3	''[[http://revfitz.com/ Mr. Square]]'' is a BlackComedy DadaComic by Rev. Michael Fitzgerald (creator of Webcomic/KickTheFootballChuck and [[http://revfitz.com/existential-terror-breakfast/ Existential Terror and Breakfast]]). It stars the titular character "Mr. Square", a clinically depressed doodle and a pathologically enthusiastic sheep as they make their way through a terrifying, existential, and often inconsistent landscape. According to its disclaimer the comics are "...not proof read, and may have been created outside of sobriety" and that "the artist has little recollection of what they are about".

5	!!This webcomic contains examples of:
6
7	* AcidTripDimension: The entire "grass world" that they live in is a bad acid trip.
8	* AnthropomorphicFood: [[http://revfitz.com/comic/issue222/ "Captain Clown Banana"]] and [[http://revfitz.com/comic/issue340/ this blind peanut]].
9	* BlackComedy: Uses this trope in most comics, but with a prime example [[http://revfitz.com/issue342 here]]. In it Mr. Square goes to a fun house designed by Aleister Crowley. It ends with a [[spoiler:selfie-stick and a child's grave.]]
10	* BigCreepyCrawlies: The contents of the balloon in this [[http://revfitz.com/comic/issue234/ comic]]. Dear god.
11	* BungledSuicide: The main character once [[http://revfitz.com/comic/issue310/ tried to hang himself]] [[spoiler: but he was too top heavy.]]
12	* ComedicSociopathy: Uses this as a cornerstone to its comics. The titular Mr. Square is often put through both physical, and existential horrors for laughs. In [[http://revfitz.com/comic/issue374/ this comic]] he stands in absolute desolation and sadness as a "Schadenfreude-hat" salesman sets up shop next to him.
13	* CutAndPasteComic: The art is very cut and paste, but is self-aware of this and treats it very tongue and cheek. It is [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LampShadeHanging Lampshaded]] here: [[http://revfitz.com/issue193 issue 193]]
14	* DadaComic: Mr. Square seems to take this trope as it's manifesto, and though they are ALL extremely bizarre, these in particular are some of the weirdest: [[http://revfitz.com/issue164 issue 164]], [[http://revfitz.com/issue93 issue 93]] [[http://revfitz.com/issue95 and issue 95]]
15	* DemonicPossession: Happens once when the sheep drinks [[http://revfitz.com/comic/issue135/ "Zuulade"]].
16	* FunnyAnimal: The pathologically enthusiastic [[http://revfitz.com/comic/issue135/ sheep]].
17	* IKnowYouKnowIKnow: Mr. Square says, verbatim "I know that you know that I know what you know about knowing that I know, but you don't know that my knowledge of you knowing is not secret, I WANT you to know that I know so you don't know what I don't....you know?" [[http://revfitz.com/issue243 in this comic]]
18	* ItIsAlwaysSpring: Not only is it always spring in [[http://revfitz.com "Mr. Square"]] but they never seem to leave the same field of grass.
19	* NoFourthWall: Mr. Square wants to commit suicide because his world is drawn so poorly. The artist and his creations are openly mocked, [[http://revfitz.com/comic/issue161/ including his poor spelling]].
20	* SorryBillyButYouJustDontHaveLegs: in which [[http://revfitz.com/comic/issue184/ Mr. Square gets a limbless dog]] that lives a perfectly happy life...except the also limbless Square is unable to open its food.
21	* SpeechBubbles: often uses word bubbles as actual characters in [[http://revfitz.com/issue12/ 12]] and [[http://revfitz.com/issue143/ 143]] as well as using them as scenery in [[http://revfitz.com/issue48/ #48.]]
22	* SundayStrip: The comics had a Monday strip featured in color in light of the Sunday strip tradition. Color comics are now mostly updated sporadically.
23	* SurrealHumor: Most gags start out odd or "out of place" and quickly escalate into the surreal.
24	* TalkativeLoon: The Sheep. Most, if not all of his speech falls into this pattern. [[http://revfitz.com/comic/issue296/ In this comic]] he declares that the main character (who is right in front of him) was kidnapped and taken to "the twenty third century to fight the trees" before asking the main if they wanted to "go eat some muffins".
25	* TheChewToy: Mr. Square is often put through [[http://revfitz.com/comic/issue351/ existential horrors]] for laughs. He bemoans often that he cannot kill himself and is thus doomed to experience more torture.
26	* TheRant: Every comic has the tag "Disclaimer: The following was not proof read, and may have been created outside of sobriety. The artist has little recollection of what this is about."
27	* WordSaladHumor: Most everything "the sheep" says in Mr. Square is this, but a prime example is when Mr. Square makes [[http://revfitz.com/comic/issue380/ "Gutter Muppet Glitter Cakes"]].
