[[Soda]] is a European comic strip written by [[Philippe Tome]], with art from [[Luc Warnant]] for the first two books and from book 3 onwards [[Bruno Gazzotti]]. It elegantly mixes serious business, religious themes (often tongue in cheek or parodied), guns and the results of their use, extremely spectacular accidents, and humour. [[Soda]] is likely one of those comics that could only come into existence outside the United States, as it has all the elements to totally infuriate any religious person.

{{examples|Examples:}}
 
* [[Acrofatic]] - "Baleinos".
* [[All Men Are Perverts]] - An incident with Babs.
* [[American Churches]]
* [[Anti -Hero]]
* [[As the Good Book Says]] - Of course.
* [[Auto Erotica]] - Soda and Linda in a BMW Z1 without a roof in the rain: referred to as a bathtub. Complete with interruption by cop (who asks if he should film everything and sell the story to Real Police Stories).
Line 26:
* [[Da Chief]] - Soda's first boss, Bergamo.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]] - Soda. Also his father, who was a sheriff in Providence.
* [[Did Mom Just Have Tea With Cthulhu?]]: Soda comes across a [[Contract Killer|hit man]] he was after--amiably chatting with his mother.
* [[Did Not Do the Research]] - Very much averted in most cases. In those cases it is not, this is likely intentional.
* [[Disability Superpower]] - In the 11th book, an accident causes Soda to become {{spoiler|[[Easy Amnesia|amnesiac]].}} As a result, he starts to behave like a {{spoiler|real stereotypical, perfect priest}}.
Line 38:
* [[Guns Akimbo]] - And how. Once combined with a coffee cup.
* [[Guns in Church]]
* [[Highly -Conspicuous Uniform]] - Soda wears a priest's suit and carries a [[Hand Cannon|large gun]]. Lampshaded repeatedly.
* [[Hot Rod]] - Some vehicles.
* [[Human Shield]]
Line 58:
* [[Sniper Rifle]] - Usually used by [[Career Killers|killers for hire]].
* [[Stop or I Will Shoot]]
* [[Southern -Fried Private]] - If one were to take this comic strip seriously, Columbine-style shoot-outs caused by priest-uniform-wearing cops would be daily world news. On the other hand, most non-gun-toting things are portrayed fairly realistically.
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]
* [[Thememobile]] - ''[[Nitro Boost|High Performance]] [[Improbably Cool Car|Three-wheeled Police]] [[Hot Rod|Scooter]]'' [[Hot Pursuit|chasing]] [[Cool Bike|trike]] at over 60 miles an hour in rush-hour New York. Yes, it ends with a massive accident that kills one bad guy and [[Car Meets House|leads to the above-mentioned]] [[Disability Superpower]].
Line 64:
* [[Trigger Happy]] - More than one character.
* [[Watch the Paint Job]] - What?
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]] - Soda, sort of. His father told him he'd be a man once he managed to throw a horseshoe on a clock so it flipped around and landed on top. When he finally succeeds, he finds a posthumous letter from his father, who he was always ashamed of {{spoiler|taking bribes as sheriff}}.
* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]] - At the moment a policeman died, a policeman-shaped balloon in a parade broke its tethers and flew away.
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]] - The mistress of New York City's mayor turns out to be a man.
