Les Nombrils ("The Bellybuttons") is a French-Canadian series following the misadventures of long-suffering Karine and her two "friends" Vicky and Jenny. Starting off as a gag strip it quickly became a dramedy about the daily lives of the three with Karine learning to stand up for herself while Vicky and Jenny learn that there is more to life than hanging off the hunkiest boy in school.The series was introduced in 2004 in issue #188 of the Québécois humour magazine Safarir. It was later picked up in 2005 by the Franco-Belgian comics magazine, Spirou. Spirou's publisher, Dupuis, published its first BD album, Pour qui tu te prends?, in 2006.The title "Nombrils" is a play on the French term "nombriliste", which means "self-absorbed" or "self-centred".An English version of the series, with its title directly translated to "The Bellybuttons", was introduced in 2009 by British publisher Cinebook.

I Was Quite a Looker: Murphy's grandma was the Jenny of her day, but now she's an obese old woman with burnt out hair and varicose everywhere. Inverted with his grandpa, who looked just like him as a teenager and aged into one hell of a Silver Fox.

The Tease: While Jenny doesn't mind putting her money where her mouth is when it comes to boys (as long as they're at least decent-looking), Vicky is fond of promising stuff like dates and kisses and not following up. Mégane is very aware of the effect she has on Vicky and loves nothing like toying with her.

Alpha Bitch
 Les Nombrils (Comic Book) / int_22a27b19
comment
Vicky might be a pretty awful human being but realizing that her dad is a greedy jerk who raised her to believe that compassion is a hindrance, her mother being mentally abusive and pounding in her head that status is everything, and her older sister Rebecca being ten times the Alpha Bitch she is, it's not hard to see why she acts the way she does. Her trick to buy her friends' forgiveness after being awful to them is pulled directly from her mother's book, and when she actually does something thoughtful and genuine, she quickly realizes that no one would do the same for her, making her lash out in sorrow and bitterness.

Hidden Depths: Most of the characters have more to them than is apparent at first glance... the hidden depths aren't always nice, however. Explicitely discussed by Jenny and Hugo: while she saw him as just another unattractive suitor among dozens, she comes to appreciate him for his kindness, humor and thoughtfulness; meanwhile he stops seing her as only a pretty face when he sees what sort of home life she manages to return home to every night with a smile.

Chivalrous Pervert: Gary, the drummer for Albin and the Albinos, is perfectly open about at least partly having gone into music because it was a good way of scoring with a lot of girls. Unlike 90% of the male characters in the comic, though, he's amiable, respectful and, yes, even chivalrous.

Anguished Declaration of Love: Vicky does eventually admit she is in love with Megane, but also realizes she will never be happy. If she chooses Megane she will lose her family, and her affluent life, if she chooses her family she will never have true love. All because her parents are homophobic. Averted with Jenny, she realizes that she is in love with Hugo but can't bare to ruin her reputation by admitting it in public. When the opportunity presents itself, Jenny is tempted to jump into his arms but her pride wins and she ends up publically humiliating him instead.

Forced Out of the Closet: At the end of volume 7, Vicky, drunk out of her mind, gets in a public fight with Jenny about Jean-Franky's behavior, accusing the two of them of being leeches and loudly claiming that Jenny is in love with Hugo; Jenny replies by loudly claiming that Vicky is in love with Mégane after she saw the two kiss earlier. Mégane takes the blame for the kiss, and Vicky allows her parents to believe that she was assaulted by "that dirty dyke".

comment
Bittersweet Ending: After the Downer Ending of Volume 7, Volume 8 ends on a more positive note... though there's plenty of tragic or ominous elements there that keeps it from being an outright Happy Ending. After an album-long Trauma Conga Line, Jenny has recovered, Took a Level in Kindness and is a better and happier person than she ever was before, now openly dating Hugo and having repaired her friendship with Vicky. Albin and the Albinos, after a bit of struggling, have won a prestigious music awards and have become a success. At the same time, Karine is plagued by guilt for what she did to Xander, and Vicki, who just seemed ready to accept her sexuality and confess to Mégane, discovers that she insulted the girl one too many times and how her chance seems to be blown as Mégane instead got with Lara. The last we see of Vicky in the album, she's depressed and has started comfort eating again.

Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Mégane for Vicky, encouraging her to rebel against her parents' expectations for her. Albin convinces Karine to break out of her shell and try new things. He is a deconstruction of the trope, as he has a reputation of doing this to girls, and then dumping them not long afterwards to find a new girl to fix up. Karine is the 12th girl he's done this to.

Comedic Sociopathy

Jenny can be nice. A significant part of her Comedic Sociopathy appears to be the result of obliviousness and Vicky's bad influence.

Formerly Fat: Vicky used to be a very chubby kid. It's still a very sore point to her, as her family never ceases to remind her of that and keep her on a very strict diet.

Downer Ending
 Les Nombrils (Comic Book) / int_4e3d253b
comment
Downer Ending: Volume 7, dear god. Jenny realizes she really is in love with Hugo and wants to be exclusive with him, to bad this is after she publically humiliated him by rejecting his "him or me" ultimatum. Vicky finally stops denying she is in love with Megane, but then can't risk throwing away everything to be with her. Karine finds out that Albin is a chronic manipulator and that she is number 12 in his list of victims. Vicky after getting drunk and rejecting Megane decides to take her frustrations out on Jenny which leads to Jenny outing her and Megane's activities which then leads to a huge fight between Vicky and Megane's bigot parents as they try to pass blame for their "deviant" daughters.

What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?
 Les Nombrils (Comic Book) / int_5028baf2
comment
What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: Karine accuses Vicky of not knowing what it is like to fall in love. Turns out Karine was right, if not correct on the reason. Albin has very cynical views on love as a concept, believing that what people call love is only the realization of selfish desire: he claims Karine "loves" him because he's helping her grow in confidence, while he "loves" her because he likes to feel useful. At the end of the seventh volume, after his manipulations are revealed, he tells Karine that she made him see the truth and that his feelings for her as deeper than he knew... but only so she won't dump him and break the band apart.

Dream Sequence
 Les Nombrils (Comic Book) / int_615fdb1f
comment
A subtle, possibly unintentional one, but Karine's Dream Sequence in the first album where she's inexplicably turned into a total knockout but also to her horror finds herself developing a mean streak. It's never this exaggerated, but she does eventually get a makeover and discover that She Cleans Up Nicely... as well as getting a few shocking Beware the Nice Ones moments that borders on cruelty. Same dream also has Jenny as her normal self but Vicky has turned fat, hinting both of Vicky's Formerly Fat reveal and that Karine subconsciously thinks better of Jenny than she does of Vicky.

comment
Shameless Fanservice Girl: Both Vicky and Jenny, who play up their sexiness and dress in skimpy, revealing clothes for attention. We also see the tendency in both their sisters, though with VERY different results: Vicky's older sister, though, who whenever she shows up in the comic has a tendency to be just in her underwear and proudly displays as much of her body as she can get away with, is kind of like a Character Exaggeration of Vicky herself, but Jenny's younger sister Jenna is thirteen at most and her attempts at looking sexy and presenting herself as older than she is comes across more as Troubling Unchildlike Behavior.

Progressively Prettier: Karine becomes notably cuter over the course of the series, even before her radical makeover at the end of volume 4 reveals that She Cleans Up Nicely. To paraphrase Word of God, she was never ugly to being with, just awkward and unlucky in the puberty lottery of what grows at what speed.

Jerkass Has a Point
 Les Nombrils (Comic Book) / int_6b05b601
comment
Jerkass Has a Point: Murphy is one of the most repulsive people in the comic both in looks and personality, but his little speech in Volume 8 about people who aggressively judge others based solely on appearance is totally on point. It's in fact his honest The Reason You Suck speech to Jenny that makes her fully realize how badly she's treated Hugo and what she needs to do to make up for it. This moment marks the turnaround in Jenny's storyline in Volume 8, when she pulls herself out of her depressed funk and really changes for the better. The reason Jenny first fell into Vicky's Toxic Friend Influence and let her take advantage of her stupidity? Vicky was the only person in their entire middle school not to slutshame or objectify her for having won the early puberty lottery (or at least the only person not to act like an animal about it).

