Unwinder's Tall Comics is a metafictional Magic Realism Slice of Life webcomic by Wilson "Eli" Parker, also known as the creator of Powerup Comics. The comic is a satire of modern youth culture—particularly the oversaturation of trivialities and entertainment—and an Affectionate Parody of suburban Minnesota.At the heart of the comic is Unwinder, a kid who's clearly a little too Genre Savvy for his own good: wildly inventive, yet completely incapable of recognizing the fine line between creativity and idiocy. He thinks rock bands should play pranks on the audience instead of music. He consumes entertainment solely so he can reference it in his conversations. He sends unsolicited scripts for TV ads to Taco Bell. He invents internet memes, then invents webcomics solely to spread these memes. He is, in short, a product of the Information Age Gone Horribly Right.Rounding out the central cast are Unwinder's eternally cheerful maybe-girlfriend, Mildred; his friend and punching bag, Barbecue Sauce; and the Only Sane Man, Horse-Man.There is no overarching plot, though the humor is becoming increasingly dependent on continuity. The comic updates irregularly, usually on Saturdays.It also features what may possibly be the most accurate examination of TV Tropes, ever. |

Arbitrary Skepticism: In "Dreamtigers", Barbecue Sauce dreams about Unwinder building an basketball court inside his house (with an antigravity field generator), then turning into the Eleventh Doctor and stepping into his TARDIS. Then he utters the Tenth Doctor's catch-phrase, and that's what finally convinces Barbecue Sauce that he's dreaming. |

The Greys: Unwinder resembles one of these, but Parker is deliberately vague regarding his true nature. The old Rant below "A Proposal to Facebook" (the first comic to reveal Unwinder's last name) used to read, "Basically I tried to choose a name that would not settle the issue of whether he is an alien, or just Swedish." |

The Omnipresent: In the in-universe short story "The Gimel" (which appears in "Dreamtigers" and "The Secret Miracle"), Soncho Michez finds a Gimel at the bottom of a barrel. It causes him to exist everywhere in the universe at once for as long as he touches it. (The whole story is an Affectionate Parody of Jorge Luis Borges' "The Aleph".) |

Small Name, Big Ego: For all that Chad and Jason like to portray themselves as gods of gaming (both here and in Powerup Comics), they get quite embarrassingly beaten by Dr. Minivan, who apparently has never even heard of Halo before. Felicity thinks her webcomic is a big enough deal that everyone around her is trying to get featured in it. |

In-Universe |

comment |
Both of those comics are In-Universe examples, too. In Your Guess Is as Good as Mine, Felicity just takes real conversations and makes the other person look stupid while her Author Avatar rolls her eyes. And Prudence's real purpose for writing Six Daze is "to imply that anyone who she's annoyed with at the moment is going to go to hell." |

Lip Losses: Barbecue Sauce has an odd character design where he's constantly baring his teeth, no matter his facial expression.

(Though the author's commentary below this page notes that it's probably not canon.) |

Hatedom: invoked Unwinder has a complicated relationship with Gary P. Rastov's novels. He has a lot of criticism for the books' shortcomings and professes to hate them... yet he's read the entire series three times, and even read the autobiography of Gary's son, Warren, in hope that it would shed some light on who Gary was. Happens again with Felicity's Your Guess Is as Good as Mine. Unwinder hates the comic so much that he takes it upon himself to make Felicity improve by heckling her. He proceeds to read the entire archives and leave disparaging comments on nearly every page. |

Shallow Parody: invoked Discussed in The Rant and played with. In one strip, Eli Parker admits that he doesn't know very much about Lady Gaga at all—so instead of making a joke about Lady Gaga, he made a joke about his characters not knowing very much about Lady Gaga. Then for the strip about K2: The Death of Kane, Parker notes how many "Citizen Kane sequel that completely misses the point" jokes only seem to parody the plot points that have spread via Popcultural Osmosis—so Parker made his own version of the joke that only makes sense if you've actually watched all of Citizen Kane. |

Minor Flaw, Major Breakup: Horse-Man goes on a date with a girl he met online. They seem to hit it off, but he gets weirded out by her quoting Forrest Gump, completely by accident. |

