History Webcomic / PowerpuffGirlsDoujinshi

* AnyoneCanDie: So far [[spoiler:[=DeeDee=], Mandark, Sparky, and Samantha]] have kicked the bucket. [[spoiler:Blossom]] nearly does, but is brought back to life at the last minute.

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: While Bubbles is learning about Olga from Mandy, Billy and Ed are making a hill to sled down using Ed as surfing board... what did they make it out of? Chunkies.

* {{Cliffhanger}}: The first arc of the comic ends with [[spoiler:Mandark's sister, Lala Vava, suddenly appearing and finding his glasses in the ruins of his recently destroyed base]].

** [[spoiler: Subverted [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/a-certain-scientific-readout in chapter 11.]]]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Toward the end of Chapter 2, Mojo Jojo is surprised to learn that Dr. X thinks the ''Powerpuff Girls'' are a bigger threat to his plans than the WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague, WesternAnimation/TeenTitans, or WesternAnimation/MenInBlack. Seven chapters later, Dr. X is [[spoiler:proven correct in terms of the MIB's threat level]].

* EarthIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse: This actually turns out to be the ''objective'' of the temporal bombs the Darkstar Council set off in Chapter 9, isolating the Earth and its moon from any potential space-faring allies, as Martian Manhunter explains to Bubbles and the rest of the heroes, dumbed down via his "Marvin the Martian" guise:
-->'''"Marvin" Manhunter''': "...So the system is sheathed in - what I like to call - ''PHANTOM GRAVITY.'' No mass has been added, and yet so much naughty...mmm, perhaps ''chubby'' space between the Earth and the rest of the universe. Any visitor to this lovely little blue ball would have an ''arbitrarily'' large distance to travel! They could race toward it and ''never'' get there!"

* ForcedTransformation: [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/april-foals The girls were turned into]] [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic ponies]] as part of an AprilFoolsDay gag.* ForegoneConclusion: Chapter 9 ends with [[spoiler: the villains successfully detonating the Temporal Bomb]]. Chapter 10 explains [[spoiler: how they did it]].

** The first involved a nod to the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic fandom (see BalefulPolymorph below).

* BalefulPolymorph: [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/april-foals The girls were turned into]] [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic ponies]] as part of an AprilFoolsDay gag.

* ForegoneConclusion: Chapter 9 ends with [[spoiler: the villains successfully detonating the Temporal Bomb]]. Chapter 10 explains [[spoiler: how they did it]].

* HistoryRepeats: A common RunningGag in ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' is the basic premise of Dexter in his lab minding his own business before Dee Dee enters his lab and begins messing around with his inventions and finding inopportune times to disturb Dexter. Come [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/defeat-love-and-robot Chapter 15]] and Bubbles proceeds to do the exact the same thing, including wearing the same [[https://i.imgur.com/1tu5gcK.jpg Hydroplasmatic Inflation Suit Dee Dee had]].

* NotAsYouKnowThem: Mostly averted, though they've yet to explain why the hell [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/{{Medabots}} Samantha]]]] joined the Darkstar Council and became practically a mini-[[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Edward Elric]]. It's hinted some bad stuff went down in her memories.
** Confirmed [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/a-heart-to-heart-breaking-news here]].

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Considering it's a cartoon crossover, this is a given.

* ArtifactTitle: The Powerpuff Girls in the title. While the girls do make contribution throughout the series and are still the main characters, most plot centers around Dexter and other cartoon characters. Not even any of the girls classic rogues make any appearance other then Mojo. And the first story arc's bad guy was [[spoiler:Mandark]].

* ArtEvolution: Bleed's style has changed a bit since he started the comic, even more so after his prolonged hiatus. Just compare the [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/ppg-chapter-1 very first]] page to the [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/a-decade-in-the-making 10th year anniversary]] page.