Trauma Conga Line: Jenny, of all people gets subjected to this in Volume 8, courtesy of Vicky. The latter sabotages her trademark appearance, making Jenny believe this will make Hugo interested in her again. Not only does Hugo gets even more upset she's missing the point of his rejection, she loses all her fanboys immediately and her family now shuns her, to the point of refusing to be seen with Jenny. Since Jenny has no friend besides Vicky and Karine, who is away with her band, she ends up incredibly isolated and miserable, so much that she is at one point seen asking Murphy for advice on Hugo.

After he leaves, the readers (though not the characters, apart from Karine) finally find out what he looked like underneath his helmet ans why he never took it off. He is in fact two people... Conjoined twins, to be presice. His twin brother is a second head stuck to the left side of his own head. After giving up on getting Karine back, Dan decides to go live with his father in New York at the end of the fifth volume.

Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Jenny's little sister Jenna wears tops with things like "sex bomb" and "Porn Star" written on them and is more interested in high school guys than boys her own age. She is only eleven or twelve. Sadly justified by the horrible condition she lives and her two inept "caretakers", forcing her to grow up too fast and become the "adult" of the household. It clear from her dialogue that the situation takes a toll on her.

Vague Age: Albin. He's out of high school, and started pulling the makeover trick at the earliest in his late teens - and Karine, who has been dating him for several months at the time of the reveal of his backstory, is the 12th girl he strings along this way. It's one of the reasons Karine's parents dislike him - notably they don't like that he would serve alcohol to "an underage girl", implying that he's not a minor himself. It's also unclear whether they're having sex, as the conversation they have about it at one point turns out to be a gag about doing chores together. It's one of the elements that make reader wonder how positive a character he really is.

Ambiguously Evil
 Les Nombrils (Comic Book) / int_853b7948
comment
Ambiguously Evil: Albin is trying to get Karine to cut off contact with her friends, a classic sign of controlling behavior, but then again her friends are Vicky and Jenny. Also it's left ambiguous whether Karine's changes in lifestyle since meeting him were really her choice or his. Albin eventually confesses that he finds shy girls and turns them into goths, but that he does it because he enjoys making weak-willed girls strong. Is Mélanie a bitch intentionally or is she a sociopath and can't help it? The fact that she was willing to poison herself in order to frame Karine seems to point more toward psychological issues. To confuse the matter further, it is shown that all of Mélanie's humanitarian projects are in an effort to alleviate the guilt she feels about her actions. Still, both might just be trying to excuse their unsavory personality traits.

Parental Favoritism: Vicky's parents have favored her older sister for years, going as far as leaving Vicky at French camp every summer where she was bullied even after losing weight and getting a makeover, and taking Rebecca with them on their extravagant vacations. Rebecca doesn't treat her well and her parents do little to deal with it. Things come to a head when their mother tries to give Rebecca a necklace she inherited after she gets into a relationship with their equally affluent neighbor's son. When it turns out that Vicky caught him on the rebound, they actually take the necklace from her and give it to Vicky, and start to spoil Vicky in ways that not even her sister enjoyed. Rebecca even breaks down when Vicky gets a car for her sweet sixteen, as she was only allowed to borrow the family car a small number of times.

Abhorrent Admirer: Most of the guys' who follow Vicky and Jenny are this but Murphy probably wins the prize for most abhorrent, by not only being covered in huge zits but for also having a rather terrible personality.

Took a Level in Jerkass
 Les Nombrils (Comic Book) / int_8cb1a369
comment
Took a Level in Jerkass: In volume 8 Vicky takes about 20. First she slowly ruins Jenny's social life by gaslighting her into thinking ruining her looks will make Hugo like her again, to make things worse ruining Jenny's reputation was only a by product of the actual goal of making her fall deep into depression, at one point even jokingly giving Jenny the number of the suicide prevention hotline. It's not just Jenny Vicky is after either, Karine's band becoming more and more famous angers her to almost the same degree, to the point she actually prays to god to ruin it, and tries to spread malicious rumors about the band to hurt their rep. The only thing that prevents Vicky from being a full on villain is that ultimately none of her plans worked, Jenny being ostracised allowed her to rethink her life and what was really important to her allowing her to finally be able to see what Hugo was mad about and really apologize, while Karine's band managed to whether the storm of its first album release and become even more successful.

