the Tin Supers: A hand-drawn theme featuring the adventures of some superhero RPG characters. Pretty much retired after 2008, as DMM doesn't draw those strips himself and the artist who did could only draw them in his spare time. Stranger Things: The newest theme. Currently following the plot of the first season. Me: the ongoing adventures of the comic's author. This theme has not been revived since the restart. Star Wars and Harry Potter parodies. The former isn't done much anymore, likely to leave some jokes for Darths & Droids (although it was revived in 2019 and has become pretty frequent since then), while the latter is often part of Shakespeare's fanfics.The themes Crossover very, very often in combinations you would not expect.Death is common in all the themes and has its own theme as well. There is not just one Death, but Deaths for different causes, who get moved around depending on job performance. One, Death Of Being Wrestled To Death By Steve, got wrestled to death by Steve. Twice. The favorite death is Insanely Overpowered Fireballs, who has been demoted and re-promoted several times.Can be found hereNot to be confused with Regular Show.There is an accompanying podcast (Irregular Podcast!), which does original material. Number #13 is particularly funny for tropers. | |

Stealth Pun | |
| Irregular Webcomic! (Webcomic) / int_1e7c47ab | comment |
Stealth Pun: Shakespeare in #967 has a chance to occupy "office B down on level 2". Does he want it? A dialog box for "PunGuard 2.1" covers the pun in the comic! It would have been a pun on Hamlet: "2B or not 2B, that is the question." Comic #1996 seems to be setting up yet another hobbit-pun. Lambert doesn't tell the pun, and the annotation links to this very trope page. Only Morgan-Mar knows the intended pun for sure. It might have been "Don't make a hobbit of it", or perhaps "Don't burn the hobbit", a pun on "burn the habit." Another example: in comic #2096, Lambert's hobbit-pun is ruined by a (rather ominous, but that's not the point) cough. Lambert probably meant "hobbit-tat," a pun on "habitat." The Quintessential Fifth Elementalist. Consider the literal meaning of the word "quintessential". | |

Non-Indicative Name: In its original run, the comic actually updated with extreme regularity; even after being resumed, it has (and sticks to) a fairly strict schedule, though with irregular bonus updates. On the other hand, the content is highly irregular (and leaps irregularly between plot arcs.) | |

Artifact Title | |
| Irregular Webcomic! (Webcomic) / int_2b7d29e1 | comment |
Artifact Title: The title originally refers to the fact that the comic is being updated irregularly. Since 30 April 2004, it is now regular. This is even lampshaded in the FAQ page. The Cliffhangers and Espionage themes are, like Fantasy and Space, named after the relevant GURPS genre books, although the RPG elements were soon dropped in the former and never used in the latter. They still make sense, but readers might wonder why those specific names, rather than "Pulp" and "Spies", or even "Montana Jones" and "James Stud". | |

| Irregular Webcomic! (Webcomic) / int_31a2a33c | comment |
Stuff Blowing Up: The line from Excel♡Saga "Explosions fix everything!" could have applied here, since several characters think it might be able to restart the universe, and some are preparing to make things explode. The existence of the character "Death of Insanely Overpowered Fireballs" says a lot. | |

Stable Time Loop | |
| Irregular Webcomic! (Webcomic) / int_37690091 | comment |
Stable Time Loop/Unstable Time Loop: Occurs in almost every theme, often subverted. Of note is the time Serron and Iki Piki's future selves attempt to bust them out of jail. It fails. Their past selves ultimately get their organs stolen, so they end up stealing the organs from their future selves. Then... Timey-Wimey Ball: Things eventually get so bad that the universe gets destroyed.) Death of Inhaling Hatmaking Chemicals collects Jamie after he died of an insanely overpowered fireball, which led to a fight between him and Death of Insanely Overpowered Fireballs. The fight eventually escalated to the point where the Head Death gets involved, and he punishes them by his usual method of demotion and promotion, promoting Inhaling Hatmaking Chemicals to Insanely Overpowered Fireballs. But he does it retroactively, meaning that Inhaling Hatmaking Chemicals is responsible for the last two victims of insanely overpowered fireballs- the first of which was Jamie. | |

| Irregular Webcomic! (Webcomic) / int_3ab4530c | comment |
Crisis Crossover: at the end of 2008, the universe imploded due to temporal paradoxes ocurring simultaneously in most of the themes. The characters all ended up at the Infinite Featureless Plane of Death, but eventually managed to get their respective continuities rebooted. Although they might not have gotten it completely right... Nazis run the world. | |

