The Whiteboard is an unusual paintball-themed Furry Webcomic about an Alaskan airsmith polar bear named Doc and his animal friends (all of them Funny Animals) as they play paintball, deal with ornery customers of Doc's shop, and cause crazy stuff to happen by building machines way more powerful than is necessary. Read it here. If you haven't read it, you can always start at the beginning. | |

All Men Are Perverts: To varying degrees, pretty much all of the males in the comic have made sexually charged comments about female characters, or in the extreme cases attempted to sneak peeks of the women in varying states of undress. | |

Tempting Fate | |
The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: In this strip it starts to rain, leading to Jinx commenting "at least it's not snowing." Bandit immediately replies "Shh! It might hear you!" Doc asks "What could possibly go wrong?" in this strip, when using explosives to take care of some seriously expired fridge food. Later, when locked in Doc's shop during the cleanup following the 2011 Zombie Apocalypse, Sandy asks what trouble the guys could get into playing a game of poker. She and Pirta realize the error of asking that question, in the second panel, and in the last panel she gets an answer, in response muttering "yeah, yeah, me and my big mouth." Invoked intentionally when the people at Red's paintball field can see a huge wildfire off in the distance. | |

Furries Are Easier to Draw | |
The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_183aadaf | comment |
Furries Are Easier to Draw: For years humans were drawn as people with floating heads. The non-human cast is drawn somewhat better, but only somewhat. The animals mouths are seldom seen, even when they're talking. They're usually only seen if they're shouting. The technical and mechanical devices though, oh-ho, they're drawn exquisitely! According to several posts by the author on the TWB forums in August 2011, he was working on overcoming the problem with drawing humans, with more human characters being given actual details instead of undefined "floating bubbleheads", and the results were impressive. But a few months later he decided to drop humans altogether. He did use generic human faces to replaced "the no-necks" when he retroactively coloured strips for winter and spring of 2012, but after that all one-shot characters have been anthropomorphic animals. Also of note is converting Larry and Daryl — the no-necks who gained some depth over time — to squirrels. | |

Only Six Faces | |
The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_18a84025 | comment |
Only Six Faces: The humans (for the most part, with the exception of a brief period in 2011) only have one face. The furry cast is more varied. Doc Nickel isn't above a bit of a Take That Me on the subject, as seen in this April Fools' Day strip. note See both right-hand corners of the grid. Also, in the comic detailing the different dalmations, they all look identical. | |

Visual Pun: Like many a Time Travel story, a time travel arc in May 2011 contains a pair o' Docs.note Play on "parodox", for those who missed the "pun" part. This strip calls Roger a tool for pressing a big red button, with the X-ray view while he was being zapped showing several of his bones being replaced by hand tools. Gino looks into Cara's background, complaining that the coffee menu is too blurry to read. | |

Clown Car: Red asks Doc if his truck was bought from a circus clown after seeing a bunch of players and gear being unloaded. Doc says no, but notes that it uses the same technology. Among the things located in the truck are a basement with a couch and big-screen TV, Barcaloungers with seatbelts, a desk, a tea cart, and a piano. | |

Who's Watching the Store? | |
The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_1f07a8bd | comment |
Who's Watching the Store?: Early on, the issue wasn't mentioned, Doc, Roger and Swampy played together, and the store was closed. Presumably, the town is too small for any competition (besides Walmart's crappy markers). As the cast grows, it's easier to find someone to stay (often Jinx)... but usually they all leave together, anyway. Two cases stand out: Doc did build a "Backup Airsmith Hologram", but it didn't work as intended. After the 32-month "Longest Day" storyline a series of strips shows Sandy and Pirta cleaning up the store after the day of disuse. Which looks more like decades. | |

I Need a Freaking Drink: Doc's antics regularly drive Red to drink. In a caffiene withdrawl-induced stupor, Doc blunders destructively about, tossing trees, prompting Red to pull out a flask. During a weekend where he winds up getting over a hundred players and being told that they're almost out of paint, Red requests the entire bottle of whiskey, rather than just a flask of it. | |

