* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
** The very earliest comics from its inception as a shallow ''[[WebComic/BrawlInTheFamily Brawl in the Family]]'' parody were the same poses of Dudim facing a new "foe" and inheriting their powers. This lasted maybe 3 or 4 comics before it was already being [[PlayedWith toyed around with]] to the fullest extent.
** A lot of Part 1 is StrictlyFormula and had a recurring setup of "Dudim introduces the gang to a new character/guest star", with the joke often being surrealistic in nature and not really pertaining to the guest star. [[WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast Space Ghost]] was once depicted as muttering gibberish, if that gives any indication of what we mean.
** As explained above in CharacterizationMarchesOn, many of the characters went through personality changes/general development before they truly hit their stride later in the comic.
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Though the comic is well known for its multitude of [[ArtShift art style changes]], the individual styles of the main artists would undergo their own development over the many years that the comic has been drawn in. Of particular note, Dudim's goggles used to be primarily drawn ''over'' his nose, until Vitiman began drawing the nose first somewhere around Part 6. The Time Travel arc where he goes back to Part 3's Dark Matter arc [[MeetYourEarlyInstallmentWeirdness hangs a lampshade over this.]]

Imagine every MS Paint comic you've ever seen. Think about the varying quality and effort put into each different comic. Now imagine all of that variation and insanity in '''one''' comic, and you might be picturing something vaguely similar to '''''[[https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qpj5p5wqtr1efus/AAA-3De8f_Mi6qOdCbvuPRova?dl=0 Dudim in the Family]]''''', a web comic started in 2016 and, for one reason or another, is still somehow chugging along in obscurity. Originally envisioned as a quasi-spinoff of the equally little-known fangame ''[[VideoGame/SuperCharismaBros Super Charisma Bros.]]'', ''Dudim in the Family'' centers around a [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters decently]] [[Main/{{Understatement}} sized]] ensemble cast of various strange characters that largely originated from said fangame but are as equally as likely to just be completely made-up on the spot (special mention goes to "Goggles Yoshi", a recurring character derived a one-panel joke early in the comic's run).

** Dustin is absolutely all over the place - his initial characterization was that of a selfish-yet-meaningful dork who was easily persuaded by power (two entire arcs depict him as being perfectly willing to hold an iron fist against his own friends and the rest of Pastaland), whereas the more recent comics have him come across as an everyman who happens to like retro video games and isn't all that sociable. Between these two starkly different characters was about 3 years worth of jokes, gags, and rewritten or aborted storylines that showcase many other slight variations of the character.

** Langton's earliest depiction was someone with a ''very'' thick British accent. Then at one point or another, he became [[Advertising/CapnCrunch Cap'n Crunch]]. The two characters then converged into one final iteration of him: a ghost who wears a monocle, a large blue hat, and speaks very professionally and antiquated.

Both comics were created as "experiments", with the former even meant to be a canonical ending to the comic.

* AbsurdlyHighStakesGame: Completely and utterly subverted with the Family Feud arc. Despite the main characters dueling with their direct evil counterparts, no deal is made about the arrangement and the most the villains do when they lose to a contrived plot point is swear revenge and then take off in a van.
* AccidentalInnuendo[[invoked]]: InUniverse: "The vast open sea, and no tissue jokes in sight..."
* AccidentalMisnaming: Dudim has a habit of calling everyone "Jimmy", "Johnny" or some variation thereof.


Added DiffLines:

* AffectionateParody:
** The Family Feud arc seems to borrow liberally from an ''[[Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia Always Sunny]]'' episode with a very similar premise.
** The Dark Matter arc (apart from its overall plot) has many scenes/gags lifted from the ''[[Franchise/{{Alien}} Alien]]'' series of films.

** Cruise Elroy was always a bit of a meme-er, but his similar gravitation towards being an OnlySaneMan was more towards the latter half of the comic. The Family Feud arc where he comically overreacts to the characters blowing their chances on national television are a great example of this newer trait.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn:
** Kirby's Adventure ''very'' early on was depicted as little more than having a [[SirSwearsALot potty-mouth]] and an attitude to match. He mellowed out significantly as the comic expanded and became more of a well-spoken DeadpanSnarker with a soft side when the plot demands.
** Friendly Dictator didn't necessarily have much of a personality when the comic began, but a joke about him being a CovertPervert was taken and absolutely [[{{Pun}} milked]] for all it was worth. As time went by, this character trait was dropped in favour of making Friendly a bit more like his real-life counterpart: unrealistically optimistic, if a bit politically outspoken.

** They actually visit an alternate universe in a half-finished arc in Part 3, where Willsaber is a democratically-elected official and Dustin is somehow a tyrant.
** An earlier arc in Part 2 implies the Pac-Man world is an alternate universe as well.

Though it began as a less-than-stellar one note parody of the critically acclaimed ''[[WebComic/BrawlInTheFamily Brawl in the Family]]'', it has morphed into a beast quite unlike anything else online, before or since. Drawn by multiple artists (resulting in amusingly different art styles) with varying levels of attention to detail (resulting in... [[StylisticSuck yeah]]), the comic has gone through several "arcs", telling bizarre stories that somehow manage to have a degree of continuity and effort thrown into the mix. The many characters that are represented in ''Dudim in the Family'' are meant to be [[AuthorAvatar the comic artists themselves and the many, many people they interact with]]. Of course, not '''everyone''' is meant to be true-to-life - some characters, such as the nefarious "Tim Rogers" and his cronies, are entirely fictional and range from being based off of a typo dating back 8 years ago to evil [[Franchise/{{Kirby}} "Dark Matter"]] clones of our heroes.

Imagine every MS Paint comic you've ever seen. Think about the varying quality and effort put into each different comic. Now imagine all of that variation and insanity in '''one''' comic, and you might be picturing something vaguely similar to '''''[[https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qpj5p5wqtr1efus/AAA-3De8f_Mi6qOdCbvuPRova?dl=0 Dudim in the Family]]''''', a web comic started in 2016 and, for one reason or another, is still somehow chugging along in obscurity. Originally envisioned as a quasi-spinoff of the equally little-known fangame ''[[VideoGame/SuperCharismaBros Super Charisma Bros.]]'', ''Dudim in the Family'' centers around a [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters decently]] [[Main/{{Understatement}} sized]] ensemble cast of various strange characters that largely originated from said fangame but are as equally as likely to just be completely made-up on the spot (special mention goes to "Goggles Yoshi", a recurring character derived a one-panel joke early in the comic's run).
