| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) | comment |
Spying with Lana is a comic series by Sean Harrington. It follows the adventures of the eponymous character, who is a spy. However, unlike most female spies (we think), Lana often disguises herself as a hooker or a Sexy Secretary (with emphasis on the sex part). Oh, and did we mention that she's a mean fighter, even (perhaps especially) when she's naked?A charm of the series (aside from the rather NSFW content, according to your mileage) is the comedy as Lana handles her assignments (and copes with the stupidity/incompetence she sees around her). It's also way on the Silly end in the Sliding Scale of Silliness vs. Seriousness.The comic is updated every Monday and can be read here. So far, 29 stories have been completed and are available. | |

Beneath Notice | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_101500e | comment |
Beneath Notice: Another part of Lana's MO, especially if she's pretending to be an ordinary prostitute. Many of her opponents clearly do not expect (a) a prostitute to be an agent or (b) an agent to have a hooker's "special skills". | |

Hanlon's Razor | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_118a2d16 | comment |
Hanlon's Razor: Grey's Law is invoked by the chief. Besides sending Lana into missions with faulty intelligence, he would also at times withhold the mission's true objectives from her. In Case #1, Lana thought that her task of infiltrating a group was the important part of the mission. As it turns out, the very fact that she was even assigned to a relatively unimportant mission was the crucial point. In "Grand Prix", Lana assumed that the data her team had retrieved was the important part of the mission. The true aim of the mission is to discredit the person from whom the data was stolen. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: It may or may not be intentional, but Lana strongly resembles the young Joan Jett, if Joan Jett were about a foot taller, had fake boobs and were an ass-kicking spy. | |

Full-Frontal Assault | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_18ce8f1d | comment |
Full-Frontal Assault: Lana does get into fights while being naked. If she's not naked when she starts fighting, it's likely that she'll get stripped naked during the fight. She may also remove her own clothing to use as a weapon. One way or another, she usually ends up wearing nothing. | |

Unwanted Assistance | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_24b88e85 | comment |
Unwanted Assistance: The incompetence of her fellow agents means that Lana likes to work alone. "The Upside Down Case" is one example of such incompetence. To elaborate: In "Grand Prix", Lana once again teams up with Josh (her partner in "The Upside Down Case"). When her shoulder is hit by his shot, she considers it an improvement. "The Upside Down Case" has a flashback where Josh shot her in the torso. Averted in "The Late Show", where her partner is actually competent. | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: In "Tricks of the Trade", the man on Lana's escape yacht was singing parts of "La donna è mobile" ("The woman is fickle" in Italian), the Duke of Mantua's canzone from the beginning of act 3 of Giuseppe Verdi's opera Rigoletto. Interestingly, while the song was an ironic one in the original play (the duke being the "fickle" one), it is appropriate here as Lana is indeed the "fickle woman". In "Grand Prix", Cliff uses "casa" ("house" in Spanish) to describe his room. In "The Cat's Meow", "garçon" ("boy" in French) is used to address a waiter. note Do not try this with the French. French waiters prefer "monsieur". In "Second Skin", one thug is named Paua. "Paua" is the Maori name for "abalone". | |

Eskimos Aren't Real | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_2e0c6c38 | comment |
Eskimos Aren't Real: Played with. In "The Upside Down Case", when Lana's partner asks who she is over the radio, she sarcastically replies that she is the Marquess of Queensberry. Turns out that the title is real note The 9th Marquess lent his name to a set of boxing rules. A straight example would be in Case #10, where one suspicious henchman questions her on medical terms like "systolic over diastolic". Lana teases him by claiming that he made those words up. In fact, that is indeed how you describe a person's blood pressure. (In this case, it's likely that Lana has a good grip of her audience's intelligence [i.e. not much] and decided to Mind Screw the simpletons, knowing that they can't tell whether they had been lied to or not.) | |

Statuesque Stunner | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_2fb61faa | comment |
Statuesque Stunner: Lana is a very tall woman, sometimes nearly as tall as the men around her. Although the lady being escorted by her in "It Girl" claims that she's "too short to be a showgirl". (Then again, this is a person whom Lana has to explicitly explain to that she's a secret agent.) | |

