| Zipi y Zape (Comic Book) | comment |
Zipi y Zape are the names of two iconic Spanish comic book characters created by José Escobar Saliente in 1947, and of their eponymous strip. With Mortadelo y Filemón, they are the most popular and most translated Spanish comic books. Their name is derived from the Spanish word zipizape, meaning "turmoil" or "chaos". This word is seriously outdated though and most people under 60/70 will probably think of the comic book if you say it.Zipi and Zape are young twin brothers who do poorly in school. Mischievous and energetic, they are fans of soccer. They are distinguished solely by their hair color: Zipi is blond, Zape black-haired. Other featured characters are their father, Mr. Pantuflo, a professor of philately and Colombophilia; their mother, the hard-pressed Mrs. Jaimita; Mr. Minervo, their strict teacher; Peloto, the teacher’s pet (and thus the twins’ enemy); SapientÃn, their genius cousin, and Toby, their faithful dog. There's also Carpanta, the perpetually-hungry hobo who would do anything for some roast chicken, and his surprisingly-fat-for-a-hobo philosopher friend Protasio.Their stories are usually short, about one to eight pages long, but occasionally some are longer, about 44 or 48 pages. They are humorous, based on the twins' antics and their effects, since often they backfire spectacularly.The popularity of Zipi y Zape has prompted the creation of derivative works, like video games, an animated TV series in 2003 — which was wrapped up with Direct to Video animation film Las monstruosas aventuras de Zipi y Zape in 2005 — and three live-action movies, Las Aventuras de Zipi y Zape in 1981, Zipi y Zape y el club de la canica in 2013 and Zipi y Zape y la isla del capitán in 2016. | |

Half-Identical Twins | |
| Zipi y Zape (Comic Book) / int_116a648e | comment |
Half-Identical Twins: Zipi and Zape look exactly the same... except for their hair color. Lampshaded in one instance when they reveal that they were both born black-haired but Zipi's wearing a blonde wig. Jaimita complains that their revelation might have costed them the job. In one episode, the twins have a sudden crush on their neighbour Lupita, and simultaneously confess to her. When Lupita tells them that she doesn't like blondes, Zipi just dyes his hair black with a marker. He even comments: "It's the end of being two-coloured twins. Now we are identical". | |

Self-Plagiarism | |
| Zipi y Zape (Comic Book) / int_116f6f1c | comment |
Self-Plagiarism: In the late '80s Escobar started a new series about, wait for it... two brothers with different hair colors, Terre and Moto (Terremoto, "Earthquake") who, huh, were mischievous but kind and smart and went to school and had adventures. Apparently, Escobar had a falling out with his old publisher but they had the rights to Zipi y Zape, so he decided to start a new IP as similar as possible to his old one. The new series wasn't exactly successful and Escobar was back to drawing Zipi y Zape before long. | |

The same happened in the first color ones. Punishments included throwing them into a lion-infested room, sending them packed into a satellite to the stratosphere, or fusing both brothers into one, so Pantuflo would always know who did all mischiefs. | |

Unexpectedly Obscure Answer: Deliberately set up by the twins in Olimpiadas escolares, when trying to prevent a rival team from winning a sports quiz show. They disguise as the show's secretary and present an envelope to the host containing the question "What is the name of the mother of the Zaire national team's goalkeeper?" Obviously, the rival team fails to figure it out. | |

Annoying Arrows | |

Annoying Arrows: The twins are attacked with arrows twice in "El tonel del tiempo", during their trips to Ancient Greece and the Middle Ages. These attacks happen when they are already running back to the barrel, and the arrows seem to just disappear when they cross back into the present, which makes them fully healthy again. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
| Zipi y Zape (Comic Book) / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
The bad publicity may be due to Characterization Marches On. In earlier stories, the twins were slightly more mischievous and more prone to perform pranks such as tying cans to dog tails. In later stories (the ones that are easier to find and everyone remembers), this trait is dropped, but the citizens' reaction to their pranks isn't. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Zipi y Zape (Comic Book) / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Sometimes, Zipi and Zape are chastised for really stupid reasons, one notably one is when Mrs. Jaimita punish them to cutting grass in the garden just because they didn't know how to use a flypaper. And Jaimita is by far the nicest one of the parents. Pantuflo, the father, borders on the Abusive Parents trope, as he's able to punish them for things they've clearly done not deliberately just as if they've done that way, and sometimes for things he's actually the one to blame. | |

Human Doorstop | |
| Zipi y Zape (Comic Book) / int_652a1738 | comment |
Human Doorstop: Used occassionally in older strips, when one or both of the twins would be punished to hold books in both arms for some form of school mischief. Truth in Television, as this sort of punishment was usual in Spanish schools during the time the Franco regime laws allowed it. In one strip, after they were punished as human doorstops for stealing apples from a farmer, such farmer and their teacher decided to use both brothers and other children as living scarecrows, punishing them such way in a crop field and taking advantage of how their cries scared away birds trying to eat the seeds. | |

Adaptation Decay: Bolete, a somewhat overweight kid introduced in the brief Ramis-Cera age of the comic books, suffered of this in the animated series. He was turned into a dumber and fatter version of himself with serious hygiene issues; and on top of that, he was renamed Puag — which in Spanish is an expression of disgust similar to "Yuck" or "Ewww". | |