Limited Wardrobe: Doc's closet is shown to be filled with almost nothing but black T-shirts. In a Fourth-Wall Mail Slot comic he later explains that it's because they're cheap and hide grease stains. While Swampy's dresser is found to contain two paintball jerseys, one pair of pants, one pair of boxers, and two spare hats. | |

Artifact Title | |
The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_2b7d29e1 | comment |
Artifact Title: The first five strips were doodled on a whiteboard at the author's workplace, before being photographed for online publication. He changed to using a computer to create the comic after that. There was a sixth one on the whiteboard in honour of the Fourth of July, but after that, the titular medium was not used until five strips (June 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23, 2017) that commemorated the comic's 15th anniversary. Then Doc went back to doing the strips normally. | |

Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce: Howie's sells hot wings in several heat levels Hot, Extra Hot, Screaming Insanity and Death by Nuclear Inferno. The Nuclear Inferno wings are a bit too much for most mere mortals. Doc still finds them "A bit on the bland side" despite flames and smoke coming from his ears. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: There's a recurring joke about newbies trying to use paint grenades, which fit neatly into this trope due to the rarity with which they actually work.note And most paintball enthusiasts would debate the "awesome" part of the trope. Subverted when Doc goes on a caffeine-deprived rampage with a paint minigun and an invisibility cloak. He's eventually taken out by a paint grenade when 100+ players with high-tech markers couldn't hit him. The new prototype marker Robin won is so impractical that it requires a computer that nobody except overclockers would currently have: a Windows PC (with a 5 GHz processor and 32 GB of RAM), a USB 4 cable, fingerprint analyzer, neural port interface, retinal scanner, an Occulus Rift, and a note from your mother. The owner's manual is as thick as a telephone directory. It also requires knowledge in SQL (the database is needed for the Bernoulli Inducer Control maps), containment fields (for injecting tritium) and the use of a Cray supercomputer (which Roger happens to keep a spare in his truck for)! Just the list of the features it has make no sense: 5G capable, firing from the cloud, web-enabled fire modes and its own Facebook page! | |

Chivalrous Pervert: The main male (adult) characters are, well, guys, but they do have standards. Best shown during Pirta's first paintball game when some guy in a ghillie suit snapped a picture of her with his phone while she was in a state of undressnote she was stripping off some layers to better cope with the heat. Snow Leopards, heavy clothes, and Mr. Sun do not work well together. When the crew found out, Roger jammed the phone to keep it from getting onto the Web while Doc tracked the guy down and "persuaded" him and his friend to delete it. | |

Time Stands Still | |
The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_314c56b9 | comment |
Time Stands Still: Gained in a super-speed version by Doc at one point due to too many caffeinated energy drinks. We first see the world from everyone else's perspective involving multiple things (that Doc had touched) exploding and Doc suddenly being found several buildings over with multiple broken walls between his origin and destination. Then we see Doc's side of the story. While he doesn't have to deal with light shifting and air friction isn't much of a problem, he does have to deal with lack of friction between his legs and the floor and with inertia, both that of other objects and his own. | |

Open Mouth, Insert Foot: In this strip Pirta and Swampy get into a brief discussion of his nickname. After Swampy asks about her name in an idiot moment for him, he comments that he can skip the appetizer, as he'll just chew on his own foot. In this strip, a customer that's been hassling Pirta for a date is asked if he'd be okay with the situation were their positions reversed, and she were trying to get him to cheat on his girlfriend. He accidentally lets slip that he'd be fine with cheating on his girlfriend Jenny for a date with Pirta. He winds up thrown bodily out of the store after being beat up by Pirta for his troubles. | |

Guest Strip: On this page there's not only the regular strip by Doc Nickel involving a big red Schmuck Bait button, but an additional, related strip drawn by Commander Kitty writer Scotty Arsenault. Kathy Garrison of Carry On contributed several strips to hold things over while Doc Nickel was having computer problems, resulting in a week of non-canon strips featuring one of her Carry On characters, who had been given a cameo in this strip. note The guest strips are currently unavailable on the main site, but Doc N has said that he'll put them up on the sketchbook page when he gets a chance. | |