Gained a ''massive'' following on [[http://bleedman.deviantart.com/gallery/#Powerpuff-girls-D DeviantArt]] (see [[http://bleedman.deviantart.com/ Ngo's profile page]]) and won 2005's Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards for Outstanding Character Art and Outstanding Superhero Comic. Around 2007, Ngo moved the comic from DA to [[http://snafu-comics.com/ Snafu-Comics]]. Updates have been sporadic but recently pretty steady due to Ngo also working on the crossover fancomic ''Webcomic/GrimTalesFromDownBelow'' and his original series ''Webcomic/SugarBits''. He also said to have took on another Snafu member's project, ''Invader Zim: Manifest Doom'', though he has yet to work on it. He's a busy man.

* DrowningPit: Blossom gets this.

* ShootTheShaggyDog: [[spoiler:The comic chronologically ends with the villains' Temporal Bomb detonating.]]

* ApocalypseHow: [[spoiler: Omniversal Class 5 at the end of chapter 9]].

* AfterActionPatchup: Well, In-the-middle-of-action patchup, and demostrates that [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/blood-ties/ those two]] [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/heading-to-trauma/ are caring sisters]] [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther despite the differences]].

* ArtShift: Used [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/truth-be-told/ here]] to illustrate two [[RashomonStyle very conflicting flashbacks]]. It's likely neither of them is true.

* BalefulPolymorph: [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/april-foals/ The girls were turned into]] [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic ponies]] as part of an AprilFoolsDay gag.

** [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory Monkey]] [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/prime-time/ pulled it off as well.]]
* BishieSparkle: [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/sir-mr-ph-d-esquire-the-nth-san/ Naga.]]

** Even [[Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt Panty and Stocking]] have [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/truth-be-told/ found their way]] into the comic.

** [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Haruhi]], bizarrely enough. She appears on the BigBad's [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/2010-a-cheese-odyssey/ computer screen,]] however, so it is hard to say whether or not she is fictional in this universe. Given that the focus is mostly on Creator/CartoonNetwork / {{Creator/Nicktoons}} shows, as well as the [[StoryBreakerPower story-breaking nature]] of Haruhi, it's unlikely she was intended to be more than a whimsical cameo.
** An ox of a mock-commercial of ''WesternAnimation/SheepInTheBigCity'' can be seen [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/the-building-and-the-complex/ here.]]
** You can see [[Manga/AstroBoy Dr. Ochanomizu]] and [[VideoGame/MegaMan Dr. Light]] [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/bellicose/ here]] in the second panel.

** [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/lovely-toys/ Those minions of Vexus's]] look [[WesternAnimation/RobotBoy oddly]] [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated familiar]]...

** Wow, didn't know ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' and Isabella ([[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/when-one-door-closes/ here]]) were considered scientists.
*** [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/and-the-sky-is-filled-with-light/ Doofenshmirtz]] himself has made an appearance at the convention. Maybe he was their science-ticket?
** [[http://scientia1.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/einsteinrisa.jpg Einstein]] appears [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/offer-void-where-prohibited/ here]]. Third and fourth panels.

* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: How Monkey kills [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/too-late/ Battus]].

* IdenticalStranger: She's certainly no stranger to Dexter, but Bubbles' ballet expertise and destruction of machines definitely remind the boy genius of [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/encore/ a certain "stupid" sister]].

* LastKiss: [[spoiler:With [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/the-tiger-above-the-cliff-below/ Olga and Dexter]] of all things.]] Or a least they thought at the time.

* TheMenInBlack: ''The'' Film/MenInBlack [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/big-noisy-beetle/ apparently have a base under the performing arts center]].

** There's [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/toothless-smile/ this.]] Remember that ''PPG'' episode where Buttercup learned about the tooth fairy and started harvesting teeth from villains?

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/relief-and-duty/ Buttercup delivered one to Samantha]] [[spoiler:after seeing her slicing Blossom's throat.]]