You Can't Get Ye Flask | |
| Zipi y Zape (Comic Book) / int_8c83208f | comment |
You Can't Get Ye Flask: On a game based on the comic books, apparently you had to drop a nail so that your father sits on it and wounds himself with it and drops a patch. The thing is, people tried lots of variations of "drop nail" or "put nail near father" without any progress. It took SEVENTEEN years until someone with programming knowledge hacked the game files and found out that the exact code had to be "throw nail under tree". As if nails had to be thrown, or anything could be put under trees. Let's all play nail throw! You can find the whole thing explained, if you can read Spanish, in here.. | |

Timey-Wimey Ball | |
| Zipi y Zape (Comic Book) / int_8d23f3a7 | comment |
Timey-Wimey Ball: All the story about the time travel machine built in a barrel revolves around this trope. In the first chapter, the twins use it to transform a wall lizard into its evolutionary ancestor (which turns out to be a crocodile). In all the other chapters, the twins use it themselves; it no longer makes anything appear in the present time, but depending on the chapter, it either just takes them to the past, or somehow transforms them in their ancestor (and, somehow, with all the knowledge and remembrances that those ancestors have). In one chapter, when their mother makes an omelette with an egg found in the past, the twins remark that its strange look is due to the fact that the egg had over two hundred years, even though the time travel should have prevented the egg from aging. Finally, in the last chapter, the twins get trapped in the future when their machine gets broken; strangely, in a rare example of a inverted San Dimas Time, it's said that house prices were getting higher because of the twins' absence. | |

Been There, Shaped History | |
| Zipi y Zape (Comic Book) / int_9a1d239e | comment |
Been There, Shaped History: In 'El tonel del tiempo' ("The barrel of time"), the twins timetravel to Ancient Egypt and construct a prosthetic nose for Queen Cleopetra, who is upset on her really ugly nose, inspired on the Great Sphinx of Giza. She then orders the complete destruction of everything that is more beautiful than her new nose, so Zipi and Zape deface the sphinx to prevent it from being completely demolished. | |

Rousing Speech: Combined with flashbacks for hilarious effect in the Ramis-Cera age story Olimpiadas escolares. The twins, Peloto, SapientÃn and Bolete are in Brazil to play a futsal match against some members of Brazil's national soccer team. At halftime, the Brazilian squad is curb-stomping them 5-0 and Pantuflo decides to step in: | |

Sticky Situation | |

Sticky Situation: Happens often as a result of the twins' mischief. In one instance, Mr. Pantuflo brings a paper cut-out toy house for Zipi and Zape, but won't allow the kids to assemble it until they have finished their homework. As expected, the twins do just a bit of work, then proceed to cut and assemble the house using superglue. When they hear their father is approaching to check on their homework, they put the paper house under the table and hide the glue... under their butts. Mr. Pantuflo soon discovers that that they are glued to the chairs, and leaves them there until they finish their homework. | |

Informed Flaw | |
| Zipi y Zape (Comic Book) / int_af2547c9 | comment |
Informed Flaw: The twins have bad publicity and some stories show the citizens running away in panic from Zipi and Zape as if they were terrorists or horrible monsters. In reality, Zipi and Zape are two of the nicest characters in the comics, and they always want to help people. Besides, their father is always telling off his children how they are going to fail at every possible way in their life. He doesn't seem to realize how incredibly intelligent they are. Come on, in one story they even managed to create a vaporizer able to enlarge or shrink objects! The bad publicity may be due to Characterization Marches On. In earlier stories, the twins were slightly more mischievous and more prone to perform pranks such as tying cans to dog tails. In later stories (the ones that are easier to find and everyone remembers), this trait is dropped, but the citizens' reaction to their pranks isn't. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Zipi y Zape (Comic Book) / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
And Jaimita is by far the nicest one of the parents. Pantuflo, the father, borders on the Abusive Parents trope, as he's able to punish them for things they've clearly done not deliberately just as if they've done that way, and sometimes for things he's actually the one to blame. | |

Negative Continuity | |
| Zipi y Zape (Comic Book) / int_bd8aa92a | comment |
Mr. Pantuflo often tells Zipi and Zape off because of their bad marks on school, telling them he always got A. One story, however, revealed he never achieved more than a B. Although whether this is canonical is questionable, the fact is that Pantuflo is always depicted as having trouble at the time of helping Zipi and Zape with their homework. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure: Once in a blue moon, Mr Pantuflo stops being a prick to his sons and actually attempts to provide Zipi and Zape with useful advice and teach them life lessons. For instance, in a story, after the twins get another F, Mr Pantuflo tries to convince them of the importance of hard work and surpassing your limits. Unfortunately, it fails spectacularly because Zipi and Zape ends up assuring that they really work hard... on getting F marks. | |

One of the best examples is a story where he is trying to get tobacco without success. At the end, seeing that he will not be able to get a cigarette, Mr Pantuflo starts crying and whining like a little child. Zipi and Zape even tell him that they are ashamed of him. | |
