| School Spirit (Webcomic) | comment |
School Spirit is a Webcomic written and drawn by Daniel Vanderwerff. It features the various misadventures of a gaggle of Australian primary school children and the spirits in the cemetery next door. While it is written primarily as a humour comic, generally each update being four panels long, the short story arcs of School Spirit generally follow on from each other to tell a meandering, ongoing story where many of the story arcs lead on or to those earlier of further adead.Casper and Cody can both see and hear the spirits in the cemetery next door to the school, young Wendy being their main friend on that side of the fence. One of two of the other children are at least vaguely aware there's something a little different happening in the cemetery, but for the most part the rest of the children in the cast carry on with their own lives and adventures alongside Casper, Cody and Wendy. The strip is plainly Australian, featuring Australian culture, language and themes and flavours familiar of those growing up in the country.Not to be confused with the animated webseries School Spirit, which instead involves a haunted university, and created and primarily animated (and also voiced, at least for the main character) by Fil-Am animator and web personality Sapphire Sandalo and released under the SNARLED channel. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| School Spirit (Webcomic) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Only happens on occasion, and usually only with a knowing look from a character towards the reader. Happens a little more frequently and obviously during the stand alone specials, usually with the character talking to the reader about something, particularly the Culture and History lesson strips, for example. | |

Hurricane of Puns | |
| School Spirit (Webcomic) / int_2937826d | comment |
Hurricane of Puns: The author loves bad jokes. Several times entire story arcs have revolved around bad puns based on particular themes or topics. If a joke is bad enough to use once, it's bad enough to use six times. | |

Smart People Wear Glasses: Brylcreem... and his big, thick glasses. Mr. Kelly also wears glasses, probably mainly because he is old, but he is also the principal, so in the kids' eyes, that makes him the smartest teacher, right? | |

| School Spirit (Webcomic) / int_74e2ef76 | comment |
Orphaned Punchline: Several appear at the start of individual strips, usually to sneak a not-so-polite joke into the strip and to show the kids are having a conversation of their own before being interrupted with whatever the strip wants them to do! | |
