renamed to Prefers Going Barefoot and rewritten to focus on characters who explicitly dislike wearing shoes


* DoesNotLikeShoes: Being NighInvulnerable and immune to extreme temperatures, Gogo has no use for shoes. Even less so now that her nails seem to have turned into pointed claws.

** [[http://vanheist.deviantart.com/art/laughter-in-the-dollhouse-166716595 One time]], she was given a talking [[EverythingsBetterwithPlushies plushie]] of herself. It said embarrassing things like "I paw at my crotch in public." and "I use violence as conversation tool." She didn't seem to know how insulting it was and thought the plushie was cool.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* GiantWoman: Gogo easily towers over the rest of the main cast at a little over 6 1/2 ft after her bodybuilding. An upcoming villain named Titus [[UpToEleven dwarfs even ''her'']] at more than 8 ft tall!

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Or fur in Pablo's case. Cora May has purple hair in most appearances. A throwaway line in the retelling suggests its dyed.

Meganekko is no longer a trope. It's a Fanspeak term. Moving wicks to Bespectacled Cutie when appropriate.


* {{Meganekko}}: Elaine, Andy's mother, is never seen without her glasses.

''[[http://vanheist.deviantart.com/gallery/3749890/ Bomango]]'' is a unsorted (no longer as of late 2016) Webcomic drawn and written by Rob Ten Pas. It follows the life and times and exploits of one Gogo Ayo Gigamoto Bomango, her genius and bubbly 'twin' Didi, and their friendship with a completely normal Mid-Western teenager named Andy as they try to 'fit in' with modern society.

As of October 2016, it began to weave a proper narrative, with the author relaunching it to a new continuity that can be found at [[http://www.bomango.net/ the official website]], or [[https://vanheist.deviantart.com/gallery/60766149/Bomango-ReLaunch this DeviantArt gallery]].

Your Cheating Heart is an index, not a trope.


* DirtyOldMan: WordOfGod says that Roy has given some thought of getting into Gogo's pants (after not so subtly dropping a "hint" to Andy) but he's not capable of acting on it. And this is despite the fact [[YourCheatingHeart that he's a married man with a teenage daughter]]. [[http://vanheist.deviantart.com/art/feliz-navidad-189956671 This holiday shot]] shows him drunkly flirting with Gogo, much to his wife's irritation and Leesha's embarassment. And it's PlayedForLaughs.

* YourCheatingHeart: {{Subverted}} or {{Downplayed}} perhaps, despite Roy having a mild attraction for Gogo, WordOfGod says he'll never act on it. Being married with a daughter will do that, man.

* FreudianExcuse: According this [[http://vanheist.deviantart.com/art/times-are-a-changin-137362092 strip]], Gogo experienced social isolation at a young age, received a poor education, and got beat up frequently at the age of 13. It was not until she was 17, she started showing violent tendencies.

** Gogo and Didi are named after the two main characters of Theatre/WaitingForGodot, they're diminutives of "EstraGOn" and "VlaDImir."

Added DiffLines:

* BloodyHilarious: Gogo is able to separate Didi from her completely only after judicious use of a hacksaw. We don't get to see the act, but the entire room is splattered with blood and they're both fairly casual about it.


Added DiffLines:

* TrulySingleParent: Gogo created Didi by simply willing her into existence, causing her to ''grow out of her''.

* ArtEvolution: It actually evolved quite casually over the course of three years. The most noticeable part is Gogo earlier being quite scrawny to latter become an AmazonianBeauty.

--> '''Gogo''': Don't be so silly boo-bear. Often, the difference between love and hate is like the difference between red and orange.
* BerserkButton: If Gogo likes somebody, do NOT harm them emotionally or physically. She will find you and give you a warning before she "smash you into yours basic elements and eat them".

!!The new continuity provides examples of:

* BadLiar: Gogo claims she's from "The...city?", "The...The '''big''' one. '''You''' know...". Andy's probably not dumb enough to believe that.
* BerserkButton: [[http://www.bomango.net/comics/2531366/terms-and-conditions/ Being called a pet, apparently for Pablo.]]
* BigEater: After their second meeting, Andy bought Gogo lunch. Gogo is, of course, completely stuffing it all inside her mouth.
* IronicJuxtaposition: A box labeled DISHES CAREFUL WITH THESE!!! naturally, [[http://www.bomango.net/comics/2530881/7/ does not get treated as such]].
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: [[http://www.bomango.net/comics/2531367/the-path-revealed/67 has Gogo seem have a conversation with Pablo]] in the background.
* SplashOfColor: The comic is largely greyscale up until the 29th (wherein Pablo is his blue self, though he's the only one) and the 43rd (where Gogo sees something very red and yellow) aside from yellow or red light coming off of Gogo, and all characters' eyes (aside from Pablo's MonochromaticEyes, of course). Some parts add another single color to the scene. 66 onward puts in full color.
* SuperStrength: Gogo tears off doors and tips over garbage dumpsters with ease.
