comment
Yellow Peril — not to be confused with Yellow Peril, though the reference is intentional—is a Web Comic by Jamie Noguchi (former co-author of Erfworld with Rob Balder).It is about three disgruntled employees of a soulless graphic design firm, and their dates, friends and relatives. The strip is called that because much of the cast is Asian. The comic last updated in March 2019 and is currently on hiatus due to a combination of the author having to prioritise paid commissions and books with deadlines over the webcomic and the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Butch Lesbian: Kane is attracted to a female martial artist named Zafira, and, mistaking her kindness and help for attraction, kisses her in front of her girlfriend. This woman eventually starts working at PedantiCorp under the name Killer Queen, and she has a grudge.

Read the Fine Print: The main characters should have when they decided to give their two weeks' notice. Their employment contracts have non-compete clauses that prevent them from starting up their new business, which are invoked when Steve chooses to fire them rather than letting them quit. Fortunately, they manage to get the non-compete clauses revoked when Steve hires them to help whitewash his past.

Failsafe Failure: Averted. Kane's computer crashes, and the backup on the server winds up being useless... because he forgot to save another backup after the design requirements were changed. If he'd kept to protocol, he would've been fine.

Oblivious to Love: Tara points out to Kane that he didn't notice her attraction to him in high school, even after she threw him on her bed and told him to help her practice her "judo" moves. After it's made clear that she's still attracted to him, Kane decides to give dating Tara a shot. Bodie is also unaware of Julie's attraction to him, despite her rather obvious seduction attempts. Eventually, he gets the hint.

Small Name, Big Ego
 Yellow Peril (Jamie Noguchi) (Webcomic) / int_28a5213a
comment
The name itself comes from the word "pedantic," which means "to be overly concerned with minute details or formalisms." Incidentally, the main characters like to complain about how many meetings the company holds, and how many arbitrary policies they put into place to look like they're a much more successful company than they are.

Wholesome Crossdresser: Kane, Bodie and Ally become enraged when they see that the company they've been hired to advertise for has an extreme anti-gay rights activist as its CEO. As a result, they choose to deliberately sabotage the ad campaign by hiring (surprisingly convincing) drag queens and gay porn actors as their "loving couples". It backfires spectacularly.

Hidden Depths: Steve, though it's only rarely hinted at. He temporarily affiliated himself with a white supremacist group in college, came from a small town, and may have a background in design. There is a possibility that, despite their resentment of him, Steve is not that different from the other folks at Regenem.

Unresolved Sexual Tension: Kane and Ally are both attracted to each other, but neither is willing to make the first move. Kane because she's a coworker, and Ally because she already has a boyfriend. Eventually, it is resolved, sort of: they decide it's better to be Just Friends, and pursue their own separate relationships (Kane with Tara, Ally with Annie).

Drowning My Sorrows: It looks like Lance is about to head down this path after Miss Jessie dies, but it's averted when he looks over at a picture of her and is reminded of his love for her. Though it's done wordlessly, it's implied from the demonic imagery that Lance once had a serious drinking problem.

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Purana Prints, the independent print shop that Bodie and Kane peruse. The prices were good and the quality was great, but their requirements for acceptable media or file formats tended to be obscure and changed constantly, and they imposed random insane limitations on what they would or would not print. For example, only taking the obscure PCX format, or refusing to print anything their pet turtle didn't like. And when Bodie comes in for their most recent prints, the cashier refuses to accept the work unless he asks in a Hot-Blooded fashion.

Meaningful Name

comment
Meaningful Name: When they present themselves in front of a prospective client for the first time, Ally, Bodie and Kane realize they haven't chosen a name for their new company. They eventually decide on Regenem, since their work has mostly revolved around repairing people's reputations or giving them a new start. Pedanti Corp as well. The word "pedantic" means "to be overly concerned with minute details or formalisms." With a name like that, it's no surprise that constant, pointless meetings were one of the things that drove Ally, Kane and Bodie into starting their own business.

Ethical Slut: Lance tries to help his cousin to get a girlfriend, helps pay the rent, and is generally there to provide support and guidance where necessary. He's also a gay porn actor, and loves his job. Annie, a lesbian stripper, is also quite nice, although it's unclear if she actually has had many sexual relationships or just the one with Ally.

Oh, Crap!: Bodie and Kane realize that their deliberate sabotage of the Star Crossed ad will probably result in them getting fired, and they're fine with that because they both have half a decade of experience under their belt and can probably get new jobs elsewhere.

And now that Kane is dating Tara, it's implied that his sex life is quite good, if the pictures on his cell phone are any indication.

Social Services Does Not Exist: Averted. When Lance got into trouble with the law as a teenager, he was assigned a social worker to help with his case. He regards that social worker, Miss Jessy, as a mother figure, and he's the one she calls from the hospital when she's dying of cancer.

Porn Names: In the business, Lance is known as Hung Low. Annie modeled her on-stage persona after Annie Oakley, who she admires as a feminist icon. It's unclear whether her name is actually Annie as well, or if this is just her stage name.

Bizarre Taste in Food: For whatever reason, Ally thinks that eating raw oysters and natto (fermented soy beans), along with several glasses of beer and sake, is a good idea. She winds up regretting her dietary choices the next morning.

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": The staff of PedantiCorp's tech support are only referred to by their call signs—respectively iRate, Killer Queen and Doctor No. They're collectively known as the Pit Lords.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Despite the fact that it would mean giving up her dream of being a world-famous chef, Julie chooses to give a middle finger to the Demon Spoons rather than go along with their insane expectations of proper cuisine. Strangely enough, though, she may not have ended her chances completely...

Knowledge Broker: Killer Queen, as one of the three folks in charge of IT at PedantiCorp, has access to all the internet activity that goes on at the company. She uses this unfettered access to devastating effect. She's also not above a little hacking to find out things she doesn't have immediate access to.

Strawman Political: Averted- politics has only really come up once in the comic, when Ally found out Ally was a Republican, and when it did, it was in a fairly reasonable light for both sides. Although Ally did get quite hysterical at first.

Incompetence, Inc.: PedantiCorp is often portrayed as this, at least from the perspective of the main characters. It's part of what inspires them to start up their own business. The name itself comes from the word "pedantic," which means "to be overly concerned with minute details or formalisms." Incidentally, the main characters like to complain about how many meetings the company holds, and how many arbitrary policies they put into place to look like they're a much more successful company than they are.

Will They or Won't They?: Ally and Kane have a lot of chemistry, but they never seem to manage to "seal the deal," despite encouragement from their peers. They won't, at least for now. Kane is quite happy with Tara, and Ally and Annie seem to enjoy each other's company.
