'''[[https://ask-the-ryans.tumblr.com/ Ask the Ryans]]''' is a ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' fan comic hosted on Website/{{Tumblr}}. It opened on September 21st, 2021.

As the name suggests, the blog primarily stars Aran Ryan and his sister Rory, and their antics in the WVBA.

!!"Me sister hits harder than you, tropes!"
* AccidentalMisnaming: Whether or not it was ''accidental'' is up for debate, but in one strip, Rory refers to Super Macho Man as "Super Manly Lad".
* AlliterativeName: '''R'''ory '''R'''yan.
* BaitAndSwitch: When asked about his cheating problem, Rory says she's been trying to get him help. Cut to the last panel, where said help is shown to be trying to convince him to trade horseshoes for firecrackers.
* BandageMummy: After the "firecrackers in the flail" incident, Aran is shown in the hospital
* BigBrotherBully: Aran can be quite dickish to Rory at times.
* BrickJoke: One of the earliest strips involved Rory failing to convince Aran to stuff his gloves with firecrackers. However, later an asker suggests he instead stuff his ''flail'' with firecrackers, which he gleefully accepts. [[WhamEpisode It does not end well]].
* DisappearedDad: The Ryans' father is mentioned to have passed away before the strip began.
* EnfantTerrible: Sometimes, Rory can be just as wild as her brother. This includes inciting fights between the other boxers and trying to talk Aran into stuffing his gloves with ''firecrackers''.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: During the interview with Joe, in the background is Disco Kid checking himself out with a mirror and Von Kaiser [[AmusingInjuries falling off a treadmill]].

* ThePrankster: Both Ryans (though typically Aran more than Rory) are fond of playing tricks on the other boxers, which usually involves hiding something insulting in their lockers.
* RunningGag: This strip really runs with the WeightedGloves thing from the games, frequently making jokes about stuffing them with either cheeseburgers or firecrackers.
* VagueAge: Exactly how old Rory is is unspecified (though one of the early strips suggests she is nine).
* VitriolicBestBuds: Although they frequently insult each other and call each other names, Aran and Rory still care about each other.
