Sandra on the Rocks is a webcomic written by Dave Lumsdon (aka Dave Zero1) and drawn by Remy "Eisu" Mokhtar. It originally started as filler strips in its parent comic, Ménage à 3 in December 2011, became a separate production on April 2, 2013, and ended on July 1, 2019. The lead character comes from Ménage à 3, but Sandra has a different artist and a somewhat different atmosphere; it's less a Slice of Life and more of a satire of the clichés of the modelling and computer games businesses. Also, while Ménage à 3 and its earlier Spin-Off Sticky Dilly Buns are set in Montreal, Canada, this comic is set in Paris, France, at least to begin with.The title character, Sandra Arden, was originally a member of Ménage à 3's second-line cast, a booze-loving waitress and workmate of first-line character DiDi. In that comic, through a drunken accident, she found herself transported from Montreal to Brazil in the company of transgender model Senna — which is where this one starts. Unable to get home, Sandra becomes Senna's personal assistant, soon discovering that Senna is a boss from hell. Her salvation comes in the form of international fashion photographer Domenico Pedrazzini, who whimsically decides that her freckles make her interesting, declares that she will be his next great discovery, and ships her off to Paris to learn from his team of assistants.Unfortunately, once there, Sandra not only discovers that Domenico is an unpredictable flake, but runs into further problems such as his PA, Tatiana Likhachyova, who quickly becomes insanely jealous of Domenico's interest in Sandra and determined to drive her off or destroy her. However, Sandra wants to stay, if only because she soon finds romance in Paris. Aside from the contest between Sandra's innocent luck, resilience, and unreliable gumption, and Tatiana's erratic attempts at evil, some of Sandra's modelling gigs get complicated, she finds specialised fame as a video games model, and a number of other characters enter the cast, many with their own Plot Threads.Like the parent comic, this is constructed as a very traditional four-panel strip (the western equivalent of a Yonkoma); there are always four panels, or occasionally some double panels. Originally, they appeared online as a single row of four, but since a major Website redesign in early 2020, they have been posted in a 2x2 layout. (As the print collections have always been printed with this 2x2 format, any double panels are always located in positions 1 and 2 or 3 and 4.) Also, the great majority of strips end with some kind of comedy punchline, despite the fact that there is a continuing story.The first page is here. Note that some other pages may be at least marginally NSFW; although Sandra lacks the explicit, sexualized nudity that characterized Ménage à 3 at times, it does feature some buttock-cleft and Side Boob glimpses, along with a little BDSM and some ... interesting ... lingerie.The comic is now concluded. A backup can be found here.

Sexy Shirt Switch: A low-key lesbian version; when Alex finds his sister Lavali in the kitchen with another girl one morning, Lavali claims that they had been up all night "working on a project". However, it promptly turns out that the other girl is wearing one of Lavali's shirts — probably Alex's first big clue about Lavali's orientation.

Scenery Censor
 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_1420a9b8
comment
Scenery Censor: The comic walks a fine line between maintaining a "no nudity" rule to keep advertising revenues up, and plots involving fashion models changing, skinny-dipping, and quite overt sexual situations, As a result, it often employs finely-judged scenery censorship. For example: Sandra serves as living scenery. The next strip after that consists almost entirely of scenery and Speech-Bubble Censoring — some of the "scenery" being just lighting effects. A steering wheel preserves Cammi's (non-existent) modesty. It does seem like the female characters in this comic must have rather small nipples. Other strips also feature characters being screened by polite camera angles or costumes so weird they basically act as scenery censorship.

comment
Celebrity Resemblance: In a slightly odd in-universe example, Sandra is fortuitously discovered at a video game trade show when a live-action model is needed for a game heroine. Marie, the teenage fan girl, bears a startling resemblance to cosplay model Marie-Claude Bourbonnais (minus her super powers), with the same spiky blonde hair and big eyes. However, Word of God says this is a total coincidence. For a somewhat generic instance — Eisu openly acknowledges that Zoé's character design is inspired by a bunch of classic Statuesque Stunner supermodels.