Temporal Paradox | |
| Irregular Webcomic! (Webcomic) / int_501de366 | comment |
Temporal Paradox: Built up to during the latter half of 2008, when pretty much all the themes started Time Travel story arcs, and eventually a few of those (as well as the Large Hadron Collider) started leading to paradoxes. 5 or so paradoxes occurred, and on New Year's Eve culminated in an "ominously silent explosion". New Year's Day's comic is just a big blank expanse, marked as a crossover between every theme except the "isolated" ones. Later, it was the subject of another crossover arc. | |

Book Ends: Excluding the series of guest strips that followed, the comic itself ended as it began During the overly long "Orcrift Mountains" arc, at one point, the caravan runs away from yet another Balrog after traveling through time, only for Kyros to catch up again without the Balrog around. The storyline is then interrupted by the Crisis Crossover in early 2009. When the storyline finally resumed, the last two panels of the pre-interruption are repeated before Kyros finally revealed what he had done with the Balrog. | |

Wham Episode: The author (as a character of the comic), promised on strip 1667 that a major character would die before the end of the year. On strip 1800 (on New Years Eve no less), he makes good on his promise. He kills himself. The next year ends with several paradoxes occurring in all the strips, causing the universe to collapse and everyone from all the strips ending up on the Infinite Featureless Plane of Death (again for some). | |

Jane Goodall is able to save him (though not the Nigerian treasury) by pointing out that Nigeria isn't and never has been a monarchy. | |

The Nothing After Death | |
| Irregular Webcomic! (Webcomic) / int_d57f4a99 | comment |
The Nothing After Death: Parodied a bit with the Infinite Featureless Plane of Death. Which isn't featureless as Head Death has a desk and the Paradox Department has an office door and his receptionist has a desk. Not to mention the potentially non-infinite implication of the positive curvature ... | |

Shakespeare in Fiction | |
| Irregular Webcomic! (Webcomic) / int_d5c1bd82 | comment |
Shakespeare in Fiction: A modern version, who writes Harry Potter fanfics. He likes self-inserts, which means there's also Shakespeare in Fiction in Fiction. Provided it's canon in both storylines, Will was kicked out of the TARDIS by the scientists in the Scientific Revolution storyline as they were gathering scientists after it was pointed out Will wasn't a scientist. He was kicked out around 1990 because they didn't have time to take him back to the 1500s. | |

Torches and Pitchforks | |
| Irregular Webcomic! (Webcomic) / int_e529d5c3 | comment |
Torches and Pitchforks: Wielded by several angry mobs in the Fantasy theme, usually after the heroes have (more or less) accidentally burnt down their village. First seen here, also here, and here. | |

Writer on Board: The Shakespeare theme started out as a one shot railing against the culture-deadening evils of Microsoft PowerPoint, though it moved away from this quickly. | |

Running Gag | |
| Irregular Webcomic! (Webcomic) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Mostly involving Death, giant frogs and insanely-overpowered fireballs. Not to mention regular (every 100 strips or so) hobbit puns, "Oh yeah, I killed a Balrog [some number of "Again"s]", and "Nazi science sneers at X!" Two of these are lampshaded here. | |

Don't Explain the Joke | |
| Irregular Webcomic! (Webcomic) / int_fabef10f | comment |
Don't Explain the Joke: This is the comic that averts this rule to the point that you'd never know it existed. If there is any chance that a non-genius in the audience will not get the joke, it will be explained, in great detail. Not only are the explanations incredibly interesting in their own right but they often make the actual joke funnier. This comic's annotation brings explaining the joke up to eleven. | |

Brick Joke: In the annotation of strip 1324: " In fact, Loren is a Martian. This will be revealed in strip #1500." Sure enough, strip 1500. According to the rerun annotations, the author did not seriously intend to follow through with it at first. | |
