| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) | comment |
Lucky Luke is a Franco-Belgian Western comic book series created in 1946 by Belgian graphic artist Morris, who at first did both art and writing. It began as a semi-serious comic with a rugged cowboy hero, lots of gunplay and occasional almost-onscreen deaths. Then, from 1955 to 1977, the writing was taken over by Asterix co-creator René Goscinny and the comic turned into an unabashed Affectionate Parody of the whole western genre. Around the same time, the authors dropped all pretense of portraying the protagonist as a realistic cowboy and turned him into a Drifter/Gunslinger type whose fame and skill often made him the US Government's last resort when it came to particularly tricky situations (much to his annoyance).One of the main points of the series is the number of historical characters Luke regularly meets and who most of the time take center stage in the story. Over the years they have included Judge Roy Bean (who owns a bar and acts as self-appointed "judge", complete with fake court proceedings, to extort money from locals... and turns out to be harmless, helping Luke against the actual Big Bad), Billy the Kid (portrayed as an actual, annoying Bratty Half-Pint whose defeat consists of a good spanking), Jesse James's gang (with Jesse parodied as a delusional Robin Hood fan and Frank as a Shakespeare-quoting pseudo-intellectual), Calamity Jane (with whom Lucky Luke developed a very sweet friendship), Mark Twain, and Wyatt Earp, among others.The most iconic characters of the series, though, aren't historical characters but the fictional cousins of historical characters. After Morris had Luke fight the real Dalton Brothers and showed their deaths on the page, Goscinny found this way to bring back a similar group of baddies, since the original Daltons' regularly descending sizes and identical ugly mugs made for lots of fun potential — and boy, did it work. At first, the Dalton cousins were hopeless bandit wannabes impressed by the fame of their relatives, but they quickly became feared outlaws in their own right in-story, while in the real world (in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Quebec anyway) they completely outshone their real-world counterparts.Lucky Luke also gave us Rantanplan ("Rin Tin Can" in some English translations; "Bushwhack" in English dubbed 1980s animated series, and "Rintindumb" in the English dubs of newer animated projects), a Rin Tin Tin parody and the stupidest dog in the world. With the hero's extra-smart horse Jolly Jumper, that's about it for the recurring characters, since Lucky Luke's wanderings took him to a different place each time. However, many character archetypes (the mayor, the sheriff, the undertaker, the saloon owner, the Chinese launderer...) are so similar from one town to another that they practically function as recurring characters and walking running gags.After Goscinny's death, lots of writers took over penning the stories. After Morris passed away, Achdé took charge of the art, restricting himself to strict Morris imitation because his style was so particular. 2016 saw the beginning of a line of Homage issues by guest artists and writers. These stories have never been considered Canon in the first place, so the writers have much more liberties as long as they don't deviate too much from the mainline stories. Artists may also draw the comics in or closer to their own style. The first at this is Matthieu Bonhomme, who's created two Darker and Edgier stories.As the series has been so successful for over fifty years, it has also known several Animated Adaptations, both with stories directly adapted from the comics and with original stories. The first two such adaptations, the animated films Daisy Town (1971) and Ballad of the Daltons (1978), were directed and written by Goscinny himself. The 1983/1991 Lucky Luke animated series mainly adapted the Goscinny canon plus the stories made after Goscinny's passing until 1988. The New Adventures of Lucky Luke inaugurated a new era of original stories not based off the comics as well as spinoffs.There are also three live action adaptations: 1991's Lucky Luke starring Terence Hill (which spawned a series, too), 2004's Lucky Luke and the Daltons centered on the Dalton brothers starring French comedy duo Eric Judor & Ramzy Bedia and Til Schweiger, and 2009's Lucky Luke, starring Jean Dujardin.English translations were fairly rare and obscure, but thankfully British-based publishing firm Cinebook has to date published about 40 albums, with even more translations on the way. An English version of the animated series from 1983 exists, but was never shown in the United States, despite being co-produced by Hanna-Barbera (although a direct-to-video compilation of the first two episodes was released on VHS in the late 1990s). | |

Dirty Coward | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_1235f055 | comment |
Dirty Coward: More than a few supposedly innocent civilians reveal themselves to be this and turn on Luke at first chance. A particularly foul example were the citizens of a town that was ransacked by the Daltons during their first escape and who decided to vent their frustration by hanging Luke without any proof that he was a member of the Dalton Gang because life's no fun if they only kill guilty people. Luke turns the tables on them by claiming that if he is a member of the gang then they'll be screwed once the Daltons learn about their accomplice's execution. Of note are also the Sheriff and the bartender in Emperor Smith who once the titular lunatic takes over, aren't content with merely sucking up to him and go along with his delusions but also start blaming Lucky Luke for the opposition in order to get points. | |

Creepy Mortician: Undertakers, morticians and gravediggers are recurring characters in this comic strip, usually using formol as perfume, having vultures as pets and already coming to take measurements for the coffins before the cowboys are actually shot dead. The most recurring undertaker named Matthias Bones has a pale skin color. | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_1467a30c | comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: all over the place for the sake of plot (if any), in the GBC title "Desperado Train". For a noteworthy example, you get to play as Rantanplan as soon as you get stuck in a cage, only to guide the dog through an underground dungeon in order to get the key and backtrack the whole stage to free Luke. And the level ends as soon as you free him. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Played for Laughs in a one-page comic that was made around the time the comic switched to a less strict publisher. In the comic, which freely breaks the fourth wall, Luke enjoys the freedom the change has given him by acting completely Out of Character. Namely by swearing, drinking alcohol instead of the usual lemonade, shooting a sheriff in the stomach and having implied, off-screen sex with a saloon girl, all while the other characters are pointing out that the publisher is too respectable to ever let him get away with these acts, and Luke in turn pointing out that he got a new publisher now. The one-shot tribute The Man who Shot Lucky Luke could be described as "What if Lucky Luke was serious and realistic instead of humorous?" The drawing, the coloring and the mood is much darker. Lucky Luke is far more stoic rather than his usual laid-back self. There's some violence that's nasty rather than silly, both physically and because of who's doing it to whom. Jolly Jumper doesn't speak, and Luke comes across as formidable but doesn't show any unbelievable Improbable Aiming Skills and isn't a completely Invincible Hero. And smoking is bad for your health. (Actually, you probably won't laugh at that last one when you see how it's played.) A follow-up to The Man who Shot Lucky Luke by the same author was released: Wanted Lucky Luke. A bounty has been put Lucky Luke's head. While hunted down, he try to escort a trio of sisters safely to their destination. The setting is as somber as its predecessor and the story dwells into Grey-and-Gray Morality. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Infamous case in the last story The Man of Washington. The main villain is a hitman called Sam Palin (YES, Palin, and it was released around the 2008 American Elections?) who is a violent supporter of gun-owning rights. In a panel, his eye pupils become red, foam comes out of his mouth as he says "Just because we have guns doesn't mean we are dangerous! Grrrr!" Not to mention that the comic was also about a fictional oil millionaire from Texas who wants to become president and doesn't coincidentally look like George W. Bush. Laurent Gerra is just that subtle. | |

