  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Kudzu was a comic strip written and illustrated by Doug Marlette, which ran from 1981 to 2007. It focused on the life of a hapless teenager named Kudzu Dubose growing up in the rural town of Bypass, North Carolina. Kudzu is a hopeless romantic, an aspiring author who pines hopelessly after Veranda Tadsworth, a vapid cheerleader who has little room in her heart for anyone but Veranda. Kudzu would like nothing more than to leave his sleepy little town and find fame and fortune in the big city, but he is constantly held back by Mama, his overbearing, hypochondriac mother.

While Kudzu was the main character of the strip, he was largely eclipsed by the popularity of the local pastor, the Reverend Will B. Dunn. Will B. Dunn, based on a real-life cantankerous Southern preacher, was a bumbling schemer constantly looking to make a fast buck and trying to deal with his church's extremely strange congregation.

The strip came to an abrupt end in July 2007, when Doug Marlette was killed in a car accident. This page was started by User:Fringe Benefits, a devoted fan and personal friend of his, in his honor.
