The Alleged Car: Zigzagged with Daisy, the Todd Brothers' jeep, which is initially presented as an absolute wreck when Nip buys it in strip #40, but which is ultimately patched up and made into a hard-running, reliable workhorse of a car.Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: A variant in strip #752, Hortense apologizes for her wildly unusual behavior, in particular snatching Thelma's bathrobe away to force the possum into showing up her new bikini for Tuck, by explaining that the intense heat of the tropical Caribbean sun is so different to what she's used to in Malarkey that she was effectively drunk.In the "lost strips" from the Nip & Tuck- The Funday Pawpet Show crossover, Thelma actually states at one point that she takes her wardrobe advice from her great-grandmother. As in, Hortense, Malarkey County's resident "angry feminist", tells her she dresses down too much at one point, and hangs a lampshade that if she is criticizing Thelma's lack of sex appeal, then she is desperately overemphasizing her modesty. Age-Inappropriate Dress: Thelma dresses extremely conservatively.A Degree in Useless: Deconstructed in post-revival strip #62, which points out that based on the timing of when you get it, any college degree can be useless in the practical sense.When Tuck responds to the sleezy reporter trying to mock him by pantsing the guy on live TV in strip #17, the reporter's own video crew find it hilarious. ![]() In strip #12, whilst Tuck is raving about how Redneck Rampage is built on offensive stereotypes about rednecks as dim-witted, inbred, violent, gluttonous, flatulent drunkards, Nip is giggling to himself over the ability to use exploding chickens as weapons.(Turtles are literally the only species in any of the author's comics to get this trope, which is understandable given how much a turtle's shell covers and how hard it is to put clothing on.) Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: Coot the turtle, who owns the military surplus store.When they keep it up all day despite her lack of reciprocation, then she gets angry. When Hortense gets flirtatious calls from the gator men aboard the cruise ship, initially, she's very flattered, since she's not used to being seen as "sexy" by men.Initially, this is how Tuck thinks of Thelma.The first ones are also collected in three volumes. The strip has started up again after a long period of hiatus (with a cameo from the characters in Goblin Hollow at one point), but the storyline regarding the financial problems of the Purloined Letters Studio has been put on hold for the time being. ![]() Throughout the series, the brothers get mixed up in various hijinx, including babysitting a pair of rival budding evil geniuses, accidentally entering Tuck's girlfriend into a porno photoshoot, helping a rookie journalist try to prove the existence of the local lake monster to the world, training a junior boxer to fight the town bully, and even MST-ing Nip's movies. The main focus is on Nip and Tuck Todd, two fox brothers of the somewhat loopy Malarky County, located somewhere (judging by the cast's accents) in the southern USA. ![]() Nip and Tuck is one of Ralph Hayes, Jr.'s webcomics ( Goblin Hollow and Tales of the Questor are among his others).
