Zannablù is an Italian comic talking about a boar with blue tusks ("Zannablù" actually means "Blue tusk") and his crazy adventures. Really crazy.While the series is mostly made of original stories, also some volumes are parodies of various movies or other things. In 2010, a subline called Zannini ("Li'l Tusks") is created, completely composed by parodies and in a smaller format than normal issues.The list of the volumes so far: | |

Another one in Kill Pig, where Zannablù manages to Kill Pig (actually Giotto) not with his strength, but because, in the same moment, a burly pig discovers that he's the one his wife cheats him with, a sniper shoots at him thinking he's a terrorist, the cook accidentally replaced salt with cyanide on his pizza, his pacemaker fails, an alien spaceship hits only him while trying to destroy the world and the authors of the comic just wanted do kill a character. | |

| Zannablù (Comic Book) / int_47fea76b | comment |
Butt-Monkey: Geppetto in Moron Fairytales. Zannablù's actions in the first four tales keep bringing him in the exact place where he is building Pinocchio, that keeps being destroyed. When Zannablù properly arrives in the story of Pinocchio, he gets a job as a fisherman, accidentally catches a whale, and throws it away... squishing Geppetto under it and so ending the story prematurely. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise: In Indiana Porks, Nazis disguise as Mexicans wearing sombreros and fake moustaches, still showing the swastikas on their uniforms. And their "tacos" are clearly pretzels. Also, earlier in the same story, Zannablù and the Crazy Pig pass through Nazi security disguising as Hitler. Both of them. | |

Compilation Re-release | |
| Zannablù (Comic Book) / int_4a932556 | comment |
Compilation Rerelease: Starting from 2013, the authors began to rerelease the older issues in recolored 2-in-1 reprints. The first one was The Secret of the Béchamel and Harry Porker (in the latter they also slightly changed the single line of dialogue of Phyton (see Shout-Out below) to make the reference joke more clear - it originally was a line from one of Renato Zero's songs, now it's the first line of the most known one, so everyone can get it), the second one features Zannablù Must not Die and the redrawn version of The Lord of the Pigs that was made some years before but never released since, the third contains Star Porks and The Thing that came from Outer Space, the fourth features Ghostwurstels and The Werevampire Graveyard and the fifth features Pigsty of the Caribbean and High Noon. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Zannablù (Comic Book) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The original version of The Secret of the Béchamel was actually a serious story with some lame jokes that transforms into a Star Wars parody with a random A Clockwork Orange reference in the middle. The remake is more like the other stories, and includes the original story in a shrunk format, with a disclaimer from the authors stating that it sucks compared to the other stories and you shouldn't read it. In the English release of Pigsty of the Caribbean, Zannablù's name is translated into Bluetusk. The other three issues instead keep the Italian name. | |

No Animals Were Harmed: Played in some volumes. In Dawn of The Porks: In Zannablù Must Not Die, Zannablù is forced to kill a tiger after an accident, but he fears that animalists will hunt him down. God solves the whole issue by giving him an actual sign saying "No animals were harmed to draw this panel" to stick in the right moment. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Zannablù (Comic Book) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Boars are discriminated from pigs in the first stories. They get equal opportunities at the end of the third volume. As of The Time Killers, you can remove the "Fantastic", since it's implied that in the 50's boars were treated exactly like black people in real life. | |

Political Overcorrectness | |
| Zannablù (Comic Book) / int_b6db5695 | comment |
Political Overcorrectness: In A Games of Cooks, when Zannablu's mother mentions that she was resurrected by a necromancer (in italian, "negromante"), the first half of the word is visibly censored under a quick series of black lines. Parodied in Eat: when one of the boys starts saying that the actions of the local skinheads are intollerant and can't be tollerated, his companions promptly points out that such an intollerance make him intollerant himself and such behaviour cannot be tollerated.... cue to the paradox giving birth to a devastating "Radical Chiclone". | |