Doc is talking with a police officer, who asks "... a golf club?", to which Doc replies "Well, we did modify it a little." Whatever happened between Doc and Packrat has yet to be told, Red and Swampy's guesses being way off. | |

After a long session of planning strategy, Pirta points out to Jake that if he tries to get her up before 10 am, she'll staple his tail to the headboard of their bed. In one strip, Doc threatens Roger with removing Roger's tail (details left unsaid, but in context probably not gently) and sticking it in his ear. Don't call Tawny "Thunderbuns", or you'll end up sleeping on a couch, in a dumpster, whilst probably on fire. | |

Doc apparently has two suits of the stuff: the Mark III (His "Ref Armor") and the Mark V (Zombie Killer). Kasi borrows the later to stop Jinx, who'd been mutated by some of Doc's more experimental Mountain Dew. | |

Secret Test of Character: After Packrat steals the Wormhole gun, which could "erase reality as we know it" as Roger put it if misused, Doc has Pirta hit him hard enough so that he can visit the Jackal and ask him to help fix the mess. The Jackal says he can, but at the price of Doc's relationship with Cara, which was a product of the gun's disruption of probabilities. Doc hesitates for one panel before consenting, then races to Cara's coffee shop to check once he wakes up. The strips that follow his arrival suggest that things have changed accordingly, but this is subverted in the strip after. Doc then gets a message (via carrier) from the Jackal that he passed and "Time is not so fragile a thing". | |

In this strip Doc is shown to have been hit by multiple pies after Roger had pressed a button labeled "do not press". Sandy gets one here thanks again to Roger and that button he shouldn't be pushing. Weaponized on the paintball field, with Doc using a pie from Roger's lunch to tag out an opposing team member. "Pie tag!", courtesy of Bandit. The Mysterious Basement Vault arc of 2023 threw a pie. Unfortunately, it had been waiting so long, it was basically fossilized. | |

You Do NOT Want to Know | |
The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_47198ac4 | comment |
You Do Not Want To Know: A common reaction by the regulars when Sandy or Pirtanote moreso the latter, not having been around the gang for as long as the former asks about any particular weirdness happening. Miki describes one of her ex's interests this way. It's Pip from Sequential Art, by the way. | |

Rough Overalls: In strips 2348 and 2349, Pirta — who is repainting her apartment — is shown wearing overalls, likely to keep her regular clothes neat as painting is messy; she also has no undershirt. | |

What Would X Do?: Daryl asks himself that about Doc when on the field, but given Daryl isn't a rather large polar bear who runs a paintball shop, the possible answers don't do him much good. WWJMBD (John Moses Browning, often considered one of the gods of the firearm world.) Pirta asks herself what Doc would do, in a 1 vs 1 face-off against Tawny on the field, in this strip. The exact answer is never shown, but Pirta tries to surprise the opponent, and it almost works. Subverted when Tawny asks what would Doc do about hot weather. He simply puts cold beer in his pants, which irks Roger. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: At the start of the comic, the Funny Animal main cast were treated as something unusual in a human world. The author soon dropped the "something unusual" angle as not really being where he wanted to take the webcomic, and since then has gravitated over time towards making more of the characters anthropomorphic animals, finally going all-anthro in 2012. | |

Acquainted with Emergency Services: Doc has the emergency services, National Guard, and window replacement guys on speed dial. Another comic showed that the fire department has a switchboard indicating what emergency he needs them for now (many of them explosions of some sort). Anthony, a construction and repair contractor, decided to stop by Doc's shop and check if there was work to be done because he hadn't heard from him lately. | |

Driving Stick: Most cars have an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal. Manual equipped ones will add a clutch pedal. A few older cars and most full-sized trucks have an additional pedal to apply the parking brake. Doc's truck has 8 pedals for some reason. And a gear shift knob that looks like it operates a transmission in a big rig. Later on, Roger explains that Doc's truck ...has eighteen clutch pedals and a three dimensional shift pattern. | |

