A newspaper comic strip by William Edward "Bill" Tidy, published in the London Daily Mirror from 1971 to 1984.Taking the form of a generational family story, the strip follows the Fosdyke family, who at the start become the biggest manufacturers of tripenote a genuine item of food, made from bovine intestines and a big part of the working class diet, but the word also means "nonsense" in Manchester, and thereafter expand their industry and defend it from Roger Ditchley, who thinks he should have inherited it. Most of the strip covers the interwar period, though Rule of Funny trumps historical accuracy.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The concept is a parody of The Forsyte Saga, a trio of novels following the intrigues of an upper-class family over the decades. Over its length, the strip parodies just about every genre of the time, such as war films, adventure serials, film noir and even vampire fiction. While the cast travelled the world, they would always return to the working-class industrial landscape of northern England where Bill Tidy grew up.Some of the strip can be seen on the author's Web site. | |

Green Rocks: Tripe here has every possible weird property. Not only is it a healthy diet on its own, and forms the basis for all the world's best cuisine, it can destroy "vampigs", be skied upon at incredible speeds, make wings for unpowered flight, and one Mad Scientist even makes artificial life from it. And it's been around for most of human history. | |

Mundane Made Awesome: The family's promotion of tripe. They send symbolic crates of it to the ends of the world, collect tripe relics, ward off vampires with tripe, and fight competitors in violent street brawls. The First World War, on the other hand, is a polite gentlemen's scuffle. | |