Non-Standard Character Design | |
| Zannablù (Comic Book) / int_b8f5a02 | comment |
Nonstandard Character Design: In the Game of Thrones parody, Arya Stark is drawn as a pig version of Dora the Explorer. Also, the people of Iron Arm Island are all looking like Popeye. As in, kinda normal human beings in a world of anthropomorphic swines where every mammal has Floating Limbs. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Zannablù (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Lots of them. In Harry Porker, the Snape parody is called "Renato Python". This is a reference to the common joke between Italian fans about how much Alan Rickman as Snape looks like Italian singer Renato Zero in his later years. Also, Renato Python dresses like Renato Zero in his early years as a singer. Awater takes the "Na'vi=Giant Smurfs" gag to the extreme, calling the Neytiri parody "Na'pette", putting the classic Smurf hat on the Na'pigs and also showing Papa Na'pig, Brainy Na'pig, Hefty Na'pig and Grouchy Na'pig. The cover of Menace from the Menacing Planet shows Zannablù stuck in a Space Invaders screen. In Stranger Pigs, the kids are shown playing not Dungeons & Dragons but Deficients and Dragons, a reference to a parody fantasy comic published by the same editor as Zannablù. | |

Universal-Adaptor Cast | |
| Zannablù (Comic Book) / int_c7a9137e | comment |
Universal-Adaptor Cast: Played around. In the parody comics Giotto often takes the role of the original story's villain, while Zannablù sometimes takes the role of the main character (such as Luke in Star Porks, both Frodo and Aragorn in Lord of the Pigs, the Bride in Kill Pig or Desmond in Fatassin's Pig), but most of the time he is just himself in the middle of the story. Sometimes other characters also join in as in-story characters (an old boar called Ben was cast as Obi-Wan, Gandalf and Dumbledore, while the little pig Giacomino, who first appeared in Moron Fairytales, reappears in Stranger Pigs in the role of Will) | |

Parodies for Dummies | |
| Zannablù (Comic Book) / int_c8c2d4a3 | comment |
Parodies for Dummies: In Star Porks, Zannablù boasts that he is "an expert at driving spaceships", but he's seen reading Spaceship piloting for dummies in the pilot's seat just before takeoff. Later yet we see him with a copy of Spaceship piloting for dummies vol. 2: Starting the ship. | |

Self-Deprecation | |
| Zannablù (Comic Book) / int_c9597a03 | comment |
Self-Deprecation: The authors (under the name "Dentiblu") often take potshots at themselves. In Lord of the Pigs, for example, the gate to the Mines of Muoria they finally choose to cross forces the user to say that the Dentiblu comics are high quality comic books, with Zannablu vocally protesting. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| Zannablù (Comic Book) / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: In Dragonpork, Zannablù collects the Dragon Balls... and with Dragon Balls, he means the testicles of seven different dragons. (At least we just see Zannablù holding scissors and a bag, walking away from the dragon holding his groin in pain.) | |

Contrived Coincidence | |
| Zannablù (Comic Book) / int_dc579c91 | comment |
Contrived Coincidence: Zannablù gets involved with the Rampant Crocodile cult only because circumstances get him to say the right password each time. Those passwords are "The parrot has spoken", "Come on, Crazy Pig... just forget it" and "ahum... well... thanks". Another one in Kill Pig, where Zannablù manages to Kill Pig (actually Giotto) not with his strength, but because, in the same moment, a burly pig discovers that he's the one his wife cheats him with, a sniper shoots at him thinking he's a terrorist, the cook accidentally replaced salt with cyanide on his pizza, his pacemaker fails, an alien spaceship hits only him while trying to destroy the world and the authors of the comic just wanted do kill a character. | |

Running Gag | |
| Zannablù (Comic Book) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Bureaucrats can't get Zannablù's name right. "Fool who reads" is hidden into some panels. "Weren't ye dead?" "Me is back from ye now, as thy tide changes." Introduced in The Lord of the Pigs and now usual line exchange when a character comes Back from the Dead (or, at least, when the aforemented character disappears and Zannablù thinks he's dead) And also most of the stories have their own running gags. | |