Asshole Victim
 Les Nombrils (Comic Book) / int_8ed5c6e4
comment
Asshole Victim: Xander. At the end of Volume 8, Karine chooses to leave the weed from Gary's coat in his car, and calls the cops on him. Yes, Xander was kind of a douche and was milking his brother's death for publicity with a very moving, completely fake song (he hated his half-brother and had originally written the song long ago about his dog), but was it really enough to justify ruining his career and giving him a police record? That said, weed or not, he was drunk when he drove off, and that was his own choice. However, Karine's motive was not so much protecting other drivers, as it was to get his band out of the competition to win an award.

Laser-Guided Karma: Being robbed of all their fortune by a trusted associate would normally be an awful fate, except that Vicky's family were absolutely rotten, elitist, uncaring, outright abusive people swearing only by money, status and prestige, who raised not one repulsive Alpha Bitch but two. Poverty is the worst thing that could happen to them, and few would empathise.

Heel Realization: Repeatedly parodied and subverted with Jenny, who every so often realizes that she's behaved badly and tries to make amends... only to to reveal that she totally misunderstood exactly what she did wrong and why it was wrong, so attempts at making amends end up not even addressing the issue or even making things worse. And then finally played straight towards the end of Volume 8. It took an album-long Trauma Conga Line of Break the Haughty, and a The Reason You Suck speech from Murphy, of all people, but she finally comes around to realizing just what a terrible person she's been, especially towards Hugo, and truly changes for the better. Vicky can, very rarely, admit how she likes her friends and how screwed up she is, but Aesop Amnesia literally has her name written on it.

Interclass Friendship: Vicky's parents are very wealthy, Karine's are lower middle class, and Jenny lives in a slum with her unemployed, semi-catatonic single mom and two younger siblings. It eventually becomes a problem when Vicky starts feeling like Jenny is only pretending to be her friend to get cash out of her.

Foreshadowing
 Les Nombrils (Comic Book) / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: A subtle, possibly unintentional one, but Karine's Dream Sequence in the first album where she's inexplicably turned into a total knockout but also to her horror finds herself developing a mean streak. It's never this exaggerated, but she does eventually get a makeover and discover that She Cleans Up Nicely... as well as getting a few shocking Beware the Nice Ones moments that borders on cruelty. Same dream also has Jenny as her normal self but Vicky has turned fat, hinting both of Vicky's Formerly Fat reveal and that Karine subconsciously thinks better of Jenny than she does of Vicky. John John sometimes seems to contradict himself or have problems making up his mind... Come the end of the third album, we find out why. He's conjoined twins. The smaller voice that sometimes pipied up, sometimes with a different opinion, was in fact his twin brother. In volume 6, Mégane sure is eager to get Vicky into her bedroom and gets noticeably jealous when Vicky shows interest in her brother. Vicky always seemed uncomfortable when the topic of her kissing (or doing other stuff to) guys was involved, even when she was the one who started the topic to tease someone. Besides, she fell from a roof to avoid kissing a guy (although it was Murphy, so it may not count). She's gay. In addition, it seemed that she had never actually kissed a boy until Megane and her brother James, always shoving it on Jenny. The identity of Willy's father is heavily hinted at until The Reveal at the end of the seventh book. Vicky's issues with her weight and relationtionship with food are peppered here and there throughout the series. At the end of volume 8, broken-hearted, she completely gives in to her tendency to eat her feelings and puts on a significant amount of weight. When Vicky tries to convince Lara to replace Jenny as her hot friend, Lara specifically says okay because she thinks Vicky is hot, this ends up foreshadowing that Lara is bisexual and will get with anyone as long as they are high enough on the social latter.

Bare Midriffs Are Feminine
 Les Nombrils (Comic Book) / int_b2ed4736
comment
Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: An interesting case. True to the title, most of the outfits the three protagonists wear show their bellybuttons, though as they go through Character Development they start to cover up more. It's most noticable with Butt-Monkey Karine, after getting a Goth type makeover and learning to stand up for herself, pretty much stops baring her midriff, but it's also very clear with Brainless Beauty Jenny, who after an album-long Humiliation Conga has forced her to face some unpleasant truths about herself, adopts an entirely new style that signifies that she's matured and become a better person — the introduction of her "new look" late in album 8 is the first time in the comic where she doesn't bare her midriff. As of the end of album 8, only Vicky (who tragically starts Character Development but regresses) still bares her midriff.

