| ORPHANIMO!! / Comicbook | comment |
ORPHANIMO!! is a Belgian comic book series, consisting of 2 series of 6 albums each. All albums follow a continuing storyline, with each new album starting where the previous one left off.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The main plot is about an orphanage in the center of an unnamed city. It is owned by a lady named Alice Rosebud. After she lost the love of her life, Jim Jim, 30 years ago during a storm at sea (he was an environmentalist who was protesting against the illegal activities of an oil company), she turned her house into an orphanage. At the start of the series, only five orphans are still living with her: Victor, Stephen, Jan Jakob, Patricia and Grimelda (although they nickname themselves Vic, Sharp, Jay Jay, Trish and Gri Gri). They consider the orphanage to be their only true home, and Alice to be their mother. Therefore, they sabotage every attempt of her to find them adoptive parents.The orphanage is threatened by a rich and powerful industrial named Vallalkozo, who has already demolished almost the entire original city center and replaced all the buildings with skyscrapers. His latest plan is to build a colossal V-shaped building to top it all off, but he needs the ground the orphanage stands on to do so. Alice however wont’ sell her ground and the orphans are not afraid to mock or challenge Vallalkozo. The situation soon escalates, and Vallalkozo has the orphanage isolated from the outside world by digging away all the ground around it (which he already owned, leaving the orphanage on a small pile of ground suspended above a deep pit by the sewer pipes. In a twist of events however, when Vallalkozo and Alice first meet face to face, Vallalkozo instantly falls in love with her. This makes it harder for him to continue his attempts of buying the orphanage. Meanwhile, his assistant Hanz is secretly plotting to take over Vallalkozo's company behind his back.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })At the end of the first series, the orphans save the orphanage by attaching it to a giant air balloon (which Vallalkozo ordered in an attempt to move the house without demolishing it in an attempt to get on Alice's good side) and lifting it into the sky, planning to take it to someplace else. They also take Vallalkozo’s dog with them since she has fallen in love with their dog, Bruno. They don’t know however that the microchip containing the blueprints for the V-building is in her collar. Therefor Vallalkozo and Hanz go in pursuit of the fleeing Orphans with the (unwilling) help of the rivaling brothers Orville and Wilbur Blériot and their hot air balloons. The second series is all about the attempts of the orphans to reach an island Vallalkozo has given to Alice. Along the way, Vallalkozo, Hanz and the Blériot brothers crash on a stranded war ship and are presumed dead for a while, and the orphans accidentally end up at the north pole. Once they reach their island, they are confronted with Z-Oil, the oil company that Jimjim was protesting against 30 year ago, and its owner, Douglas Zemeckis. It turns out one of their drilling rigs is near the island. Moreover, there are some illegal activities going on on the drilling rig, as Z-Oil is secretly working on the creation of a luxury resort on the planet Mars, using rockets powered by nuclear waste to get there. Vallalkozo's ex-wife Ursula has a hand in the plan as well.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); }) | |

Crashing Through the Harem | |
| ORPHANIMO!! / Comicbook / int_14c10915 | comment |
Crashing Through the Harem: at the beginning of the first album, Vic, Sharp and Jay Jay do this on purpose in order to escape from a group of angry beach volleybal players that are pursuing them (see The Peeping Tom for the reason why). They run through a changing room where several woman are taking a shower. The 3 kids pass through without trouble, but the women are absolutely not amused about the adult men coming in and make this painfully clear to them. | |

Door Slam of Rage | |
| ORPHANIMO!! / Comicbook / int_2677b1dc | comment |
Door Slam of Rage: Currently provides the page image. In the second album, Alice and the Orphans go to the mayor in hopes that he will help them stop Hari Vallalkozo. Sadly, the Mayor is uninterested since he's a huge supporter of Vallalkozo and his plan to modernize the city, and even shows Alice some large maquettes of the skyscrapers Vallalkozo has already build. Enraged, Alice storms out of his office, slamming the door hard enough to shake the maquettes. Then she comes back in, tells the major that she definately is not going to vote for him, and slams the door even harder. This time, it causes the maquettes to topple over like dominoes, with the largest one falling on top of the mayor. | |

Hollywood Hacking: Averted. Although Sharp is a computer expert and he does manage to hack the controls of the automatic window-cleaning platform on the outside of Vallalkozo's building, he clearly states he cannot hack the main computer of the building itself to shut down security or get insight in Vallalkozo's plans (especially not because he only has a laptop to work with). | |

Painting the Medium: You can see how people feel by looking at their text balloons: red means angry, pink irritated, green scared. Also, the text balloons for the animal characters are always yellow rather than white to indicate the fact that they speak in "animal language" which the human characters cannot understand. | |

Flashback: every album contains flashbacks of Alice's and Jim Jim's live 30 years ago, in reversed order. The first album shows Jim Jim getting lost at sea, and every album following the first one shows a previous moment of their lives together until finally, in the second last album, we get to see how they first met. | |

Chromatic Arrangement | |
| ORPHANIMO!! / Comicbook / int_59275ef7 | comment |
Chromatic Arrangement: the 3 male orphans perfectly fit this trope. Vic dresses in red and frequently takes the lead, Sharp dresses in blue and is The Smart Guy, and Jay Jay dresses in green and (due to his age) is less involved in the action than the others. | |