Strange Minds Think Alike: In "Ring of Fire", Lana is given a long overdue vacation and the boss sends her to his favourite vacation resort. Lana comments she never pictured him as vacationing on a tropical island, instead thinking he would visit a riviera. At the end he reveals he gave her the wrong tickets and meant to send her to a five star hotel on a riviera. | |

| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_49fb5ccb | comment |
Combat Pragmatist: Lana will pull every trick in the book to win a fight. Fighting naked to induce Underestimating Badassery is just one example. At one point, the guys she's trying to take down are interrupted by another bunch of guys who want to fight them. The two sides beat each other into unconsciousness and then Lana steps out of the cupboard she was hiding in and steals the thing that she was trying to steal all along. | |

Honey Trap | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_4cacfcc3 | comment |
Honey Trap: Part of Lana's modus operandi, although she doesn't always enjoy the sex (especially if her boss had assigned her the mission due to her "special talents"). In fact, she describes herself as "a hooker with a security clearance", a rather unfair but not entirely inaccurate self-assessment. (Though as someone reminds her, a hooker works on commission, and she's on salary.) | |

Improvised Weapon | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_4de1a4f7 | comment |
Improvised Weapon: Lana loves using objects to bash her opponents in the head. In "The Cat's Meow", she deconstructs the concept. Improvised weapons are truly effective only if the user is experienced with that style of fighting. When a call-girl tries to attack Lana with a chair, she easily subdues the call-girl. | |

The Only One | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_6a61050e | comment |
The Only One: Played with. The agency which Lana works for probably has more than its fair share of incompetent people (including and especially the chief). However, said chief does have the saving grace of assigning Lana to "take care" of the competent criminals so that the relatively incompetent rest of the agency can mop up the others. On balance, this meant that said agency has a very good chance of getting things done. | |

Lust Object | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_6dac7d2e | comment |
Lust Object: Lana in "Object of Desire", to several fellows. All at the same time. Once again, the root cause is the chief's incompetence. | |

Excuse Plot | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_70d8269d | comment |
Excuse Plot: Let's be honest; the plots are basically reasons to (a) get Lana naked (or close), (b) get Lana having sex, and (c) get Lana shooting guns, riding fast vehicles and blowing shit up. Often overlapping with (d) at least two of the aforementioned happening simultaneously. And a healthy dose of (e) laughing at Lana's reactions and misfortunes as the incompetence of the agency gets to her. | |

Clark Kenting | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_7175cb16 | comment |
Clark Kenting: The bomber in "Object of Desire" disguises himself by wearing thick glasses. While the chief was fooled by it, Lana sees through the disguise right away. The Trope Namer is given a Shout-Out (the chief really does not know that Clark Kent is Superman). | |

Mugging the Monster | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_7276d0de | comment |
Mugging the Monster: Call-girls attacking a secret agent? Qualifies as this. Later, it becomes Bullying the Dragon as the same girls (still nursing their wounds from the first time) try to mug Lana again. While they draw blood this time, Lana still hands them their asses. In "Action Squad", Lana herself goes up against a thug who is much more muscular than she thought. | |

Brainy Brunette | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_8748f851 | comment |
Brainy Brunette: Lana is smart enough to quote Latin proverbs and Robert Frost's poetry note Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening in "Ring of Fire". She is also able to think quickly on her feet. In "Flashbang!", at a costume party, she sees her target dressed up as Vegetto. She then mentions Pan (another Dragon Ball character) and building a perfect-grade Qubeley. As expected, her target's attention is soon focused on her.note Although it should probably be acknowledged that the fact that she's also a statuesque busty brunette who, at that point, was wearing nothing but construction hard hat, a pair of suspenders and tight hot-pants probably didn't hurt either. | |

Ethical Slut | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_8c170cb1 | comment |
Ethical Slut: Played with; Lana is frequently disgruntled that her job basically requires her to be "a hooker with security clearance", but given how frequently she resorts to sex to further her purposes or for leisure, she does appear to have a naturally high sex drive and enjoy sex in and of itself. Her objections seem to be more that the work isn't particularly fulfilling, no-one takes her seriously, the people's she's dispatched to seduce are usually sleazy scumbags, and almost all of the people she finds herself working with are complete morons. | |

Busman's Holiday: In "Ring of Fire", the chief sends her on vacation to an island resort, which is then invaded by a revolutionary force which Lana must thwart singlehandedly. She accuses the chief of setting this up deliberately, but he denies it and realises he gave her the wrong ticket and has had a combat team stationed in a five-star hotel in a riviera for several weeks. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity: Lana's most common tactic to infiltrate some enemy organization is to pretend being a mere oversexed bimbo with little brains.