Wicked Cultured: When Senna reappears in the comic in the course of the crossover with Ménage à 3, she turns out to be a high-culture snob with no interest in anything as crass as geek culture. Quite how this fits with, for example, her very specific taste in soft drinks is a bit unclear.

comment
Stripperiffic: Various (more or less justified) instances: The costumes which Tatiana wears in her fantasies, and presumably sometimes in her private life, are doubtless appropriate for their purpose — but that makes them pretty stripperific. The swimsuits that Senna models in an early scene are definitely better adapted for flaunting it than for swimming, though that could be classed as Truth in Television for high-fashion swimwear. Sandra's "Carmen Chamelia" costume requires double-sided tape to keep it on her boobs. Adrienne and Adrianne's idea of appropriate clubbing costumes look like they require special engineering and a lot of depilation.

Aborted Arc: When Alex and Marie first appear, it's made clear that she has an interest in upgrading their relationship from friendship to romantic/sexual, and this plot continues when Ingrid offers to help Marie catch Alex (while hoping to draw them into a threesome). However, Alex is dragged into Eloise and Nadine's schemes, Marie gets into modelling, and the idea just fades away.

Unknown Rival
 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_246c9dc5
comment
Unknown Rival: The comic has its share of rivalries, many of which remain undeclared, ramping up the comedy. Sandra is dating Pierre, but her brief platonic acquaintanceship with Gary did leave her wondering if he could be a romantic prospect, setting up a possible rivalry there, which the men aren't fully aware of. At one point, Cammi has her eye on Sandra, leading to a brief period of hidden rivalry (Sandra and Pierre being completely unaware of her intentions) before Cammi comes on to Sandra and the latter (eventually) remembers Pierre and announces that she has a boyfriend. Cammi backs down gracefully at that point. It's possible that she hasn't given up altogether, though (and it wouldn't be out of character for her to offer to include Pierre in some arrangement either). Professionally, Eloise has sworn vengeance on Sandra for "stealing" her place at the computer games show and then building a lot of success on that basis. She has also walked in on Sandra having sex with Pierre, who she has had a crush on since childhood. However, Sandra has quite likely forgotten that Eloise even exists, and is certainly unaware of her hostility. After all, the original incident was entirely accidental, and the two haven't had any interaction since then.

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Sandra gets to watch as her childhood favorite character, "Carmen Chamelia," slides all the way down to the cynicism end as a part of a Darker and Edgier makeover. She does not take this well.

Zany Scheme
 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_3c51db1c
comment
Zany Scheme: Many of the characters are prone to following through on dubious ideas... ...But one instance is notable. Eloise wants to attack Sandra, deduces that Sandra must have an adviser on geek matters, and spots Alex in some pictures. Nadine identifies Alex's school uniform, but they don't know who he is. So, to help Eloise to get at Sandra through Alex, Nadine persuades her rich father to make a donation to the school so that she and Eloise can enlist there as pupils, supposedly so that they can refresh their educations — under pseudonyms, with Eloise disguised as a boy. Nadine then sets to work seducing every male at the school as an interrogation technique. Linked to the above, but also a shorter-term example in itself: When Eloise tells Nadine to keep Alex distracted in their apartment for a couple of hours, Nadine's solution features a lot of screaming, feigning sexual innocence, throwing Alex's clothes out of the window, dressing him up as a girl, and blackmailing him into helping with her homework. She seems to favor zany schemes, partly for fun and partly out of vanity over her own cleverness.

Love Dodecahedron
 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_4523420b
comment
Love Dodecahedron: Things get a bit Soap Opera after a while. Sandra and Pierre come to form a fairly straightforward couple, but Eloise (who already dislikes Sandra) also fancies Pierre (while being a relationship with Nadine), and Senna flirts with him briefly. Senna was in a brief relationship with Gary at the time, and Sandra also considered Gary as a prospect. Cammi, who has a casual on-off relationship with Domenico, fancies Sandra enough to try to seduce her, while Tatiana fancies Domenico from a distance. Domenico mostly works through a long series of casual flings, though, apart from brief and hostile scenes of Destructo-Nookie with his ex-wife Zoé. Elsewhere, Alex has a teenage fan infatuation with Sandra, while Marie wants him — but he's Oblivious to Love there. And their schoolmate Christophe rather fancies Marie, though she keeps turning him down; Christophe also notices an unexpected bisexual impulse in himself toward Alex...

