Artistic License – Linguistics: Chinese is described as a language where you can say anything with the same sentence, just by changing the tone. While tone is relevant in fluent Chinese-speaking, there is definitely an extensive vocabulary with varied sounds.

Ching Chong: The Giant with Red Socks and the Chinese Wizard communicate by saying the same "Yong tchotchotcho kong kong ngo" phrase, because you can apparently say whatever you want with it, only by changing the tone.

Blessed with Suck: The Water Tap Fairy grants a little girl the ability to spit pearls for every word she says. Problem is, her parents decide to keep her at home as a jewel-maker. Belivitornot is a handsome Hunk and a Genius Bruiser gifted with Complete Immortality, and a name so stupid he spends millennia as a laughing stock.

Holding Back the Phlebotinum
 Contes de la rue Broca / int_87f943a7
comment
Holding Back the Phlebotinum: The Giant with Red Socks wants to marry Mireille, who is normal-sized, but is denied from doing so because he could never enter the church for the wedding. He says he could transform the church to make it bigger, but is denied from doing so as it would be "cheating". And so he is off to a quest to become human-sized.

comment
Been There, Shaped History: Belivitornot fights the Romans during Gaul times but his thunder is taken by Vercingetorix, fights the Arabs around 732 but his glory is taken by Charles Martel... he basically wins most great battle events in French history, but his name is too silly for anybody to respect and remember him.

Rotten Rock & Roll: The acoustic guitar from Love Story of a Potato used to be played by a human, until it got replaced by an electric guitar and thrown away. The description of the musician-turned-rock-singer makes him sound quite unsympathetic.
