The series started with a young girl named Louise (nicknamed "Wiske"), who lived with her brother Rikki and their aunt Sidonia. After their first adventure in the land of Chocowakije, Rikki [[Brother Chuck|vanished from the series]], and Wiske was instead joined by the young boy Franciscus Antigoon of Amoras (nicknamed "Suske"), who was adopted into her family. After Vandersteen handed the series to his successors the quality of the stories gradually went downhill to the point that it has less and less to do with the original set-up.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Mr. Van Zwollem is completely mad and is aided by his daughter Anne-Marie.

* [[Comic Book Time]]: The characters never age, although Suske and Wiske were originally a lot younger, almost toddlers with babylegs. [[Depending on the Writer]], they're estimated age would range from early teens to young adults.

* [[Contemporary Caveman]]: Jerom was originally a frozen villain from the Stone Age, but later became part of the cast. In many of the early albums he was always dressed as a caveman. Later he changed his outfit and became more civilized, in a rare example of [[Character Development]] for a main cast member.

* [[Conveniently an Orphan]]: Wiske has no parents and is raised by her aunt, Sidonia. Suske too is an orphan and is adopted by Sidonia. Vandersteen often told interviewers that he gave Suske and Wiske an aunt because real parents would never allow them to go on adventure. Indeed, Suske and Wiske never go to school, though they'd sometimes mention homework.