Win Back the Crowd: An in-universe variation; after Tristan's public insult to girl gamers, Sandra seizes the mike and gets the audience re-enthused and on her side. The ensuing livestream video quickly goes from merely viral to "bubonic", and the videogame company president realizes this can sell millions of games.

comment
Coitus Uninterruptus: No, Cammi doesn't care that she's just been caught having sex with her boss' ex-husband by her boss, she just wants ten more minutes to finish up. Much the same can be said of Eva, who is annoyed when Lukas invites himself in for a drink and small talk, while Armani is banging her. Though to be fair, Lukas is at least consistent — he never shows much concern at being interrupted or observed while having sex himself.

Everyone Is Bi: Well, not everyone — for example, Domenico seems to be rampantly heterosexual, and a brief experiment tells Marie that she's entirely straight, while Lavali is entirely gay — but quite a few characters are openly bi, and by the end of the comic's run, several (including the title character) who seemed to be solidly straight when the story started have discovered strong bisexual tendencies.

Tristan's public disdain for girls playing videogames earns him the ire of Marie and Sandra (the former is ready to "mess him up" while the latter grabs the mike), and thus leads to the audience turning against him. This soon leads his boss to decide to dump Tristan's ideas for the game he's just developed.

Bookends: Pixietrix comics are often organised in 150-strip volumes, with the last strip in each containing at least a minor echo of the first: In the very first strip, Senna says "When I'm around, everything is glamorous". In the last strip of that volume, Marie says "When Sandra's around, everything is wild... and glamorous!". In strip #151, Domenico claims to have conducted "vigorous negotiations" with Zoé. In strip #300, Eva speaks of her "vigorous interrogation" of Lavali.

 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_5586a766
comment
Luminescent Blush: A fairly common feature of the art. A few examples: Suffered by Sandra here, when her trainers have pushed her far out of her comfort zone. Shown on Zoé. As Zoé is far from sweetly naive, this suggests that Domenico's teasing, and the reminder of her past, have affected her fairly strongly. Also suffered by Tatiana of all people as an opportunity arises to indulge her more secret and embarrassing interests.

Beta Couple: The relationship between Alex and Marie is a background sub-plot, while Sandra's romances (mostly with Pierre) are a foreground concern. However, the trope is inverted in one important respect; Sandra and Pierre have a fairly straightforward relationship, whereas Alex and Marie have problems, mainly due to geeky adolescent inexperience — and there relationship probably shows up in more strips overall, as a result.

comment
Incompatible Orientation: Aaina, one of the girls Sandra and Lavali meet at a lesbian bar, is very attracted to Sandra, and asks Lavali if she's single. Lavali's own attraction to Aaina combined with Aaina giving her Puppy-Dog Eyes leaves her unable to break the bad news that Sandra is not only taken but straight, and she settles for the technical truth of "she does not have a girlfriend". Aaina is delighted, and continues to pursue Sandra, while Sandra remains entirely oblivious to the whole thing. Cammi also falls for Sandra. Things get complicated there when it becomes apparent that Sandra not only gets more flexible, but may return the feeling, when she gets drunk.

The Unreveal: Sandra was curious about Cammi's looks without her sunglasses. When she took a bath, Sandra took Cammi's offering to jump in with her showering. It turned out Cammi was wearing her black swimming goggles. The mystery about Cammi's eyes allows the trope to be somewhat subverted in the final strip, in which Cammi's eyes are revealed.

Four-Temperament Ensemble
 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_65bc92fc
comment
Four-Temperament Ensemble: Domenico's agency fits this pattern, albeit a little loosely: Domenico himself is sanguine; extroverted, emotional, charming, talkative, eccentric, undisciplined, emotionally unstable, and frivolous. Zoé is choleric; extroverted, a hard worker, strong-willed, practical, passionate, hot-tempered, rude, harsh, and insensitive. Cammi is melancholic; introverted, emotional, perfectionist, but a little emotionally distant. However, she is the worst fit of the four because her emotions (including a snarky sense of humor) make her less rigid, conservative, or organized than a classic melancholic. Tatiana is phlegmatic; introverted, seemingly calm and unemotional, an excellent assistant, and (sometimes) too yielding. However, she lacks the classic phlegmatic's compassion and truly submissive nature (except in relation to Domenico). Technically, Fabien is a member of the agency, but his role seems to be strictly part-time, and he isn't seen enough for the reader to identify his personality traits. Sandra herself is technically also an employee of the agency, but as the chief protagonist of the story and a new arrival who is being acted on by the others, she stands outside the group.

comment
Mugging the Monster: A passing random mook chooses to snatch the fancy necklace which Aaina has just given to Sandra and run off. It would have been enough of a mistake that he does this in front of Cammi, who has her bike close by, but this is also the thing that causes Aaina to reveal her Hidden Depths. Cammi ends up looking quite worried at what Aaina wants to do to the guy, once she has his face pinned to a wall.

