Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} ''[['''Garulfo]]''''' is a [[French Belgian Comic Books\|~~french~~French comic series]] written by Alain Ayroles (also ~~Author~~author of ''[[De Cape Etet Dede Crocs]])'' and illustrated by Bruno Maïorana , taking an humoristic take on [[Fairy Tales]] like ''[[De Cape Etet Dede Crocs]]'' did for the swashbuckling genre. Garulfo is a frog who cannot stand being at the bottom of the food chain, and worships mankind as the epitome of God's Creation. Inspired by the tale of "[[~~The Frog Prince (Literature)\|~~The Frog Prince]]" and with the help of a witch, he succeeds in being turned into a prince by the kiss of a handmaid he mistakenly believes to be a princess, and manages to make his entrance at he king's court. Unfortunately, he soon discovers [[Humans Are ~~Bastards~~the Real Monsters\|man's true nature]], and his ignorance of human society puts him in bigger trouble. The second [[Story Arc]] is based on the unwilling cooperation between the innocent Garulfo and Romuald, the irascible and vain prince turned into a frog to learn humility, so that Romuald kisses a princess and both beings find back their respective forms. {{tropelist}} ~~----~~ ~~=== This comic provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Affectionate Parody]]: Of fairy tales. Line 13 ⟶ 12: * [[Baleful Polymorph]]. * [[Berserk Button]]: Just don't break anything in the Ogre's cristal collection. * [[Blind Without 'Em]]: Anjalbert de Gonfalon is renown as ?The Famous Dragon Slayer? because he is too short-sighted to pick on monsters smaller than ogres. * [[Carnivore Confusion]]: lampshaded. * [[Cats Are Mean]]: After turning into a frog, Romuald comes across an [[Affably Evil]] cat. Line 28 ⟶ 27: * [[The Eeyore]]: Enguerrand's horse. * [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Jean Tortecagne the bandit has respect for the orphan of hanged ones. * [[~~Everythings~~Everything's Better ~~With~~with Princesses]]. * [[Fish Out of Water]]: More exactely rather Frog Out Of Water. * [[The Fool]]: Garulfo. * [[Fractured Fairy Tale]]. * [[~~The Frog Prince (Literature)\|~~The Frog Prince]]: Inverted. * [[Humans Are ~~Bastards~~the Real Monsters]]. * [[If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...]]: The reason of Noemie's inimity towards Garulfo. * [[~~Its~~It's All About Me]]. Prince Romuald. * [[Karmic Death]]. * [[Knight in Shining Armor]]: Deconstructed: apart from Anjalbert de Gonfalon, most of the knights are either incompetent, either conceited bullies. * [[Magic aA Is Magic A]]: The Law of Conservation of Magic: for every frog that turns into a prince, a prince turns into a frog , and ??vice-versa??. * [[No One Could Survive That]]: Once. Afterwards, people are [[Genre Savvy]] enough to assume that Garulfo has survived. * [[The Power of Love]]. Line 47 ⟶ 46: * [[Talking Animal]]: Except witches and fairies, humans can't understand animals. However, when in frog form, Romuald retains the ability to speak, and so does Garulfo when he reverts to his former self. * [[Totem Pole Trench]]: in order to get by unquestioned, the heroes wrap themselves in a moldy shroud, shaking a clacker and moaning "Leper! Leper!". Then they meet a [[Genre Savvy]] guard, who knows better than to back away, and knocks off the hood... to see a pair of bulbous yellow eyes on a wizened green body. He runs, fast. * [[The Un -Reveal]]: Today, the [[Black Knight]] will show you his face? * [[What Do You Mean ~~Its~~It's Not Awesome?]]: In a simple frog's perspective, a humble peasant catching a pike appears like a titan vanquishing a fearsome monster. {{reflist}} [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Comic Books]] [[Category:Franco -Belgian Comics]] [[Category:~~Garulfo~~Comic Books of the 1990s]] [[Category:~~Trope~~Comic Books of the 2000s]] [[Category:Comic Books of the 2010s]]
