''[[http://www.scurrycomic.com/ Scurry]]'' is a web comic scripted and illustrated by Mac Smith that went online on Sunday 17 January 2016. The story involves a colony of mice who struggle to survive amid the ruins of a desolate suburb. Not helping are feral cats and other hazards. The main protagonist is Wix, a veteran scrounger, aided by the amiable rat Umf. Well above average as far as visuals are concerned.

!Scurry contains the following tropes:

* AlwaysABiggerFish: There are wolves in the woodlands that border the decaying houses. Wix mentions on page 45 that he pointedly avoids the woods, since "[the cats] won't go there either."
* CatsAreMean: All the cats are shown as dangerous predators that take lurid delight in stalking and killing mice.
* DyingTown: The unnamed suburb the colony lives in. It has long since been picked clean of anything the mice could eat and the people have been gone for a long, long time.
* EarNotch: Wix has two in his right ear, a sign of having learned mastery of scrounging the hard way.
* FragileSpeedster: We don't yet know how strong Wix is compared to other mice, but against the cats? Definitely fragile.
* GentleGiant: The rat Umf is almost double the size of Wix, but he's amiable and docile, so the mice accept him as a useful oddity.
* IncurableCoughOfDeath: Colony elder Orim has one; a sign of his increasing failing health.
* MouseWorld: None of the comforts, but the mice have an organized system for scouting for food and scrounging necessities, and are based in an abandoned house.
* NearlyNormalAnimal: None of the mice are clothed, and only Ork has a collar around her neck. Wix picks up a carry satchel from a dead mouse at one point.
* RedShirt: Wix and Umf encounter the corpse of Seep, another scrounger mouse that got too curious about a trip-spring mousetrap. Another mouse named Ekt is mentioned as having died from ingesting poisoned bait.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Titan refuses to allow Wix to escape him a third time, and pursues the mouse past the back fence and into the woods, where no other cat dares go. [[spoiler:Titan is almost immediately killed by a wolf.]]
* StayInTheKitchen: Subverted: Orim holds Pict back from the big expedition, not to protect her, but because he needed someone he could trust to stay behind and guard against any potential treachery from Resher
* WhamEpisode: Pict gets carried to the city by a falcon, [[spoiler: and finds it a flooded ruin.]]
* YouAreTooLate: [[spoiler:Pict manages to escape Resher's goons and goes to warn Wix's party that they're being sent into a feline ambush. She arrives to find only Wix and a badly-injured Kssel still alive.]]