Sex Comedy
 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_7349ce5a
comment
Sex Comedy: While the characters seem less obsessed with sex than those in the parent comic, sexual themes are often part of Sandra's comedy. For example, Sandra herself fantasizes about Pierre and Gary (simultaneously), Tatiana has a kinky unrequited desire for Domenico, Domenico and Zoé can't keep their hands off each other, Alex and Marie are going through a will-they won't-they teenage phase, and Lavali turns out to be living in the world's most Transparent Closet.

Stern Teacher
 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_77d826c7
comment
Stern Teacher: Zoé, an experienced model assigned to help train Sandra in the profession, on rather short notice, decides that she has to adopt the tough approach. (Tatiana, on the other hand, is being nasty for its own sake, albeit with this as an excuse.) At times, she steers close to Deadpan Snarker status when dealing with Sandra: When Domenico tries to steer Sandra away from Zoé's plans for her "training and development," though, Zoé does step in to defend her charge and tell him off. Then things go all Slap-Slap-Kiss, and Domenico ends up "sexed into submission" by Zoé.

Shower Scene
 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_7eccbb3d
comment
Shower Scene: An occasional feature of the comic. A couple of instances to note... A barely-SFW example features no less than three of the female characters. Fanservice aside, it's really fairly innocent, despite Marie threatening to slip into Stalker with a Crush territory (and there's also some male Fanservice in the same strip). Another such scene occurs when Cammi takes a shower in Sandra and Tatiana's new apartment, and induces Sandra to join her. This evolves into a variant Shower of Awkward when Cammi makes a move on Sandra. Note that, in common with most private dwellings in this universe, this modest Parisian apartment has a shower fully large enough for two people to share.

Hollywood Game Design
 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_821839ea
comment
Hollywood Game Design: "Dark Matter Games" may be at least a borderline case: Certainly, their chief designer seems to be rather flaky, and readers don't see a very large staff in their Paris office, considering that they appear to be a major games company. However, some staff members could simply be off-screen, and some elements of the depiction, notably the faintly sinister chief executive, can be considered deliberate parodies of the trope. It is, though, pretty obvious that the creators haven't the slightest idea what happens during a MoCap session. Of course, there probably wouldn't be as much room for comedy if they did the research.

Bisexual Love Triangle: The tangled lives of the cast include a few bisexual triangles, though real love may be rarer. A key example is the relationships between Sandra, Pierre, and whichever woman is attracting Sandra during her latest bender, but especially Cammi. As a comedy bonus, at one point, Alex finds himself torn between Eloise and Eloise disguised as a guy.

Aaina, one of the girls Sandra and Lavali meet at a lesbian bar, is very attracted to Sandra, and asks Lavali if she's single. Lavali's own attraction to Aaina combined with Aaina giving her Puppy-Dog Eyes leaves her unable to break the bad news that Sandra is not only taken but straight, and she settles for the technical truth of "she does not have a girlfriend". Aaina is delighted, and continues to pursue Sandra, while Sandra remains entirely oblivious to the whole thing.

When Life Gives You Lemons...: invoked Zoé is ready to sack Sandra for hijacking the Carmen Chamelia presentation, but when Lavali shows up and asks when Sandra can model for the designers reworking Carmen's looks, Zoé realizes there may be a way to make something of the situation. This doesn't stop her from commenting on Sandra's "insanely dumb luck."

Cosplay
 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_8a6423b6
comment
Cosplay: The crossover with Ménage à 3 involves some cosplay-related complications, though most of the specific events are shown in the other comic. After Sandra models as in-universe videogame heroine "Carmen Chamelia," she finds herself a geek idol, and uses Gary from the other comic as a consultant on geek culture. He explains cosplay to her, just as Tatiana is forming a weird plan of her own that involves making Sandra dress up in a white dominatrix outfit for a fictional shoot that Gary interprets as perfect Emma Frost cosplay. When Senna uploads the pictures from the shoot to Sandra's website, Alex and Marie also interpret them that way, rather than as bondage gear.