The Ace: Lana is the best her agency has to offer. Deconstructed in that her being the best in her agency meant that her talents are not fully utilized as her chief's incompetence limits her effectiveness as an agent. It also means that she often either has to spend a whole bunch of time and effort cleaning up the agency's unnecessary messes or that she ends up doing everything pretty much single-handed. | |

A straight example would be in Case #10, where one suspicious henchman questions her on medical terms like "systolic over diastolic". Lana teases him by claiming that he made those words up. In fact, that is indeed how you describe a person's blood pressure. (In this case, it's likely that Lana has a good grip of her audience's intelligence [i.e. not much] and decided to Mind Screw the simpletons, knowing that they can't tell whether they had been lied to or not.) | |

Hunting the Most Dangerous Game: During the story of "The Hero Position", Lana's antagonist throws her into his private game reserve with intent to hunt her down. Lana immediately identifies the trope by name, and is very annoyed, because "every two-bit crackpot in the world" seems to be fixated with it; she regards it as contemptibly lame. | |

Fake Boobs | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_d42626f9 | comment |
Fake Boobs: Lana has had breast implants, and her breast size is double D (both revealed in "The Upside Down Case"). And they do get in the way from time to time. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: In "The Case of the Mixed-up Case", the agency sends in a male replacement for Lana as she has blown her cover (and in the middle of a gun fight). The male agent calls a literal time-out and basically worms his way into the enemy's side, allowing Lana to escape. This is also part of Lana's MO. Doing stuff like sabotaging boats, escaping with a secret prototype handcuffed to you and fighting thugs? Standard fare for any secret agent. Doing those while being naked? Ridiculous to many, but to her, it's just another day's work. An aversion of the trope is actually used as a plot point in "Grand Prix". The sheer ridiculousness of two naked women fighting at the back of his car, along with other over-the-top factors (driving naked and crashing his car among them), meant that Cliff becomes a laughing stock, and subversive groups will never again entrust him with any work. | |

Sex for Services | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_d80e9526 | comment |
Sex for Services: In an unusual take on the trope, Lana will have sex with you if you've provided decent help to her, especially if you're a hot-looking stranger. Just ask the guys from "Tricks of the Trade", "It Guy" and "The Morning After". In "The Morning After", it becomes a Running Gag as Lana uses sex to shut her partner up whenever he starts stating his actual request in return for his services: busting his uncle out of a high-security prison. | |

Pointy-Haired Boss | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_dc3b74bc | comment |
Pointy-Haired Boss: Lana's boss is one, with his general incompetence and tendency to get Lana to do trivial things. That Escort Mission Lana undertook in "It Girl"? All the other lady did was to sell the chief a laptop that he's not satisfied with. His screw up in "Ring of Fire" costs Lana her vacation and throws her into an assignment which she's initially unprepared for. In "The Late Show", his inability to pronounce the name of the project he wants stolen causes Lana and her partner problems. | |

Cat Fight | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_dceccabf | comment |
Cat Fight: Lana has had several female opponents. While the fights can get brutal, they are also quite sexual. Lampshaded by Lana herself, when another female character challenges her to a naked catfight, and Lana tells her that she has a black belt in naked catfighting. | |

Unluckily Lucky | |
| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_e00b1dc1 | comment |
Unluckily Lucky: On balance, Lana's luck trope is this, although she firmly believes that she is Born Unlucky, as her boss sends her on assignments without proper preparation on his part (or the agency's), or on trivial matters. Regardless, she has always emerged victorious. | |

| Spying with Lana (Webcomic) / int_e0b6edec | comment |
Only Sane Woman: Lana thinks that she's this when it comes to the agency. Given the chief's incompetence (along with many fellow agents'), she has a point. Subverted on the rare occasions when she interacts with civilians outside of the spy business, as they are naturally somewhat taken aback by her and how quickly and willingly she resorts to sex and violence to achieve her aims. It's not so much that Lana loses her sanity, but she's just become so immersed and jaded in her lifestyle that she doesn't see how weird it is from the outside. | |
