Wuffle is for all ages, aiming to be more like the nostalgic comic strips of old.
The comic publishes every Wednesday on its website
, and is free to syndicate and reuse for any reason.
Has a character sheet.
Tropes:
- Affectionate Parody:
- Of folk tales with a big bad wolf (not to be confused with The Big Bad Wolf who appears in fairy tales as a Stock Character, of course).
- The artist has also made one of Astro Boy, but cast with Wuffle characters and personalities.
- Art Evolution: The art has improved greatly from the first few strips.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: This strip has Foxxo telling Wuffle to make his TV work like the old one. Naturally, Wuffle being Wuffle, he literally makes the TV works just like the old ones.
- Digital Piracy Is Okay: Creator Piti Yindee actively encourages (on his the comic site's "Free License" page) for people to copy, recreate, and even sell copies and derivative works of "Wuffle." This is made as legally official as possible thanks to Yindee's use of the "Creative Commons Zero" waiver, a fairly unprecedented move for most webcomics artists (and artists in general).
- Explosive Breeder: When at a book signing, Matilda notices that she's second - and last - in line, with plenty of books left. The first in line is a mother rabbit who wants all of the books for her several children, who she holds in her overcoat.
- Face Palm: Foxxo does this when Wuffle outpranks him during April Fool's.
- Fashionable Asymmetry: Wuffle's trademark suspenders always have the left strap missing, leaving them to droop on that side.
- Fiery Redhead: Debbita, who has red hair and brown fur.
- Fractured Fairy Tale: In one story arc, Wuffle has to act as the Big Bad Wolf in a school play of Little Red Riding Hood. Of course, since Wuffle is a Nice Guy, Hilarity Ensues and the play becomes something else entirely.
- Gone Horribly Right: Wuffle's attempt to fix Pinky's fan.
- Hand-or-Object Underwear: Used by Wuffle in an Easter special, after an overzealous group of kids tear up the lower half of his bunny costume while trying to get the eggs.
- Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Well, actually Huge Guy, Tiny Guy, with Chuck and Dr. Greyham.
- Imagine Spot: What Debbita thinks Joe's scar is for.
- Lean and Mean: The recurring fox. Subverted in that she's usually just doing her job, and only coincidentally antagonistic. That said, they does find delight in what goes on around her, though never perpetrates it.
- Loads And Loads Of Characters: There are already more than two dozens characters introduced in the comic, all with own character tags.
- Leet Speak: Aunt Pinky, but only when she's gaming, though.
- Mr Fix It: Wuffle, taken Up To Eleven. Most notable is he once broke a tablet, and fixed it so well that it's turned into a holographic projector.
- No Sense of Personal Space: Debbita, evidenced by her tendency to sneak up on people.
- Odd Couple: Wuffle and Pui Pui. Wuffle is genuinely nice, helpful and hardworking. Pui Pui is very lazy and prone to fits of anger.
- One-Word Title: Also a Protagonist Title, as the story follows Wuffle.
- Out-Gambitted: Foxxo pranks Pui Pui and Wuffle by asking them to fix his car (when they get there, it's a box on wheels). Wuffle gets Foxxo back but good.
- Perpetual Smiler: Subverted in Wuffle's case, though played straight with Chuck.
- Protagonist Title: Also a One-Word Title, as the story follows Wuffle.
- Public Domain Character: Wuffle himself, and the entire cast, are all public domain characters thanks to creator Piti Yindee's use of the "Creative Commons Zero" waiver on the "Wuffle" comic series. Unlike most public domain characters, who reside there thanks to an expired or invalid copyright, Yindee's copyright was actually given up willingly with the intention of making the Wuffle comics free for anyone to copy, sell, reuse, recreate, and distribute in general.
- Puni Plush: After Art Evolution, along with giving everything a much rounder and more pleasant look.
- Running Gag: Whenever Wuffle cooks eggs for breakfast, it's expected Wuffle would not get what he expects.
- In this precious strip, Wuffle collects a fresh egg from the hens, and cooks it for his meal. Right as he's about to eat it, the egg's cooked yolk hatches into a live chick, right on the dinner plate.
- Another one has a large one that Wuffle thinks would make a good omelet, but when he tries to crack it on the side of a bowl the entire table breaks from the force.
- This one has the egg function like a matryoshka doll.
- Wuffle also seems to have the supernatural ability to instantly fix broken appliances & electronics, only for them to unintentionally turn out significantly better than they were before.
- In this precious strip
- Scenery Porn: This.
- Status Quo Is God: When Wuffle gets a pair of new overalls, they look like his old ones within a week.
- Straight Gay: Chuck the mail horse and his boyfriend Dr. Greyham.
- Discriminate and Switch: When Chuck states that fact in the Christmas comic, Pui Pui is shocked...that the village has a doctor! Apparently, everyone is so healthy that Dr. Greyham doesn't get to do his job that often.
- Stuff Blowing Up: This strip.
- Unstoppable Mailman: Chuck takes his job very seriously.