It's All About Me: The title refers to both exposed midriffs and this, "le nombril du monde" being a French expression for people thinking everything is about them (as if they are the bellybutton of the world). Jenny and Vicky are the epitome of total self-centered behaviour, albeit in slightly different ways: Jenny is just too narcissistic and oblivious to realize that she isn't the center of everyone's world, while Vicky gets jealous and malicious as soon as anyone takes attention away from her.

Nice, Mean, and In-Between
 Les Nombrils (Comic Book) / int_c1cef253
comment
Nice Mean And In Between: Extreme Doormat Karine is Nice, Alpha Bitch Vicky is Mean and Innocently Insensitive Jenny is In-Between. Vicky does have her nice moments and Karine (especially post-Character Development) could be the poster child for Beware the Nice Ones, but the dynamic is pretty prominent for most of the comic.

Irony: Vicky's vengeance towards Jenny for the events in Volume 7, involves sabotaging Jenny's appearance, causing her to not only lose her social status at school,but become shunned by her own image-obsessed family. This, however, ends up causing Jenny to undergo Character Development , culminating in her public confession to Hugo, leading to her becoming a happier and better person than she ever was.

Freudian Excuse
 Les Nombrils (Comic Book) / int_c868a42a
comment
Freudian Excuse: Vicky might be a pretty awful human being but realizing that her dad is a greedy jerk who raised her to believe that compassion is a hindrance, her mother being mentally abusive and pounding in her head that status is everything, and her older sister Rebecca being ten times the Alpha Bitch she is, it's not hard to see why she acts the way she does. Her trick to buy her friends' forgiveness after being awful to them is pulled directly from her mother's book, and when she actually does something thoughtful and genuine, she quickly realizes that no one would do the same for her, making her lash out in sorrow and bitterness. Jenny gets her image obsessed attitude from her alcoholic mother, who slams the door in the face of Hugo, her average looking boyfriend, while stating she could do better. This is right after she gave a speech to Jenny about liking whoever she brought home.

Spoiled Brat: Both Vicky and her sister count, but her sister is far worse. They're both very materialistic due to their affluent upbringing, but for many summers Vicky was dropped off at French camp while her sister got to join their parents on vacations to exotic locales. When Vicky manages to earn their favor for a change, even getting a car for her sweet sixteen, her sister actually breaks down crying simply because she was only allowed to borrow the family car a few times when she first started driving.

Writers Cannot Do Math: The climax of Volume 7 takes place at Vicky's Sweet Sixteen. In Volume 5, Karine mentions that it took her five years to realize how toxic Vicky was after they met in middle school - which, even assuming that Vicky is by far the youngest of the trio, would make them very precocious eleven-year-olds. Meanwhile, the prequel spin off establishes that Jenny and Vicky met when they were twelve, at least a couple of years before Vicky and Karine met, which does fit the art better.

Her pursuits were either to increase her own social status or to steal men away from Jenny and/or Karine to lower theirs. She also never showed the level of attraction she shows for Megane for any guy.

Divergent Character Evolution: For much of the first book, Vicky and Jenny are interchangeable, being equally mean and manipulative. Towards the end of the book we start seeing a difference between them, with Jenny's Brainless Beauty traits played up a lot more and her maliciousness heavily toned down. In subsequent albums she is pretty consistently portrayed as an Innocently Insensitive Ditz who generally just follows Vicky's lead.

Beware the Nice Ones

comment
Hugo is probably the most genuinely nice person in the comic, though there's a limit to how far you can push him.

With Friends Like These...: Vicky, and to an extent Jenny towards Karine.

Dark and Troubled Past
 Les Nombrils (Comic Book) / int_fed93e1b
comment
Dark and Troubled Past: All the members of Albin and the Albinos have this to some extent, as the band consists of people who have been victims in the past: Albin was bullied for his albinism, and a prank on him lead to a horrible housefire that killed twelve of his classmates and left Vinko disfigured. Red was once assaulted and left for dead by homophobes. Only Gary's past remains a Noodle Incident.

comment
Innocently Insensitive: Most of Jenny's more mean-spirited moments are a result of this. Unlike the far smarter and more cynical Vicky, Jenny isn't actually malicious, just very stupid and narcissistic. Usually she doesn't even realize when she's being a terrible person.
