Fabuland Housewives

Fabuland Housewives is a Lego photo webcomic hosted on BrickZone.net. Unlike most LEGO webcomics, the characters aren't standard minifigs, but Funny Animal characters from Fabuland, a relatively obscure Lego theme from the 1980s.

As far as plot is concerned, Fabuland Housewives, is a spoof on the TV series Desperate Housewives, which means basically people (or animals for that matter) with lots of dark secrets living in a Stepford Suburbia.

""Don't have sex with Horace!" Lily: "I'll try, but no promises.""
 * Animal Jingoism - Being an elephant, Evan always freaks out at the sight of mice.
 * Animated Actors - Well, Lego-actors.
 * Amnesiac Dissonance
 * Anyone Can Die - And how.
 * Armoured Closet Gay -.
 * Attention Whore - Langston Lion.
 * Boom! Headshot! - Quite a few deaths.
 * Breaking the Fourth Wall - Some shortcomings of Lego-webcomics are acknowledged and played for laughs within the comic. (No knee joints for example.)
 * Cast Full of Gay - A large chunk of the male cast is gay in the comic.
 * Cat Scare - Played for laughs:
 * Cloudcuckoolander - Bianca Lamb, to a lesser extent also Gavin Gorilla.
 * Coming Out Story - Boris, early on. Though when word gets out through the gossip rags about his homosexuality, the town as a whole is completely accepting, and have no qualms with having a gay chief of police.
 * Crap Saccharine World - The inevitable result of the combination mentioned in Darker and Edgier.
 * Chromatic Arrangement - The four sisters Bianca, Lily, Lila and Lacey Lamb wear green, yellow, blue and red respectively. (Necessary due to Only Six Faces.)
 * The Danza - Bianca Lamb is supposedly played by Bianca Lamb. Everyone else only shares the Species Surname with his or her actor.
 * With one exception though: Special Agent Ernest Eagle is played by Sandy Seagull.
 * Darker and Edgier - Acting out "Desperate Housewives"-style plots with children's toys - so yeah...
 * Depraved Homosexual -
 * Extreme Doormat - Marcus Mouse.
 * Fantastic Racism - Alluded to, although no characters are really openly racist. Evan Elephant's violent reaction towards mice seems to be more instinctual behavior instead of based on prejudices.
 * Flash Back - Often used to give characters, who have already been killed off, some more screen time. Episode 15 even is a Whole-Episode Flashback.
 * Funny Animal - The entire cast.
 * Furry Confusion - Often played with.
 * In one strip, Gavin Gorilla encounters a non-anthropomorphic Lego monkey.
 * A character is suffering from amnesia and is thus called John Doe. He complains that he is no doe, he is a rabbit.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight because rabbits also have "bucks" and "does" like deers do.
 * Disgruntled with Governor Cora undermining his authority, Mayor Langston calls her a cow. Guess what species Governor Cora is...
 * Happily Married: Gavin and Gregor are one of the very few happy committed couples in the series, while they aren't officially married, Gavin does refer to Gregor as his husband.
 * Interspecies Romance - All over the place. Betsy Bunny and Randy Rabbit are in fact THE EXCEPTION!
 * Left Hanging - Most if not all the mysteries and cliffhangers in season one get wrapped up by the end. But the first episode of season two opens up a whole can of new mysteries. None of which get answered because a second episode has never been made.
 * Loads and Loads of Characters - After all, how else can you kill off so many without eventually running out of characters?
 * Medium Awareness: "We're building an alternate model."
 * The Mockbuster - The whole comic is a spoof on Desperate Housewives, which leads to...
 * A Worldwide Punomenon - "Welcome to Histeria Lane!"
 * Only Six Faces - Due to a limited number of head-moulds, characters can often be only told apart by their differently coloured bodies/clothes.
 * It doesn't help much when there are atleast 4 lambs, three of which have L names, and they all have a tendency to get involved in affairs.
 * Really Gets Around - Lily Lamb.
 * It doesn't help much when there are atleast 4 lambs, three of which have L names, and they all have a tendency to get involved in affairs.

 * Schedule Slip - The second season hasn't been updated in over a year, after the first episode was released revealing a heap of new cliff hangers.
 * Species Surname
 * Stepford Suburbia
 * Straight Gay: All of the gay men in the story seem to be this. The most flamboyant thing about any of them seems to be that Payton carries a wine glass around alot.
 * Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome - The baby Bianca finds in season one is a teenager in season two, although in-universe the time gap between the two seasons is only one year. Lampshaded by the explanation that animals grow up much faster than humans.
 * The Reveal -
 * Time Skip - Season two starts with the episode 365 Days Later
 * Took a Level In Badass - Would you have guessed that out of all people,
 * Will They or Won't They?: Through out season one Payton and Boris are constantly skirting around their feelings for each other.

 * Yandere -
