''Yps'' was a German magazine for kids which published a number of syndicated comics (both [[USAndCanadianComics American]] and [[FrancoBelgianComics Franco-Belgian]] ones) plus some homebrewed ones (see below). During the earlier years, they also brought articles about science and technics. The real reason the magazine became famous was a different one: The gimmick (not TheGimmick), some toy readers could build by themselves, or something similar.
* Yps & co: Four {{Funny Animal}}s living together in a house: The mouse Kaspar, the frog Patsch, the canary Willy and the eponymous checkered kangaroo Yps. Not to the joy of their square neighbor Waldig. Each magazine contains a one-pager where they present the gimmick of the week.
* Yinni & Yan aka The Yps-Team: Four young journalists making TV reportages and getting involved in adventures and other hijinks. Consists of Yinni at the microphone, her boyfriend cameraman Yan, Yorick who's responsible for the sound, and their coworker Yack, who mostly stays in the studio.
* Gespenster [=GmbH=] ("ghosts inc."): A family of ghosts spooking on a castle. The realtor owning the castle wants to get rid of them, while the old gardener is at their side.
* Professor Ypsus: Ranging between AbsentMindedProfessor and MadScientist. Then, there are also his colleagues Schwyps and Gryps.
* Bens Bande (Ben's gang): A group of four kids (and a raven) around Ben, who's really the son of a noble family, in a small German city.
!!!Syndicated comics:
* Pif und Herkules (Pif le chien / Spiff and Hercules), from the French magazine ''Pif Gadget''. Pif (a dog) and Herkules (a stray cat) are buddies who stay together even if they often have a fight.
* Piffi (Pifou), also from ''Pif Gadget''. Piffi is a small dog living together with the bulldog Brutus, who is the StraightMan (and sometimes ButtMonkey) in their short, gag-based strips.
* RobinDubois, a RobinHoodParody

* OnlyOneName: Everyone in Yps & co, AND in the Yps-Team.
* PeripheryDemographic: Originally made for kids, Yps found that many fans stayed with it over the decades.
* SevenYearRule: The articles about science, technics, history etc. Many gimmicks were also repeated, not that fans would mind.
!!!Yps & co:
* BunglingInventor: Kaspar, often.
* FavoriteAnimalFood: Kaspar likes cheese.
* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Kaspar only wears long pants, including one big suspender. Patsch wears trunks for swimming and flippers (for swimming, you know)
* UnmovingPlaid: Yps the kangaroo.
!!!Yinni & Yan:
* ArtShift: The style especially of Yinni & Yan changed radically several times through the decades, as you can see [[http://www.ypsfanpage.de/comics/yinni.php here]]. Strangely, the artist stayed the same all the time.
* BigEater: Yorick
* BlindWithoutEm: Yan
* BoomerangComeback: When the Yps team went to Australia
* TheDitz: Yorick
* [[TheSixthRanger The fourth ranger]]: Yack, who often doesn't appear in the stories at all - he didn't fulfill a role necessary for character or story dynamics.
* TheKlutz: Yorick
* MeanBoss: Herr Knüllmüller. More realistic than other examples - he's old, grumpy, constantly criticizes their work and doesn't make their life any easier, but doesn't resort to criminal means. Not that we know of.

* CatchPhrase: "glop-glop" for Piffi. Or "nix glop" if things don't run well.
* FurryConfusion: In one Piffi story, he is sent to school because Brutus is fed up with Piffi's catchphrase. A dog (four-legged and all) seeing this comments, ComicallyMissingThePoint: "Good thing that I'm a dog!"
* StandInPicture: Piffi does it once. Brutus feels pissed off having to look at Piffi's smug face and starts making faces at the pictures. When Piffi returns the favor, Brutus is so shocked he goes KO.
!!!Bens Bande:
* BigEater: Saul, of the fat kind
* CoolOldGuy: Butler Jean-Johann
* PerkyGoth: Tim is the son of a coffin-maker and often helps with the work. That's why he always wears black. This was before there was a real Goth movement (especially in small German cities), but otherwise he fits.