Laser-Guided Karma
 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_90e31482
comment
Laser-Guided Karma: An early and spectacular example (actually in the strips inherited from Ménage à 3): After sending Sandra on a string of difficult and pointless errands, Senna gets hers when Domenico decides that he wants Sandra to model for him instead. "Karma" then drives the point home when he puts Senna in a female dog costume. Later, when she returns for the Ménage à 3 crossover plotline, Senna is quick to assume (wrongly) that Sandra's modelling career has failed, and looks forward to seeing where Sandra is now living, so she can gloat. That sets her up for humiliation without anyone else having to help. There's also Tatiana's smart idea of burning all Sandra's old clothes as part of her campaign to drive Sandra away. When Sandra does then decide to leave, she has literally nothing to wear to the airport, and Tatiana ends up stripping down to her underwear and lending Sandra her own clothes. To add to her humiliation, Sandra then decides to stay anyway. And then, later, Tatiana is ordered to find Sandra an apartment for herself, and purposely selects a hovel -- ahem, an apartment that she describes as "rustic," just to make Sandra suffer. This promptly earns its own retribution when Domenico orders her to move in with Sandra. Tristan's public disdain for girls playing videogames earns him the ire of Marie and Sandra (the former is ready to "mess him up" while the latter grabs the mike), and thus leads to the audience turning against him. This soon leads his boss to decide to dump Tristan's ideas for the game he's just developed.

Also, Pierre turns out to be the cousin (and crush) of Sandra's sworn enemy Eloise.

Screw T His Im Outta Here: A more serious example involves Sandra finding out the hard way that, still being a trainee, she really should know better than questioning her mentors so soon.

comment
Naked People Are Funny: Nudity and near-nudity are a recurrent source of humor in this comic, while simultaneously also being a source of (scenery censored) Fanservice. Zoé and Cammi have no detectable nudity taboos, and jokes with them come from their willingness to get naked in "inappropriate" situations if necessary while refusing to look worried about it, whereas Sandra still has some body modesty (unless she's drunk, in which case all bets are off), and the comedy with her comes from her attempts to prove that she's capable of handling the requirements of a modelling career.

The Many Deaths of You: Parodied in the "Carmen Chamelia" game trailer shown at the videogames convention, which evidently shows Carmen dying in multiple gruesome ways, though readers don't see them. Seeing this causes Sandra to voice her concerns to game designer Tristan; he dismisses them (and insults female gamers in the process), leading Sandra to hijack the presentation.

Working with the Ex
 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_aa58bf92
comment
Working with the Ex: It is revealed that Domenico and Zoé used to be married. However, it turns out that they are rather weird (mostly) Amicable Exes most of the time (despite Zoé's last line in that strip, and her Luminescent Blush). Things can get weird when they get into screaming arguments, though; these may transform into passionate make-out sessions, and then into competitive sex (last one standing wins).

Oh, Crap!

comment
Oh, Crap!: Tristan gets a moment when he realizes he just insulted all the female members of the audience at a videogame show — and again when the president of the company calls during Sandra's "revolution". Tatiana gets one when she sees that Sandra's website counter is suddenly over 1.5 million views, when previously it was at just one. (This is probably a result of Marie's actions following Sandra's "revolution" at the videogame show, but Tatiana wouldn't know about any of that at the time.)

comment
Certainly, their chief designer seems to be rather flaky, and readers don't see a very large staff in their Paris office, considering that they appear to be a major games company. However, some staff members could simply be off-screen, and some elements of the depiction, notably the faintly sinister chief executive, can be considered deliberate parodies of the trope.

comment
Unsound Effect: We're not allowed to see the action from the "Carmen Chamelia" game; instead, we get the appropriately descriptive "SLASH! STAB! SPURT!" This trope is used to make sure that we get the point when Lavali executes a rather sedate glomp onto her brother Alex, when she needs comfort after a break-up.

Bare Midriffs Are Feminine
 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_b2ed4736
comment
Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: This is a fanservice-heavy but not outright pornographic comic about the fashion world, so there are plenty of female characters wearing midriff-baring clothes, be it lingerie, swimsuits or crop tops worn for clubbing. The only female character that never wears such revealing outfits (except in her BDSM fantasies) is the straight-laced and sadistic Tatiana. The male characters, meanwhile, tend to wear full shirts, although the hunky Domenico opts for unbuttoned shirts instead, for a similar fanservice effect.

