Two Guys and Guy

"I've created horrible people."

—Rickard Jonasson

Two Guys and Guy is a M/W/F status quo gag-per-day webcomic. It follows the day-to-day adventures of three Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonists: Wayne, an average slacker; Frank, who is intelligent but amoral; and Guy, a shameless egotist who hangs around for her own amusement and profit. Their Comedic Sociopathy drives the plot of each comic.

Read it here.

Alien Abduction: Complete with Anal Probing.
Anticlimax: "The public is asked to keep an eye out for a burnt-faced man with a prosthetic hook for an arm."
Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?: "I don't know why I thought we had the same idea. Let's do your thing."
Art Evolution: For example Guy's eyes have been getting bigger. Other parts of her haven't.
Ax Crazy: Frank, undoubtedly.
Back From the Dead/Expendable Clone: Wayne, courtesy of Frank.
- And another, with a touch of Adult Fear.
Beware the Quiet Ones: Sleep with one eye open, you two.
Blush Sticker: Everyone has them but Guy's are the biggest.
Brick Joke: You might not think this strip is particularly funny. Then you get to this strip.
Butt Monkey: Wayne.
- And Lardo - I mean, Lars.
Can't Hold Her Liquor: Guy, evidently.
Cassandra Truth: "I don't understand why he left the Tesla Coil Safety Zone when I told him what would happen."
Characterization Marches On: Frank's major personality traits are defined in the third strip. In the strip prior, he actually expresses an emotion, complete with exclamation point. His sociopathy also isn't readily apparent until this strip.
Comedic Sociopathy: Everyone, especially Guy and Frank.
- The author will also deliberately invoke this trope in his blog comments related to the comic, making himself appear this way to further the joke.
Comic Trio: Typically, Guy is the leader/navigator, Frank the idiot/driver (though he enables the situation through his apathy rather than his ignorance), and Wayne the complainer/backseat, though the roles can shift depending on the joke.
- Perfect role correspondence here.
The Comically Serious: Frank, epitomized here.
Compensating for Something: Wayne tends to do this a lot, see Testosterone Poisoning.

Double Standard Abuse (Female On Male): When Guy provokes strange men, Wayne gets sent to the hospital, via speed dial.
Dull Surprise: Frank.
Exact Words: It would appear “group therapy” means something different when it comes to Guy.
- This also seems to be a habit with Frank, as evidenced here and here.
- Guy as a beach bully pulls this too.
- UFO means "unidentified flying object." If Frank can identify it, then it's not a UFO.
Fail O'Suckyname: Wayne W. Wayne.
Failed a Spot Check: Evidently, Guy's default state of being. Observe.
Fiery Redhead: Guy

- You’ll notice in this strip that Frank is setting a rat trap in the first two panels.

Gold Digger: Guy. She even considers Wayne's father as a potential Meal Ticket.
Gypsy Curse: Subverted in this strip in that while she doesn’t appear to have any supernatural powers, she has other ways of Wayne suffer.
