The Word Weary (sometimes called The Word Weary Comic) is a Stick-Figure Comic webcomic about disappointment, loneliness and love centered around John Kossler, an Author Avatar, and his friends.The author, John Kossler, makes light of his depression and his position as the omega male in his group of friends. When the comic begins, the audience is introduced to Yorick Kingsley, a performance artist who is somewhat mean to John, Jason Kirkwood, a hard drinking misogynist philosopher and the only member of the group who was in a relationship when the comic started, and Sam Kirkwood, Jason's younger brother and the voice of reason in the group. Soon the characters meet Harry the Hipster and his girlfriend, Elly, an independent Fiery Redhead, to whom John finds himself instantly attracted. Later introduced are Lillith, a girl who plays Dungeons and Dragons and thinks Nerds Are Sexy, her friend, Grace, who prefers being alone to having to deal with immaturity (while still deeply wanting to love and be loved), and Lillith's socially awkward stalker, Nick Trotmann (who's ALSO implied to be an Author Avatar).The comic is heavily Slice of Life (almost to the point of being a Journal Comic) and much of the humor comes from the friction between the character's personalities. Kossler makes use of puns, Black Comedy, sarcasm and the occasional Bottom of the Barrel Joke. Strewn throughout are Wham Episodes in which all pretense of humor is dropped and the emotions of the characters are explored... but these are pretty rare.The Word Weary is notable for its tight narrative (issues #4-#79 comprise one day in Webcomic Time) and attention to continuity while maintaining the humor. Kossler has also mentioned numerous times that he tries to make the female characters in the comic as realistic and relatable as possible- while still featuring misogynistic male characters. The comic updates on the 10th, 20th and 30th of each month at 6:00pm Eastern US time. | |

All Men Are Perverts: John sure does like Elly's breasts. He does his best not to show it, though. Elly's breasts seem to attract a lot of attention- John, Mike and little Emile all seem fascinated by them. | |

Misanthrope Supreme: Many, many of the characters. "Why bother cultivating this girl if you're not going to plough her?" "Just imagine everyone you know disappointing you monumentally! That way you get the satisfaction of being right when they inevitably do and you've gained an important skill! It's called 'foresight!'" "Yeah, buying shit I don't need with money I don't have to make myself feel better when I have no reason to do so. Fun." | |

Alt Text: Usually just another joke or John's feelings about the comic in question. Usually. We've seen: An overly detailed personal history of a minor character. Algebraic notation of Scholar's Mate. A long-winded story about the Russian response to the Napoleonic invasion of Austria that happened to take place in a Dallas bar. | |

Lampshade Hanging: Grace gets chewed out by her boss for her recent tardiness and points out that she called in the previous Thursday.

The Word Weary (Webcomic) / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: Inverted. It's a stick figure comic (the female characters' breasts are... interesting) but when the characters are playing D&D, the monsters and villains are drawn more realistically. In the comic in which John apologizes for missing two weeks of updates, the monsters again show a level of sophistication that doesn't appear in the comic proper. | |

The Word Weary (Webcomic) / int_55fa41e2 | comment |
Nietzsche Wannabe: A surprising number of characters have made nihilistic tirades: Jason is the most prominent example as the majority of advice he gives seems to be based on a wholly pessimistic worldview. Harry also fits into this trope as he believes everyone he knows will end up disappointing him monumentally. The author may be playing with the trope as all of the Nietzchian monologues are made for comedic effect, possibly signaling that he finds the viewpoint absurd. | |

Smoking Is Cool | |
The Word Weary (Webcomic) / int_596f675a | comment |
Smoking Is Cool: Played straight: Grace is the only character introduced so far who smokes cigarettes regularly. She seems more relaxed and at peace with the world than the other characters. She also has a nerdy white friend who looks up to her. Inverted: Poor Trotmann is the opposite of cool and he smokes hookah at the lounge in which John works. | |

Modesty Bedsheet: Parodied when Elly finds John lying naked on her floor and covers herself in a towel. He wonders to himself why she would bother covering her body if they've had sex. This is justified since she doesn't remember having sex with him and thus wouldn't feel comfortable being naked around him. | |