Evil Poacher: the whalers from the album "Banzai Potvis" can be considered this. They look like a bunch of dirty, modern-day pirates, so they are probably not licensed professionals, and they don't hesitate to attack the balloon carrying the orphanage when the orphans try to interfere with their whale hunting. | |

Recycled In Space / What Could Have Been : had the series continued, the characters would eventually have visited Mars. This is even lampshaded by Hanz when his father is about to call his security and have Alice, Vallalkozo and the Orphans arrested (he states he had rather locked them in the rocket and send them to Mars, but that would have been a different story). | |

Foreshadowing: Roger's bombing plane is first discussed by him in the second album, before finally being used in the seventh (face it; it was too cool to not use it). Also, when discussing what to do about Vallalkozo, Grigri suggests they should steal the blueprints of his V-Building, but Trish doubts if Vallalkozo would actually be so foolish as to only have one copy of it. Later we learn that this is indeed the case, and the microchip containing the one copy becomes a MacGuffin during the second story arc. | |

The Peeping Tom: In the first album, while on the beach, Vic, Sharp and Jay Jay try to spy on some women in the showers with a camera (the images of which are send to Sharp's laptop computer) connected to a remote controlled miniature zeppelin. Unfortunately for them, they accidentally pick the men's shower instead and the beach volleyball players inside are not amused by the kids' antics. They succeed later after having ditched the angry men by deploying the Crashing Through the Harem trope. | |

Tap on the Head | |
| ORPHANIMO!! / Comicbook / int_b1a7cd14 | comment |
Tap on the Head: What causes Jimjim's amnesia, and later changes Vallalkozo back to Jimjim. However, not just any tap is good, as he gets several unconsciousness-inducing taps on the head before the right one happens. | |

Series Continuity Error: Considering the fact that each album continues where the previous one left off, the whole series supposedly takes place within a time span of several days to possibly several weeks (see Extremely Short Timespan above). Yet, both the fourth album and the final album take place on October 31, the 30th anniversary of Jimjim's disappearance. | |

Attending Your Own Funeral | |

Attending Your Own Funeral: played with in Banzaï potvis!, when Valllalkozo is assumed dead while he actually crashed on a deserted war ship, and Ursula organizes a "funeral" for him. Vallalkozo does not actually attend it, but he does watch it on a navigation system turned into an improvised TV. Although he is outraged at Ursula's obvious attempt to take over his company (since she knows he is in fact still alive), he is honestly touched when the coffin is lowered into the grave and admits Ursula does have a sense of drama. | |

Traveling at the Speed of Plot: Especially in the second story arc, both the heroes and the villains travel around the world at remarkable speed. A few examples: the balloon that carries the orphanage travels from the nameless city to Easter Island in less than a day, and drifts off to the north pole overnight. Vallalkozo is able to travel from the nameless city to his parents in the south seas and back in a matter of hours. | |

Selective Magnetism: When Roger is tasked to get the sewer pipes out of the pit, he uses a giant magnet, but accidentally turns it on while driving through the city towards the pit. As a result, he attracts about all metal, including cars, telephones and street lamps, but when he leaves, only the pipes are on his truck. All other metal things lie in the pit. | |

Shouldn't We Be in School Right Now? | |
| ORPHANIMO!! / Comicbook / int_f6d6a1c2 | comment |
Shouldn't We Be in School Right Now?: averted in the first story arc, in which the orphans do go to school. More played straight in the second arc, when they start traveling the world and nobody seems to care that they are skipping school to do so. | |

RunningGag | |
| ORPHANIMO!! / Comicbook / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Two smoking cleaning ladies (who don't seem to do much cleaning) that work for Vallalkozo, are constantly talking about a certain 'Irma'. We never get to see Irma or hear more about her than the mere fact the cleaning ladies like to talk about her. As the foundations for the V-building are dug, the Underground that turns out to be there becomes, well, above ground. Every time it goes through the pit, something (nearly) hits it and gets dragged along, be it Vic on a rope, a car/sled,... or something else happens, like the tunnel being closed or the rails gone. At the end of Banzaï Potvis, the tram driver even lampshades it, when the 'thing' is Ursula in a limousine: | |

Swallow the Key | |
| ORPHANIMO!! / Comicbook / int_fb72ee2e | comment |
Following the Swallow the Key incident mentioned above, Het Witte Album ends with Vic being forced to use the bathroom while still handcuffed to officer Andrea, with the rest of the orphans having the time of their lives mocking him. | |

Talking Is a Free Action | |
| ORPHANIMO!! / Comicbook / int_ff5a74c8 | comment |
Talking Is a Free Action: Several times, the dialogue in a panel would take much longer to say than the action shown in the panel would allow. A very noticeable example comes from the eighth album; Vic falls through a hole in the roof (that was made by one of Roger's wrecking balls in the previous album) and passes through his bedroom before finally ending up in the living room downstairs. During his fall, he somehow has plenty of time to notice a roller skate under his bed and make a comment about it, and once downstairs he again has enough time to politely ask if someone would please catch him. | |
