'''Pibgorn''' is a web comic by Brooke McEldowney, creator of ''[[Nine Chickweed Lane|9 Chickweed Lane]]'' and is more or less a spin-off of the earlier strip. It follows the life of the eponymous fairy as she reacts to demigods who act like petty bureaucrats, her rival Drusilla the succubus, blustering loon Thorax, demonic game show hosts, idiotic robots and angels of death who act like bike couriers. It allows McEldowney more latitude to use large words and engage in the double entendre and good girl art that is his forte. Unlike his other strip 9 Chickweed Lane, Pibgorn is highly sexualized, and frequently features nudity, violence, and gratuitous sexual liaisons involving the main cast.

* [[All Women Are Lustful]]: Since most of the early strips were dedicated to seeing which of the two female leads would get the right to service [[Author Avatar]] Geoff, it's sort of easy to see that the author is marching merrily on with the same theme he propounded in the parent strip. Indeed, virtually every single female character introduced invariably beds an [[Author Avatar]] of some variety or another. Frequent motifs include BDSM, demon mind-rape, and sight gags involving nudity of the titular character.

Pibgorn is a web comic by Brooke McEldowney, creator of 9 Chickweed Lane and is more or less a spin-off of the earlier strip. It follows the life of the eponymous fairy as she reacts to demigods who act like petty bureaucrats, her rival Drusilla the succubus, blustering loon Thorax, demonic game show hosts, idiotic robots and angels of death who act like bike couriers. It allows McEldowney more latitude to use large words and engage in the double entendre and good girl art that is his forte. Unlike his other strip 9 Chickweed Lane, Pibgorn is highly sexualized, and frequently features nudity, violence, and gratuitous sexual liaisons involving the main cast.

Tropes used in Pibgorn include:

Pib: I'm half fairy, half bimbesque android.
