''Springaling'' is a ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3'' fan webcomic by [=Negaduck9=]. Originating as a collection of humorous one-shots, the comic has since developed a sense of continuity and gone through several story arcs.
[[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2 The Puppet]], [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3 Springtrap]], the ghosts of the children Springtrap killed in life, and the [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys4 Nightmare animatronics]] are all stuck inside Fazbear's Fright. Various heartfelt and humorous events ensue.
The comic can be read in its entirety [[https://www.deviantart.com/negaduck9/gallery/56507679/springaling here]].

!!Contains examples of:
* ArtEvolution: Early comics have thicker lineart on the characters than later ones, due to the artist switching to inking lineart with finer-tipped pens.
* BaitAndSwitchComment: In "Regrets", Springtrap appears to admit to the old Fredbear costume that he feels remorse over killing the children, only to comment in the last panel that he should have done something different to clean up the bloodstains. Behind him, the Puppet drops the present he was holding and prepares to whack Springtrap on the head with a mallet.
* ClosedCircle: The undead characters can't leave Fazbear's Fright until they "earn their balloons". While other characters can enter and leave the building, circumstances often conspire for Springtrap (the only one with a physical form) to be unable to exit.
* DeathGlare: "If Looks Cold Bruise" has the Puppet glare with increasing intensity at Springtrap after he comments that the Crying Child isn't one of his kills.
* DoesntLikeGuns: ''[[SerialKiller Springtrap]]'' of all people can't stand using or hearing firearms. This stems from an incident in his youth where [[spoiler:a fighting dog bit his leg and he was shot by accident in the process of getting it off him. Once he got out of the hospital, he was tasked with shooting the dog to put it down and was unable to give it a headshot because his hands kept shaking]]. Once Springtrap explains this, the Puppet apologizes for shooting him during the paintball fight.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
** The first twenty or so comics consist entirely of one-off jokes and outtakes about the artist's self-contained comic about the third game, ''Requiem with a Birthday Cake''. Comic 22 marks the beginning of the first StoryArc and the introduction of elements from later ''Five Nights at Freddy's'' games.
** Springtrap's eyes don't start glowing until partway through the "locked box" story arc, nearly twelve dozen comics in.
* FlippingTheBird: Springtrap is implied to give a security camera the finger in "The Privacy Act" after the Puppet shuts him out of the office by sealing the vent he entered behind him. [[ChildrenAreInnocent One of the Freddles doesn't understand what the gesture means.]]
--> '''Freddle''': "I'm number one?"\\
''(The Puppet sighs)''
* InstantlyProvenWrong: At one point, Springtrap states that if God really was listening to the Puppet's prayers, he would've received a sign. A pigeon flies into the office the panel after he says this, leading to his displeasure.
-->'''Springtrap''': A DOVE? Really? How Old Testament can you get?!
* ItGetsEasier: Springtrap describes his killing of kids as getting easier for him to achieve over time. While his first kill freaked him out and it took years before he tried again, by the end of his spree it evolved into an urge to off kids and he says he was ''proud'' at the time for managing to kill a party of five in one go.

Springtrap says they won't have to, reasoning that if the artist can't be bothered to draw the office decorations, there's no reason for her to bother drawing paint splatter for longer than she has to. Sure enough, the paint's all gone in the next panel.
* MerchandiseDriven: In-universe, the cartoon ''Fredbear & Friends'' is described as having been primarily made to get kids to visit the restaurant and buy toys of the characters. Springtrap mentions that the writers weren't allowed to introduce [[ToylessToylineCharacter characters that didn't have toys]] aside from some one-shot villains and were forced to write out Gold Bonnie after Fazbear Entertainment stopped merchandising the character.
* OhCrap: During the paintball fight, Nightmare decides to get even with Springtrap and the Puppet for ganging up on Plushtrap by threatening them with a paint ''bazooka''. The Puppet hurriedly says this is the part where they run, but Springtrap takes the situation in stride.
-->'''Springtrap''': We who are about to [[{{Pun}} DYE]], salute you.
* ShoutOut:
** Springtrap's human self is drawn to resemble, and is named after, BOB from ''Series/TwinPeaks''.
** "Gremlintronics" has three tips for making sure the new animatronics continue to work properly: [[Film/{{Gremlins}} don't expose them to bright lights, don't get them wet, and don't feed them during the night shift]], i.e. after midnight.

** One story arc has the Puppet play ''VideoGame/{{Polybius}}''.

''(Puppet, Springtrap, and Plushtrap turn towards the reader)''
* WorthIt: Springtrap discusses having approved of a script for a tie-in cartoon to Freddy's with absurd content, like the written-off Gold Bonnie having bear cub triplets since her disappearance. He then says that while kids asked him about Gold Bonnie's bear children whenever he wore the Fredbear costume for months afterward, he felt that getting to throw the writers of the cartoon a bone in exchange was worth it.
* [[invoked]]WriterRevolt: An InUniverse example with the last episode of ''[[ShowWithinAShow Fredbear & Friends]]''. Once the show was confirmed to be cancelled, the writers submitted one last script containing topics that would normally never get approved, like Foxy having been paid by Fredbear to be a villain or Gold Bonnie's absence being explained by her being on maternity leave with golden bear cub triplets. The higher-ups at Fazbear Entertainment never paid it any mind, and Springtrap mentions deciding to approve the script because he figured the writers deserved a break after all the restrictions the parent company placed on their material.
