[[File:Achille_Talon_1.jpg|frame|<small>That short guy he's leaning on? That's [[Rene Goscinny (Creator)|Rene Goscinny]].</small> ]]
 
 
Line 32:
* [[Cliff Hanger]]: Copiously lampshaded at the end of many a page in the longer stories, and sometimes even played straight.
* [[Da Editor]]: Goscinny. Albeit one who is happy to use axes and sledgehammers to reprimand [[Schedule Slip|late authors.]]
* [[Darkest Africa]]: Lampshaded in ''Le coquin de sort'' (and somehow parodies ''[[Tintin (Comic Book)|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 in Thethe Wizard]]: The album ''L'esprit d'Eloi'' (A pun on Montesquieu's "The spirit of the laws"). There is no ghost, of course.
* [[Eagle Land]]
* [[Easy Amnesia]]: [[Shout-Out|Colorado Jules]] in ''Le trésor de Virgule''. Got a [[Tap Onon 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 ''[http://www.bedetheque.com/Couvertures/MonsieurPoche2_17082005.jpg Monsieur Poche]''.
* [[Fatherland]]: Zôtrland in the album ''Le Roi des Zôtres''
Line 51:
** Naughty tentacles are invoked in a simile.
** "L'Etang Tacule" is a spoonerism for "The state screws you in the ass".
* [[Grievous Harm Withwith a Body]]: Often.
* [[Hilarity Ensues]]: Every time Talon tries [[Epic Fail|to take an initiative]].
* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: And it ''never'' stops. The title character himself is a pun (from Achilles' Heel).
Line 63:
* [[Loyal Animal Companion]]: Pétard, Achille Talon's pet duck. Originally given as an ill-thought-out thank-you present, Talon resented it as such, but he eventually warmed to it.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Dr Grelot and his three 600-year-old guinea pigs of longevity experience. The gag is that the victims of the experience... go mad.
* [[Mama Bear]]: Don't cross Achille's mother. [[Never Mess Withwith Granny|She may look like a sweet old lady, but she packs a mean punch]].
* [[Mean Boss]]: [[Rene Goscinny]] (the creator of [[Asterix]]) is depicted as a [[The Napoleon|perpetually angry, short and violence-prone]] editor-in-chief.
* [[Meddlesome Patrolman]]: Agent Dussiflet or his peers get to slap a fine on Achille Talon, or drag him in handcuffs to the local police precinct, on more than one occasion.
