| Sir Apropos of Nothing | comment |
Every heroic fantasy has its hero - the dashing, handsome, fearless warrior who will rush into battle, slaughter the forces of evil, secure in the knowledge that he will save the day and win the favor of the (always beautiful and virginal) princess of the land, and live happily ever after.This series is not about that guy.This is about the sidekick.Apropos is the son of a prostitute, born of a gang-rape by a bunch of drunk knights, and his mother is convinced that the universe has Great Things planned for him. Apropos is sick of hearing the word "destiny" being bandied about, and he would rather save his own skin than the world. It's a comedy.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })There are currently four books in the Sir Apropos of Nothing series by Peter David. Sir Apropos of Nothing The Woad to Wuin Tong Lashing Pyramid SchemesThere is also a five-issue comics miniseries published by IDW, called "Gypsies, Vamps, and Thieves", which picks up the story after Tong Lashing, and a short story, "Sir Apropos of Nothing and the Adventure of the Receding Heir," taking place years after the rest of the series. | |

| Sir Apropos of Nothing / int_47fea76b | comment |
Butt-Monkey: Apropos again. Many of the horrors and indignities he is subjected to are the result of Laser-Guided Karma; everybody else got away with something, but the one time he cheated, he got caught and got screwed. Many more are completely out of the blue. | |

Deconstruction | |
| Sir Apropos of Nothing / int_8ae880f7 | comment |
Deconstruction: Exploring the role of the hero from the point of view of someone who's not a hero. That and slapping several high fantasy tropes in the face. | |
