Has a spin-off flash game, [[https://alecrobbins.itch.io/mr-boop Mr. Boop and the Curse of the Dinner Party]].
Party]]; tropes applying to this game are included in the ''Mr. Boop'' section. There is also a pseudo-sequel comic available on the webpage, ''Mr. Group'', in which Alec attempts to trap a group of his online followers (and himself) in a DeadlyGame. Tropes for ''Mr. Group'' are listed separately at the bottom of this page.

!!''Mr. Group'' contains examples of:
* ButThouMust: Learning from the OffTheRails vote, Alec's subsequent punishment poll has two options: one that floods the room while sending in a monster and forcing one of the participants to eat a bug, and "same as above".
* CassandraTruth: When the majority of DeadlyGame participants decide to leave when they're allowed to, the first thing they do is tell a police officer about what happened. Said officer doesn't believe them and, since they're wearing nothing but chains and scraps of cloth, takes them to jail for public indecency.
* CatGirl: Issue #46 has [[spoiler:a Catboy Alec in the group of Alec clones, which Tracy points out to try and convince Ren to trust them]].
* {{Cliffhanger}}: The [[FakeOutFadeOut actual]] end of the comic is one, with [[spoiler:someone off-panel confronting Evil Alec, Evil Alec thinking "it's a shame this is the end because something crazy is happening now!", and a final panel that just states "End of the Whole Comic Again but For Real This Time"]].
* CloningBlues: [[spoiler:It turns out the original Alec found a way to make a group of clones of himself, and the DeadlyGame is being run by an "Evil Alec" who purposely put another clone of Alec in the group of people he kidnapped just so they'd distrust and kill him.]]
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When introducing themselves to [[spoiler:the Alec clones]], Tracy says that her full name is Tracy Morgan, like the comedian, and that she makes a living posting her own amateur porn online. When Ren blushes and asks if that's true, Tracy assumes Ren's just baffled by her name and states that her parents were big fans of his comedy.
* DeadlyGame: The initial premise of this pseudo-sequel is that Alec has trapped some of his social media followers in a "puzzle dungeon" set up in an abandoned Home Depot and wants them to participate in games with the punishment of death for failure. Things immediately go OffTheRails when Alec lets his other online followers decide the first punishment and the majority pick "let everyone go free".
* FakeOutFadeOut: The comic seems to end at strip #13, with everyone being free to go, and the last panel just stating "End of the Whole Comic". The following "Epilogue" page continues the series to strip #51.
* ItsPersonal: Ren, one of the DeadlyGame participants, had already gone through the game in the past and watched her best friend die, so she decides to stick around to get revenge on Alec.
* LoonyFan: Tracy, one of Alec's followers and a participant of the DeadlyGame, willingly continues to participate after everyone is allowed to leave just because she wants to spend more time with Alec.
* OffTheRails: Alec genuinely didn't expect the online vote to decide a punishment to result in "let everyone go free", which would've ended the DeadlyGame completely if two participants (one [[ItsPersonal seeking revenge]] and one [[LoonyFan that just wants to have fun with Alec]]) didn't stick around. Alec even namedrops the trope in the [[FakeOutFadeOut actual]] final comic.
* ScrewYourself: [[spoiler:The two Alec clones that escaped from Evil Alec married each other, and all of the ones still held captive are seen making out with each other.]]

** In terms of being a self-insert story, numerous self-insert tropes like RelationshipSue and AuthorAvatar are used to highlight Alec's increasing instability. The high amount of sexual content is offputting instead of erotic, since Alec's sex-crazed comic life is clearly meant to a placeholder for his own real life issues with romance. The love between Alec and Betty is also purposely shallow, since Alex is projecting his ideal romantic relationship onto a fictional character who cannot properly reciprocate. All of this comes to a climax in the last ten strips [[spoiler: when Bugs snaps, holds Alec at gunpoint, and begins interrogating him about why everything seems so fake and shallow.]]
