comment |
Wapsi Square is a "slice of supernatural life" webcomic started in 2001 by Paul Taylor, who describes it as "An attempt to combine the cute and the macabre." It follows the life of Monica Villareal, a busty anthropologist from Minneapolis, as she discovers that it isn't her that's crazy, but rather the world around her.The comic started out as a simple slice of life comedy, but eventually grew into a much more complicated story with the introduction of an Aztec deity, three indestructible golems, and a massive, time-spanning plot to save the world. Despite the shift, it still finds time to explore the personal lives of the characters, but with a bit of a supernatural twist.In 2013, the focus began to shift away from Monica to her friend Katherine Gilchrist and her adopted daughters, a teenage siren named Atsali and a pre-teen sentient mass of vines named Castela.Has a character sheet. |

Falling into His Arms: Happens to Monica after a biking accident here. However, in this case, it is purely comedy, and it is not played for romance in any way. |

comment |
And Then John Was a Zombie: Shelly dies and comes back as a millenia old sphinx. Or, more accurately, the we see die is the one from the very first cycle of the time loop. Shelly 57 - the Shelly in the comic strip - spent the full length of all cycles of the time loop in the Time Forest - where time runs the opposite way - and had to watch all of the Shellys from the loops before hers die, before she returned as a sphinx. |

Artistic License – Biology: Averted, surprisingly, in regards to Monica. Her short stature, ridiculously large bust, and equally large tongue are all clear symptoms of overproduction of/oversensitivity to estrogen. Paul Taylor has said that a close personal friend was the basis for her body type. |

comment |
Undead Tax Exemption: Bud and Brandi are able to acquire modern birth certificates and social security numbers despite being immortal clay golems who predate most known civilizations. However, it is made believable in that it was done by Jin, who has been playing political manipulator in multiple countries for over a thousand years, and probably has more than enough contacts to make someone exist (or cease to exist). |

Out of Focus: Everyone. The original cast was Monica, Amanda, Shelly, Jacquelyn, Owen, Darin, and Dietzl, and this was the core cast for years, with even the relatively early additions Tina and Tepoz not making the cast page until long after their introduction. Only the first three are even on the current cast page, and Amanda mostly because of her role as the original Foil. |

Secret Test of Character: Never used straight, but the golem girls once mistook something for one. Another time, Bud pretended to mistake Monica's actions for a secret test of character. Phix's riddle. She always asks the same riddle to which *any* answer is technically correct, because the answer chosen always reveal an important aspect of the person who answers it. |

Adventure Archaeologist: Monica's grandfather was one of these. Monica herself, on the other hand would claim to be an archaeologist of the far more mundane variety. She spends most of her time either in a library, or analyzing things for the museum, and she doesn't do field work. However, that being said, she still did manage to help bring down a smuggling ring in the process of acquiring an artifact. Katherine has become one of these, combined with joining The Men in Black. |

Literal Cliff Hanger: One sequence has Shelly hanging from the edge of a billboard. Luckily the long fall is only an illusion. She will land on a rooftop not visible due to the angle. Possibly inspired by Harold Lloyd's Safety Last, which used a similar technique. |

All Therapists Are Muggles |
| Wapsi Square (Webcomic) / int_55af5b73 |
comment |
All Therapists Are Muggles: Discussed several times. Most of the main cast could use professional help to overcome their issues, but the great majority of those issues deal with visions, demons, immortality, time loops, inadvertently causing an apocalyptic event, or related phenomena that the characters fear would cause them to be committed. It even has caused problems for Monica, back when she was a teenager, since she was young, confused, haunted by demons, and ignorant of the bigger picture. One character who acts as a stand-in therapist for several other characters, Tina, turns out to have actually been a psychiatrist before she lost her memories. |