** Confirmed [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/a-heart-to-heart-breaking-news/ here]].

** Martian Manhunter justifies this [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/warp-of-the-worlds/ in Chapter 14]], in Superman's case at least, by explaining that the temporal bombs have "stretched out spacetime", displacing the Earth further from the Sun, thus yellow sun rays taking longer to reach Superman and properly recharge his solar batteries.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/going-fast-forward/ When the bomb goes off, the Cluster bots get the hell out of there.]]

** [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/powers/ Specifically]], Blossom's [[Manga/DragonBall Kamehameha]], Bubbles' [[Franchise/StreetFighter Sonic Boom]], and Buttercup's [[VideoGame/FatalFury Power Wave]]. Dexter countered those moves with Geese's Raging Storm!
** [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/gir-bangs/ this.]] The date on the comic is 2004, which was the same year that William Hung became famous for butchering that song on ''Series/AmericanIdol''.

** [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/blondecup/ This]] DBZ gag.

** [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/2010-a-cheese-odyssey/ B7?]] Why, oh why does that look so [[Franchise/MassEffect familiar]]?
** The BigBad is a fan of Haruhi. [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/2010-a-cheese-odyssey/ Or he could have hacked Bleedman's computer.]]

** “[[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/power-of-science/ If]] [[Literature/{{Frankenstein}} Victor Frankenstein]] can do it, so can I!”

** There is an action figure of the GoldenAge [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/secret-lab/ Hulk]] in Dexter's Lab.
** And here's another [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/self-destruct/ Hulk reference]].
** [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/trapped/ Here]] we have a [[Franchise/StarWars lightsaber duel]] like in Phantom Menace.

** [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/prolonging-the-inevitable/ This page]] shows Blossom analyzing a fight with Bell just like [[Film/SherlockHolmes2009 a certain British detective]].
** [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/cinematic-battle/ This]] and [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/toying-with-me/ this]], and [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/epoch-eclipse-now/ this]]. I don't think I need to explain [[Film/TheMatrix these references]].

** On [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/programming-block/ this page]], Gir redirects Bell's blast with a disco ball. He calls the pattern "Disco Inferno".
* StealthPun: [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/not-so-beachy-keen/ Mandy's shirt]] At first you think it's because she is dark. Then you remember that she pretty much owns the Grim Reaper.

* TakeThat: At the former writer/editor, no less. [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/how-revolting/ This page]] calls out the idea of Bell, a central character, being a super-advanced robot, an idea originally tested by Bleedman in concept art and explored in the work of former ''PPGD'' editor and current After Birth writer Griddles. The comments seem to reflect the opinion of the other writers, who've had a noted difference of opinion with Griddles in the past and present.

* {{Telepath}}: Ms. Honeydew [[LateArrivalSpoiler is revealed]] to be one. Any fan of ''Dexter's Lab'' should know what [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/collect-call/ this]] means is about to happen.

* VisualPun / StealthPun: Dexter and Mandark duke it out using [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/shifting-blame/ everything but the kitchen sink]].

* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/but-oh-honey-do/ Honeydew and Jack]] find themselves having to explain this to Boomer after he starts kissing ''[[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/chu-on-this/ every]] [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/kiss-fest-2015/ female]]''.

*** Additionally, [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Danny]] himself shows up a few panels later talking to Tucker.

* BadFuture: [[http://grim.snafu-comics.com/index.php?comic_id=169 Well...]] Possible. See Shared Universe Below.

* DoomedByCanon:
** In ''Webcomic/GrimTalesFromDownBelow'', Grim tells how Megaville [[spoiler: ultimately falls because of a traitor among the heroes]].
** WordOfGod says this is just a possibility in the future. Not concrete.

* ForegoneConclusion: Chapter 9 ends with [[spoiler: the villains successfully detonating the Temporal Bomb and destroying ''all of reality'']]. Chapter 10 explains [[spoiler: how they did it]].
** Worse so when taken in conjunction with ''Webcomic/GrimTalesFromDownBelow'', where you know the fate of a good fraction of the main cast. [[spoiler: It's not pretty.]]
*** [[spoiler: Subverted [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/a-certain-scientific-readout/ in chapter 11.]]]]

