Cherry Poptart is the titular character in the Cherry Underground Comics created by Larry Welz. She currently goes solely by Cherry, due to a lawsuit from Kellogg, claiming a trademark infringement on its "Pop-Tarts" brand.

She is a Dumb Blonde who has lots of sex, sometimes in Mundane Fantastic situations, which are often parodies of popular movies, television shows and comic books, particularly Archie Comics, from which Welz derives his style. Welz also collaborates with Mark Bodé, the son of Cheech Wizard creator Vaughn Bodé. Mark draws Cherry in his father's trademark style.

Tropes used in Cherry Comics include:

• 3D Comic Book
• Adventurer Archaeologist: "Oklahoma Smith and the Lost Temple of Doomed Raiders"
• All Guys Want Cheerleaders
• All Men Are Perverts: All men are complete horndogs.
• All Women Are Lustful: Women who aren't lustful are prudes who hate sex.
• Anal Probing: Aliens do this to Cherry during The X-Files parody. Cherry, naturally, enjoys it.
• Animated Actors: Used sometimes for the Rule of Funny. Perhaps most strikingly seen in "Cherry Gets It in the End (and Mom Does Too!)" from Cherry #12, where Cherry is making moves on her boyfriend. All of the sudden, a male voice yells "CUT!" and the panel pans out to show Cherry and her friend on a set and surrounded by a film crew. The director states that there has been a couple of script changes, much to Cherry's confusion.
• Anything That Moves: Pretty much all female characters personify this.
• Art Shift: Drawn by Welz, Cherry resembles the style of Archie artist Dan DeCarlo. Drawn by Mark Bodé, Cherry resembles the style of Mark's dad, Vaughn.
• Auto Erotica: "Hot Rod Boogie", the first real Cherry story, is all about this. Needless to say, sex in cars occurs elsewhere in the series.
• Barbie Doll Anatomy: Captain Eeyow; a parody of Captain EO, the Michael Jackson science fiction character, found in the 3D issue. In the Eeyow story, Cherry pulls off his pants and finds no genitalia of either gender.
• Betty and Veronica: Cherry and Lola

• Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti: Cherry is abducted by a Bigfoot in one issue. And has sex with him.

• Hot Mom: Pepper, Cherry's mom.

• Off to See the Wizard: "Ellie Dee in the Land of Wuz"
• One Million BC: "Clan of the Care Bear"
• Only One Name: Due to the Kellogg lawsuit, the surname "Poptart" was dropped.
• Parental Incest: Cherry and her mother, Pepper, have been known to get it on with each other when no guys were available. In fact, through time travel, Cherry was her mother's first sexual experience ("I took your cherry!") and it seems pretty likely that Pepper returned the favor ("I taught her everything she knows!"). This is played strictly for laughs.
