'''''Tif et Tondu''''' is a Belgian comic book series that currently counts 45 albums. It was originally created by Fernand Dineur in 1938 in the ''Spirou'' magazine. The art was eventually handled by Willy "Will" Maltaite, and several writers followed. Maurice Rosy would be the most influentinfluential one. The series ended in 1997 with Alain Sikorski (art) and Denis [[Lapi Ã]]¨reLapière (writing).
 
The plot is about two short fat guys called Tif and Tondu, a bald guy and a hairy and bearded guy. In the very beginning, Tif was on his own and a few weeks later, he met Tondu.

----
Some of the tropes used are:
* [[Coat, Hat, Mask]]: Monsieur Choc, with his tuxedo and helmet.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: The last albums, which tended to more realistic storylines such as Tif and Tondu dealing with a hostage crisis.
* [[Everything Is Better With Monkeys]]: {{spoiler|John Fullshoke in ''The Shadow Without A Body''}}.
* [[Everything Is's Even Worse Withwith Sharks]]: {{spoiler|Monsieur Choc about to get eaten by one in the very last panel of ''Choc 235''}}.
* [[Evil Is Cool]]: Monsieur Choc, the villain, is by far the most popular character in the series and the recent re-releases focus on him and feature him prominently on the cover.
* [[The Faceless]]: Monsieur Choc.
Line 29 ⟶ 28:
* [[Odd Couple]]: Tif and Tondu themselves.
* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: The villains dressing up as snakes in ''Tif and Tondu Versus The Cobra''.
* [[Ridiculously -Human Robots]]: In ''Magdalena''.
* [[Robot Girl]]: The titular ''Magdalena''. Her creator locked himself in a room for hours with her, supposedly to enjoy her company. Subverted as {{spoiler|she is not a sentient robot but a portal to a world populated with [[Ridiculously -Human Robots]] who dress like a Masquerade Ball}}.
* [[Rubber Man]]: Tif turns into one in a two-album story arc (''The Green Matter'' and ''Tif Bounces Back'').
* [[Strip Poker]]: Tif plays strip-dart-throwing with a woman. At first, she cheats by giving him unbalanced darts, but he gets better... and she's a sore loser.
