History Webcomic / Wonderlab

Wonderlab is an ongoing webcomic released by Project Moon in collaboration with the Korean artist MIMI, which started on March 27, 2020. It focuses on a branch of {{VideoGame/Lobotomy Corporation}} known as O-5681. It's identical to HQ in many ways, but with notable differences. Instead of the Sefirot introduced in Lobotomy Corporation, this branch has "department heads", which are the employees with the most authority of their respective department. Also, instead of 9 departments, this branch only has 5: Control, Safety, Information, Training, and Disciplinary.

* PunctuatedForEmphasis: In Episode 8, this is done by Rose when Taii brings up the possibility of being friends with an Abnormality (i.e Tangle) instead of running away and being attacked while managing them.

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Depending on the species of the person/entity speaking, the text bubbles are styled differently. For instance, regular humans get the standard white bubbles with black outlines, Abnormalities get black bubbles with white, sketchy outlines, and Manual's speech bubbles are grey and square-shaped.
** Like in HQ, each department has a specific color assigned to it. Control is light brown (plus red and green), Info is purple, Safety is green, Training is orange, and Disciplinary is red.

* AmbiguousGender: Nearly every human character introduced is referred to via gender-neutral terms and are designed to be androgynous. In the original version of Wonderlab, the characters are not given any pronouns and are simply referred to by their names.

* MonsterOfTheWeek: Wonderlab introduces Abnormalities in this sort of manner. Some Abnormalities will only have a single episode or two dedicated to them while others have several episodes. [[note]]The comic operated more on the former method during its earlier episodes, but as the series went on, Abnormalities got more and more episodes dedicated to them and what they do.[[/note]]

** The Red Queen and Hookah Caterpillar, respectively, are based on the Queen of Hearts and the Caterpillar from {{Literature/Alice in Wonderland}}.

* MainliningTheMonster: Branch O-5681, like other branches of Lobotomy Corporation, is tasked with harvesting Enkephalin from the abnormalities they contain and turning them into energy.

This comic in particular focuses on the Disciplinary Department, with three employees acting as main characters of sorts: Catt, the captain of the Disciplinary Team. Taii, a Clerk from Training who was promoted to an Agent in Disciplinary after an abnormality killed a previous employee they were counselling. And Rose, an employee that was hired to work for Disciplinary after the Disciplinary Team got wiped out in the Prologue.

* ShoutOut: Many abnormalities in this branch are based around fairy tales and story books.
