History Webcomic / PicturesOfYou

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Peter's [[CurbStompBattle brutal beating]] of [[spoiler:Devon]] was received this way by readers. Readers initially cheered since he had it coming, but it didn't take long for it to turn to squick and [[{{Woobie}} sympathy.]]

* GratuitousForeignLanguage: Averted with Alexander, who is an exchange student from Prague and a StrangeSyntaxSpeaker, and Christo, who is from Spain and speaks perfect English.
* GreyAndGreyMorality: ''No one'' in this comic is blameless. The only exceptions would be [[BastardBoyfriend Devon]] and [[PhantomThief Alexander]], who the story portrays as straight up antagonists.

* [[spoiler: WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou: Devon does this after he [[DomesticAbuser hits]] Melanie, saying that it's Peter and company's fault he got so angry at her, as well as her own fault for hanging out with them/having a life outside of her boyfriend.]]

* CerebusSyndrome: It starts out light and comedic (that is, if you ignore the Prologue) but everything seems to point toward a rather dramatic ending. In this case though, it is planned.

* GreyAndGreyMorality: ''No one'' in this comic is blameless.

* FillerStrips: Done after every book, in form of guest artists drawing short scenes about the characters to bridge the hiatus.

* SanitySlippage: Hinted at during the band's first tour, but comes as kind of a WhamMoment when Wiley shows up for a photo shoot and begins screaming random stuff into the mic. Confirmed when Michelle reads his diary.

* YaoiGuys: Patrick and Alexander.

It tells the tale of farmboy Peter Morris who starts college life and forms a close circle of friends. While he adapts to life in the city, the group struggles with love life, money and the occassional barfight.

* ArtEvolution: While the Art was good from the beginning, the comic turned from black&white to full colour with the beginning of Book Three. And even more notable, when the first draft of the comic was posted.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Done beautifully with [[spoiler: Chisto and Michelle]]

* CerebusSyndrome: It starts out light and comedic (That is, if you ignore the Prologue) but everything seems to point towarts a rather dramatic ending. In this case though, it is planned.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Peter's [[CurbStompBattle brutal beating]] of [[spoiler: Devon]] was received this way by readers. Readers initially cheered since he had it coming, but it didn't take long for it to turn to squick and [[{{Woobie}} sympathy.]]

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Peter unleashes on of these on [[spoiler: Devon after he finds out he beat the crap out of Melanie.]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Peter hasn't been the same]] ever since.

This later happens again when Peter, Andy, and Mulligan discover that [[spoiler: Michelle works as a stripper at the club they went to]], and Peter, along with Michelle, suffer this when they find out that Mulligan told Christo before she had a chance to do so herself.

** A few early strips include {{Aesop}}ish diatribes, in narration or [[AuthorTract by characters]] about Patrick's experience being gay, or how Sam changed Peter's perceptions, etc. They wear away as the out of universe real world social climate continued to adjust, and as Twist's writing prowess grew.

** Reading Gibson Twist's tales about college life can be as entertaining as the comic itself. Also even more {{Foreshadowing}}
* TheReveal: After a lot of foreshadowing, it's finally revealed that [[spoiler: Michelle is a stripper and gets found out by Peter, Andy, and Mulligan.]]
