Line 55:
* [[Break the Haughty]]: Orchestrated by Frank in the first album when concerning Victor joining the gang, putting him through tests to take his ego down and integrate himself in the town. It didn't work, but Victor joins the Frank's Gang anyway.
** One could argue the whole series is trying to do this for [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist|Victor]].
* [[Brick Joke]]: In the third album's longest story, Frank makes a joke at his sister Francesca's expense by telling her [[Big Friendly Dog|Victor's dog Chopped]] is someone suited for her. Four pages later, we see her playing with said dog, and looking happy about it.
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: Lupo is slow due to his constant sleepiness, but he is very far from being stupid, as it shows that he’s very witty
* [[The Bully]]: Quasim is the fearsome bully of Villa Susto, being a [[Dumb Muscle|dumb]] [[The Brute|brute]] with [[Super Strength]] who picks on little kids (particularly poor [[The Cutie|Gus]]). The only one who has been able to knock him out is Henrietta's evil [[Split Personality]] [[Jekyll and Hyde|Miss Hit]].
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Frank and Henrietta definitely have feelings for each other, but they can't tell their feelings because of [[Twice Shy|shyness]]. Also, {{spoiler|Henrietta's alter-ego}} Miss Hit does not help at all. Unsurprisingly, all people think [[Everyone Can See It|they're a couple]], and Frank constantly [[She Is Not My Girlfriend|denies it]].
Line 61 ⟶ 62:
** The cover of the second album [http://dreamers.com/davidramirez/PortadillaMiniMonsters2.jpg confirms this].
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: A lot of the characters in the comic had shown progress and depths starting with the second album.
* [[Cheaters Never Prosper]]: The fourth album has a straight example. While the [[Opposing Sports Team|Muerte Chunga Team]] does manage to score by cheating, {{spoiler|not only they get caught and punished for it, but one of the cheating objects is used by the Fresita Team to score the winning goal.}}
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: This is used a lot in the album's plot arcs.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Again, also used in the story-driven albums.
Line 208 ⟶ 210:
* [[Toilet Humour]]: The comic has a lot of this, mixed with Spanish humor and [[Black Comedy]]. Well, considering the author's sense of humor is based on [[Akira Toriyama]]'s...
* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: Victor to the Frank's Gang, being the local [[Jerkass]] in a gang of [[Nice Guy]]s. Also Morty to Mr. Abra's class, being [[The Sociopath]] in a class when they're jerks at worst.
* [[Token Good Teammate]]: Mienai to Morty's Gang. He's not a saint, but he's undeniably the nicest and most friendly member in a gang full of [[jerkass|jerkasses]]
* [[True Beauty Is on the Inside]]: Parodied in "El Perfeccionator". Frank tries to defend himself over his sister and best friend's (who is Lupo's older sister) mean comments about his physical appearance with this. It doesn't work out.
* [[True Companions]]: The Frank's Gang are portrayed as a close-knit group both in the comics proper and official artwork.
