"No Black Plume" is a webcomic started in July 2011 by Matthew "Curly" Jeffers (writer) and Aubrey Zepeda (artist). The comics are very short, usually single-panel, and usually deal with absurd topics and situations, as well as science, literature, and social trends. There is no storyline or recurring characters, and most of the tropes are mocked or played for laughs. The comic is hosted on Blogger and updates Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.In addition to the comic, each update comes with a "Something Cool", where Curly and Aubrey alternate discussing something they enjoy and expounding the reader to check it out. | |

| No Black Plume (Webcomic) / int_10a262e4 | comment |
Headphones Equal Isolation: Double subverted: A guy listening to music promises his friend that he has his full attention, but the friend inadvertently leads him to sing along to "Stairway to Heaven", with the guy going back on his statement and saying that his friend may not have his full attention. | |

Gone Horribly Wrong | |
| No Black Plume (Webcomic) / int_19df659c | comment |
Gone Horribly Wrong: A bit of a parodic case. Humanity, as seen in the comic with The Monolith, is reduced from achieving greatness to making snuggies for dogs. | |

Black Comedy | |
| No Black Plume (Webcomic) / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: A lot of dark humor is present in the comic, including: A devil's punishment being transported to a place where his own punishments down mean anything to the people who are already used to it. The origin of Hangman being an actual hanging. Contrasting rejecting food in developed societies to people in poverty without access to food. | |

Ironic Hell: A four-part series of comics on it show a devil giving ironic punishments: for a clown, an eternity at children's birthday parties, for a PBS employee, his death in lava funded by donations from "viewers like you", and so forth. | |

Stylistic Suck | |
| No Black Plume (Webcomic) / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: The comics tend to be hastily-drawn to maintain a cartoony appearance. Exaggerated here (an agreement between science and religion that is perhaps even cruder than the regular comics, mainly due to the differing art style) and here (mild NSFW: a crudely-drawn parody of The Twilight Saga with poor grammar). | |

| No Black Plume (Webcomic) / int_4675960 | comment |
I'm Your Worst Nightmare: Mocked: the line is said word-for-word by a monster, but the fact that he's covered in something brown (maybe chocolate) and the face he makes isn't that threatening makes him look far from what he claims to be. | |

Science Is Bad: Averted here (religion accepts scientific beliefs) and played for laughs here (the cloning of dinosaurs and invention of jetpacks leads to armageddon via dinosaurs on jetpacks). Played for laughs again in the six-part "Science Will Ruin Your Life" arc, with one of its themes being an extensive knowledge on science causing people to view things more cynically, even more mundane stuff like watching movies. | |
