Gunshow is a web comic made by KC Green. Starting off as a small gag a day strip, the jokes became more complicated over time. Over time it has developed a spanning continuity, with some recurring characters such as the Anime Club (who now have their own page!), The Rabbits and The Hairy Criminal. However it still remains a largely a gag a day comic, and knowing the continuity is largely more a Mythology Gag than something needed to understand the comic.
Tropes used in Gunshow include:
- Alternative Rock: If you're not sure, then it's alternative.
- Art Evolution: A couple years will do that.
- Affectionate Parody: Skylar Popcollar, and the Hairy Criminal's Tales From The Creep.
- Body Horror: Ima combines with Satan after she ate him as a wolf during a worldwide wolf invasion.
- Black Comedy
- Combined with Sadist Show and Diabolus Ex Machina/Deus Angst Machina in Two Friends. GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP
- Breakout Character: The Anime Club started as a one-off joke and grew into a rather large story.
- Brick Joke: Comic 319 explains why the rabbit got killed in 111
- Body Horror: Sad Worms.
- Cast of Snowflakes
