Star Guys is a defunct Web Comic by Brandon "Jolty" Mays. It followed the lives of nine anthropomorphic Pokémon, all named after the nine planets (before it became eight), all a different colour from the pokémon of their race, and each with a sun on its head (turns out that Arceus just wanted to "fart around with biolodgy" that day).
As of 2010, it's stopped updating.
Tropes used in Star Guys include:
- All Just a Dream: #73 Fuuuture.
- All There in the Manual: Did you know that Saturn has a staff and surfboard, which is goes to riots with? No? It's all there on the Character pages/Other pages.
- Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Nancy and Greg, Earth's parents.
- Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: Pretty much the whole premise of the comic.
- Amusing Injuries: Most of the injuries that anyone gets.
- Angrish: Saturn at the end of this strip.
- Art Evolution
- Berserk Button: Call Ana 'Uranus', and she'll tear you a new one.
- British Stuffiness: Centauri
- Cannot Spit It Out: Jupiter and Venus.
- The Ditz: Saturn, Saturn, Saturn! And Jupiter.
- Does Not Like Men: Ana.
- Driven to Suicide: Jupiter, after evolving into the Nightmare Fuel-ish Gliscor...At least in Pluto's imagination.
- Embarrassing First Name: Earth's real name is.......Terra! And then there's Ana's real name, 'Uranus'...
- Erudite Stoner: Though he hasn't been shown doing anything lately, Pluto qualifies for this trope.
- Gender Bender: #46 'BodySwap'. That is all.
- Has Two Mommies: Pluto.
- Happily Married: Quite a few of the main character's parents, but not all.
- Heterosexual Life Partners: Earth and Neptune.
- Ho Yay: Mars and Pluto. May just be one-sided though.
- Improbable Species Compatibility: Jupiter once explained the concept to Pluto. Pluto was not amused.
- Leet Lingo: Saturn and his parents speak in 'n00b'. And according to Saturn's father, Saturn's vocabulary has improved.
- Love Dodecahedron
- Mister Seahorse: Jupiter. It turns out that it was just indigestion, and his water breaking was just urine.
- Musical Episode: Every eleventh strip - at least to a point.
- Must Have Coffee: Mercury.
- Quirky Miniboss Squad: When Centauri, Rigil, Jeeves, Ceres, and Eris meet, they seem to form one of these. That is, when they're not too busy stalking/trying to kidnap/win back/hitting on any of the main characters.
- Only Sane Man: Mars certainly feels like this at times.
- Physical God: Arceus, and perhaps Mew. Oh, and Jesus.
- Shout-Out: Quite a few. One that immdiately spings to mind...."Screw the rules, I have green hair!"
- Straw Feminist: Ana.
- Theme Naming: Let's see, we have characters named after the eight planets, four named after the dwarf planets, two named after stars, and around 5+ named after moons.