Didn't Think This Through |
| Unwinder's Tall Comics (Webcomic) / int_8d0785d5 |

Didn't Think This Through: "The Accident". On a dare, Barbecue Sauce kissed Gasoline-Spit Debbie, then tried to smoke a cigarette immediately afterwards. Here, Chad and Jason are inviting everyone they know over to their house for a "God of War party". At the very end, they admit they don't have a copy of the game, or a system to play it on, and they're just hoping someone else will bring them. In Gary P. Rastov's Computer Inquisition, the supercomputers of the world hold a conference to plan for a coming disaster. But the Computotoreum is insufficiently ventilated, so the computers overheat so badly that they all melt. |

Wealthy Philanthropist: The webcomic plays with this trope. Spondulio Wealthmonger is obscenely wealthy, and he funds so many charities that he's hailed as the world's most generous man. But he's quick to proclaim that he's actually selfish to the core, and all his charities are actually schemes (very long-term schemes) to make himself even wealthier. |

Take That! |
| Unwinder's Tall Comics (Webcomic) / int_b53077b3 |
comment |
Take That!: Parker had issues with "a comic distributed on Facebook by a classmate of an internet friend of mine." So he bet the author that he could make 50 installments of a similar journal comic in a single night, and did so. And then he worked those journal comics into Tall Comics canon as Your Guess Is as Good as Mine, and introduced Felicity Walsh as the in-universe author. Similarly, Prudence Walsh's comic Six Daze is a not-so-gentle parody of Dan Nuckols' various faith-based comics, which Parker says "have occasionally struck me as unnecessarily inflammatory." Both of those comics are In-Universe examples, too. In Your Guess Is as Good as Mine, Felicity just takes real conversations and makes the other person look stupid while her Author Avatar rolls her eyes. And Prudence's real purpose for writing Six Daze is "to imply that anyone who she's annoyed with at the moment is going to go to hell." |

Shout-Out: Dr. Minivan shops at The Green Grocer. "Creamquake" is an homage to the art style and dark humor of The Perry Bible Fellowship, and the Ice-9 Cream is a reference to Cat's Cradle. Here, Unwinder's wearing a Dinosaur Comics t-shirt. "Dreamtigers" and "The Secret Miracle" both feature references to numerous Jorge Luis Borges short stories. For Halloween 2011, one of the trick-or-treaters is dressed as Wonderella. "Mintato" is a Nedroid tribute. Here, Unwinder drops by the Garen Parks and Recreation Department, hoping it'll be as funny as Parks and Recreation the TV show. Instead, he gets surreal humor straight out of Terror Island. |

Group Costume Fail |
| Unwinder's Tall Comics (Webcomic) / int_c86a504 |
comment |
Group Costume Fail: Invoked and subverted in the backstory for one Halloween comic. Unwinder and Mildred initially agreed to do a couples costume by dressing up as Jon and Kate Gosselin (with dolls to represent their eight children). But at the last minute, Undwinder dressed up as Charles Darwin instead—partly to set up Mildred to go as "Kate Plus Eight" by herself, and partly to troll the church that's hosting the Halloween party. But Mildred managed to change her costume to Emma Darwin (Charles' wife) in time for the party, making their costumes match after all, much to Unwinder's annoyance. |

Cerebus Syndrome: In-Universe example: Nutflix, the (fictional) webcomic Unwinder reads in this comic, is centered around nutcrackers reenacting scenes from movies. By this comic, it has "jumped the whale shark. THE LARGEST SHARK ON EARTH", and become a serious drama that rarely even touches on its original premise. |

The War of the Seven Stars, a Space Opera novel series. Incredibly epic, and incredibly dull. After Dark, a wildly successful series of teen novels featuring romantic zombies. |

Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!: The Tall Comics universe is a weird melting pot of somewhat realistic humans (the Walsh sisters, Golden Elvis, Chad, Jason), cartoonishly exaggerated humans (Mildred, Barbecue Sauce, Amy Sauce, Dr. Minivan), grey aliens (Unwinder himself), Cartoon Creatures (Horse-Man, Lion-Man, Howard, Painburger), Funny Animals (Jack Yak), and "faceless horrors" (Brian Rawturkey, the Parks & Recreation staff)—and they all more or less interact as equals, in ways that imply they aren't separate species at all. Except for the Furry Fandom characters, who seem to be on the receiving end of Fantastic Racism. |

Follow the Leader: In-Universe. Unwinder is annoyed at the success of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, because he thinks it's the sort of idea he should have come up with first. He tries to jump on the bandwagon with A Tale of Two Cities and an Alien Invasion, Mushy Teen Romance and Vampires, and Moby-Dick Minus Moby Dick before eventually finding "success" with The Importance of Being Earnest in Hell. |
