Tropes
- Abusive Parent: Zippy becomes this after the Tigers manipulate him.
- Adaptational Personality Change:
- Flippy was a lot more sensitive and a bit clumsy in the comic.
- While Cuddles is still a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, he became a lot nicer in the comic.
- Toothy was more antagonistic in the comic but he was still a Nice Guy.
- Big Brother Instinct: Tyson to Tyler and Tyke, despite Tyke being older him. It's safe to say that they all care about each other.
- Butt-Monkey: Flippy, Toothy, Cuddles and Flaky were getting into a lot of trouble since Flippy's Berserk Button was pushed.
- Criminal Amnesiac: Zippy fights in a war against the tigers where he survives a plane crash and develops amnesia. The tigers find him and manipulate him into believing he is their commander.
- Driven to Suicide: Tyson became this when he lost his brothers.
- Good Parents: Zippy was very happy to see his newborn son and seems to love and care for him.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Toothy seems to have this when Flippy destroyed his car (and everything else). The Tigers are no better.
- Jerkass Has a Point: While Cuddles was mocking Flaky's fear of chickens (ducks), he has a point. Tyson may be evil, he is right about the fact that Flippy watched his friends died, but not his family.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: As mean and self-centered Cuddles can be, he generally cares for his friends. The Tigers may be villains, but they love each other.
- Killed Off for Real: Flippy's war friends and the Tigers.
- Took a Level in Badass: Flaky pushed Tyke away to prevent him from shooting Flippy and Zippy.
- Lighter and Softer: While the comic still has its dark moments, it is still way more tamer than its Bloody Hilarious source material.
- Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: A Winged Unicorn appears throughout in the comic and sometimes interacts with Flippy. But it is never revealed if it is real or just a hallucination.
- Minor Kidroduction: The comic begins with Flippy's childhood with his dad, Zippy.
- Nice Guy: Including Flippy and Flaky, Zippy appears to be this.
- Radio Voice: The Tigers seem to have this.
- Ship Tease: Flippy and Flaky.
- Simpleton Voice: Lumpy seems to have this to fit his role in The Ditz.
