* NoPronunciationGuide: Peewit's name in the English language books and cartoon episodes is usually pronounced Pee-Wee.[[note]]And this was long before a certain other [[Film/PeeWeesBigAdventure Pee-Wee became famous.]][[/note]] The TV series intro pronounces the name just as it is spelled.

Baleful Polymorph was renamed per TRS


* BalefulPolymorph: The handsome Thierry of Plennevaux is turned into a dog by his rival the Baron of Maltrochu. Peewit also volunteers as a guinea pig for the transforming potion in order for an antidote to be found.



* ForcedTransformation: The handsome Thierry of Plennevaux is turned into a dog by his rival the Baron of Maltrochu. Peewit also volunteers as a guinea pig for the transforming potion in order for an antidote to be found.



* ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing: The BalefulPolymorph potion in ''The curse of Maltrochu'' does not affect clothes. When Peewit drinks it, he keeps his human clothes (who happen to more or less fit his bull dog form) and never bothers to change out of them. When Thierry is returned to human form at the end of the story, he is stark naked (we don't get to see it, of course, but Thierry is quite embarrassed once he notices it, Johan quickly offers his cape "so that he does not get cold", and Peewit snickers).

Oops, Hidden Depths was already on the character page


* HiddenDepths: Peewit proves a surprisingly competent ruler during his brief sting as a lord in ''The Earl of Montresor'', refusing to impose unfair taxes to his subjects and quickly realising that his advisers had stolen most of the treasury for themselves.



* OneSteveLimit: Averted in "The War of the Seven Springs". There's a whole dozen of lords named "Baufort" coming to claim a castle and its land. This leads to some confusion among them when.

* KnowsAGuyWhoKnowsAGuy: All the Baufort heirs in ''The War of the Seven Springs'' are related to the Aldebert de Baufort by extremely complicated connections (some of which are not even actual family ties) to the exception of course of the rightful heir (who is Aldebert's great-grandson).



* TheLoad: The King in ''The Cursed Country'' insists on following Johan and Peewit on their way to the titular country, and does nothing useful during the whole trip apart from complaining and occasionally hindering them (such as causing their raft to capsize out of fear of a will'o the wisp). Peewit ends up threatening him with a club when he asks them to bring him back to the castle while they are halfway through, and thinks at one point that he will end up committing regicide. To the King's defence, this was one of the most arduous trips the duo had ever undertaken (involving crossing a forest, a swamp, a desert, and tall mountains), but he had been forewarned and insisted to come anyway.

* EasyAmnesia: Homnibus the wizard in "La Pierre de Lune".Lune" loses his memory after receiving a TapOnTheHead and recovers it that way. In an interesting variation, the amnesia came with an alteration of his personality, giving him frequent mood swings and an overall nastiest demeanour than his usual good-natured self.

* LongRunner

to:

* LongRunnerLongRunner: The first story was first published in 1954, while the latest (and probably last) one in 2001. Despite this, [[SequelGap there have only been 17 books published]].



* TheMiddleAges

to:

* TheMiddleAgesTheMiddleAges: The stories take place in the 11th century in Europe, though the actual location is never given. Apart from the fact that magic and dragons exist, the setting does look reasonably close to that era (minus the most unpleasant parts, since the comic is aimed at children).



* SetSwordsToStun: A lot of battles with swords and otherwise bladed weapons, but remarkably no bloodshed. Even when Peewit lets loose with his favorite weapon, an actual morning star, the opponents merely get as much damage as from a strong punch and a black eye. The worst Pee-Wee himself gets is a rock falling on his helmet, getting it stuck on his head and swearing because he can't remove it.

As for Johan, he seems to use the blade of his sword exclusively for parrying. When he's seen striking a blow it's always to knock someone out with the hilt.


Added DiffLines:

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The Baufort heirs decide to work together to get rid of the rightful heir before deciding who will inherit of the castle of the seven springs. Since they are all after the same goal and can't stand each others to begin with, they break into fistfights at the first opportunity.

Even the fearless Johan [[TheDreaded is wary of him]]. Adept in sorcery, brainwashing and murders, he's so dangerous that he [[DisneyVillainDeath drowns offscreen]] rather than ending in the dungeons like every other baddie.