Misplaced a Decimal Point: In the episode Outlaw, the Daltons (the original ones, not the cousins from the later stories) try to divide their loot among themselves. Having had no actual schooling, they fail horribly, turning a simple long division into a mathematical nightmare. Bob Dalton uses his gun to place a decimal point "to simplify things". | |

Gratuitous Spanish: Averell's attempt to say "When do we eat around here?" while in Mexico ("Cuando se come aqui?") comes out as "Coacoacomékiki?". He keeps trying to get it right all through the album, but none of the Mexicans have any clue what he is saying. Finally, on the last page, he does manage to get it perfectly right... when talking to the prison cook, who is not Mexican and does not speak Spanish (and in fact, hears it as "Coacoacomékiki"). | |

Happy Rain In The Wagon Train, when the caravan of California-bound settlers was running out of water after crossing a desert. Of course, once all the water barrels are filled, and the praire starts turning to mud, the settlers start bitching about that instead, which is lampshaded by Luke. In Barbed Wire on the Prairie, when a showdown between ranchers and farmers had turned to the latter's advantage because of a drought (the rain came just after an agreement to share water was reached). | |

Luke is pretty much composed, aside from bouts of Enraged by Idiocy.

Anti-Nepotism: The 20th Cavalry Regiment is headed by a colonel whose son is also in the regiment, and is punished for just about every single thing he says by the colonel to avoid any accusations of nepotism (according to the son it was by pure coincidence that the Cavalry assigned him to his father's regiment). The son finally snaps back at the colonel, who is stunned that his son is finally a man. Of course, old habits are hard to break, and at the end of the story, the son is punished for speaking out of turn (that is, saying "Goodbye, Luke" without asking Permission to Speak Freely). | |

Cardboard Prison: The Dalton's once-per-episode evasion. "Finding Lucky Luke and politely asking him if he doesn't mind bringing them back, please" is a standard prison protocol. The prison warden and some of the guards have become recurring characters in Rantaplan stories, and they are mostly depicted as buffoons. Besides the Daltons, many prisoners have fooled them and walked out of prison. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: The comic cherry-picks historical characters from around 1850 to the early 1900s while Luke of course never seems to grow older. Like in Asterix, the comic often draws a lot of humor from using anachronisms on purpose and by making references to events that have not yet past during the time period the comic is set in. Strangely, The American Civil War is almost totally absent from the first seventy-eight albums.note It does get a mention in passing when Jesse James' backstory is explained at the beginning of his eponymous album, and as the reason for Lincoln ordering completion of the first Transcontinental Telegraph in The Singing Wire. Also, the Joss Jamon gang is stated to consist of ex-Confederate soldiers from the Civil War on the first page of Lucky Luke vs. Joss Jamon. The seventy-ninth album, A Cowboy in High Cotton, doesn't show the war itself, but addresses the consequences directly, plunging Lucky Luke in reconstruction-era Louisiana where he has inherited a cotton plantation worked by former slaves. Unsurprisingly, it is one of the darkest episodes of the series. The adult Lucky Luke meets (and helps out) the Earp brothers in the album O.K. Corral, while in Oklahoma Jim a much younger Lucky Luke cites Wyatt Earp as an example of a sheriff who has been shot... In Lucky Luke vs. Pinkerton, Abraham Lincoln, traveling to his inauguration at the time of the Baltimore plot, refers to having met Lucky Luke in The Singing Wire... but in the Singing Wire, Lincoln is already president and living in the White House. The titular device in "The One-Armed Bandit" is supposed to be the very first of its kind, but another one appears in "Western Circus", which was printed eleven years earlier. Early bicycles had been around in Lucky Luke's time, but in the Homage issue Lucky Luke sattelt um, he rides a fairly modern bike. It even has pneumatic tires; when these were patented for bicycles, The Old West was already history. | |

Afterwards, two of the people who had fought in the saloon are walking home together and says that Pappy would have loved that fight. | |

Limited Wardrobe: Luke is seldom seen without his blue jeans, yellow shirt (originally, it was plaid), black vest, red scarf, and white hat. The Daltons are usually seen in prison garb, but tend to pick up (matching) civilian clothes when they can. Their civilian clothes tend to be green shirts and jean pants, such as the ones they were using in their original appearance. | |

The Dreaded | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: A Running Joke. Any bandit worth his salt uses this to his advantage, as well as Luke himself. Billy the Kid is an extreme example; most of the time, he doesn't even have to point a gun at anyone to intimidate them. In one short story, he successfully robs people just by putting up a sign saying he is nearby. In The Escort, Luke needs to bring Billy the Kid to a New Mexico court for crimes committed there, with Billy scaring townsfolk into giving up their valuables just by being there. But as soon as he has crossed the border from Texas to New Mexico, he finds that no-one has heard of him, and people treat him as the ill-mannered teen he looks like. One short story involves Luke training a group of inept townsfolk in law enforcement. The result? The group became known as The Seven, and each became sheriff of their own town, where no criminal dared to go, knowing that it was protected by one of Luke's graduates. Played straight with Black Bart, the diligence's passengers who braved Indians, bandits and more with relative ease are unnerved to go in his territory (save the photographer who wants to take a photo of the famed outlaw), even with Luke on their side. He is also one of the few bandits to get the upper hand on Lucky Luke and would have stolen the loot if the loot wasn't a decoy all along. One character even doubts that Black Bart is human. In reality, Black Bart was a rather unassuming man in late middle-age named Charles Bolton, as shown at the end of that part of the album. The Daltons often get this reaction wherever they go. When they are actually trying to perform crimes, it helps them. When they are out on parole or trying to keep a low profile it proves detrimental. In some cases, they are only trying to get groceries or supplies, and have crowds panicking or handing them loot which they never asked for. Several times leading to one or more Dalton trying to explain: "This isn't what it looks like..." Daltons in the Blizzard has the Daltons moving north, their notoriety increasing with every hold-up, with the bankers' reactions going from "Who?" to "You're the Daltons! Take the safe, don't shoot!" | |

