> Start MS Paint Adventure.Jailbreak is the first webcomic under Andrew Hussie's Troperiffic MS Paint Adventures, originating in September 2006 as a humble Interactive Comic game run by Hussie and played by friends of his on an early precursor to the MSPA forums. One of the rules of the game was that Hussie had to pick the very first suggested command for each move, no matter how unfunny or preposterous. It stars an otherwise nondescript man trying to escape a strangely built jail, which isn't rife with pumpkins.It was left unfinished for years with Hussie stating he didn't intend to continue it, but he capped off with an ending in September 2011 during the long Homestuck pre-end-of-act-5 hiatus. Compared to its successors, it doesn't make any pretense of having a coherent world or story - it exclusively exists for and is fueled by Rule of Funny. It was something of an early prototype for the likes of Problem Sleuth, and it is the origin of many of the running mythology gags that MSPA is so famous for.A fan album was made by members of the Homestuck music team. Andrew Hussie's various teams for Homestuck content, What Pumpkin Studios and What Pumpkin Games, were named in honor of this adventure's running gag. Additionally, the cover art◊ representing the adventure in Homestucknote Seen on page 31 was eventually reused as What Pumpkin Studios' first logo.◊ | |

Genre Shift: Hitting the Reset Button apparently changed the genre with it, as the plot goes from an unconventional Great Escape to Urban Fantasy. | |

Only Six Faces | |
| Jailbreak (Webcomic) / int_18a84025 | comment |
Only Six Faces: Only one face, actually. There is very little to tell the characters apart, which might be part of the reason why they make their pumpkin armor later on in the story. | |

Artifact of Death | |
| Jailbreak (Webcomic) / int_3094ec26 | comment |
Artifact of Death: A fairly normal tree stump (nicknamed the Suicide Stump by readers) has some sort of properties that immediately drive whoever is near it to suicide, apparently. This is demonstrated in the second route when the prisoner digs up a gun underneath the stump and is suddenly compelled to shoot himself. | |

Hooking the Keys | |
| Jailbreak (Webcomic) / int_31e9c24b | comment |
Hooking the Keys: A number of variants for this Adventure Game-style comic about breaking out of jail: One of the guys already has a key, but it doesn't work on his door, so he attempts to use a broken ladder to give it to one of the other prisoners who has a window into his cell. It doesn't exactly work... One of the other prisoners attempts to use the unconscious prison guard's belt to thread through the window of his cell to retrieve the keys that are lying on the floor outside. This also fails, and he just drops the belt. | |

Black Comedy Burst: The very end of the first half of the comic, which, considering how much gory comedy shows up, says a lot. After a harrowing adventure, the two prisoners leave the jail compound on a giant pumpkin. Then the first guy bleeds out, the second guy realizes his pal is dead after he tries to take his hand, and he gets so depressed he turns his trusty gun on himself. | |

Would Hurt a Child: Played with. The main character takes three children hostages in order to get the elves to let him inside their bungalow, but he is knowingly threatening them with an unloaded gun. The elves, on the other hand, eat human babies and were perfectly willing to make the pony trample the kids along with the prisoner. | |

Schrödinger's Gun: The tree stump in the forest is retroactively linked to a scenario where the player can possibly kill themself, provided they're miserable enough and have a gun on them. In the first route, one of the players brings a gun found earlier to the area and does the deed, having gone through sufficient enough trauma. In the second, a gun is already there; since the scenario just started, the gun is instead unloaded. | |

| Jailbreak (Webcomic) / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: After bungling a puzzle and getting the room to flood, one of the commands issued to the first prisoner is to try drinking all the water himself. He responds with the "no/bad reply" face, declaring it the dumbest idea he's heard all day... and promptly gets on all fours and starts drinking. Later on, the second prisoner is told to shoot into the hole on the roof of a building. He looks down, but when he sees the sad face of the first guy trapped in a flood, he reconsiders. He then runs a harpoon through his gut, deciding he could probably save the pistol's bullets for later. | |

Minimalist Cast | |
| Jailbreak (Webcomic) / int_8e3b5b4d | comment |
Minimalist Cast: There's only 10 characters in the story, major or otherwise (the 3 prisoners, the 3 children, the 2 elves, the guard, and the pony). While this makes sense considering it's a smaller story, it can be a bit jarring compared to Problem Sleuth's and especially Homestuck's numerous characters. | |

Major Injury Underreaction | |
| Jailbreak (Webcomic) / int_91cab736 | comment |
Major Injury Underreaction: The main character gets a harpoon in his stomach and manages to get all the way out to the woods and near the suicide stump before finally dying of blood loss. He is perfectly cognizant of his actions and is even able to move about and do quite a number of things without behaving as though he is in pain. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Jailbreak (Webcomic) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The first guy is commanded to hollow out the pumpkin in his cell and use it as a helmet in case the ceiling caves in from the third guy's drill. He never ends up doing it, but the second guy eventually makes one he uses for the rest of the comic after he gets a pumpkin stuck on his head while cleaning up the first guy's mess. The second guy decides not to use his gun in case he needs the bullets to off himself later. He eventually does so at the very end of the first route. | |

| Jailbreak (Webcomic) / int_b5914444 | comment |
Noodle Implements: The jail cell with the prisoner skeletons in it implies they got into antics with a violin, a gun, and a boot (which was on one of the skeletons' head). Directly above this scene was a rope leading to the top of the prison complex, which turns out to be the small intestine of a harpooned sperm whale on the roof. | |

Desecrating the Dead | |
| Jailbreak (Webcomic) / int_bd39588d | comment |
Desecrating the Dead: The overkill the guard goes through. Getting his head bashed in was bad enough, but then his body was mangled by a drill and what was left of him was used as makeshift escape rope. And the worst part? Some of these actions were by accident. At the very least, his head getting cut off and put in a pumpkin was the first prisoner's weird way of giving Due to the Dead, but even then he later cuddles it and was seriously considering eating its makeshift coffin. | |

Finagle's Law | |
| Jailbreak (Webcomic) / int_c26ebed4 | comment |
Finagle's Law: No matter what helpful things the characters do, something inevitably goes wrong during the process. The player commands the first guy to pee out a window to get the attention of a guy with a ladder. He decides not to, but ends up doing it later anyway... just as the second guy had a change of heart, causing him to fall over and break the ladder. The broken ladder is revealed to not need any cementing to hold it together after the second guy decides to make some out of pee and dirt. Even then, his attempts to climb it are thwarted by some badly-timed projectile vomit. The first guy is saved from a flooding room by the second guy turning off the switch blocking him off from the exit. He's hoisted up by the second guy, then somehow knocks himself into a nearby lever and breaks it while the second guy tumbles into the room below. The bars blocking the exit are now replaced with spikes. | |

Lock and Key Puzzle: One room has a fairly simple one, where there are three pumpkin-shaped holes in the wall with different expressions. Having just come out of a room filled with pumpkins and a transporter, the main guy decides this doesn't mean anything, carves a random face out of the one innociously sitting in front of him, and shoves it in the wrong hole. Predictably, the room floods. | |
