What follows is a series of wacky misadventures as Mel tries to navigate two clashing visions for the future of the park, while also making friends with her new coworkers. Set in the same universe as Beanytuesday's previous comic, ''Webcomic/BadEnders''.

* CampGay: Hermes Pecheki, former supermodel and half-brother of Mayor Pecheki.
* DrivenToSuicide: The Mariner Knight from chapter 4 tried to kill himself by drowning after a lifetime of mistreatment, only to be saved by The Lady of The Lake and turned into a water-zombie.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: At the start of chapter 4, Helzer says "We're all just characters in a story" before quickly clarifying that he's speaking in metaphorical terms. A couple pages later, he says it's good that there's no complicated objects in the foreground... because that means they can fight without causing property damage.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Ouranos "Demon Face" Oz.
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Chapter 4 establishes that mermaids are an offshoot of the primordial [[EldritchAbomination Deep Ones]] who [[HumanityEnsues took the form of attractive women]] in order to trick humans into giving them free food and protection, an evolutionary path explicitly compared to both predatory mimicry and canine domestication. Mermen don't really exist, because even male mermaids evolved to look like human women.

!!Tropes in the work include:

* EmbarrassingLastName: Mary Fuckkill. Apparently it's an anglicized version of the family name Fukukiru, which is Ioponese for [[DoubleSubversion "sexual murderer"]].
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: The United States is replaced with the Unified Central States. UCS territory is sandwiched between the uninhabitable Qanadian Hinterlands (Canada) to the north, and Vandal Texa (Texas) to the south.
