Leftover Soup is a Webcomic published by Mason "Tailsteak" Williams from November 22, 2010 through April 10, 2017. It is a Slice of Life webcomic based on the life of Jamie the Supreme Chef, his roommate Ellen the Geek, and her best friend Maxine the polyamorous Lovable Sex Maniac. Other characters — for example, Lily, Ellen's boss, who Does Not Like Men — enter the scene as time goes on, but the primary focus is on those three.Much like Tailsteak's previous comic 1/0, the strip is notable for delving into many philosophical and political issues, though with more breadth and realism than its predecessor. The characters are highly prone to navel-gazing and engaging in spiraling discussions about their wildly diverse personal philosophies. The author says his primary purpose in making the story is to encourage thought and discussion in his readers and often goes into a lot of depth in The Rant. | |

Obstructive Bureaucrat | |
| Leftover Soup (Webcomic) / int_1f799027 | comment |
The police corps is filled with nothing but Obstructive Bureaucrats and Cowboy Cops that are apparently so committed to doing nothing right that even though they'll routinely pull over upstanding citizens for "driving while black," they'll also believe a Scary Black Man's side of the story if he and a nice-looking white boy are both brought in with injuries, without even getting a statement from said white boy. And then they'll forge a statement where he admits full guilt to cover their asses. | |

However, she will also care for and nurture just about anyone (or anything) in any other way she can, as well. She'll also flatly refuse if they're trying to hurt themselves in some way (ie, booze, drugs, sex, etc). | |

Game-Breaker | |
| Leftover Soup (Webcomic) / int_2536f695 | comment |
Game-Breaker: Ellen does this to every game they play. For example, Max's homebrew tabletop game system is easily broken by the fact that Mayhem Points can be used to double the outcome of a roll, and deal double damage for each 10 points they beat the target's defense — with no cap on either of these. Ellen hoards her Mayhem Points throughout the entire game, only using them when they meet the adventure's Final Boss to retcon a "test shot" she took several scenes ago into One Hit Killing him with a modified attack roll of 256 dealing damage in the millions. The boss himself was a game breaker, meant to be invincible to anything except breaking the system. Max KNOWS her players...and pointed out a couple of holes in this game-breaking plan. | |

| Leftover Soup (Webcomic) / int_3d6fa277 | comment |
Author on Board: Tailsteak tries hard to avert this at every turn by presenting everyone's point of view fairly, but when he feels strongly about something, it still tends to show. Martial arts are a scam that don't teach you anything useful about self-defense. This surely has nothing to do with Tailsteak's stated dislike of martial arts. The exception seems to be Krav Maga, where he goes to the other extreme - apparently one month of classes is enough to make a five-foot woman a credible threat to a six-foot man with demonstrated fighting skills. Polyamory is completely unproblematic and anyone who thinks otherwise is a dirty bigot. And also, everyone has always done it. Including your parents, so there! Why yes, Tailsteak is in a polyamorous relationship, what's that got to do with anything? The police corps is filled with nothing but Obstructive Bureaucrats and Cowboy Cops that are apparently so committed to doing nothing right that even though they'll routinely pull over upstanding citizens for "driving while black," they'll also believe a Scary Black Man's side of the story if he and a nice-looking white boy are both brought in with injuries, without even getting a statement from said white boy. And then they'll forge a statement where he admits full guilt to cover their asses. In relation to the last point, all of the main characters in Leftover Soup are in favour of the decriminalization, regulation and taxation of the recreational use of tetrahydrocannabinol, because all of the main characters in Leftover Soup are rational, intelligent human beings. Whereas the police are so much not rational, intelligent human beings that they will arrest you on charges of resisting arrest if they think you are involved with marijuana. Tailsteak says in a comment that Cheryl is his good-guy cop character, which seems a bit like saying that the only good cop is an ex-cop. | |

Eats Babies: According to the info page, Maxine's Dungeons & Dragons character "Ate a baby, managed to convince GM she was still neutral good." This is explained late-ish in the comic — Max's character was a member of an insect-like people who considered "reclaiming protein from a malfunctioning spawnling for the benefit of the hive" to be a moral and reasonable act. | |