Come Back to Bed, Honey: Inverted. For most of his appearances, Pierre seems like a faultless boyfriend...then Sandra reveals that she'd rather not spend the night with him because, being a baker, Pierre gets up early — way, way earlier than Sandra would like. Also, his early hours tire him out so much so that he drops asleep during sex.

 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_b6caa5b4
comment
Operation: Jealousy: Sandra tries to use Aaina as her fake lesbian lover as a way to regain Cammi’s interest after Cammi has taken up with Ingrid. This is rather petty of her, as she can only act on her lesbian attraction to Cammi when she's drunk, and she's supposedly faithful to Pierre anyway, while Aaina has a genuine crush on her and is likely to end up hurt by this.

Where Everybody Knows Your Flame: Sandra decides to take Lavali out to pick up girls to help her get over her breakup, and asks Cammi for directions to the trendiest gay bar in the city. However, she forgot to specify that she was looking for a lesbian bar, and ended up getting this. Lavali, who never really wanted to go out in the first place, isn't too happy, but the heterosexual (until further notice) Sandra is delighted.

Karma: It's noticeable that characters in this comic sometimes get what's coming to them, for good or ill, rather more promptly or reliably than was the case in the parent comic. It may not be true karma, but it's a slightly more conventional, "karma"-prone sort of comedy storytelling.

Dating Do-Si-Do: The web of relationships in the comic is more of a Love Dodecahedron, so see the notes on that trope, but occasionally things are more consecutive than concurrent, and they shake out to more or a do-si-do by the end of the comic's run.

Shout-Out: There's a brief shout out to Adventure Time in the last panel of this strip. The name of this nightclub is one to Spirou & Fantasio with a twist of Bilingual Bonus. Might be unintentional, but it's shown that Tatiana has named her tablet "Yulia", which is the same name that the Male Undead Merchant in Dark Souls calls his large wooden basket (that he is in love with). When Nadine gets fake student IDs for herself and Eloise in order to infiltrate Alex and Marie's high school, the name she picks for herself is "Nadia de L'eauBleu".

Legacy Character: Sandra models as in-setting video game character "Carmen Chamelia", who, it turns out, she adored and idolised fourteen years ago. Note: Carmen is described in the comic as a "legacy character", but it's not entirely clear whether she fits the strict TV Tropes definition of the term, or whether she's simply a Continuity Reboot of the old character.

Generic Cuteness
 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_cc6d95ac
comment
Generic Cuteness: Widespread in this comic — not entirely surprisingly, given that it centers on the modelling business, but extending way beyond the model characters. For example: Sandra is treated as an ugly little peasant by Senna, Tatiana, and her model coaches, despite being a very cute young woman. That being said, these people are in a business where freckles alone are usually considered a deal-breaker. Tatiana, a seemingly innocuous and unassuming PA who is largely ignored by her photographer boss, can wear a minuscule miniskirt with complete effectiveness. Cammi, the agency's driver, looks like she ought to be one of its models. Her total self-confidence helps, but she has plenty to be confident about. Sandra and Lavali are awestruck by her butt. Meanwhile, Alex and Marie, a pair of geeks with no evident connection to the fashion business (until Marie is recruited by Zoé), are just adorable. Even Lavali, an office assistant at a games company who lacks the glamor and confidence of most of the cast, only needs a well-chosen dress and a few minutes with a stylist to be able to go out clubbing with three models without looking out of place. The phenomenon is somewhat lampshaded when the dazzlingly cute blonde Ingrid announces that she is "far too plain-looking" to follow her mother and sisters into the modeling business, to the confusion of Marie and Sandra.

Soap Wheel
 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_cdbd64b

Soap Wheel: A plotting technique that shows up increasingly as the story develops into something of a Soap Opera. For example, in volume 2, Sandra has both fashion and videogame modelling careers to develop, is sharing an apartment with Tatiana, and is starting a relationship with Pierre; Eloise wants to crush Sandra, and Nadine may help or restrain her; Marie has a possible relationship with Alex and a possible modelling career; both of them have friends, rivals, and admirers at their school to deal with; and Lavali's sexuality emerges as a theme. The focus of the strip thus jumps periodically from character to character and location to location.

Lighter and Softer: When compared to Ménage à 3. By and large, Karma runs far more effectively in this comic than in its parent series; you can more or less rest assured that characters who are Jerkasses in this comic will end up paying for their actions. Also, while this comic has its share of antagonists, most of them are very straightforward in what they do.

