''Twisted Tropes'' is a webcomic created by Mike Howland of Howland Illustration for YOU! And anyone else who enjoys a good trope. Every week (well, almost...) a new strip is popped out hot and fresh from the dutch oven of Mike's mind. A description of the trope in question is included in the top left of every comic to help set the stage, and from there the twisting commences. Characters from any medium you might find a trope in are included, and typically change every week.

List of tropes covered by this webcomic can be found on the trivia sub-page.