After Jesse realizes stealing from the rich and giving from the poor just changes who is rich and who is poor, he decides to instead begin burning the money he steals. His brother suggest him to give the money back and forth between themselves and their cousin so the rich gives to the poor in a loop. | |

First-Step Fixation: In Rantanplan's Inheritance, the Daltons plan another prison escape, but they'd need a weapon. Averell reveals he sculpted a fake Colt out of soap and dyed it with shoeshine. His brothers marvel at how realistic it looks, and Averell informs them he had a model — a real, loaded Colt that a prison guard misplaced. Averell then guilelessly explains that he couldn't make a fake Colt without a real one, otherwise the soap gun would have looked fake. Joe is so incensed by the stupidity of the whole thing that he forces Averell to eat the soap gun. | |

No Smoking | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_3f238526 | comment |
No Smoking: In several stories, Luke has quit smoking and habitually chews on a straw of grass instead. In the Jean Dujardin live-action, that straw is revealed to have a stronger effect than cigarette. No wonder he's trying to quit that too. | |

Shorter Means Smarter | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_3f8ea5cc | comment |
Shorter Means Smarter: Joe Dalton. Smartest of the Daltons, which isn't saying much. Luke calls him the moronic brain of the gang. Though some stories place his intelligence in question. Due to his bad temper and obsession with Luke, Joe sometimes makes essential mistakes that undermine their plans. And is criticized for it by his less smart, but calmer and more observant brothers. Word of God is that Joe isn't smarter, just meaner than his brothers. | |

Deus ex Machina | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_3fca462c | comment |
Deus ex Machina: The final showdown between Lucky Luke and Phil Defer is this. The latter's strategy is to have Lucky Luke waste all his ammo from his revolver and then kill him quickly before he can reload. This works as intended, but Lucky Luke fires one last shot out of nowhere, killing Phil. When the townsfolk ask how Lucky Luke pulled it off, he revealed that he carried a rare seven bullet revolver. Said gun was never referred to until the showdown was over, nor does it ever appear again (except for one reference). In A Cowboy In The Cotton, we get the final confrontation between the black inhabitants and The Klan. Ammo is running low for Luke and Bass. Then all the sudden, a hurricane start devastating everything in its path. In the aftermath, we see that the clan members were devoured by alligators. | |

Ungrateful Bastard | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_3fe2b13f | comment |
Ungrateful Bastard: In Wanted Lucky Luke, Lucky Luke escorts three sisters and their cattle to Liberty town. The journey is dangerous because of a desert crossing, a hostile tribe of natives and a bounty hunter. Despite arriving safely, the herd was lost to a band of Apache. The two older sisters, Angie and Bonnie, decide to hold Lucky Luke at gunpoint because of the bounty on his head. Since they lost their cattle, they'll settle for the 50,000$ reward. Only Cherry, the youngest sister, protests against this betrayal. | |

Offstage Villainy: Used with many of the desperados Lucky Luke encounters in order to explain their notoriety. If rumours are to be believed, Phil de Fer, the original Dalton gang, Pat Poker and most specifically Billy the Kid have quite a remarkable body count. In Billy's case it is said that many of his victims were fellow criminals and Luke himself calls him worse than the Daltons (the new ones at least). | |

Well, he understands Luke, anyway. And occasionally they'll talk to each other as well, but these conversations are extremely spare. Probably because Jolly Jumper really doesn't like Rantanplan and either ignores him or makes sarcastic comments about him. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first albums of Lucky Luke rely more on visual gags. The characters are drawn in a more roundish way with big eyes, suitable for cartoon animation, which was Morris' original intention. When René Goscinny became co-author the plots and gags improved enormously, even though the comic still was much darker compared to later albums. Lucky Luke tends to shoot his opponents dead. Among the Joker Jury in Lucky Luke's trial in Lucky Luke contre Joss Jamon we find Billy the Kid, Jesse James, and Calamity Jane (as a villainess!). Visually they don't resemble at all how they would look in subsequent albums in which they played starring parts. This was fixed in the animated adaptation of the comic, in which their looks were updated to their standard designs, and Calamity Jane was replaced by Ma Dalton. In early stories, Luke is far from invincible, facing opponents who have similar skills in shooting and hand-to-hand combat. For example, in his first appearance, Averell Dalton fights Lucky to a draw in a fistfight, both of them too exhausted to continue fighting. Lucky's life often seemed to be in genuine danger, and he had to find ways in escape. As he gradually gained his Invincible Hero status, Luke is often depicted defeating entire armies of opponents without real effort and the conflict instead mostly comes from him having to face situations that cant be resolved with violence. | |

Slim's response basically comes down to "we admit we acted like idiots and hope the farmers forgive and forget". | |

Invincible Hero: This is very much how Luke evolved in the series... An example of Tropes Are Not Bad: Morris and René Goscinny used this to their advantages, by making the villains (especially the Dalton Cousins) the driving force of many stories. The fun is not watching how Luke will win, but how the villains will lose (and, in the Dalton's case, how will Averell and Joe's interaction doom Joe's plans). | |

| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_5963b221 | comment |
Eviler than Thou: It is shown in cutaways gags that Billy the Kid completely subdues and terrifies the Daltons to the extent that Joe tells the others to avoid him. A story had the Daltons escape prison with a self-declared prophet who intends to establish his own cult. Thinking it is a money-making scheme, they agree to help him in his plan. Once the "prophet" takes over a town with overly religious people (and very gullible ones) who believe in his teachings, he starts showing his true colors by becoming a tyrant, abusing people, abusing animals, etc. His motivation is not money after all. Three of the four Daltons are increasingly disturbed by his behavior, realizing that he is worse than them. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: The villain from The One-armed Bandit randomly drops his whole scheme (destroying the prototype slot machine because it would put card cheats like him out of business) because he and his goon, who he had been using as a horse because Lucky Luke had scared off their horses during their first ambush, were spotted by one of the managers for the Pony Express who was impressed with the speed they got around, and offered them a job. The offer of a decent wage and three meals a day is enough to get the villain to turn honest, and the last part of the story lacks a normal antagonist as a result. Slim, the Fat Bastard Big Bad from "Barbed Wire on the Prairie" has an unusually quick one when the plot wraps up; after the other cattle barons and the farmers have made peace and agreed to share land and resources on the prairie, one of Slim's mooks asks him what they'll do now. Slim's response basically comes down to "we admit we acted like idiots and hope the farmers forgive and forget". | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_63d861f8 | comment |
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: The Dalton Brothers always stick together, proving that even among criminals blood is thicker than water. There is one time when they start singing the songs they used to sing back when they were kids and their parents brought them along to rob banks. Any Dalton story has the brothers arguing with each other, and at times they act as rivals or opponents to each other. But they eventually admit that they need each other, and reconcile to bring the gang back together. One story featuring the Daltons as children, had Joe Dalton obsessing about a goal and ready to abandon his brothers in the wilderness to pursue it. The other three Daltons remind Joe that their parents taught them to look out for each other, and Joe admits that his family is more important than the goal. Subverted with Frank James, when Jesse says they'll avenge their brave companion and cousin Cole Younger that was arrested by Luke, Frank tells him to shut up, they need Cole because he was the "poor" today so he is the one who knows where their money is. Averted in "A Cowboy in the Cotton" where the Daltons fight off The Klan not for any moral reason but because they want to kill Luke themselves (they actually think the Klan are a native tribe with particularly ridiculous headgear). | |

