About-weesh 6949

Weesh is a webcomic by Dan Hess (a.k.a. the guy who made Angel Moxie), which features the titular rodent-like creature that grants wishes to the Merle siblings. The comic follows a gag-a-day format, with each week covering a certain theme, or the consequences of a wish gone wrong.

Characters:

  • Weesh - a wish-granting creature that runs on licorice.
  • Tate - the middle child, and a bit of a geek. Prone to making bizarre wishes.
  • Olivia - the youngest of the three. The epitome of an innocent little girl.
  • Zoey - the eldest child, who really just wants to be left alone.
  • Dad - the hard-working single dad.
  • Mo - a spunky girl who hangs out with Tate and gets caught up in his adventures.
Tropes used in Weesh include:


  • Be Careful What You Wish For - Pretty much every storyline in the comic, though because the kids aren't terribly bright, they never actually learn this.
  • Cheerful Child - Olivia
  • Deadpan Snarker - Zoey plays this to her siblings and to Weesh.
  • Emo Teen - Zoey gets into the goth subculture, but she refuses to actually be emo and can't stand them.
  • Eye Beams - One of Tate's wishes gives him these.
  • Gender Bender - Tate wishes he was cute like Olivia; physically he is, but it turns out to be about the personality as well...
  • Granola Girl - Zoe, when she's being political.
  • Idiot Hair - Zoey, oddly enough. If the series is supposed to be taken from the point of view Weesh (despite his status as a character within the story itself), then perhaps this trope is played straight; Zoey is somewhat foolish to not utilize Weesh's abilities more often. Then again...
  • Invisible to Adults - Weesh cannot be seen by grown ups, however the kids' Dad briefly gains the ability to see him (and mistakes him for a soft toy) after playing dolls with Olivia which indicates it's more to do with mindset than physical age.
  • Missing Mom - The kids' mother is never seen or mentioned, though their dad shows up often.
    • When Zoe was mistaken for their mother by the Pixie Puff troop leader, it was revealed that their mother "left [them] to go hang out in the rainforests of South America."
  • Noodle Implements - When Zoe hogged the TV, Tate's initial drawn-out plans to reclaim it involved these, though we never see him use them:
Cquote1

 Tate: You'll be stationed over here by the kitchen with the Super Happy Fun Balls... I'll position myself at the front door with the cheese whiz...

Weesh: And how exactly will this gain us the TV?

Tate: Just wait for the part about the ferrets, then it'll all make sense.

Cquote2
  • Only Six Faces - Lampshaded when it's brought up that Tate has Olivia's face, with glasses.
  • Power-Up Food- Weesh needs licorice to power his wish granting powers. The amount of licorice he eats is proportional to the size of the wishes he can grant. This also serves as a limit to his power, since he can only eat as much licorice as his petite stomach will hold.
  • Reset Button - Wishes expire after a certain time, and everything goes back to normal.
  • Ridiculously Cute Critter - Weesh
  • Tomboy - Mo
  • White Collar Worker - Dad
