* AbsenteeActor: In some of the older stories Lambik or either Sidonia were sometimes absent, despite having been added to the main cast already. Vandersteen was still experimenting with his characters in those days and sometimes tried having Suske, Wiske and Lambik going alone on adventure, other times tried to have Sidonia and the children do the same, without Lambik.

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard were merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before re-adding to make sure the example qualifies.

Tante Sidonia is Wiske's aunt. She takes care of her and Suske, who was adopted by them. Sidonia is a clever woman who can really take charge of a situation when the children are in danger. Apart from that she is also comic relief, as her long nose, quiff, tall and thin body and big feet are the frequent butt of jokes, usually by Lambik, who gets her shoe thrown at his head. She is single and craves to find a husband, but is secretly in love with Lambik too.

[[quoteright:203:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/83effa46540d2e8b8c34f5af46a69053.jpg]]
Rikki is Wiske's older brother. Vandersteen originally named the character "Suske", but [[ExecutiveMeddling his newspaper editor had changed the name into "Rikki" without consulting him]]. He made his debut in the very first official story ''Rikki en Wiske in Chocowakije'', but was written out of the franchise in the next story and replaced by someone closer to Wiske's own age: Suske.
* BelatedHappyEnding / TheBusCameBack: Rikki ''eventually'' returns for one story.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He takes care of his younger sister and protects her.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: For more than 60 years Rikki's fate was unresolved and unknown. The flimsy reason for his disappearance was only mentioned in the preview panel that traditionally appears a day or two before the actual story begins serialisation. However, since these panels were never included in the paperbacks until much, much later, Rikki seems to just disappear for no reason when you read the series now.
* {{Expy}}: He is obviously modelled after ComicBook/{{Tintin}}, which also explains why Vandersteen replaced him.
* PutOnABus: At the start of "Het Eiland Amoras" ("The Isle Of Amoras") Rikki is sent away to wait in line for a shoe bond [[note]] This album was drawn in 1945 [[/note]], but never reappeared in the series.
