abstract
  • Johnny Optimism is a Cut-and-Paste webcomic that presents a darkly humorous look at the everyday life of a horribly ill, wheel-chair bound boy who is trying to remain optimistic despite his limited chances of survival. His only true friend is his dog, Lance. * A Boy and His X - Johny's dog Lance is with him all the time, as a side-effect of the strip's Cut-and-Paste nature. * A Worldwide Punomenon - A good chunk of the strips * Back-Alley Doctor - Well, he doesn't seem to be running an overtly shady business, but Johnny's doctor certainly nails the "incompetent" part of this. * Beat Panel - Used frequently. * Body Horror - Some of the doctors more...creative diagnosis fall into this category. * Cute and Psycho - Hinted at with the little girl with the toy duck. * Everything's Better with Monkeys - Subverted. Johnny receives a "helper monkey" in an early strip that looks and acts more like some kind of goblin. * Maniac Monkeys * Jerkass - The girl with the leg braces. * Kick the Dog - Most of the girl with leg braces dialogue. * The Dog Bites Back - occasionaly * Littlest Cancer Patient - Played for Laughs * The Disease That Shall Not Be Named - We never learn what exactly Johnny's got. We just know that it's terrible. * The Pollyanna - Johnny never loses hope, although unlike most examples of this trope he is keenly aware of the horribleness of his situation. * The Woobie - Johnny just can't catch a break.