Inevitable Waterfall: Lampshaded. As the Daltons are about to fall down one, Jack reassures Joe, saying that in adventure stories something always comes up at the last second to save the characters. Unfortunately, in this case nothing does and the four brothers take the plunge (though they are rescued afterwards by an Indian fisherman). | |

The Key Is Behind the Lock: In a cartoon episode, the Dalton Brothers are trying to be honest, and to have a honest work, they open their own bank. At one point Averell Dalton is commanded to open the safe, but he can't remember where the key is, so he opens the safe with dynamite. It turns out that the key is inside, and Averell closed it in there "for safety". Joe Dalton is not amused. | |

Serious Business: For cattle barons, barbed wire is a personal insult, as it means their cows can't go there. Luke has to go to a land mostly inhabited by farmers to get some because no one sells or will deliver it in cowboy's territory. They even go out of their way to make their cattle trample the farm of the person who put barbed wire. | |

Rain Dance | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_6d00503a | comment |
Rain Dance: In one episode, an area inhabited by Native Americans is suffering from serious draught. As it turns out, their shaman has fallen from a horse and hit his head. He is otherwise ok but can't get the dance right and his various attempts only produce minor weather anomalies (like a small blizzard conjured by doing the macarena). In another, a group of irate native dignitaries enters the local saloon to deliver an angry message to the townspeople. These include their shaman... and his unruly apprentice, who is far more interested in the saloon girls than their mission, and decides to start dancing on the stage. Afterwards, it starts raining in the girls' dressing-room. In "Fingers", Luke summons a brief rain shower that makes a plant bulb sprout and grow immediately, to impress a tribe of indians that his magic is greater. In actuality, the rain was faked by the titular magician using a wagon-mounted sprinkler, with the plant bulb serving to draw the indians' attention | |

| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_716d9138 | comment |
Bar Brawl: There's always one going on. One of the more amusing examples is a saloon pianist complaining to Luke that he wanted to play classical music in a concert hall. He gets his chance to do so, and is seized by Stage Fright due to the unfamiliar environment and high-class audience. Luke, seeing this, rides through the concert hall on horseback while Firing in the Air a Lot, which immediately starts a fight ("Hooray, a brawl!" "George! Have you gone mad?"). The pianist then starts playing, being in the right atmosphere again. | |

Straw Character | |

Straw Character: Infamous case in the last story The Man of Washington. The main villain is a hitman called Sam Palin (YES, Palin, and it was released around the 2008 American Elections?) who is a violent supporter of gun-owning rights. In a panel, his eye pupils become red, foam comes out of his mouth as he says "Just because we have guns doesn't mean we are dangerous! Grrrr!" Not to mention that the comic was also about a fictional oil millionaire from Texas who wants to become president and doesn't coincidentally look like George W. Bush. Laurent Gerra is just that subtle. Abraham Locker is an obvious expy of Donald Trump. He supports slavery, hates immigrants and throw angry tantrums when things don't go his way. He's also one of the rare villains to incur the wrath of Lucky Luke. | |

| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_762b9223 | comment |
Played for Laughs in a one-page comic that was made around the time the comic switched to a less strict publisher. In the comic, which freely breaks the fourth wall, Luke enjoys the freedom the change has given him by acting completely Out of Character. Namely by swearing, drinking alcohol instead of the usual lemonade, shooting a sheriff in the stomach and having implied, off-screen sex with a saloon girl, all while the other characters are pointing out that the publisher is too respectable to ever let him get away with these acts, and Luke in turn pointing out that he got a new publisher now. | |

Comedic Spanking: Since Billy the Kid in this setting is still 14 years old (unlike his real life counterpart who comitted most of his crimes as an adult, but kept his nickname due to how early he started), Lucky Luke's go-to punishment for him is a spanking. Part of the humor is in Billy's size. While depicted as pretty lethal with a handgun, Billy is a short and scrawny kid. Luke towers over him. | |

Boomerang Bigot | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_7cf2f728 | comment |
Boomerang Bigot: A chieftain of Indians and a cavalry officer were at war against each other. The chieftain has a blood hatred against white people for invading their land and killing his people. The story revealed at the end that the chieftain is of Caucasian descent and that he always knew his true origins. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_7d89315b | comment |
The typically quiet Indians will sometimes indulge in this for throwaway gags. A memorable example happens at the end of Lucky Luke versus Joss Jamon when a villainous Injun (who had up to that point not uttered a single word beyond the characteristic "Ugh!") delivers an elaborate, long-winded "The Reason You Suck" Speech to his ringleader. The criminals are stunned. | |

Light Is Good | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_7dbd52b8 | comment |
Light Is Good: Parodied, whenever the comics feature a character who performs as The Paragon cowboy in a stage show (such as the fake Daltons from "Western Circus", or the title character from "The Dashing White Cowboy"), they will always wear an entirely white outfit to showcase what good guys they are. This is a parody of the cowboy heroes from early Wild West fiction intended for kids, such as the movies by Tom Mix. | |

Never Mess with Granny: Ma Dalton. Luke even says he'd never been so scared as during his quick-draw with her, as there's no way he could shoot an old lady even if she was in fact very much about to kill him. Good thing Sweetie chose that moment to jump into her arms, allowing Luke to disarm her. | |

Artistic License – Animal Care | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_82ff8b68 | comment |
Artistic License – Animal Care: Averted. Jolly Jumper is semi-frequently shown drinking beer. However, contrary to most people's intuition, beer is a perfectly harmless and fairly healthy treat for a horse. In fact, adding beer to water is a fairly common way to ensure that a dehydrated horse drinks. Jolly Jumper tends to get plenty of excuses due to being just that awesome. Rantanplan gets a few thanks to general weirdness. | |

