History Webcomic / VinciAndArty

* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Vinci's mother named him Richard Nicolaides after "the sexiest man alive" -- Creator/RichardGere. Vinci's father is [[CrowningMomentOfFunny speechless]].

** Vinci exhibits this trope often, to the point where it arguably counts as internalized homophobia. He hates pride rallies and goes to excessive lengths to hide his relationship from his parents. When the couple's more conservative neighbours show off their discontent for the homosexual duo, he pins the blame squarely on Arty for being so open. [[spoiler:He's apparently made some progress as of the sequel comic, which begins with him proposing to Arty.]]

''Vicni and Arty'' is a SliceOfLife FurryWebComic created by Candy [=DeWalt=]. It focuses on the lives of a gay male couple, Richard "Vinci" Nicolaides (GratuitousGreek: Ριχάρδ Νικολαΐδης) and Artisan (Arty) P Sunspot, living in the fictional town of Ballpointe, Pennsylvania. Consult your physician before attempting to read this webcomic, and have [[TastesLikeDiabetes your dentist on speed-dial]].

The archived strips can be found [[http://www.vincifruit.com/ here,]] while Stupid Fortune Cookie can be found [[http://stupidfortunecookie.com/ here.]]

* CampGay: Arty could be the poster child for this, in the FurryComic world. Though Vinci's outrageous girliness definitely counts too.

On December 8th, 2013, the comic was restarted, with old strips starting from the very beginning posted on Sundays (and later a Sunday/Thursday schedule) along with a commentary on each one.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Ms. [=DeWalt=] occasionally produces material for ''Webcomic/{{Jack|DavidHopkins}}'', often with much a more violent and depressing style than the normal comic material, and WordOfGod says this is canon. Note that even these DarkerAndEdgier bits are still extremely cutesy, and full of the kind of melodramatic {{Narm}} that would not be out of place in a ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'' [[YaoiFangirl yaoi]] fic, so "dark and edgy" is kind of relative.

* DudeLooksLikeALady: Vinci. And Vinci doesn't even do this ''on purpose'' -- most strangers will still confuse him for a girl. At one point Vinci even ''shaved his head'', and someone still thought he was [[SineadOConnor Sinead O'Cooner]].

* LethalChef: Vinci, at one point, made cookies that got mistaken for fish, when the character had a {{crossover}} with another [[FurryFandom furry]] {{webcomic}}, [[http://www.doemain.com A Doemain of Our Own]] (ended). In general, the results of Vinci's cooking are usually depicted with a cloud bearing a skull and crossbones (like the poison symbol) on the "scent cloud" for a reason. Later updates have explained why: [[spoiler: it may be caused by difficulties reading English recipes; he's prepared food from an all-Greek recipe book and had it turn out just fine. This would explain why he believes his food should turn out edible and tasty, though - after all, before he came to America, ''it did''; he's just been overestimating his ability to coherently read English.]]

** For those not interested in wading through the extensive archives and gory/angst-riddled side stories: [[spoiler: Vinci and Arty adopt a daughter, Greer, as noted below. Eventually, Vinci gets cancer (Jack's "It's Like Cancer") and fights it off; they grow happily older together until Arty dies saving a stranger from a fire. Vinci, unable to take the loss, commits suicide, which in the Jack-verse damns you to Hell while Arty is an angel in Heaven's legion, forcing them to be even more separated than initially. At the point the side stories are at, Vinci's bakery has been destroyed and he's been half-eaten by the cannibalistic Vorsches while trying to defend one of his only friends. Arty can't redeem him because Vinci simply refuses to accept that he's earned it.]]
