->'''Baritarian Boy - Exploring the Culture and History of Baritaria'''
''[[http://baritarianboy.thecomicseries.com/ Baritarian Boy]]'' is a webcomic created by married couple Fyodor Pavlov and Lawrence Gullo. As the title and subtitle would indicate, it's less of a straightforward slice of life comic, but an exploration of the (fictional) country, a small island nation in the Black Sea. The story follows two contemporary young men -- Havel, a Baritarian musician turned tour guide, and Felix, a Russian art student - and the discovery of several "missing" paintings illustrating near-mythical incidents from Baritaria's history. Gullo and Pavlov alternate illustrating chapters, the comic updates on Mondays, and [[http://baritarianboy.thecomicseries.com/blogarchive/6995 a dead-tree edition of the story so far (plus an entirely new story) is now for sale.]]
----
!!This webcomic provides examples of:
* AuthorAppeal: The comic's subject matter and queer characters would come as ''no'' surprise to anyone familiar with the creators' other artwork. Pavlov also states he's a monarchist, hence why the political history of Baritaria and its kings and queens make up a significant portion of its subject matter.
* ChildhoodFriends: Annibale and Valliet I. [[spoiler:Leading into a ChildhoodFriendRomance.]]
* DancesAndBalls: [[http://baritarianboy.thecomicseries.com/comics/29 Valliet I attends a masque while in Venice,]] [[spoiler:the site of an attempted assassination.]]
* DarkMistress: Queen Zsu Zsa's consort [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnq13u1U1I1qkycczo1_500.jpg looks like this]]. That is all.
* DeadlyDecadentCourt: Not of the royal variety, but the London Monster's Club featured in the second section is plenty Decadent (in the literary and artistic sense) and populated by artificially constructed humans, occultists, le Comte de St. Germain, individuals who appear to personify the Seven Deadly Sins...
* EverythingsWorseWithWolves: [[http://baritarianboy.thecomicseries.com/comics/9 King Valliet's hunting expedition]] to dispatch a pack of wolves preying on a Baritarian village.
* TheExile: King Valliet III [[RoyalFugitive spent his life in exile in Europe.]] His closest friends are similarly escaping Russian nobility.
* FictionalCounterpart: Baritaria is this, in some ways, to Russia and wherever the hell Pavlov and Gullo feel like drawing inspiration from.
* GagPenis: [[http://baritarianboy.thecomicseries.com/comics/35 "How do you fit that thing in your pants?"]] "I manage. Wearing no underwear helps." "...lucky me."
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: While it's not clear yet if Queen Zsu Zsa is ''evil'', her consort has been described as Baritaria's equivalent of Vlad the Impaler.
* ImpoverishedPatrician: King Valliet III, living in exile as a gossip columnist. He is narcoleptic and has difficulty remembering some of the fancy parties he's invited to, forcing him to make up scandalous details.
* TheLancer: [[YaoiGuys Annibale for King Valliet.]] He risks his life for the Queen's safety and (indirectly) for his country, and is wounded in the process. Not quite TheChampion, but still devoted. [[spoiler:It becomes plain he's wholly willing to kill in Valliet's defense.]]
* NarrativeFiligree: It would be possible to tell the story of a fictional nation, or at least two young men living in one, without going into the level of exquisite detail that Gullo and Pavlov do. But [[DoingItForTheArt what fun would that be?]]
* PunnyName: Baritaria's capitol (where the art institute that Felix Sokolov attends is located) is called Stendhalstadt. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stendhal_syndrome Stendhal syndrome]] is a condition which causes people to faint from viewing extremely beautiful works of art.
* RunningGag: The series is too brief to tell now, but Havel seems to enjoy the word "sexy".
* {{Ruritania}}: Baritaria itself, though it's ''much'' more a love letter to Slavic and European culture long past than it is a dark and dreary dead end.
* Sexless Marriage: Combined with SettledForGay, though it's clear the two do deeply care for one another, in Ella and Alexei's marriage.
* SexyDiscretionShot: spoiler: When Havel and Felix [[SexySilhouette have sex]], though the silhouettes aren't hiding terribly much.
* SheIsTheKing: Queen Zsu Zsa prefers male garb, in what feels like a shout-out to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina,_Queen_of_Sweden Queen Christina.]]
* ShownTheirWork: The amount of research put in by both authors shows, though at this point it's more like the culmination of their mutual interests.
* [[OurPresidentsAreDifferent Our Prime Ministers Are Different]]: The current Prime Minister ''is'' the King.
* {{Homage}}: If one can be said to homage historical events. No one's outright a direct {{expy}} of any other historical figure, but there's plenty of allusions.
