comment
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Niklas and Friends is a discontinued coming-of-age webcomic whose author used the pseudonym "Niklas Edlund". The comic, site and author were criticized for supposedly promoting pedophilia even though none of the stories contain anything related to that. The stories do have a minor GLBT component but this is deliberately left vague and mainly up to the reader.The site was started in 1998 and was last updated in 2006 after the author ceased working on the comic due to threats and abuse.

Aliens Speaking English: At first Jahv and Keyro don’t speak English, but thanks to their telepathic powers they are able to learn it very quickly.

Starfish Language
 Niklas and Friends (Webcomic) / int_115b9907
comment
Starfish Language: The Botaran language sounds like radio static. Used to explain why we never intercepted any radio transmission from aliens: we were actually hearing them all the time, but we didn't recognize them as such.

comment
No Biochemical Barriers: Played with. When Jahv first arrives on Earth and is offered some food by his new friends, Niklas worries that Earth Food might be dangerous for him. Eventually averted when Jahv’s analyzer determines that most Earth Food is safe for Botarians. Only cheese, peanuts, peanut butter, and cola are off limits.

The Greys: They are briefly discussed once. They are known throughout the universe as “space roaches” and are infamous for abducting and probing the inhabitants of many planets. Earth is just one of their targets.

Abusive Alien Parents
 Niklas and Friends (Webcomic) / int_6282a6d6
comment
Abusive Alien Parents: In Botarian society, parents are not allowed or supposed to show any kind of love or affection of their offspring. They provide them with food, shelter, and when needed clothing, but that is just about it. It’s the main reason Jahv and Keyro ran away from home. We later learn from Jahv that Botarians are unique in this aspect, as other alien species do love their children.

Holodeck
 Niklas and Friends (Webcomic) / int_bd829958
comment
Holodeck: One of Jahv’s many inventions is the holocron, which can create a holographic representation of almost any environment. He uses it to show his human friends what his homeworld is like. It comes with a Holodeck Malfunction when they run into a seamonster called the Legend of the Lake, which wasn’t supposed to be in the program but was put in there by somebody as a ‘joke’.

comment
Exposed Extraterrestrials: Among Botarians, it’s custom for children to only wear clothes for special occasions like spaceflight, but otherwise go naked all the time. As such, Jahv and Keyro usually don't wear clothes. Keyro even feels rather uncomfortable around clothed humans. Adult Botarians avert the trope.

Expy: The Botarans are expies of the Andorians from Star Trek. The difference is that Botarans come in all colors (not just pale blue) and their skin color is not a genetic trait (so a green Botaran can have a purple brother).

Covered in Mud: Often some characters end up like that, either because they were just playing in it, because they fell in it unexpectedly, or because they were trying an alien spa.

Aliens Steal Cable: Earth TV and radio programs are picked up by many alien races, some of which greatly enjoy these shows to the point that they even create remakes of them. In “Interlude”, Niklas and Davy find Jahv watching an alien remake of Gilligan's Island.
