Examples include putting a statue of Nerd in Nerd's locker, approaching him for help on a math problem, borrowing his money to get lunch for both of them, and giving him a "swirlie" (ice cream).

[[https://nerdandjock-comic.tumblr.com/post/648180193745371136/nerd-and-jock-ep-80-twitter-instagram-patreon Episode 80,]] Jock gives a big one to Nerd to get his spirits up for the test, and Nerd tries to reciprocate but isn't strong enough to make a back-slap with any real impact. Nerd gets an A+, but Jock gets an F. [[https://nerdandjock-comic.tumblr.com/post/648361080352096256/nerd-and-jock-ep-81-twitter-instagram-patreon Episode 81,]] to encourage Jock on the re-test, Nerd hires Olga the Stalker Girl to perform the slap, as she's the slapping champion of the school, probably due to her slapping with a spiked glove.

* BaitAndSwitch: The staple of the humor for the series is that it plays off of their odd friendship. In the early strips, Jock would act threatening or otherwise make an stereotypically masculine moves towards Nerd, but the reveal would be that the Jock would actually need Nerds' help in some way. More recent strips play with expectations in different ways instead (Nerd getting a miniature rock as a Halloween treat, and out pops a miniature Dwayne Johnson.)

''Nerd & Jock'' is a "wholesome" webcomic written and illustrated by Finnish comic artist Marko Rassina.
The story follows the aforementioned protagonists, Nerd and Jock, two close friends who live together in the same house. Despite embodying the stereotypes that come with being... well, a nerd and a jock, they manage to form a close, "wholesome" friendship that plays off of each other's respective strengths and flaws: Nerd assists Jock with his intelligence, while Jock motivates Nerd to become stronger.
The webcomic can be read [[https://nerdandjock-comic.tumblr.com/post/174912558698/nerd-and-jock-ep-1-twitter-instagram-patreon here]].

!!''Nerd & Jock'' contains examples of:
* DumbMuscle: Subverted with Jock, who appears as a simple-minded bodybuilder when next to the intelligent Nerd, but is capable of introspective and thoughtful moments that imply a deeper personality. He's even aware of the trope, too, and wishes he was smart as Nerd since physical strength can only get someone so far.
* GeekPhysiques: Nerd is very skinny and short next to the hulking, muscular jock, which he's trying to subvert by taking up weightlifting and exercising. Jock supports him wholeheartedly.

Part of the comic's RunningGag is that whenever it looks like Jock is going to torment Nerd, [[BaitAndSwitch it turns out he's actually doing something nice for him instead]]. Examples include putting a statue of Nerd in Nerd's locker, approaching him for help on a math problem, borrowing his money to get lunch for both of them, and giving him a "swirlie" (ice cream).
* LoveableJock: Jock is one of the most lovable examples in fiction. He shares a close friendship with Nerd and is generally very supportive of him, even helping him with exercising and weightlifting.
* MyGodYouAreSerious: Jock claims that he wears his blue cap all the time because it's his PowerLimiter for his "real power". Nerd doesn't believe him and takes off the cap, [[spoiler:resulting in Jock revealing his true form as a PhysicalGod]].
* {{Nerd}}: The aforementioned Nerd is a nerd, being a very intelligent and adorable-looking kid who is also an {{Otaku}} who collects action figures and watches anime. [[GeekPhysiques But he's also quite scrawny and physically weak]], something he occasionally mulls over, which is why he took up weight-lifting. Fortunately, Jock has his back.
* NeverBareheaded: Jock is never seen without his blue cap, just as Nerd is never seen without his glasses ([[BlindWithoutEm though he has good reasons not to be]]). This gets discussed in [[https://nerdandjock-comic.tumblr.com/post/182805326718/nerd-and-jock-ep-44-twitter-instagram-patreon Episode 44]], where Nerd thinks he's covering a bald spot, but Jock says the cap is his PowerLimiter. Nerd doesn't believe it and takes off Jock's cap despite the latter's protests, [[spoiler:and discovers that Jock wasn't kidding, as he becomes a godlike being when the cap's off]].
* PhysicalGod: Arguably, [[spoiler:Jock's true form. Nerd discovers that if his blue cap is off, he transforms into a muscular, godlike being with a ThirdEye on his forehead, radiating arcs of power from his mere presence]].
* ShoutOut: The song Nerd and Jock sing while cleaning up their house in [[https://nerdandjock-comic.tumblr.com/post/180207178373/nerd-and-jock-ep-35-twitter-instagram-patreon Episode 35]] is "[[Music/SpiceGirls Wannabe]]".
