Kayko and Kokoshnote Kajko i Kokosz in Polish, sounds the same is a long running comic book series staring a pair of titular characters, created by the Polish cartoonist Janusz Christa in 1972. Living in medieval Poland (or at least some vague Slavic country), the short, clever Kayko and the muscled, rather simple-minded Kokosz are warriors who protect the fortified village of Mirmiłowo from various threats, including the recurring schemes of a band of knight-themed brigands, appropriately called the robber knights.note Localized in the animated adaptation as "knaveknights"; the original word, zbójcerze, is a clever portmanteau of "knight" and "thug"The duo itself is essentially the medieval version of Christa's older characters, modern sailor adventurers Kajtek and Koko, created in 1958. The characters star in both full-length "albums", and in a couple of shorter stories.If you think that the premise sounds familiar, you're right; Christa himself admitted in late interviews that he was greatly inspired by (some would say, he had ripped off) Asterix. On the other hand, Kajtek (the short, resourceful guy) debuted on his own before Asterix. Regardless, the comics enjoy an enduring popularity in Poland and keep seeing re-releases. There was a spin-off series after the creator's death with short stories focusing on different characters from Christa's universe, and official new books by Sławomir Kiełbus and Maciej Kur (as well short stories by other creators) continuing the series appeared in 2019. In 2020 the series was published in Denmark, marking its first foreign release.There were also a couple of video game adaptations (some not very well received), a theatrical play, and a short CGI animated movie based on the comics (universally hated). In 2021 an animated series debuted on Netflix - making it the first Polish animated Netflix original production. A stage musical based on the book "The Flying School" debuted in the same year.

Hurricane of Puns
 Kayko & Kokosh (Comic Book) / int_2937826d
comment
Hurricane of Puns: Common in Kur scripts. One example is when Hegemon loses his trademark anger and goes to a psychiatrist (who works double shifts as an executioner, being an "expert of head issues" and all). Each method to cure him is a literal visual pun on some Polish term or idiom related to making someone angry.

Never Recycle Your Schemes: Inverted. The villain Hegemon likes to reuse a simple plan of capturing the heroes' village: build a siege tower and use it to get his soldiers over the village wall. The trope is played straight with the heroes who will use a different method every time they have to foil his plan.

Minion with an F in Evil: Zaćmica, the sister and minion of Zmierzchnica, is an even worse example than Oferma above. She is cheerful, friendly, and non-judgmental. The only reason why she works for her evil sister is simply due to the fact that she is not very bright and seam to lack judgment about what's going on.

Pair the Dumb Ones
 Kayko & Kokosh (Comic Book) / int_464ceda5
comment
Pair the Dumb Ones: The not very bright Zaćmica falls in love with Oferma literally because the idea that someone is just as stupid as she is makes her heart beat faster. She spends the entire book flirting with him and pouring her heart out, while Oferma acts pretty blasé about the entire situation. While played for laughs due to the child-like nature of Zmiećnica, who honestly believes Oferma is returning her feelings, the scenario comes off as compelling and charming. Kiełbus, the new artist of the series, even created some fan-service drawing of them about to share a kiss.

"Scooby-Doo" Hoax: Barnaba and his gang tried to pull one on Kajko, Kokosz and Wit in "Szranki i Konkury" by trying to fool the heroes into thinking that the village they visited was haunted in order to scare them away, as the town served as the gang's hideout. One of Barnaba's goons even pretended to be Utopiec (a monster from Slavic mythology). The villains return to this gimmick in spin-off stories about Miluś the dragon.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Kayko & Kokosh (Comic Book) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: In the first story, "The Golden Chalice" Jaga was known as Zielacha, and looked like an ugly old hag before making herself young again through magic in later volumes. When introduced, she also appeared to be more of a clever con artist than a real witch. Mirmił was called a duke, not a castellan and had different hairdo. A Christian missionary, father Placid, appeared in the first story as a resident of Mirmiłowo. He's nowhere to be seen in later volumes. The robber knights, the iconic antagonists, don't show up until the fourth story, "Flying School". In fact, the villains in the first story, The Knights of the Black Triangle, are so similar to the brigands that some fans tend to confuse the two, or theorise they are meant to be the same characters. In the first story, the inhabitants of Mirmiłowo moved their houses into a castle courtyard, while Mirmił and Lubawa moved into the stone castle proper. They seem to live in the same castle in book two and three. They then return to living in a village and wooden house, respectively, in volume four, with the castle never addressed again.

Women Are Wiser
 Kayko & Kokosh (Comic Book) / int_565106b3
comment
Women Are Wiser: there are only two female characters in the series, but they are both this. Jaga is the wisest person around, even more so than Kajko, and Lubawa - while more of a comical character (since she's a large housewife stereotype) - is also usually the voice of reason, putting her much more emotional husband in check. In fact, the only woman in the original series that can be described as foolish, Fochna, is a one-shot character, and she ends the story in a very advantageous marriage and an implied position of power.

Your Costume Needs Work: One short story ("Professor Stokrotek") has both heroes transported to present day where they stumble onto a movie set of a historical drama film about their adventures.

