Natty Comics, written by Stephen Winchell, was a spin-off of another webcomic, Little Boy's Room, in which Natty was a recurring character. It was a webcomic about a young woman, Natty, who was tired of being undermined, underpaid, and underappreciated. Therefore, she turned to brutal violence against those of the opposite sex who acted inappropriately (which included everything ranging from catcalling her to one's favorite movies not having sizeable female roles) towards her. Joining her in her quest was her sister Honeycomb and their dad Norm.
In May 2020 Winchell disavowed the webcomic
(for speaking over women) and allowed the domain to expire, taking the comic and its archive offline, but you can access an unofficial archive here.
Natty Comics provide examples of:
- Author Tract: A vast percentage of the comic is about how much men suck and how that justifies Natty and co brutally maiming and killing them.
- Bloody Horror: Men were dismembered, ripped in half, reduced to skeletons, shot with cannons, guns, and bazookas, and stabbed with swords and knives in practically every comic.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Essentially every comic. If you're male, minor infractions such as accidentally touching the small of a woman's back, not listing movies with sizeable female roles as some of your favorites, catcalling, or telling someone you think they looked better with long hair got you dismembered, set on fire, decapitated, or beaten up.
- Eldritch Abomination: Natty became one of these in one comic after a guy called her ugly because she rejected his date offer.
- Fix Fic: Some comics have been edited by critics to add extra panels or replace endings to show more realistic consequences for Natty et al.'s actions - typically they end up arrested and / or incarcerated.
- Forced Transformation: In one comic, Natty turned a guy into a donkey after he mocked her favorite basketball team.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Natty, Honeycomb and their dad go berserk at the slightest provocation.
- Heel Realization: Most comics ended with Natty's murder victims joyfully proclaiming that she was right and they deserved their fate.
- Hypocrisy Nod: Natty constantly attacks "problematic" artists. In one strip, an old lady complains that Natty still likes KISS despite them also being "problematic." Natty then sets her on fire as Kiss plays some songs without really responding.
- Karma Houdini: Natty, Honeycomb, and Norm were never arrested or punished for the incredible acts of murder and violence they committed.
- Men Are the Expendable Gender: Where to even begin? Virtually every male character (even Natty’s dad in one comic) are subjected to horrific levels of violence, often fatally so.
- Poe's Law: Many people were unsure whether or not the comic is meant to be satire or if it was written seriously. Evidence, however, pointed strongly towards the latter.
- Post-Sex: While the reader did not get to see the sex in question, Natty was in an afterglow after having slept with a guy as seen in one comic and she actually enjoyed it and tries to get to know the guy better... only to go batshit insane when he mentioned movies that don't have a prominent female role. But, the worst she did here to the guy she slept with is kick him in the nuts.
- Prehensile Hair: That ripped you apart if you accused it of being too short in one comic
- Reality Warper: Natty appeared to be this given how she has, amongst other things: summoned up hell fire to incinerate someone with The Power of Rock, turned someone into a literal giant ass, opened a rip in spacetime to send someone back to the age of the dinosaurs, and caused her tattoo to come to life and eat them for touching it. Moreover there was her ability to commit wanton assault and murder without any obvious consequences and get her victims to see the error of their ways in doing so...
- Shoot the Television: While playing Pokémon game on what looks like a Nintendo 3DS, Natty becomes enraged when she's only offered the option to play as a boy or a girl and shoots the device while holding it.
- Straw Character: Practically every male character besides Norm and Racecar Johnny was portrayed as either ignorant of gender equality, perverted, guilty of microaggressions against women every day, or crude and tasteless. It was an easy way for Winchell to "justify" the terrible things Natty did to them.