This Is the Part Where...: When describing to Red how her day has been so far on her first paintball game, Pirta says she's there because a refrigerator launched by an explosion, the restaurant she was working at was shut down due to contamination with some kind of toxic waste, and that she was brought out to the paintball field against her will. After a panel without a response, she comments that that's the time for him to show shock and dismay. He replies that except for the fridge part, her description of events was pretty normal for Doc's crew. Doc says "This is the part where you run screaming." here to Cara after admitting that he's probably dangerous to be around. She replies that she must be using a different script. | |

Imagined Innuendo: "Brass nipples" are an actual component of a paintball marker, contrary to what Pirta thought when a customer at Doc's paintball shop asks for some. When Packrat's porcupine friend wants the spheres that keep his spines from puncturing stuff removed, he says "Now help me loosen my balls, will ya?" His friends crack up, much to his embarrassment. | |

Viewers Are Geniuses: Some shout-outs are fairly old or obscure (or both) and there is some science which can be difficult to understand, such as Doc's explanation of teleporter physics. | |

Time-Freeze Trolling Spree: Doc takes advantage of caffeine-induced super speed to, among other things, re-arrange some furniture and give someone an atomic wedgie. Then, reality catches up, resulting in various explosions, fires, and Doc's comatose body being found a mile away. | |

Gargle Blaster | |
The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_67edaf78 | comment |
Gargle Blaster: Several cast members understand this trope. Doc's custom "weapons-grade" Mountain Dew can do strange things to those who consume it and aren't Doc, including a toxic or hallucinogenic effect, with the possibility of some kind of an unpredictable mutagenic effect that can turn the one consuming it into a monster. Doc asks for "a Dew and something interesting to chase it with." Howie serves up something from a glowing hot crucible here. In line with both Doc's and Howies's idea of how this trope should play out, it is spitting glowing hot embers. In keeping with the description of the original Trope Maker, it has ''interesting" results. His coffee also qualifies, as the reaction can be loud enough to be heard from the next room. | |

Expressive Ears: Especially applies to species with large triangular ears: foxes, lynxes, dogs, to lesser degree raccoons and housecats; lagomorphs too, but too large ears prove somewhat unwieldy. Swampy and Sandy are prime examples as foxes with most screen time. | |

Right Out of My Clothes: In an homage to Peanuts, when Doc gets hit with a giant snowball launched from a catapult, he's blown off-panel with a "POW!", and Charlie Brown's clothes (which he wasn't even wearing) sent flying into view in the last panel. To clean up players that have been soaked in paint from Doc's paintball machine gun, Bruno uses a pressure washer that blasts the players' clothes off of them in the process of getting them clean. | |

Four-Fingered Hands: In the first few strips, Doc was depicted with 5-digit hands, but shortly after the strip's name became an Artifact Title, the character design was changed to have 4-digit hands, with a note by the author explaining the change. Lampshaded, of course, when Jinx says it's like you need five-fingered hands to play Moonlight Sonata. | |

Idiot Ball: Frankly, Jinx. When the group encounter a "ghost" at a mansion, Jinx disappears. When they find him later, Jinx explains that when they saw a ghost, he spotted a dumbwaiter and tried to use it to go upstairs to see what was projecting it. Thing is, Doc made it CLEAR not to split up, and this is a dumbwaiter in an old, dilapidated house. When Jinx tried to use the dumbwaiter as an elevator (he's small enough to fit inside); the rope broke and the dumbwaiter crashed into the basement. Jinx is very lucky; not only did he survive the plunge with minor injuries, he ended up behind a boarded-up door and Doc was there to get him out. | |