Stalker with a Crush: When Poor Trotmann is introduced, he's staring longingly at a picture of Lillith. Later he tells John she has a boyfriend even though she doesn't. | |

I Wrote Our Story | |
The Word Weary (Webcomic) / int_8f9da5ca | comment |
I Wrote Our Story: John Kossler is writing a webcomic about John Kossler writing a webcomic. While trying to think of ideas to write his next issue (to be released the next day), it's mentioned John has already completed three. Later at the bar he talks about stealing Yorick's shirt as the punchline for his joke- which was indeed the punchline of issue four of the series. Thus Day One of the comic takes place on March 14, 2011. | |

Art Shift | |
The Word Weary (Webcomic) / int_912b24c4 | comment |
Art Shift: During the parts of the series that take place in the Dungeons and Dragons game the characters are playing, the normally bright color palette is replaced with black and white. The monsters featured in the game are also drawn more realistically, with the notable exception of the White Satyr. It's subtle, but the color palette becomes much more drab after the start of the second day. (See Darker and Edgier). During the "Guest Comic Week" that John Kossler admitted he had authored himself, there is a furry comic, a Photo Comic and a parody of Peanuts. | |

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Most titles are names of songs or albums, but the three issues that end with the phrase "there's no way this can end badly (see Arc Words) all end with a variation on "No Way..." Issue 96, in which John and Elly have a conversation but their dialogue isn't written, has no title. The title of issue 61 is the number 61 written in binary and the title of issue 64 is simply called "Nintendo." | |

Evil Debt Collector | |
The Word Weary (Webcomic) / int_d171a8c1 | comment |
Evil Debt Collector: Played with: In this comic Stan Becks calls Elly and tells her she has to pay back her recently deceased mother's credit card debt, which Morris later reveals is illegal. Though the debt collection ruins Elly financially, the comic implies Stan is just doing what he has to do to save his job. | |

Bottom of the Barrel Joke | |
The Word Weary (Webcomic) / int_d2f06a6f | comment |
Bottom of the Barrel Joke: Issues #35 and #72 fall into this category; the former being a gay joke and the latter a fart joke. The author lampshades this in both instances. | |

You Are Not Alone | |
The Word Weary (Webcomic) / int_d44ea142 | comment |
You Are Not Alone: Judging by one of the comments the author left in response to a fan who took the comic's themes of loneliness and alienation to heart, John Kossler views his entire comic as one reminder to people that he too feels alone and alienated but finds humor in his situation. YMMV on how effective he is at this. | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Subverted with Elly (who's dating a man who cries after being made fun of) and Lillith (who "has a boner" for nerds.) Played straight with Grace, who admits she's really attracted to self-involved men. | |

Male Gaze: Though the comic never frames a scene around women's breasts, it's mentioned many times that John pays attention to little else when talking to women. "Look! You can see her boobies jiggle!" | |

Art Evolution: Prior to strip 80, all the Caucasian characters were #FFFFFF white. After the beginning of the second arc, Kossler gave them actual skin color and began shading them. One commenter wondered if he were trying out new styles and layouts during his "Guest Strip" week, which immediately preceded that comic. | |

Webcomic Time | |
The Word Weary (Webcomic) / int_e99f2959 | comment |
Webcomic Time: Every comic from issue four until 79 WAS ONE DAY. Issue five indicates it's 3:30 in the afternoon and issue 29 states it's almost 9 at night. That means that, in the six weeks that passed between their release, it's only been a few hours. The trend continues in Day Two. As of this writing, it's about lunchtime the day after the story proper starts... which means that, in 140 comics and over a year of updates, it's only been about 24 hours. | |

Talking to Themself | |
The Word Weary (Webcomic) / int_fb8b5014 | comment |
Talking to Themself: John and Poor Trotmann refer to themselves in the second person during their one-man conversations. Sam takes this to the next level by talking to one of his hallucinations. A very meta example: During the infamous first guest comic week that John authored himself, each comic was prefaced with the correspondence between him and the person making the guest comics. Since he wrote them himself, he was literally talking to himself. Elly when she's trying to console herself. | |
