History Webcomic / GroovyKinda

* BiTheWay: Quite the all-female list: Edison, Anya, Eleanor, not to mention statuesque robot-girl Stephanie. Oddly enough, none of the men, though. Two full-on gay characters: Toivo the neanderthal and Prospero/Geoffrey who borders on camp.

* ManlyGay: Toivo, what with being a gay CAVEMAN.

* GirlonGirlIsHot: Edison & Anya, Edison & Stephanie, Eleanor & Anya, Edison & Betsy in a flashback, Betsy & Veronica...

* UST: Anya and Larry. Almost from the strip's beginning. She wants to frolic, to the point of approaching him in the middle of his first date with Edison. He seems to be willing, but only with Edison's permission, to which she gave highly qualified approval just before leaving town to sign her divorce papers from Philo. The terms of said approval seem almost impossible to meet.

* WhatDidYouExpectWhenYouNamedIt_: Averted. One would expect the Hindenburger, a restaurant/zeppelin, to be a disaster waiting to happen, but it doesn't blow up. Larry and Edison's relationship almost crashes and burns, though.

* StatuesqueStunner: Stephanie "Steffie" Rossum, a robot version of the trope.

* ThreeWaySex: [[spoiler: Not actually shown, but more than implied between Edison, Larry and Stephanie, especially after Ms. Rossum loses her...seal of innocence or whatever robots call it. Seems to be a menáge a trois in it's pure sense in that it's a true household of three: they all live in Larry's house, they all do things outside the house as three or in pairs, the women have "frolicked" with each other, and have "frolicked" with Larry both together and individually as circumstances dictate. Possibly to become a quatre with Edison's qualified approval pending what Anya can manage for the inviolable Kittens and Catacombs game night See All Women Are Lustful above for explanation. Of course it was after a previous such game night that the initial "frolicking" as a trio occurred, so all is not lost.]]

** Anya wanted Larry until she kissed Edison while under the influence of clowns, whereupon she decided that she wanted them both, which almost happened, but was called on account of


[[http://groovykinda.org/comic/cheesecaked/ passed out Edison]], then took up with underaged Jacob after he rescued her from Eleanor's clutches, but now is again trying to frolic with Larry, since Edison is out of town, which almost seems expected by Larry's absent girlfriend, but the strictures to said frolicking seem quite stringent.
** Stephanie wants Larry, but she can't become aroused unless she's next to Edison's navel hangy thingy., making her the happiest robot in Innsmount, and not at all sanguine about who might know.

* ArtificialHuman: Stephanie Rossum. Tall, blonde, not quite as asexual as some think her to be and adorable. Loves pudding, books with pictures of kittens and Larry. This RobotGirl (she prefers the term "humachinal") smokes cigarettes, which she can light with her finger. She gets aroused in the proximity of Edison's navel hangy thingy. [[spoiler: The navel hangy thing is no longer necessary to turn on her libido.]]

* ButLiquorIsQuicker: At her soberest (a relative term), Edison Lighthouse calls to mind a 1950s television housewife. As her day and her drinking progress, she begins to lose both buttons and inhibitions.

** Anya wanted Larry until she kissed Edison while under the influence of clowns, whereupon she decided that she wanted them both, which almost happened, but was called on account of passed out Edison, then took up with underaged Jacob after he rescued her from Eleanor's clutches, but now is again trying to frolic with Larry, since Edison is out of town, which almost seems expected by Larry's absent girlfriend, but the strictures to said frolicking seem quite stringent.

* AllWomenAreLustful: Almost. Edison wants Larry, Anya, and Stephanie. Anya wants Larry and Edison, [[spoiler: now has underaged boyfriend Jacob]]. Stephanie wants Edison and Larry, but she can't become aroused unless she's next to Edison's navel hangy thingy, [[spoiler:no longer an issue]]. And then there's Eleanor, with her underaged, twin playthings (Jacob, [[spoiler: now with Anya,]] and Esther), her former playthings (Amy and Anya), plus her once boyfriend, Nelson. It's kind of complicated.

* LoveDodecahedron: Though the comic focuses primarily on the relationships between the three main characters, there are hints that things are going to become a bit more complicated. And they do.

* TheAlcoholic: Edison Lighthouse rarely appears without a drink in hand. While old enough to be a LadyDrunk, she's far too cheerful, and too much of a homebody to be a HardDrinkingPartyGirl. Phyllis Samson, HardDrinkingPartyGirl, almost never seen not falling down drunk, except in a flashback adventuring with Larry. A close friend of Edison's, especially in rehab (it didn't take for either of them), she dies just before returning to rehab with Edison. Steph had been her body guard.

** "I love that movie!"

* ArcWords: "I loved that movie!"

* OneTrueThreesome: Edison, Stephanie and Larry.

* ArtShift: Starts to look like Archie comics during the flashbacks to Edison's youth, juxtaposed with the emotional complexity of her relationships.

* FriendToAllChildren: Anya is quite fond of kids.

* TheAlcoholic: Edison Lighthouse rarely appears without a drink in hand. While old enough to be a LadyDrunk, she's far too cheerful, and too much of a homebody to be a HardDrinkingPartyGirl.

* ArtificialHuman: Stephanie Rossum. Tall, blonde, not quite asexual and adorable. Loves pudding and books with pictures of kittens. This RobotGirl (she prefers the term "humachinal") smokes cigarettes, which she can light with her finger. She gets aroused in the proximity of Edison's "navel hangy thingy," [[spoiler: averting her asexual status in an off-panel three-way with Edison and Larry. The "thingy" is apparently a missing piece of Steph (possibly controlling her libido) that broke off and attached itself to Edison's navel when the robot girl passed through the discombobulationotron.]]

* BareYourMidriff: Both Edison and Eleanor sport ultra-low hiphuggers, which always show a bit of tummy. The drunker Edison gets, the wider the gap between her pants and her top. She also has a mysterious navel piercing, her "navel hangy thingy."

* TheChessmaster: Eleanor is planning something huge, and she's using almost everyone in the story. Most of them don't know it yet.

* Transgender: Reade Turner, bookstore owner, was revealed to be Reed Turner, best friend and fellow Boy Scout to Nelson. She and Nelson are currently an "item."