Napoleon Delusion: The character of Smith, convinced he is the Emperor of the United States, references the historical "Emperor" Joshua Norton, with the important difference that he is a millionaire ranch owner who can afford full Napoleonic costumes, paraphernalia and army. He names Napoleon as his "model" and insists on full-on First Empire protocol in all circumstances, to the hilarious dismay of his employees-turned-soldiers. | |

Sapient Steed: Jolly Jumper often talks, but usually does this with other horses or with himself, in the same vein as Snowy with Tintin. Mainly, but he also does talk to Lucky Luke sometimes. He's also exchanged the occasional word with Rantanplan, though not often — probably because he detests the dog. | |

Parental Favoritism: Ma Dalton heavily favors Averell, her youngest son, over the other three, which is a possible reason why he is a much nicer person. However, the same album also reveals that she personally favors Joe because he reminds her so much of Pa Dalton. That's why she's so much tougher on him, because he's the brains of the group and has to look after his brothers. | |

Denser and Wackier: While hyper-realism was never a concern of the comic, the movie Go West: A Lucky Luke Adventure is much more cartoony than what's normal for the series, with a high tempo, lots of wild takes and cartoon logic, and Amusing Injuries aplenty. To a lesser degree The Daltons is this as well. | |

Harmless Villain | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_8c23b321 | comment |
Harmless Villain: Unlike his three signifigantly more vicious brothers, Averell has little interest in crime, and is more interested in food. He would likely not even be a criminal if not for his family. To be fair, Averell has been depicted as having great fighting skills and can put them to good use on occassion. However, he is childishly naive, gullible, and impulsive. People take advantage of him frequently. A running gag of the series involves the Daltons' wanted posters. The reward on his brothers can amount to several thousand dollars, while the reward on Averell at times is less than 50 dollars. In the first version of this gag, before the new Daltons earned their infamy, he wasn't wanted at all! | |

One-Note Cook: All the station cooks they encounter on a travel with the stagecoach can cook nothing but potatoes with bacon (well, and coffee, or something similar). Except for one, who makes beef with beans (because the gambler bribed him to win a bet). Even in a party organized by that stagecoach company, all the dishes contain potatoes and bacon, with an extra random ingredient thrown in for each one. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Zarter Schmelz, the Homage done by Ralf Koenig, himself a huge Lucky Luke fan, does this quite a few times. Before Calamity Jane appears for the first time, we see a speech bubble full of grawlixes coming from her, just like in her eponymous issue. Some are taken from Lucky Luke comics which actually exist in-universe in this story. One of them is when Terry reminds Luke that the latter has killed the original Dalton gang after he claims to never have killed anyone. | |

Counting Bullets | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_9f1b0b39 | comment |
Counting Bullets: Luke has occasionally tricked opponents into using up all their bullets by taunting them to perform tricks. In Lucky Luke versus Phil Defer, the professional assassin Phil Defer tries to use this against Luke, only for Luke to reveal that his pistol is a special model that holds seven bullets instead of the usual six. | |

Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_9fe35833 | comment |
Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: And the Daltons are quite right to. Ma Dalton was a fearsome bandit herself, and she still carries a loaded gun in her handbag. After his shootout with her is interrupted by her cat Sweetie running into her arms, Luke (still sweating cold bullets) admits that he has never been that scared. The stories imply that the Daltons' father has been dead for decades, and that Ma Dalton reared her boys as a single mother. They both love her and fear her strictness. In her eyes, the dreaded outlaws are still the little boys which she has to discipline. | |

Homage | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_a1a1491e | comment |
The one-shot tribute The Man who Shot Lucky Luke could be described as "What if Lucky Luke was serious and realistic instead of humorous?" The drawing, the coloring and the mood is much darker. Lucky Luke is far more stoic rather than his usual laid-back self. There's some violence that's nasty rather than silly, both physically and because of who's doing it to whom. Jolly Jumper doesn't speak, and Luke comes across as formidable but doesn't show any unbelievable Improbable Aiming Skills and isn't a completely Invincible Hero. And smoking is bad for your health. (Actually, you probably won't laugh at that last one when you see how it's played.) | |

Cool Horse | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_a588c1cf | comment |
Cool Horse: Exaggerated/parodied with Jolly Jumper; he can even play chess! Better yet, he can fish... and bait his own fishhook with a worm. Luke asks him how does he do it, and he replies "Like everybody: with disgust." When Luke's hired by to find a stolen horse, he wonders if it didn't simply escape. The owner then shows him the empty stall and asks him if he knows any horses that can pick locks. "Yes, my own. But he's one of a kind..." A few stories have Jolly Jumper stolen or unavailable, causing Luke to find replacements horses. They are inferior replacements, reinforcing Luke's determination to locate Jolly Jumper. | |

Hanging Judge | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_a80ad52c | comment |
Hanging Judge Roy Bean in The Judge. Notably, he was not a real judge, but mainly a scam artist who ran both a makeshift courthouse and the saloon. His threat of hanging was mostly bluster. Isaac Parker in Belle Starr is a straighter example. Justified. The real-life Isaac Parker (1838 – 1896) was nicknamed "the Hanging Judge" due to his trial record. "Parker sentenced 160 people to death; 79 of them were executed." Several of the others sentenced by Parker died in prison before the set date for their executions. Parker was appointed judge by Ulysses S. Grant in part because he had a reputation for being incorruptible, and Grant wanted someone to replace the notoriously corrupt judge William Story. Grant probably did not expect that Parker would become known for an unusually large body count. | |

Not So Stoic | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_a8a4b41e | comment |
Not So Stoic: The Indian member of Joss Jamon's gang gives a long, elaborate speech, using Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness, that he sums up as "they outnumber us twenty to seven, I'm not dying here and I'll scalp any of you stupid enough to stop me". After a whole album in which he said nothing but "howgh". Luke is pretty much composed, aside from bouts of Enraged by Idiocy. When he reads an old friend's postmortem letter he tries to roll a cigarette only to shake too much and tear the cigarette paper, showing he is moved. This gets a Call-Back when a jewish boy plays a song with his violin where his wheatstalk almost fall off his mouth. Despite his normally ice-cold demeanour under pressure, Luke can get flustered in situations he's not used to. Gun fights and other mortal dangers is no problem for him, but as seen in "The Bride of Lucky Luke" he's very uncomfortable around women. "The White Cowboy" also shows him suffering badly from stage fright. The psychologist from "The Daltons Cure" lampshades this, and gets under Luke's skin by pointing out that he clings to his "lonesome cowboy" persona as a safety blanket. Of course, said psychologist later decided to embark on a life of crime himself, so who knows? | |

