  • Created by Craig Zobel and Matt Chapman (of Homestar Runner fame), Ron Planet is a webcomic that takes place circa 2040. It centers on Ron Planet, the last astronaut on Earth, and his lame life (i.e., cleaning up vomit in space). However, everything changes when a now dirt-poor NASA approaches him to solve a problem related to microwave popcorn. This webcomic provides examples of: * Adult Child: Blonde Hair and Red Hair * Anti-Hero: Ron is a Type II; all the other important characters fall under Type I. * Berserk Button: Mentioning Tang around Dr. Eggleston * Character Title * The Chew Toy: Ron. * Cloudcuckoolander: Blonde Hair and Red Hair. * Crapsack World: The most realistic one ever. * Deadpan Snarker: Ron * Determinator: Sidecar * Don't Explain the Joke: "Ron Planet Astronauting: 'Cause planets are in space!" * "Those were the names of some famous satellites" * Everything's Better with Monkeys: While there's technically no actual monkey, the concept art features a huge gorilla...and claims that the word, gorilla, can be used as an adjective. * Greek Chorus: Blonde Hair and Red Hair * He Knows Too Much: Ron's theory on how the moon people feel about Eggleston. * How the Mighty Have Fallen: * All astronauts; once space travel became too common, the once-romanticized career became a joke. * NASA itself has been reduced to one guy and two on-loan government agents. * In-Series Nickname: Carlos, aka "Sidecar". * Jaded Washout: Ron fits all the criteria, with the exception of laziness. * Jumped At the Call: Sidecar. * Meaningful Name: "'Cause planets are in space!" * Ms. Exposition: The old lady who explains the strip's concept of an astronaut to the little boy. * Only Sane Man: While definitely not normal , Ron seems to have a much better grasp on the world around him than his colleagues. * Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Seems to be going in this direction * Refusal of the Call: Ron. * Schedule Slip * Self-Deprecation: Ron, sometimes. * Squeaky Eyes: Dr. Eggleston. His blinks are audible. * Twenty Minutes Into the Future * What Could Have Been: It was originally going to be a movie, and came this close to being produced; then, the financiers backed out, so Matt and Craig decided to revive it as a webcomic...in the hopes that it gets popular enough to do the movie after all. * X Meets Y: Space Cowboys meets Invader Zim meets Homestar Runner.