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking | |
The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_808cbaeb | comment |
The new prototype marker Robin won is so impractical that it requires a computer that nobody except overclockers would currently have: a Windows PC (with a 5 GHz processor and 32 GB of RAM), a USB 4 cable, fingerprint analyzer, neural port interface, retinal scanner, an Occulus Rift, and a note from your mother. The owner's manual is as thick as a telephone directory. It also requires knowledge in SQL (the database is needed for the Bernoulli Inducer Control maps), containment fields (for injecting tritium) and the use of a Cray supercomputer (which Roger happens to keep a spare in his truck for)! Just the list of the features it has make no sense: 5G capable, firing from the cloud, web-enabled fire modes and its own Facebook page! | |

Bears Are Bad News | |

Bears Are Bad News: The comic has 4 bears, three of whom are bad news to anyone that happens to annoy them: The protagonist, Big Eater Gadgeteer Genius grumpy airsmith polar bear Doc. His friend and a regular client brown bear Bruno. Sometimes described as "old, fat and slow", but more of a Cool Old Guy. Another friend of Doc, bad-tempered scary-looking obnoxious panda Gino. Usually appears when situation already went out of control and escalates it or takes the story in entirely new direction. Like a skunk spray in the aftermath of zombie invasion. Averted so far with Cara, another polar bear and Doc's apparent love interest. She is surprisingly even-tempered. But she is still a polar bear.note Inspired by a documentary about mating polar bears. | |

Then she proves real, then they kiss and, most importantly, she doesn't mind being set on fire. Since then, Doc is often called "Morty" and has someone to actively try to impress. | |

Awesome Personnel Carrier: The 2010 Zombie Apocalypse story arc featured an apparently up-armed version of the APC from Aliens, its firepower consisting in part of an ungodly amount of guided missiles as well as several machine gun turrets. Before that, Doc fitted a regular M2A3 Bradley IFV with a hot tub, complete with girls and probably an entertainment system, as a gift for the Army after the Real Life capture of Saddam Hussein, in 2003. Sandy's simple 4 door car was very nearly turned into one of these, when she asked Doc to find out why the Check Engine light was on. She regretted it immediately, but by the next panel, Doc and Roger already had it mounted (upside down) on a lift and a set of missiles and a larger engine with a supercharger installed. | |

Overly Long Gag: Doc's lecture to Sandy and Pirta about the specifics of a CO2 tank, thankfully made a lot more tolerable with the girls' Lampshade Hanging | |

Furry Reminder | |
The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_a1d3ebd7 | comment |
Furry Reminder: While the funny animals in the cast for the most part act entirely human, sometimes animal behaviors can be seen. Jake, a skunk, turns into a spray grenade when surprised. He's also used this as a threat at least once. In the Oct 5, 2012 strip canine anthros are shown hanging their heads out of the windows of a moving truck as would Real Life dogs, and get called on it by the feline driver. Pirta reacting to a rat character as an ordinary cat would a mouse. Doc and Pirta, being a Polar Bear and Snow Leopard respectively, don't need to wear much during the winter months. In fact, they find it quite cozy, which irks the hell out of the rest of the cast. On the flip side, Pirta has a bit of a problem with the heat during paintball matches. Doc, of course, has his own method of heat control, to the annoyance of Roger who'd like to drink the beers in the cooler instead of having them used in Doc's pants. | |

When Roger heard his new BFG go off at the chronographer station: Doc tears open a door in the basement of his great-grandfather's rundown mansion and finds a room stacked to the ceiling with boxes labeled "explosives." 3 guesses what he says. Swampy is confused as to why this is a big deal since Doc and Roger play around with high grade explosives for fun on an almost daily basis. When Doc explains that it's old dynamite leaking unstable nitroglycerin that could be set off by the slightest breeze, Swampy steps on the gas outpacing Doc. | |

Schedule Slip: Not for the comic itself, but Doc's work orders in-universe. One (unfinished) order was apparently chiseled into a clay tablet when it was placed, the implication being it was sent in several millennia ago. Happens to the strip, from time to time. Usually accompanied by a filler cut-and-paste strip in which characters look like flounder with both eyes on the same side of their heads. Recently the author started using regular strips (like this one) with text replaced to some out-of-canon gag. Also accompanied by an explanation for why that day's strip isn't up. The filler strips never appear in the main archive, but some of the flounder strips can be seen here. | |