Sub-Par Supremacist: "A Cowboy In The Cotton" has Luke inherit a massive cotton plantation in Louisiana just after the Civil War ends. He immediately declares his intent to divide the property among the former slaves, but is opposed by the former landowners in the region, all of which are either vapid and ugly Southern Belles swooning over the hero who's killed so many Indians, or Upper-Class Twit Klansmen (one of which has twelve toes, hinted to be from inbreeding). Making it all the more obvious is that Luke works with the historical black sheriff Bass Reeves, who is as competent as Luke himself. | |

When he queries the Sergeant, he is informed that these men have been assigned to peel potatoes, and life in the cavalry goes on, potatoes or no potatoes. The sergeant then berates the men for not pretending to peel thinly enough and tells them that the colonel will pretend to inspect the pretend peels personally. | |

A particularly foul example were the citizens of a town that was ransacked by the Daltons during their first escape and who decided to vent their frustration by hanging Luke without any proof that he was a member of the Dalton Gang because life's no fun if they only kill guilty people. Luke turns the tables on them by claiming that if he is a member of the gang then they'll be screwed once the Daltons learn about their accomplice's execution. | |

It's never explained who makes them or how that person knows them to such great details, but amongst other things, they make possible a Continuity Nod when Terry asks Luke if he has ever killed someone and then confronts him with his much earlier killing of the original Dalton brothers, a nod to the pre-Goscinny era. | |

The Ace | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_b5b4b077 | comment |
The Ace: Lucky Luke is good at what he does. Very much so. It is said that he can draw faster than his shadow. A lot of the later Goscinny/Morris albums (especially those following the Daltons), tend to focus more on the villains trying to top Lucky Luke than Luke himself saving the day. Many of the movies also do this. There are a few cases where Luke is shown to be inept at something (he is paralysed by stage fright when he needs to act in a play and causes a huge mess when trying to pass himself as a Chinese in one Animated Adaptation) but they are few and far between. Jolly Jumper is a horse Ace. | |

There is also a scene where Luke visits a clockmaker, and all the Cuckoo Clocks on the wall behind him go off simultaniously, which startles Luke into drawing his gun. | |

Ink-Suit Actor: Morris did this regularly. The colonel in The 20th Cavalry is quite obviously played by Randolph Scott, and in many ways an Affectionate Parody of Scott's usual Western character. The bounty hunter in the eponymous album is based on Lee van Cleef, who often played bounty hunter characters. A barkeep in The Devil's Ranch, which features a Haunted House, is based on Alfred Hitchcock. | |

Improbable Aiming Skills | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_bcd27e37 | comment |
Improbable Aiming Skills: Most memorably when Luke shoots what seems to be random holes into a roll of waxed paper. Then he puts the roll and a coin into a player piano, and the piano starts playing Chopin's "Funeral March". | |

Chaste Hero | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_c209fc7 | comment |
Chaste Hero: Lucky Luke is not romantically interested in anyone although women tend to be sweet on him. Enforced, as comic book heroes had to be at the time; The Comics Codenote To be precise, it was the French equivalent of The Comics Code: "Law #49-956 of 1949-07-16 on the Publications destined to the Youth", as a protectionist measure, which is one of the many reasons comics flourished more in Belgium than in France at that time. was ridiculously afraid of anything resembling love, in case it led to something inappropriate. In many cases that "anything" included women. Of course, to today's people it tends to suggest something else about those guys' sexuality... By Fridge Logic it might also be justified in-universe: being a cowboy means spending most of the year on the move after all, even if you herd the Daltons more than cattle. The irony is that while Luke is indeed celibate, the series didn't shy away from depicting saloon girls. In the end of the story Bride of Lucky Luke, the full version of his "lonesome cowboy" song is about him not getting steady with women. At least one album had Lucky forced into an engagement with a woman, replacing her betrothed in an arranged marriage who was in prison for vandalism to other people's property. Lucky went out of his way to get the other man released and married to the woman. Lucky liked her, but did not like living with her or being forced to settle down. While Lucky is forever single, Averell Dalton has been repeatedly depicted as genuinely in love with women, with at least three different girlfriends over the course of the series. All of his relationships ended because Lucky had to return him to prison, though the women would like him to return to them. For some reason, the series keep giving Averell "exotic" girlfriends: two Mexican ladies and one Native American woman. | |

Dogs Are Dumb: Rantanplan is literally Too Dumb to Live, having nearly drowned or otherwise killed himself numerous times. Where Luke's tagline is "The man who shoots faster than his own shadow" (with accompanying image), Rantanplan gets "stupider than his own shadow" (and shows the shadow jumping over a barrel that Rantanplan runs into). | |

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Happens in L'Élixir du Dr Doxey, which consists of two stories. In the first story the villain, a quack named Doxey, has an assistant named Scraggy. At the end of the story the two are imprisoned together. In the next story however, Doxy is suddenly alone in prison and Scraggy is never seen or mentioned again. The animated adaption solved this problem by showing how, after escaping, Doxey betrays Scraggy and uses him as a distraction against the sheriff. | |

Strong Family Resemblance: The Dalton brothers, who not only look identical to each other aside from their height differences, but are also identical to their cousins (the real Dalton brothers who got killed off in their first appearance), as well as their mother, Ma Dalton (ho looks just like her sons minus the mustache). An uncle and a few other relatives have been depicted, all with the same facial structure, though their personalities differ (the uncle is an honest banker). In one story it turns out the Dalton brothers themselves can't tell the difference if their heads are at the same heights. | |

Freudian Excuse: One album is about an alienist that uses this and Single-Issue Psychology to have people turn their life around when they realize how one moment in childhood snowballed tragedies that made them what they are now. It doesn't work on the Daltons since being from a loving family of outlaws, their every precious childhood memory is about robbing banks and misbehaving. They are making them happy with how they ended up. | |

