Spirou and Fantasio/YMMV


 * Ensemble Darkhorse: The Marsupilami.
 * Canon Discontinuity:
 * Because of a strange editorial edict, Nic & Cauvin could not use Franquin's supporting cast, making their short run very easy to ignore.
 * In Alerte aux Zorkons it's implied that Fantasio went back in time and prevented the events of Morvan & Munuera's Aux Sources du Z from happening.
 * Fanon Discontinuity:
 * Morvan & Munuera tried to integrate elements from all their predecessors into their run (including Rob-Vel and Fournier), but unfortunately for them many fans wrote off the series after the departure of Tome & Janry.
 * Ho Yay: Spirou and Fantasio, obviously.
 * There are things like this picture to keep the rumors alive and kicking.
 * Taken out of context: Fantasio wakes up, apparently in the same bed as Spirou. He's covered in a whitish dripping liquid. He shouts "The condom! We forgot the condom!" (capote means both hood and condom)
 * The context: Fantasio and Spirou are sleeping in a castle ruin, two separate beds. They used pieces of tarpaulin to keep themselves from the rain, except the one above Fantasio suddenly ripped and unloaded buckets of water on him. He wakes up shouting "The hood! We forgot the hood!" (on the car, to protect it from rain)
 * Villain Decay: Arguably Zorglub, even before his Heel Face Turn. Also the whole point of Le Réveil du Z, where Zorglub's successor only manages to recreate The Theme Park Version of the original's vision.
 * Let's not forget Vito "La Déveine" Cortizone, a powerful mafia don who eventually is somehow deported through the little rural town of Champignac with nearly no security.
 * The Triangle went from "globe-spanning barely competent criminal organisation" in Du Glucose for Noémie to "half a dozen idiots who can't even operate their secret lair's traps correctly" in L'Abbaye Truquée, mainly because they lost most of their competent members in previously failed operations told between Glucose and Abbaye.
