"[[Word Salad Title|DAR!]] A Super Girly Top Secret Comic Diary" (story behind the name [http://www.darcomic.org/2008/02/17/darigins/ here]) was a [[Notable Slice of Life Webcomics|Slice of Life Webcomic]] drawn by Erika Moen before she ended it in 2009. As Erika changes a lot as a person during the six years she did the comic, the comic also changes significantly too. Here's the story:

Meet Erika Moen, 21-year-old college student. [[Queer As Tropes|Gay and loving it,]] except for the fact that her mom doesn't like it, [[All Love Is Unrequited|her crushes always break her heart]] and her on-again-off-again girlfriend keeps breaking up with her. Everything changes when spends seven months in France and meets Matt: they have a fling together, only for Erika to fall in love with him. After graduation, Erika moves to Portland, gets into a soul-sucking job, and tries to cope with a depression. Matt comes to visit and, on a whim, she and him get married. Erika becomes a full time artist (and loves it), and they all live [[Happily Ever After]]. [[Earn Your Happy Ending|Really.]]

Despite this, most of the strips are humorous, such as the continual fart jokes, jokes about sex toys, and the randomness of Erika's relationships with her friends.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: Matt was a fan of her comic who suggested meeting her when she took a trip to Europe. Seems he's now her official number one fan.
* [[Butch Lesbian]]: She enjoyed considering herself one, toting buzzcuts and tattoos. Though she also loved wearing the occasional Pineapple dress.
* [[Happily Married]]: [http://www.darcomic.org/2008/11/06/specialwed/ "We're special wed."]
* [[If It's You It's Okay]]: Up until she met Matt she never thought of herself as liking guys. It caused her to have an identity crisis in the fact that being a lesbian was what she identified as, she didn't really see herself as a bisexual, and "lesbian with one exception" sounded overly complicated. Then she sort of just said "Aw screw labels, I'm gettin' laid."
* [[Lesbian Until Graduation]]: [http://www.darcomic.org/2007/12/11/dykewithboyfriend/ Erika is a LUG].
* [[Journal Comic]]: Started off as mostly just a way for her to draw little artsy doodles while in college, but after a while became a great outlet for her.
* [[Man, I Feel Like a Woman]]: A [[Gender-Inverted Trope|gender inverted]] example: [http://www.darcomic.org/2008/03/04/superpower/ There's a reason why Erika was born with a vagina.]
* [[No Bisexuals]]: When she hooked up with Matt, her lesbian friends kept thinking that she turned straight, while some were upset that she didn't "become" bi. Some were '''[http://www.darcomic.org/2009/12/08/queer-marriage/ very]''' upset. [http://www.darcomic.org/2009/06/23/identity/ She now calls herself "queer".]
* [[NSFW]]: Erika and Matt appear naked a lot. Her in-depth look at vibrators isn't exactly kosher either.
* [[The Ladette]]: Erika. [http://www.darcomic.org/2007/08/13/pizzadinner/ Very much so.]
* [[Write Who You Know]]: [http://www.darcomic.org/2007/08/06/autobio01/ Comes with certain problems].