Asians Eat Pets | |

Asians Eat Pets: One Rantanplan story has Rantanplan be the Pet Heir to a large amount of property, including most of a Chinatown. This causes him to be variously abducted by the residents of the Chinatown to protest the rents and living conditions or taken by a restaurant to be made into lacquered coyote while still alive (Rantanplan thinks he's enjoying a sauna in a beauty salon). Meanwhile, the Daltons get involved (as they're next in the inheritance after Rantanplan) after Averell mentions he wanted to try eating dog, leading to the Chinese allying with the Daltons. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: The earlier comics were a bit darker and mostly based on Old West action and adventure (though not without some comedy). Luke even killed at least one man (lampshaded by Joe Dalton in Belle Starr). One of the most famous effects of this trope is Luke quitting smoking and having a straw of grass in his mouth instead. Later lampshaded when a guy offers him a cigarette. Luke refuses, saying he quit. The guy apologizes, and offers a straw of grass. Luke then says, "No thanks, I'm trying to quit." Also lampshaded in the Go West movie, where he is offered a cigarette again and says he quit. He's asked if quitting was hard, and Lucky Luke admits to chewing on a straw for quite a long time. | |

Weather Saves the Day | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_cfb3edb2 | comment |
Weather Saves the Day: An aversion: A bunch of cattle barons have leagued together against the homesteaders, as the former can no longer drive their cattle through what is now the latter's property. A drought hits, but it only hurts the ranchers as they didn't dig wells as part of their livelihoods. They come to an agreement... and rain starts falling just after it is signed. The ranchers maintain their agreement anyway. Played straight in "A Cowboy In The Cotton" where a battle against The Klan in Louisiana is broken up by a hurricane. Leading to a mention that the main villain had Gone with the Wind. | |

Hypocrite: One Congressman yells "Kick these foreigners out!" during a session, and a like-minded colleague tells him "Well said, Kowalski!" Most villainous Cowboys have no problem with old school six-shooters duel at noon, even looking forward to it when the opponent seems to have no chance. However when a foreigner suggests a different sort of duel (the Austrian with fencing and the British tenderfoot with pistol duel) the cowboys are frightened by it and call it barbaric. Abraham Locker is openly racist and yet, that doesn't stop him from hiring a Mexican thug to do his dirty work. | |

Inconveniently Vanishing Exonerating Evidence: Nonlethal variation in one Rantanplan story: A cavalry officer has left his grandson Douglas in the care of the prison's warden, but he ran off with the circus along with Rantanplan. In order to keep the colonel from investigating, the warden fakes letters from Douglas claiming that he's still in the prison. When both the circus and the colonel end up in the prison at the same time, the colonel demands to know about the letters he wrote, which of course Douglas knows nothing about. The warden quickly sweeps the fake letters off his desk where they're eaten by Rantanplan in the few seconds the colonel has his back turned. Having a bit of a breakdown, the colonel leaves. | |

| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_d9e9ad7e | comment |
The Cavalry: Acts as Only the Author Can Save Them Now: the cavalry will come just in time, if and only if there is no other way to save the day anymore. Also notice that the cavalry was kind of Men of Sherwood in earlier albums. Later, they were flanderized into stupid militaries who still use Tonto Talk with indians who talk perfectly. | |

Breakout Character | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_da0eeab5 | comment |
Breakout Character The Dalton brothers are curious examples, as they are Suspiciously Similar Substitutes and in fact the cousins of the original (and more competent) Daltons, who appeared in one album and died at the end of the story. When René Goscinny took over the script for the comic, he introduced the new Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain Daltons, who went on to become major characters, sometimes even becoming the Villain Protagonists of their own stories. Rantanplan even has his own Spin-Off series. | |

Conveniently Cellmates: The four Dalton Brothers will always get a cell together. Add to that the fact that it is a Cardboard Prison and they are all Tunnel Kings, and they will also very easily escape together. Typically by digging four tunnels. Yes, they're that smart. | |

Two Decades Behind | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_dc26326 | comment |
Two Decades Behind: The comic strip is more or less a satire of western movies, especially the classics by John Ford and Sergio Leone. Morris never liked the westerns that were made after the 1960s, when political correctness stepped in and many of the ancient stereotypes were removed for a more realistic and historically accurate approach of the Wild West. Thus many of the later Lucky Luke albums are still referring to western movie iconography that died out since the sixties and western films most of his younger audiences have never seen. | |

A Round of Drinks for the House | |

A Round of Drinks for the House: When the Dalton Brothers come to a city in Canada, a gold digger arrives and uses his gold to buy a round. The saloon owner says that the gold diggers all do that and then go back to digging gold for another six months. Cue to Joe Dalton planning to take over the saloon... In The Bounty Hunter, when the hunter asks for this, the waiter soaks the counter in whiskey, as he refuses to give glasses to said profession. | |

Chariot Pulled by Cats | |

Chariotpulled By Cats: One story has Luke escort a wagon convoy west. At one point the convoy packs up and leaves in the dark, hitching animals without checking who they belong to, resulting in wagons being pulled by pairs of donkeys, horses, cows, and one very confused buffalo. It's the comedic use of the trope with a misplaced wild animal. | |

Amusingly Awful Aim | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_e0e3397e | comment |
Amusingly Awful Aim: One story has the titular hero training a wannabe crimefighter who's such a lousy shot that even standing directly behind him is not a guarantee of safety. "The Rivals of Painful Gulch" has Luke dealing with two Feuding Families who will fire without warning at their rivals, or anyone they think is associated with their rivals. Unfortunately, their extremely bad aim makes them a danger to any bystanders rather than the actual target. At one point Luke tries to negotiate with them and they chase him off, with Luke himself admitting that he only survived the encounter because they are such lousy shots. | |

Dub Name Change | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: As a slight Woolseyism, Cinebook decided to change Rantanplan's name to Rin-Tin-Can. In the Dutch translations, they dropped two letters to make it "Rataplan", which is a slightly archaic Dutch word for a chaotic mess. As the Dutch version of That Other Wiki states: "This indicates perfectly how this dog's brain functions." The Swedish dub changed his name to Ratata. | |

Lazy Mexican: "Tortillas for the Daltons" features this in spades. There is an entire city in which the population did nothing but resting even when the criminals arrive to kidnap someone. It even turns out that a bank owner would make a party because his bank will finally be robbed. That being said, the biggest bandit group in Mexico from this comic book is a notable aversion, but you can understand that it is the biggest bandit group in Mexico for a reason (even if they are unable to rob banks). | |

Averell is named the kid's godfather... which greatly angers Joe because he thinks that if there's any godfathers in the Dalton family it should be him. | |

Bounty Hunter: The book The Bounty Hunter (in French Chasseur de primes) is a hilarious parody of the trope. Following a short introductional treaty on the general status of bounty hunters in the Old West, we get introduced to the title character, Elliot Belt, a notorious and unscrupulous representative of his trade. His appearance is an obvious nod on Western actor Lee Van Cleef, particularly his acting roles as merciless bounty hunter. | |