The Bus Came Back
 Kayko & Kokosh (Comic Book) / int_927b2f11
comment
The Bus Came Back: Wojmił, who only appeared in the second and third of Christa's stories, returns in the new series and pretty much becomes a recurring character. He gets much more screen time hanging out with his brother Mirmił, and interacting with his sister-in-law Lubava, something that wasn't explored much in the original. One story focuses on Wit looking for a mysterious "love of his life." It turns out he was actually looking for his faithful horse, who vanished from the series in the middle of the book "On Holidays." The writer used misleading phrasing to trick other characters, as well as the readers, into thinking that Wit was talking about a girl from years ago. Given that Wit's horse is a fanfavorite character, the twist was a very welcome suprise. As stated above in Early-Installment Weirdness, the Christian missionary Father Placid vanished quickly from the series, leaving the village of Mirmiłville openly pagan. He makes a brief appearance in a new book where he appears to perform a wedding, and his absence becomes justified by a brief mention that he lives in a smaller village next to Mirmiłville (whether this is meant to imply he moved there or always lived there and only visited Mirmiłvile is up to the readers' interpretation).

 Kayko & Kokosh (Comic Book) / int_ad7751ee
comment
Outhumbling Each Other: In "Na Wczasach", Lubawa and Mirmił let Kayko and Kokosh decide who is more deserving of a vacation. Kayko says that Kokosh is more deserving, then the latter tells the former he has accomplished more, to which he insists that he still deserves a reward. Eventually, they start arguing and have to rely on luck.

Mismeasurement

comment
Mismeasurement: In one comic, the robber knights would construct a siege tower to get over the town wall, but at night the heroes would sneak into the knights' encampment and alter the plans just enough to foil the plan. Since the knights were too stupid to recheck the measurements they would end up with a ramp that was too short or too long. Hilarity Ensued.

comment
Berserk Button: While in the original series, Wojmił was exceptionally honorable and was outraged to do things against his code (lie, etc.), the newer books play it up more for over-the-top comedy. When Wojmił finds himself in jail with Mirmił, who confesses that he violated his solemn word of honor given to his wife, Wojmił erupts in anger. He breaks his chains and escapes from prison in a matter of seconds, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. His sole purpose is to do the honorable thing by revealing the truth to Lubava, and no force on earth can stop him without suffering his wrath.

Siblings in Crime: One story features Wit facing a team of tough triplets bandit girls - Bogna, Czechna and Kachna - who specialize in ambushing people in the woods. The Sisters want to force Wit into marriage, but after he escapes, claiming he is searching for his 'one and true love,' the trio wants to find her first (and presumably kill her) as their revenge for feeling rejected Zmierzchinca and her sister Zaćmica.

One story focuses on Wit looking for a mysterious "love of his life." It turns out he was actually looking for his faithful horse, who vanished from the series in the middle of the book "On Holidays." The writer used misleading phrasing to trick other characters, as well as the readers, into thinking that Wit was talking about a girl from years ago. Given that Wit's horse is a fanfavorite character, the twist was a very welcome suprise.

Shout-Out: In "The Twilight Eclipse" one large panel of all characters fighting spoofs the iconic Polish painting "Battle of Grunwald" (by Jan Matejko) with everyone taking poses of difrent characters in the painting. One exeption is character Mirmil who take pose of Stańczyk from the paiting "Prussian Homage" (also by Matejko). The irony is pointed out by Mirmil's line "I feel like I dont fit here". In the same book there are several quotes from Polish play "Zemsta" by Aleksander Fredro. Father Placid quotes Pope Francis.

In the first story, "The Golden Chalice" Jaga was known as Zielacha, and looked like an ugly old hag before making herself young again through magic in later volumes. When introduced, she also appeared to be more of a clever con artist than a real witch.

Flying Broomstick: Jaga flies on one, as one'd expect from a witch. In a twist, it's not the broom itself that's magical, it's the ointment applied to it that allows it to fly. Put it on anything else, like, say, a large log, and it'll float alright — though it'll use more of the ointment in comparison.

Horror Hunger: Well, more of a "horror thirst". In the book "Cudowny Lek" ("The Miracle Cure") there is a magic cursed water that makes anybody who drinks it addicted. This leads to one of darkest moments in the series, when Kokosz drinks some of it and, losing his memory, he joins a cult of people doomed for eternity to walk in circle to take a sip of the water.

Kajko decides that he and his friend will also vie for Kochna's hand, making the other duo quickly send them back to Mirmił to reduce competition. Kajko lampshades that this was the only way to end this story for good.

Expy: As stated above, the main duo mirrors the duo of Asterix. Łamignat (translated in the animated series as "Breakbone") appears to be a parody of the legendary Polish highwayman, Janosik. The somewhat Germanic robber knights might be considered a twofold case, as they seem to be a stand-in for The Teutonic Knights or a more generic group of invading Germans on one hand, and for the Gauls' Roman foes on the other.

Flanderization: Wit the knight, appears to get this every time he returns (not counting silent cameos in the crowd scenes): In his first appearance, while very much a romantic and poet, Wit is still a noble and competent knight, even if a tad silly at times. In his second appearance he's turned into Don Quixotish Small Name, Big Ego loon who constantly challenges every person he meets to a fight, sings love poems to women he is "yet to meet" and spends most of the story getting Kajko and Kokosz into trouble. In his third and final appearance, Wit talks in rhyme all the time and basically becomes village's Mad Scientist, blowing up houses with gunpowder he invented and demanding reward for it.
