History ComicStrip / BeauPeep

Characters from outside the fort include the Nomad, an IneffectualSympatheticVillain who wants to bring the head of a Legionnaire back to his village so they'll forgive his crimes, Honest Adbul, an HonestJohn who sells junk to gullible fools like Dennis and the Nomad, and Vera of the Seven Veils, an exotic BellyDancer Dennis has a crush on, who frequently punches him in the mouth.

* BellyDancer: Vera can definitely fall under this trope, as she does perform a "dance of the Seven Veils" whenever she's in town.

Minor Legionnaires include Hamish, who is a Scottish stereotype, but beyond that is quite reasonable and the only character Peep feels he can actually have a sensible conversation with (even if he can't always understand it), and Sergeant Slaughter, a terrifying DrillSergeantNasty.

''Beau Peep'' is a British comic strip written by Roger Kettle, drawn by Andrew Christie and published in the ''[[UsefulNotes/BritishNewspapers Daily Star]]'' since 1978. It is about Beau Peep, who joined the French Foreign Legion to escape from his terrifying fiancée Doris, and quickly discovered that not only is he totally unsuited for the LegionOfLostSouls, he was the OnlySaneMan in a fort full of lunatics.

The same writer/artist combo also created ''ComicStrip/AManCalledHorace'', which ran for 26 years in the ''Daily Mirror'' (1989-2015).

* OhCrap: In one strip, Egon loses his patience at Beau's constant complaints about his cooking, decides to throw a cake at him/ Hearing his name called, Egon chucks the cake...then has this reaction when he realises that he's just hit Sergeant Bidet.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: While the very first strip has Beau mention that he joined the Foreign Legion to get away from a woman, the woman in question is portrayed as slender and beautiful, rather than ugly and fat. WordOfGod is that the first stripe was simply the first idea that came into his head when he created the strip - after the woman Beau left behind evolved into Doris, Kettle ignored the first strip completely.

Contains examples of:

-->'''Egon''':Have you ever heard of minestrone? A delicate blend of Italian herbs and spices. But it takes ages, this is turnip water.

* AlterEgo: Realising that no-one takes him seriously, the Nomad occasionally takes the identity of the Desert Shadow.

* PunnyName: Peep's name is a takeoff of ''Literature/BeauGeste'' and "[[Literature/NurseryRhymes Little Bo Peep]]". Sopwith the camel is a pun on the Sopwith Camel aeroplane.

* HonestJohnsDealership: Honest Abdul, who sells whatever random junk he can find to the Nomad and Dennis by telling them BlatentLies (for example, that a rubber duck is an enemy detector).

* VillianOutShopping: Sergeant Bidet calls the Desert Shadow a ruthless bloodthirsty killer. Cut to the Nomad gloating over a bag of sweeties.

* TheAlcoholic: Egon's recipes get even more erratic if they involve cooking sherry. Hamish also like this, and it's implied this is the origin of the Scottish accent.
