Fabuland Housewives

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

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.

Tropes used in Fabuland Housewives include:

"Don't have sex with Horace!" Lily: "I'll try, but no promises."

  • Scenery Porn - Quality photography, terrific MOCs!
  • 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
  • Invisible to Gaydar: 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 - Doctor Dalton is gay! ... also the killer too, but whatever.
  • 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, meek confidenceless Butt Monkey (Butt Mouse??) Marcus Mouse would be the new mayor in season two?
  • Will They or Won't They?: Through out season one Payton and Boris are constantly skirting around their feelings for each other.
  • Yaoi Guys: Gavin, Boris, Gregor, Payton, and Fenix. Though Gavin and Gregor seem to be the main official couple out of all them.
  • Yandere - Fenix
