* ChristmasCake: Ariana can't be more than 30, but she's considered a spinster by the standards of the time; Luther initially calls her by "frau" instead of "fräulein", assuming she must be married at her age.

* SkunkStripe: Dark-haired Lucien has a thin streak of gray at his left temple (which according to ''Webcomic/BiteMe'', is [[spoiler:the result of being LockedIntoStrangeness]]).

On hiatus as of June 2017.

* DeanBitterman: Averted in that while the cast page describes him as "bitter," Rector Nolte seems have taken a liking for Luther; though it has been implied that you don't want to get on his bad side.

** As explained in the [=FAQs=], this is in part TheArtifact from ''Webcomic/BiteMe''. Luther had a long nose in that comic too, but it wasn't really because he was Jewish [[spoiler: it was because he was a werewolf]].

* StunnedSilence: Well, that is the natural reaction for an 18th century for a rector and theology professor, even in a university out in the wilderness as it were, when [[http://www.lutherlevy.com/?p=90 you say your the topic of your dissertaion was ''Spinoza''!]]

* {{Adorkable}}: Luther

Despise of the title, it has nothing to do with [[FamilyMan this trope]]. Not to be confused with ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: Luther featured as a supporting character in the author's earlier webcomic ''Webcomic/BiteMe'' (set 24 years after this one and in a somewhat alternate universe), in which he was [[spoiler:a werewolf]].
** And starring in ''Webcomic/BiteMe'', of course, was Lucien de St. Yves, who -- as anyone who's read the former knows, but as has only been hinted at in ''Family Man'' -- is [[spoiler: a vampire]].

Read it [[http://www.lutherlevy.com/ here]]. Comes complete with its very own notes section, in which the author recounts all the cool research she did in order to make everything historically accurate. The entire comic, in terms of art and writing, is not only beautifully done, but extremely accurate to the place and period. Lovers of history and fantasy should be pleased. See also the earlier, AlternateContinuity comic ''Webcomic/BiteMe'' by the same author, which also features Luther and Lucien.[[spoiler: And spoilers!!!]]

''FamilyMan'' is the story of Luther Levy, a Pietist by upbringing, half-Jew by heritage, and possible atheist by belief, living in what is now Germany in 1768. After alienating his wealthy patroness and being expelled from university for daring to turn in a paper essentially asserting that everything most people believe about God is false, Luther has little choice but to accept an acquaintance's offer of a job as a theology lecturer in an obscure university [[strike: halfway to the Urals]] in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravia Moravia]]. But all is not as it seems at Familienwald University, not least between the troubled rector and his enigmatic librarian daughter.

** And starring in ''Webcomic/BiteMe'', of course, was Lucien de St. Yves, who -- as anyone who's read the former knows, but as has only been hinted at in ''FamilyMan'' -- is [[spoiler: a vampire]].
