* AliceAllusion: Averted for the most part (for instance, the Queen of Hearts is a withdrawn, not-at-all-homicidal background character), but the appearance of the Cards ''does'' somewhat resemble that which the ''Alice'' Cards took in the [[Disney/AliceInWonderland 1951 adaptation]], as can the idea of Spades as lowly workes oppressed by the noble warrior Hearts.

* {{Retirony}}: Played with. [[spoiler: Seven of Hearts is killed on what would have been the last patrol into the Dark Lands… by his fellow soldier Five who doesn't want the patrols to end for as-yet-unknown reasons.]]

* HollywoodAcid: The Thinner River in ''Webcomic/TheStrongestSuit'' is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: a ''river'' of super-corrosive liquid. Although to be fair it is colorless rather than green or yellow, and doesn't bubble or fume.

A rather strange webcomic about the goings-on of the Deck, an isolated village inhabited by [[AnimateInanimateObject anthropomorphic playing cards]], found [[http://thestrongestsuit.thecomicseries.com on Comicfury]] and [[https://tapas.io/series/The-Strongest-Suit on Tapastic]]. WorldBuilding abounds, especially as the characters start to discover hints of the world beyond the wilderness that surrounds the Deck. Though it has its fair share of drama ([[ActionPrologue it does open with a murder after all]]), most of the comic is light-hearted and comedic.

!!''The Strongest Suit'' provides examples of:

* AliceAllusion: Averted for the most part (for instance, the Queen of Hearts is a withdrawn, not-at-all-homicidal background character), but the appearance of the Cards ''does'' somewhat resemble that which the ''Alice'' Cards took in the [[Disney/AliceInWonderland 1951 adaptation]], as can the idea of Spades as lowly workes oppressed by the noble warrior Hearts.
* ActionPrologue: [[spoiler: The story opens with Five of Hearts murdering Seven of Hearts on a patrol.]]
* AnimateInanimateObject: The Playing Cards themselves, who are human-sized and anthropomorphic. This is not truly the case in-universe however, as they are a legitimate sapient species rather than normal cards brought to life.
* PlayingCardMotifs: Obviously.