Black Comedy Rape: When Ellen and Jamie first meet. The joke is extended a couple times in the same storyline. However, in a subversion, Jamie does eventually get an earful from Lily about the inappropriateness of his behavior. Max strongly implies that she has this in mind for Jamie in this strip as a joke. Jamie is not pleased by this. | |

The Alleged Computer | |
| Leftover Soup (Webcomic) / int_4e690511 | comment |
The Alleged Computer: Jamie has a "Linux clusterfuck" of three laptops that were supposed to act as one machine but in practice didn't work without all three active at once and was much less powerful than even one of them by itself. He apparently bought the mess for $50 and the original creator had died without leaving any documentation. Professional computer geek Ellen tries for a full day and night to make one of them work on its own, and when she hands him the working laptop, it's not actually the same one; the implication being she pulled one out of the back of a cabinet at work.. | |

Painting the Medium | |
| Leftover Soup (Webcomic) / int_5009999d | comment |
Painting the Medium: Any time a character doesn't know how to spell something, it's misspelled in their speech balloons as well: Jamie, like most first-time knitters, doesn't know how to spell "purl" so it comes out as "pearl". The rhinoceros-piranha chimera that featured in Max's own homemade RPG is spelled "pirahnocerous", suggesting she can't spell either of those words. Nobody knows how to spell Lily's sci-fi setting "Florenovia" at first besides her, and all of their best guesses are different. And when the chef tells Cheryl to make mirepoix... "Right. Meerpwa." Doubles as a pronunciation guide for the French-disinclined. When talking about the Linux clusterfuck's system backups Jamie's speech balloon calls them "disks" and Ellen's "discs". This is because Ellen thought they would be compact discs but they were actually diskettes. Max's word balloons turn various flavors of weird when she's having a depressive episode. Muffled speech is signified with blurred words. | |

Instant Humiliation: Just Add YouTube!: In the backstory, when Ellen was "up at an inadvisable hour, under the influence of inadvisable substances" after a bad breakup, she "made an inadvisable phone call", which got uploaded to an internet sound board and (presumably) got made into several Voice Clip Songs, though the only one actually appearing in-comic is a mashup with Snoop Dogg's "Drop It Like It's Hot". Which Max uses as her ringtone. | |

| Leftover Soup (Webcomic) / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: The track record of the police in the comic is 1) trying to put Jamie away for murder by any means foul or fair (he was innocent), 2) pulling Wallace over for driving while black (he hadn't done anything), 3) harassing pot-smokers, also by any means foul or fair (which is at least targeting actual criminals for once, but Tailsteak has made it clear that he thinks that laws against pot are objectively, inarguably bad) and 4) arresting a harmless guy for tresspassing in an abandoned building (again, an actual crime, but of the decidedly victimless variety) and doing so with a helping of borderline police brutality besides. | |

Arc Words: Characters bring up variations on the "brother's keeper" line from The Bible throughout Jamie's personal arc, often resulting in Jamie analyzing its meaning.

Perhaps most notable is an instance where Jamie declares "I choose to be my brother's keeper," when justifying his decision to investigate Richard's murder on his own. | |

Success Through Insanity: invoked Max is a fan of this trope. When she invents her own RPG system, it involves a lot of this. In particular, the GM (her) can reward "Mayhem Points" (action points, essentially) to players for doing crazy things. Turns out, she is this in real life...and it's deconstructed. She is on a LOT of pills. | |

Right for the Wrong Reasons: Jamie's boss tests Cheryl's cooking skill by asking how she would brown some celery; she says she'd get some brown food dye. The boss assumes this meant she knew you can't brown celery because it doesn't contain enough sugar for the Maillard reaction; considering she just learned the basics of cooking that morning, it's more likely she didn't know what "browning" something means. | |

| Leftover Soup (Webcomic) / int_88424df3 | comment |
I Thought Everyone Could Do That: A downplayed version. Jamie is well aware that his cooking abilities are extraordinary, but he sometimes forgets how extraordinary. The basics are so instinctive to him that he forgets to teach them to Cheryl - as their boss puts it, teaching her to sprint before she could crawl - which causes her problems in her cooking career. | |