Ship Tease
 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_dcb9c541
comment
Ship Tease: There was a hint of teasing possible shippers (who did indeed then manifest on the comics' boards) when Sandra was interacting with Gary during the crossover with Ménage à 3 — despite Sandra's developing relationship with Pierre. Then Gary went back to Montreal. Still, this plot strand may resurface one day. Something on the lines of this trope may also be involved in the interactions between Marie and Alex — though that's really more of a simple, minor Will They or Won't They?.

Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain
 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_dfa71e43
comment
Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: A couple of borderline cases, stretching definitions of "sympathetic": Tatiana's frothing rage at Sandra makes her pretty ridiculous. However, she still manages to make Sandra's life hard at times. Tristan's attempts to recreate the "Carmen Chamelia" videogame franchise in line with his personal artistic vision rapidly collapse in the face of Sandra's impromptu popular revolution.

comment
Translation Convention: The linguistic situation in this comic is a little uncertain. It might seem that most of the characters would usually speak French; after all, it's set in Paris, and Sandra herself is a Canadian from Montreal who would be expected to speak that language. (The cast are an international bunch, though; for example, Domenico is Italian, Senna is Brazilian, and Tatiana seems to be Russian or Ukrainian.) But the rule seems to be that they usually speak English among themselves (a good number of jokes are English puns), with the use of other languages, including French, indicated by <translation brackets>.

Body Paint
 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_e1f90397
comment
Body Paint shows up a couple of times: It's briefly modelled by Sandra here, though even she doesn't know why. Later, Sandra considers body paint as a way to ease herself into posing nude, and asks Alex to do the painting. He can't refuse, but his panic at the prospect leads to a scene involving Marie's nervousness and Ingrid's confidence, while Alex's brain melts.

All Women Are Lustful
 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_e41a9801
comment
All Women Are Lustful: It's a sex comedy, so pretty well everyone is lustful, or at least interested in or prone to goinking at least one other character. But the trope is at least played with, in that the women are certainly at least as cheerfully enthusiastic as the men, from the irresponsible drunk title character to the shy but very actively lesbian Lavali, the Casting Couch-wielding Eloise, and the energetically promiscuous Nadine.

comment
Art Evolution: The comic actually underwent something of an art revolution in 2015, when the artist, by his own account, became bored and uncomfortable with the style he'd been making himself use, and switched to a looser approach (with some peculiarly long necks) which he enjoyed drawing more.

Alex and Marie, two teenage fans who Sandra acquires when she blunders into the videogames world, function as the comic's baseline geek presence. Their blog may play a significant part in the rapid growth of Sandra's online popularity.

Meanwhile, Alex and Marie, a pair of geeks with no evident connection to the fashion business (until Marie is recruited by Zoé), are just adorable. Even Lavali, an office assistant at a games company who lacks the glamor and confidence of most of the cast, only needs a well-chosen dress and a few minutes with a stylist to be able to go out clubbing with three models without looking out of place.

Crossover
 Sandra on the Rocks (Webcomic) / int_eb6da8ef
comment
Crossover: As well as spinning off from Ménage à 3, this comic has crossed over with that one. The story in question was foreshadowed by a couple of strips in the parent comic, but really began with a double image of the same moment here and here. Subsequently, for a while, alternate strips from each would begin with a re-drawing of the last panel from the other — though either comic could be read on its own and still make sense. Then the plot threads diverged a little more, although they continued to run in parallel for a few more strips.

Easily Forgiven: When Zoé takes her and the others to an expensive fashion boutique to make amends for what she did to Lavali, and then asks if this is acceptable, Lavali happily agrees — though the offer of new clothes from a place where she could never normally afford to shop evidently has a lot to do with that.

Fanservice Extra: Nameless attractive women show up periodically in the beds of the sexually highly successful Domenico and Cammi. Given that this is a comedy about modelling, and far from shy about a little fanservice, it can be expected to show a little attractive flesh in the background at other times too.

Running Gag: The same mother and young daughter repeatedly walk past Sandra after something particularly embarrassing happens to her, with the little girl pointing and commenting, and the mother trying to usher her past as quickly as possible. People are forever pointing out how hilariously archaic Sandra's Website, as built by Tatiana, is — largely for a reason which Sandra herself picks up first.
