Kid Paddle (Comic Book) | comment |
Kid Paddle is a Franco-Belgian comic by Midam (Michel Ledent) about ten-year-old fan of Video Games, films and general two-dimensional violence, the titular character Kid Paddle. Most of the one-page gags focus on the natural hostility between Kid and his Dad, Kid and his sister Carole, Kid and his Sadist Teacher, Kid and the grumpy arcade owner or Kid and the game he's playing at the moment.It got a spinoff named Game Over focusing on The Many Deaths of You starring the Little Barbarian, the much-abused protagonist of Kid's games.It also got a Belgian-French-Canadian animated series produced by now-defunct Quebec animation studio Spectra Animation (Fred's Head, Toopy and Binoo), which aired on Teletoon for 2 seasons and 52 episodes from 2003 to 2006. | |

Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Kid views his dad like this mostly because he is lamer than his overexpectations of him. There is however one gag where his dad will be caught in a really awkward situation when Carol's friend moves in which actually make Kid appreciate his dad more. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: Poor Horace often finds himself on the receiving end of this trope. Apparently, in Kid's world, fully-grown adults have no problem beating up a little kid so hard he ends up in the hospital with multiple fractures over the slightest (and, usually, unintentional) offense. | |

Kid Paddle (Comic Book) / int_5f9fbd83 | comment |
Not Allowed to Grow Up: Kid and the other children, despite the series going through several generations of consoles. Early strips had Kid play on cartridge-fed consoles, and one strip shows a blocky early 3D prototype game as something revolutionary. Doubles as an example of Unintentional Period Piece, with the earlier strips clearly grounding the comic in the first half of the '90s. | |

Nintendo Hard: The Little Barbarian game series, which has its own spin-off comic called Game Over. The game is vicious, full of Kaizo Trap, sometimes plain unwinnable (as in it constantly loops back), and one of the final boss has a two-minute timer on the pause button, which is the time it takes to pause the game and look out the long-winded explanation in the booklet on how to beat him. | |

Hated by All: Kid when he plays a SimCity expy. Not surprising given the fact that he put barbed wire around the city so no-one can leave it, uses the bodies of citizens killed in riots to measure the radioactivity levels of the leaks from the town's nuclear reactor and raised taxes to 100% to pay for the police he needs to oppress the population. Not surprisingly, when asked what the biggest problem is, 100% of the people say "The mayor!" His own sister thinks this the most disturbing thing he's ever done in a video game, and asks him to go back to the Ultra Super Death Gore Fest Chainsawer 3000. | |

The Many Deaths of You: Game Over (as the name implies) is entirely focused on the many, MANY ways in which the Little Barbarian and/or the Princess get mangled in horrible ways. A common gag is that after saving the princess the barbarian will either do something gross or look perverted which ends with the princess killing him. | |

Orwellian Retcon: In the first edition of the first comic, there's a strip where Kid's mother tells her husband that he's going to be late for work while she is offscreen. This is the only time Kid and Carole's mother is alluded to. In later editions of the book, the dialogue is modified so "honey" is replaced by "dad", meaning this is now Kid's sister talking instead of his mother. As a result, there is no more indication that Kid and Carole have a mother. | |

Hollywood Board Games: Kid and Carole have a Sibling Yin-Yang dynamic. He loathes school and, while not particularly dumb, she's smarter than him and genuinely likes to learn new things. When they are playing Scrabble, Carole is winning with some ease. Kid hates to lose, so he invents a Perfectly Cromulent Word to try and score more points. | |

Artistic License – Sports: While Kid and Big Bang are playing a special chess game where the pieces are made of chocolate, Big Bang somehow takes both of Kid's rooks in one move. Taking multiple opponent pieces in a single move is normally impossible due to how chess works. And it's never indicated that their chocolate chess game is played differently, aside from the fact that you must eat the opponent's piece when you take them. | |

Sliding Scale of Parent-Shaming in Fiction: Kid's father rarely reaches type 2, but they are so different that he often disagrees with him and sometimes thinks that he qualifies for Amazingly Embarrassing Parents. | |

Shown Their Work: While when it comes to a choice between accurately portraying video games and making a good joke the second option is chosen, this comic gets quite a few things right, even if exaggerated for comedic effect, such as the Nintendo Hard nature of early gaming, and the tendency of many SimCity players to turn every city they make into a dystopian police state. | |