Must Have Caffeine | |
The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_bddb820f | comment |
Must Have Caffeine: Doc. Just like the man he's based on, Doc likes to spend long hours at the workbench and knocks back "pick-me-ups" like water. As a result he pretty much runs on the stuff, and he often resorts to brewing his own concoctions because the regular stuff "isn't strong enough". Course, in later strips it's gotten a bit exaggerated. In an early "Q and A" strip, Doc states that if he could have one superpower, it'd be "never need to sleep" Goes to ridiculous levels when the refrigerator full of Mountain Dew is crushed, the coffee machine wasn't fixed from its last misadventure, and Doc resorts to drinking energy drinks. By the 5-gallon bucket. Improving coffee machines is high on Doc's activity list. Like when having found a BMW motorcycle engine. | |

Ring-Ring-CRUNCH!: Subverted in this strip. Alarm clock rings. Doc's paw comes out from under the covers with what looks like a Colt 1911. Clock promptly shuts up. In this strip Doc applies the more common version of the trope, using a mallet to smash the alarm clock. | |

The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_c0e3994b | comment |
Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: The male characters are quite free to beat up other male character and the female characters are quite free to beat up male characters, but no males have been seen or mentioned as beating on females. This strip and the one after it shows that Pirta hit Doc hard enough for him to have another near death experience. This guy had been previously injured by the same person, you'd think he'd be justified a little payback. The same person punches someone out cold as a 'message' to Doc. Sensing a pattern? and again... | |

Lampshaded when Doc says, "This isn't a movie, and we're not going to try and hide the plot from whoever's watching, so I want everyone to know exactly what we plan to do." And the next panel says, "Twenty minutes later...." | |

Teleporters and Transporters: Doc made a "Pizza Teleporter" so he could get food in seconds. Unfortunately it only teleports to a specific spot on his counter, trying to send it to say, the field results in the toppings and crust separating or cheese blocking up an engine. At Howie's bar, Doc and Roger tried making a method to teleport beer to customers. It ate most of the bar instead. | |

Not That Kind of Doctor: While Doc may have been working on becoming a doctor at one point, judging from the boxes in his basement, in spite of the nickname he isn't actually one, but it beats having the ER staff laugh at you again. However, Doc's medical skills were probably why the ER staff laughed at him in the first place. Later, when he introduces himself to Cara he explains away the nickname as being due to Bugs Bunny cartoons. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard | |
The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_d397657d | comment |
Hoist by His Own Petard: Multiple hoisting operations have occurred here. For the 2004 Halloween storyline, the theme of the party was to wear as a costume whatever was being worn when Doc called the person to extend the invitation. The tables get turned on Doc when someone calls him with the invite, catching him when he was in the shower. When Swampy points out that Doc has been hoisted, in the next strip, we find out that it's Roger getting revenge for Doc catching him at the dentist office while getting some work done. A Rules Lawyer badger who was using a rules interpretation depending on a technicality about what counts as a hit to make things difficult for others playing at Red's field gets some comeuppance in this and the following few strips. When the badger seeks to complain about the Curb-Stomp Battle of everyone on the field against him, Jake points out that according to the same set of rules the badger was (mis)using, nothing says that the teams have to be the same size, complete with a Lampshade Hanging in the last panel of this strip. Another time, Swampy gets to point out that Sandy managed to hoist herself. The hoisting begins here, then this page, followed by this page, then Sandy discovers the crane, followed by Swampy's lampshade. | |

Toilet Humor: Poked fun at in this strip, lampshading the abruptly Aborted PVP/The Whiteboard crossover. Roger attempts to set up a camera to look in the ladies' restroom. There are a few problems with his plan: 1) it wasn't the ladies room Roger was crawling over, 2) it was Taco Day at the lunch wagon, and 3) Swampy is using the restroom at that particular moment. | |