Vicious Cycle |

comment |
Vicious Cycle: The calendar machine puts the world through cycle after cycle, resetting time every time it hits 2012. Jin retains her knowledge through all cycles, and has seen over 80,000 years worth of this cycle. The cycle is now broken after Monica, Shelly and the golem girls disabled and crushed the calendar machine into an itsy little cube which was then hurled into the sun. |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Jin to Monica's grandfather, with the added twist that if she didn't let him go, Monica would never exist to be the focal point of the ritual to destroy the calendar machine. Made substantially worse by the fact that he was the love of her life and she's had to let him go every time she relives the cycle. |

Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: The golem girls played this role once. They were tortured until their wills were completely broken, then they were turned into a weapon. They ended up rampaging and destroying most of the world. Since then, civilizations have been rebuilt, and they have had their free will returned. |

comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: When the nature of the comic shifts from slice-of-life comedy to supernatural drama and back again a lot of the character arcs and background threads are just dropped without any resolution but it seems some threads are twisting back for progress and resolutions. |

Mayfly–December Romance: Can definitely apply to any relationship between an immortal or extremely long-lived being with a regular human, such as Jin and Alan or Phix and Monica's boss. Though Jin is now mortal herself, so not so much. Looks as if it may apply to sphinx Shelly and Justin, until we learn that he is in fact an amnesiac immortal himself. |

Demoted to Extra: Notice the fairly small overlap between the site's current cast page and the one above? In the slice-of-life years, Tina was a moving prop, Katherine was just a weird Drop-In Character, and Tep was such a joke that he wasn't added to the cast page at the time until after the Heather arc, when she'd been there for months already; essentially, Monica and Shelly are the only two left of the original cast. Even Shelly hadn't been very prominent among Monica's friends until the Heather arc and her Important Haircut boosted her popularity. |

| Wapsi Square (Webcomic) / int_b983a56b |
comment |
Came Back Wrong: The destruction of the Calendar Machine seems to have utterly broken Jin's mind; although she seemed reasonably sane up to that point, she's explicitly referred to as schizophrenic at least once after. |

Cool Gate |
| Wapsi Square (Webcomic) / int_bb03c099 |
comment |
Cool Gate: The portal cloth is interesting on its own, but it really becomes a cool gate when it is attached to Shelly. If you enter it, you come out the other cloth, but you have to be able to teleport on your own to use it. It still does have its uses though. |

Weirdness Magnet: Justin mentions to Shelly that he is this and invokes I Just Want to Be Normal, implying she's not the first supernatural girl attracted to him. He later goes into Too Much Information territory by mentioning his werewolf ex who liked to be tied to the bed so she could have sex with him while transforming. |

Cute Little Fangs: Endemic in the cast; pretty much everyone has them. Largely justified, as many of the cast is not human, one of the ones that started out human is the Jaguar Girl, and the other lost all her teeth in a car accident and was given the wrong set in reconstructive surgery. |

Cerebus Syndrome: Changing from a slice-of-life comedy, to a save-the-world drama and back to a supernatural slice-of-life comedy with a new generation of characters; dropping over half its supporting cast in the process, and leaving multiple unresolved subplots, though it has shown signs that the threads will be addressed in time. And now, at least two characters have Rape as Backstory. |

Mundane Utility: Shelly was given some clay dolls by her mother and told that they would be important in the future. They crack walnuts really good. On top of that, Bud has an interesting way of making popcorn. Tepoz can create any alcoholic drink you can imagine. Actually it's much simpler and open ended than that, he can create 'anything' with alcohol 'in it' or in some cases summon, which was his explanation originally of how he bamfed Bud, Jin and Brandi into Monica's kitchen originally as well as how he was able to poit into existence an entire turkey's worth of mexican mole into existence for Monica, the stipulation being that her grandma used alcohol in the sauce. |

Knee-capping: In a March 2011 comic there's a distant flashback that shows Jin, before she became part of the Chimera, being shot through the back of the knee with an arrow. Squick. And then hamstrung for good measure. |