Ethical Slut: Max is a vegan, works at an animal shelter, and has a genuinely loving relationship with the four partners in her Polyamory relationship. She also has a well-defined set of philosophical principles that she adheres to. She is also so committed to being a slut that she forced herself to become bisexual purely to increase her number of available sexual partners. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Leftover Soup (Webcomic) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Jamie's mugger is adamant about taking Jamie's entire wallet, identification and all. Turns out he already pulled the same trick earlier that night, meaning that the police got false identification when they searched his wallet: he's not Richard Knight at all. This means he's still at large after Knight's death, a fact that's also foreshadowed when Wallace is pulled over for resembling a black criminal. Ellen is awfully possessive of Jamie, discouraging him from going on a date with Gina. Unsurprisingly, her feelings for him aren't as platonic as she likes to think they are.

Mood Whiplash: From goofy Pulp Fiction take-off to critically injured pet in two pages. Later: Max's depressive episode is a very dark and serious storyline in an otherwise lighthearted strip. The shift is quite abrupt. Max's Crazy-Awesome RPG storyline (which starts with a bear driving a bulldozer through a wall and ends with Ellen One Hit Killing a zombie foetus on a giant robot body) segues into a heavy discussion about who gets into heaven and hell and why.

Once Jamie starts interacting with Carol, he inevitably runs into Cheryl again, starting a long-term plotline where they are forced to work out their differences. | |

Friend to All Living Things | |
| Leftover Soup (Webcomic) / int_e21faf11 | comment |
Friend to All Living Things: There has yet to be a single character, human or animal, that didn't seem to like Max to at least some extent, and in return, she seems to genuinely believe that there is no such thing as a "bad" person or animal, only ones that are misguided or not smart enough to know any better. | |

The Rant | |
| Leftover Soup (Webcomic) / int_e912c1 | comment |
The Rant: Generally worth reading, as it is frequently used to delve deeper into philosophical issues brought up in the strip, or to explain story details that couldn't fit in the strip itself (such as the intricacies of Florenovia's economic system). | |

Exact Words | |
| Leftover Soup (Webcomic) / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: While in a hospital, Jamie disposes of the gun Roscoe Knight threatened him with in a nearby sharps bin, justifying it by pointing out that it is a "malfunctioning"note it's missing its firing pin item intended to "cause a change in human biology"note aka killing people, which is "dangerous"note it's a gun and they "do not need it"note Roscoe was only threatening Jamie to get answers that Jamie was inclined to provide anyway, which to Jamie's understanding, is the kind of item you put in a sharps bin. | |

Vomit Discretion Shot: Nicole tries to throw up some pills she took into the toilet because she's worried they'll hurt the baby she's pregnant with. Her husband suggests she thinks up something gross but she can't. So he makes a gross suggestion for her which works. | |

Infernal Retaliation | |
| Leftover Soup (Webcomic) / int_f07102a8 | comment |
Infernal Retaliation: During Max's RPG session, Nicole somehow gets set on "unfire" and decides, rather than use her turn to extinguish herself, to hug one of the monsters they're trying to dispatch, thus setting it on unfire as well. Max rewards her with a Mayhem Point for her wild thinking. | |

Running Gag | |
| Leftover Soup (Webcomic) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: The profusion of things abbreviated as "TP". The aforementioned coffee gags on the cast page also count. After his Crime of Self-Defense, Jamie's name is almost invariably taken to be "Benjamin Halliganiv", rather than "Jamie Halligan IV". Jamie counters this by calling Cheryl "Cheryla"note Cheryl A. until she stops calling him "Halliganiv". (She never did.) | |

Theme Naming: When Jamie makes up pseudonyms for his investigation of Richard Knight's death, all of the names he chooses are Richard plus a chess piece: Rick Bishop, Dick McQueen, Richie Pawn. He also briefly mentions the codename "The Rook", which he doesn't end up actually using. | |