Something Else Also Rises: In this strip from a trip into Doc's subconscious, he wishes a bunch of beautiful women into existence. He follows it up by wishing them naked, at which point the jackal with him has his sunglasses suddenly fly up off his nose with a "poing!". | |

Pass the Popcorn: Bandit and Roger enjoy a bowl of popcorn while listening to Doc smash the heck out of a telemarketer. The "Selling Tickets" variant happens occasionally too. And again during the 2013 Halloween party. A Fanservice strip (in both the literal and figurative sense) has Roger eating some while watching Sandy. When Doc and Roger are trying to get back to normal after switching species, Kasi is munching on some popcorn while Doc and Roger's attempts are going hilariously awry. Something caused an emergency door to slam shut, and Shoey has found the demolition saw. Pirta and Tawny stay and watch. | |

The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_e4c0b2b6 | comment |
Primal Scene: Of a sort. They're not Jinx's parents, but Sandy and Swamps are in a room having a romantic evening involving loads of salad oil. Said salad oil makes the doorknob too slippery to open. By the time they're let out of the room, Sandy desperately needs to relieve herself and practically knocks over Jinx as she runs to the nearest loo—wearing nothing more than her fur. According to Doc, Jinx spoke of the incident with "hushed, reverent tones", and he's pretty sure Jinx will be fine. Another time Jinx walked in to his parents' bedroom on Valentine's Day, fortunately they still had their underwear on as they drank wine by candlelight and he had no idea what was going on. | |

Webcomic Time | |
The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_e99f2959 | comment |
Webcomic Time: The characters often spend most (or all) of the summer of each year playing one-days-worth of paintball. Lampshaded all over the place: Comes up here first. Roughly a year later in real time, they've spent 6 months going to a one day game and invented a paintball gun that launches paintballs before the marker has even been turned on. Later, it comes up again in this strip. For those at the paintball field it's been only a few minutes, but for Pirta it feels like it's been two weeks. The most notorious use of this was one particularly epic day of paintball that took over 2 and a half years to tell. Red mentions not having seen his wife for that long,, while Pirta and Sandy end up hacking their way through the jungle to find the old store, which by then is covered in cobwebs. It even turns it up to eleven with a very outdated political banner. The next afternoon, which itself took half a year to tell, had a running gag of Sandy finding her desk lavishly decorated based on whatever real-world holiday was happening at the time. Then she makes sure it will never happen again. Since Cara's first appearance she spends the night with Doc, wakes up late, is the rest of the day at work and then meets up with Doc in her home. She then proceeds to hang a lampshade on what amounts to a day in the comic taking a year in realtime. A page from October 2019 features Cara selling coffee at a fogged in registration booth. The most recent storyline started January 3, 2022 with a major snowstorm, resulting in the shop being completely snowed in, and Doc spending the day holding a beach party at an indoor swimming pool. When Mikki said the next day that it would take a few days for the snow to be cleared, Doc took them outside to show that it was now autumn—these two strips having run that September. Cara wonders if it's attributable to global warming. Mikki thinks bad writing may be the culprit instead. | |

Duct Tape for Everything: Doc uses duct tape to fix anything, as well as using it to remind people not to take off their helmets during a paintball match. Usually because he can't find the stapler instead. As a temporary repair to Jake's car after the driver side front door is broken off its hinge, duct tape is used to stick it back on the car. | |

Finally Found the Body: When Packrat was thwarted in his attempt to steal the Wormhole Gun he and his team vanished, with only Roger and Doc remembering them even being at the field. When Doc and the gang are investigating a house that might belong to Doc, they discover things did NOT go well for Packrat. | |

The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_f251d0ee | comment |
Behind a Stick: In this strip, during a paintball match Bandit peeks out from behind a tree that is in no way thick enough to actually hide him, even with his normal slenderness. His peeking out almost makes it look like his head and neck are sprouting from the tree like a branch. Taken to extremes (or taken to something) when Bandit manages to hide behind HIMSELF. | |