Lactose over Liquor | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_e692a3ae | comment |
Lactose over Liquor: In " The Pony Express", the new recruits for the Pony Express are forced to drink milk in the saloon since their contract forbids them from drinking alcohol. This gets them mocked by the members of the Pacific Railway (the Pony Express' main competitor). Their leader, the station master, even forces William Russell, head of the Pony Express, at gunpoint to drink a bottle of whiskey. In the comic, he actually drinks it, while in the animated adaptation Luke shoots the bottle. In both versions, Luke then gets back at the station master by forcing him at gunpoint to drink a bottle of milk. In "The Tenderfoot", Luke realizes that the bad guy is still alive, as the level of the bottle only he is allowed to drink from is getting lower. When the barman, his accomplice, claims that he's been drinking it, Luke points that like most barmen, he is The Teetotaler, as shown by the glass of milk he was holding at that moment. | |

Once per Episode | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_f05444a4 | comment |
Once per Episode: Luke rides into the sunset, singing "I'm a poor lonesome cowboy, far away from home..." Often lampshaded and parodied, such as the time he does so around page three and Jolly Jumper expresses his pleased surprise at this early ending. Sure as rain, the bridge they were riding on blows up. In Where The Sunset Is, Averell has a rare moment of Genre Savviness. After the Dalton brothers escape from jail again, Joe decides that rather than head for the nearest town (where they are bound to be found and arrested by Lucky Luke sooner or later), they will hide out in the wilderness. Soon they have found a nice peaceful place where they want to settle for the night — all except for Averell, who feels uneasy about the place and wants to leave. Just as the sun sets, Luke comes riding along, spots the brothers and arrests them. Back in jail, Joe wonders how Averell knew that Luke would be there, and Averell replies, "Didn't you notice? That's the place where..." Cut to the closing scene with Luke riding into the sunset at that exact location. That is "where the sunset is". | |

| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_f08aac64 | comment |
Thou Shall Not Kill: Due to his habit of Blasting It Out of Their Hands Lucky Luke has the reputation of never killing his enemies, and several media mistakenly refer to him as never having killed anyone.note a theory supported by Goscinny's daughter, Anne. However, this isn't in full effect as Luke has canonically killed Evil Twin Mad Jim, and this story was in the first album of the series. This fact is actually acknowledged by Joe Dalton in the album Belle Star. In the original run of Lucky Luke vs. Phil Defer story, Luke kills Defer at the end in a duel. This was later retconned in the album releases by Defer only being injured but rendered crippled for life. Also, the original Daltons gang was hanged after Luke caught them. In first publication, Luke actually kills Bob Dalton by headshot... and it's onscreen◊. In the album version, it is censored and replaced by a simple caught with a barrel — before their hanging. | |

Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_f1d3f0c9 | comment |
Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: The typically quiet Indians will sometimes indulge in this for throwaway gags. A memorable example happens at the end of Lucky Luke versus Joss Jamon when a villainous Injun (who had up to that point not uttered a single word beyond the characteristic "Ugh!") delivers an elaborate, long-winded "The Reason You Suck" Speech to his ringleader. The criminals are stunned. In another story, a Christian preacher tries to convert Indians through teaching the "savages" simplified lessons on Christian beliefs. A confused listener asks his friend to explain what the preacher is talking about. The other Indian gives a detailed explanation of the preacher's worldview, analyzing it from a philosophical perspective and using technical terms. This particular "savage" happens to be better educated than the preacher in question. | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_f5a3e496 | comment |
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: In their first appearance the Daltons were actually shot dead by Lucky Luke! Since the characters proved to be very popular Morris brought them back, or rather their cousins, who looked and acted exactly the same and were also four brothers of differing height! So the Daltons we know today are actually copies of the original. | |

Photo Doodle Recognition: In one story, charlatan Dr. Doxey changes his name, shaves his moustache and beard, and has a new picture of him taken for his ads. However, a kid Doxey pissed off defaces the ad to the point it looks exactly like Doxey's old face, allowing Luke to recognize him. | |

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_f8e010ce | comment |
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: The title character of The Bounty Hunter cannot comprehend why Luke prioritizes justice over money. (This is more pronounced in the original comic than in the Hanna-Barbera adaptation.) The background of the character mentions that he was motivated by greed since childhood, and did not really have any others goals in life. He could not understand goals or emotions which he never experienced. | |

Running Gag | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Mention Lucky Luke to Joe. He will jump up and down yelling "I HATE LUCKY LUKE!" followed by Jack and William saying "Calm down, Joe". Averell saying "When's food?" optional. Getting the actual cash register, rather than just its content, especially when you rob a saloon. Most bandits are so used to this that they will automatically say "Give me the register!" | |

Easy Evangelism | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_fab3235a | comment |
Easy Evangelism: René Goscinny sometimes used this trope to bring a quick resolution to a messy situation. An especially blatant example is the end of L'Héritage de Rantanplan, where Luke tells local tycoon Oggie Swenson, in a very condescending tone, to improve the social conditions in Virginia City. Swenson instantly agrees with him, and in no time, the conflict between Chinatown and the rest of the city's population has been brought to an end. | |

Comically Missing the Point: One townsfolk remarks to another that Jolly Jumper is playing chess with Luke. The other simply answers: "Yes, he is taking way too long to make a move, but we have more pressing matter to take care of." In another example, Lucky Luke comes calling for Jolly Jumper, and finds his horse by the river, fishing. Cue the following dialogue: | |

Coin-Targeting Trickshot: In Steaming Up the Mississippi, Luke must stop a ruthless hired gunslinger. Luke challenges him to show his skill, whereupon he tosses a coin and shots it. Luke says he's not impressed. The gunslinger then tosses up four coins and shots each one, which Luke says is just a waste of money. He then tosses a playing card and shoots right through it. Luke admits he has skill, but also reminds him that his six-shooter is now empty and Luke has the upper hand. | |

Bawdy Song | |
| Lucky Luke (Comic Book) / int_ff24ad1d | comment |
Bawdy Song: Presumably, many of the songs in the saloon girls' repertoire; the good-riddance-to-publisher-Dupuis comic (see the "Darker and Edgier" entry) featured an especially bawdy one, going "see what the boys in the backroom will have". This sang by saloon girls dancing can-can. For the non-English speakers in the French audience, this counts as a Bilingual Bonus (see below). | |