** Even [[spoiler: [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/spectral-exterminator/ Erwin and Hoss Delgato]]]]. As above.

* TheGhost: Early on it's mentioned that heroes like the Justice League and Teen Titans exist but they have yet to show up.

* OffModel: For a comic that normally shows emotion as it would actually be portrayed, [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/who-ya-gonna-call/ the last frame]] looks very strange.

* SharedUniverse: With ''Webcomic/GrimTalesFromDownBelow'' which takes place years later. Both are made by the same author and characters from ''PPGD'' show up during a flashback.

* ShootTheShaggyDog: [[spoiler:The comic chronologically ends with the villains' Temporal Bomb destroying reality, turning all of existence into literally a void of ''nothing''.]]
** [[spoiler:Not any more ]]

* AnyoneCanDie: So far [[spoiler:[=DeeDee=], Mandark, and Sparky]] have kicked the bucket. [[spoiler:Blossom]] nearly does, but is brought back to life at the last minute.

** Bell is actually based on the white Powerpuff Girl seen in the pilot for the Powerpuff Girls, "Whoopass Stew" (at 0:15 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQzxLLk26pw here]]).

** [[spoiler:Everyone on [[http://grim.snafu-comics.com/index.php?comic_id=170 this page]].]] Possible. See Shared Universe Below.
** Even [[spoiler: [[http://grim.snafu-comics.com/index.php?comic_id=171 Erwin and Hoss Delgato]]]]. As above.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Used from the end of Chapter 1 onwards.

** 2014 featured a ShoutOut to the anime ''Anime/DemashitaPowerpuffGirlsZ''.

In 2002, a fanartist named Vinson Ngo, a.k.a Creator/{{Bleedman}}, somehow got it into his head to draw a {{manga}}-styled [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover/FanWorks Mega Crossover]] with every popular cartoon he could think of, recent and past, and blend them all together for a FanWebcomic centered on the three superhero tykes known as ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''.

* NotAsYouKnowThem: Mostly averted, though they've yet to explain why the hell [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/{{Medabots}} Samantha]]]] joined the Darkstar Council and became practically a mini-[[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Edward Elric]]. It's hinted some bad stuff went done in her memories.

* DeadpanSnarker: Mandy.

* DoomedByCanon: In ''Webcomic/GrimTalesFromDownBelow'', Grim tells how Megaville [[spoiler: ultimately falls because of a traitor among the heroes]].

* {{Fanservice}}: Bell is essentially fanservice. Not ''[[MsFanservice Ms.]]'' [[MsFanservice Fanservice]], but pure fanservice itself. The fandom just loves her that much.

* FutureBadass: [[spoiler:Everyone on [[http://grim.snafu-comics.com/index.php?comic_id=170 this page]].]] Possible. See Shared Universe Below.

* AprilFoolsDay: Seems to have started a tradition of doing this since 2011. The first involved a nod to MyLittlePony fandom (see Baleful Polymorph below). In 2012, he posted a comic featuring fan drawn PPGD characters. For 2013, he did an ArtShift to that of WesternAnimation/AdventureTime. 2014 featured a ShoutOut to the anime ''Anime/DemashitaPowerpuffGirlsZ''. 2018 featured this comic's version of [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls2016 Bliss]]. 2019 had the comic getting hit with a Cease and Desist after [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales a few]] [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls too]] [[WesternAnimation/StarVSTheForcesOfEvil many]] ''Creator/{{Disney}}'' [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb cameos.]]

* ShownTheirWork: Vinson certainly knows his cartoons; granted, some facts are forgotten about or subject to AlternativeCharacterInterpretation, but the allusions to the source are usually quite accurate.