The crew of The Whiteboard, after (or in the middle of) a particularly interesting New Years' party (and that's saying something), manages by accident to create a coffee strong enough to cure astigmatism, boost intellect, and add a cup size to women. The effects are temporary. | |

Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My! | |
The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_f61cddc9 | comment |
Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!: Originally the regular cast members were funny animals in a world where many of the people were featureless "bubblehead" humans, due to furries being easier to draw, but starting in 2012 the artist started using funny animals exclusively for all characters, regulars or otherwise. Fan-favorite recurring "bubbleheads" Larry and Daryl became squirrels, from suggestions on the forum. | |

Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: To celebrate the 1500th strip, a big can-can line appears out of nowhere on Red's paintball field with most of the main cast, leaving behind some debris in the last panel along with a very confused Pirta. invoked The other bar patrons witnessing the Big Damn Kiss between Doc and Cara. A real jaw-dropper for those who thought Doc would strike out. | |

Drives Like Crazy | |
The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_f96f188c | comment |
Drives Like Crazy: Doc tends to drive several times speed limit. On mountain roads. With little regard to warning signs and barriers. Often in heavily modded vehicles. Roger's unexpected improvements to the vehicles contribute to crashes too. The cast are OK with that, if a bit nervous, but do warn newcomers. And sometimes even they can be surprised. Of all people, Cara, who used to ice race, is capable of this. She once drove from her coffee shop to the paintball field, a trip that would take Doc twenty minutes, in five. In a Volkswagen Beetle. | |

Gadgeteer Genius: Both Doc and Roger are very good at what they do. When they work together, they make very dangerous machines like Powered Armor or markers that mess with the time-space continuum. Jinx seems to be on the way to becoming one, after figuring out how to connect a taser to a bullwhip. His father also expressed concern over his skill with a propane torch. | |

Comically Missing the Point: When Sandy is railing against "upgrades" done to her car by Doc (which include offensive weaponry) in this strip, he insists on pointing out the difference between rockets and missiles (unguided versus guided), a launcher for the latter mounted on her car. All Sandy wanted was a MINOR tune-up to bring her car's performance back up to factory spec. | |

Brick Joke | |
The Whiteboard (Webcomic) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: Several bricks take a long time to come back. A long time coming. Early on in the comic, Doc makes a comment about how he keeps a bone around for anti-cheating and safety lectures, so people take his threats of eating them seriously. Cut to a few years later, when Bandit recalls his first experience with paintball... Doc's Special Grenades. First used in a game of Everyone vs. Larry And Daryl (where Daryl tossed it says it's "The best 40 bucks he ever spent". More than 6 years later, it's STILL the best 40 bucks he ever spent! If this counts, it's one over 15 YEARS in the making! The week of June 19-23, 2017 was done in the same marker-on-whiteboard technique as the first 5 "strips". Behold the third strip, published June 20, 2002, which has Doc asking if he should burn the shop down, delete the website, shave his head and move to Tibet. Fifteen years (and two days) later: he's living in the mountains, wearing a monk's robe and has shaved his head. The very first strip also got a follow-up about Doc's tardiness. The wormhole gun took almost exactly 20 years to return, with an intermediate return in the middle. It is first seen demonstrating itself here, on August 11th, 2003. It gets fired in the next strip. Late May and early June of 2011 gave us the "Playing with Wormholes" arc. On July 7th 2023, Doc examines the contents of a forgotten vault in the basement, which is never commented on afterwards. And somehow yet again on December 11th 2023 at a mansion Doc's great-grandfather had built (who is the same one that built the forgotten vault in the basement in the above example) being apparently utilized as a power source. In a newly discovered basement of Doc's shop, Doc and Roger speculate what's behind an intimidating door, with Roger suggesting a hundred year old box of leaky dynamite. Fast forward a year to when the group is exploring the basement of Doc's great-grandfather's mansion, and Doc rips open a door with exactly what Roger speculated only 1000 times worse. | |
