Line 10:
Achille Talon, according his author, ''"knows everything and improvises the rest of it. Apart of this, he's generous, petty, pacifist, aggressive, progressist, bourgeois, selfless, jealous, intrepid and a bit of a coward. In sum, honest and brave just like you and me..."''
The comic book was translated for different markets in the 80's and published in English under the title ''[[Walter Melon]]'' with little success, as it was so specifically French by its main character and its language. Readers hardly understood Talon's favorite interjections, "hop !" and "bof..." which simply express positive/negative moods.

Line 33:
* [[Darkest Africa]]: Lampshaded in ''Le coquin de sort'' (and somehow parodies ''[[Tintin|Tintin in the Congo]]''). All inhabitants of Doduduba ("Fatinbottom") speak an absolutely perfect French and the primitive bush village where everybody walks around half-naked with spears has a big contract with a pet food canning plant in Chicago.
* [[Depraved Dentist]]
* [[Doing
* [[Eagle Land]]
* [[Easy Amnesia]]: [[Shout-Out|Colorado Jules]] in ''Le trésor de Virgule''. Got a [[Tap on the Head]] that made him forget only a ''part'' of the information about the treasure. Immediately parodied by Virgule who argues him and tells him he's "of bad faith".
* [[Expy]]: Saint-Ogan's ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20190613221339/http://www.bedetheque.com/Couvertures/MonsieurPoche2_17082005.jpg Monsieur Poche]''.
* [[Fatherland]]: Zôtrland in the album ''Le Roi des Zôtres''
* [[Flowery Insults]]: Achille and Lefuneste often try to outdo one another in that regard.
Line 78:
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Fo-Pli.
* [[Our Gargoyles Rock]]: Gargouilla-la-gargouille in ''L'âge ingrat''.
* [[Overly Polite Pals]]: In one comic, both continuously insist the other go first, but here the stalemate goes on until they're both late, leading to a Big Ball of Violence. Amusingly, this came about after Achille read a book on etiquette, and it turns out the other guy was the author.
* [[Papa Wolf]]: Papa Talon. Keeps an eye opened and a beer with the other.
* [[Police Are Useless]]: Greg didn't like them and projected a part of himself in Papa Talon who keeps a flag of the "Wild Anarchists Federation" in the attic.
