History ComicBook / Zannablu

* BladeOnAStick: Parodied in ''The secret of Bechamel'', where, because of massive budget cuts, the apex of the pig's arsenal is reduced to... spears. Just spears. Luckily for the pigs, [[EpicFail the Boars are even less equipped than them]] and treat the spear as [[MundaneMadeAwesome the ultimate weapon threat]] (Boars themselves have just sticks or knives tied to sticks).

* ''[[StarWars Star Porks]]''

* CompilationRerelease: Starting from 2013, the authors began to rerelease the older issues in recolored 2-in-1 reprints. The first one was ''The Secret of the Béchamel'' and ''Harry Porker''(in the latter they also slightly changed the single line of dialogue of Phyton (see ShoutOut below) to make the reference joke more clear - it originally was a line from one of Renato Zero's songs, now it's the first line of the most known one, so everyone can get it), the second one features ''Zannablù Must not Die'' and the redrawn version of ''The Lord of the Pigs'' that was made some years before but never released since, the third contains ''Star Porks'' and ''The Thing that came from Outer Space'', the fourth features ''Ghostwurstels'' and ''The Werevampire Graveyard'' and the fifth features ''Pigsty of the Caribbean'' and ''High Noon''.

* ''[[VideoGame/AssassinsCreed Fatassin's Pig]]''

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* PoliticallyOvercorrectness: Parodied in ''Eat'': when one of the boys starts saying that the actions of the local skinheads are intollerant and can't be tollerated, his companions promptly points out that such an intollerance make him intollerant himself and such behaviour cannot be tollerated.... cue to the paradox giving birth to a devastating "Radical Chiclone".

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Played in ''Moron Fairytales''. In order to catch Puck around the fairytale world, he has to cut short many stories by having the main characters take an easier route. Such as Aladdin asking the genie to live happily ever after as his first wish, Puss in Boots's owner [[EatTheDog eating his cat in order to survive]] (and getting a lawyer in order to get a better part of his father's will) and the Ugly Duckling is eaten by Zannablù in order to put an end to his misery.

** ''Awater'' takes the "Na'vi=Giant [[Franchise/TheSmurfs Smurfs]]" gag to the extreme, calling the Neytiri parody "Na'pette", putting the classic Smurf hat on the Na'pigs and also showing [[UpToEleven Papa Na'pig, Brainy Na'pig, Hefty Na'pig and Grouchy Na'pig]].

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Happens a lot.
** Literally in ''Hamazing Spider-Mad'', where Zannablù is bitten from a radioactive dung beetle.
** ''Zannablù and the Love Machine''. The plot is about pigs enslaving boars by bribing them with a ''machine built for masturbating people''.
** In ''Zannablù must not die'', Zannablù starts to build voodoo dolls and gets loose. When they tell him to stop "using voodoo to poke every freak in the world", [[TakeThat he's holding a voodoo doll of a pig version of]] Music/AmyWinehouse. And this was written ''just a few months'' [[FunnyAneurysmMoment before her death]].
** ''Moron Fairytales''. The dwarves from Snow White are dressed in [=BDSM=] gear. Full stop.

* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: A major plot point in the ''Pigworld Chronicles'' saga is about stopping it from happening.

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Played in ''Moron Fairytales''. In order to catch Puck around the fairytale world, he haves to cut short many stories by having the main characters take an easier route. Such as Aladdin asking the genie to live happily ever after as his first wish, Puss in Boots's owner [[EatTheDog eating his cat in order to survive]] (and getting a lawyer in order to get a better part of his father's will) and the Ugly Duckling is eaten by Zannablù in order to put an end to his misery.

* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Giotto always haves a cigarette in his mouth, whatever his role is. Even as [[Series/GameOfThrones Joffrey]].

** Also, the people of Iron Arm Island are all looking like WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}}. As in, kinda normal human beings in a world of anthropomorphic swines where every mammal haves Floating Limbs.

* ContrivedCoincidence: Zannablù gets involved with the Rampant Crocodile cult only because circumstances get him to say the right password each time. Those passwords are "The parrot has spoken", "Come on, Crazy Pig... just forget it" and "ahum... well... thanks".
