The adventures center mostly on adolescent foxes Fix and Foxi who live with their uncle in a small town of unspecific location called Fuxholzen. Other characters of note are the chronically lazy Lupo (a fan favorite and breakout character with his own comic book), old maid Eusebia with her granddaughter Lupinchen, and mad scientist Professor Knox.

Lupo eventually got his own spin-off series, ''Lupos tolle Touren'', published in his own ''Lupo'' magazine. The series features him as the only ''Fix und Foxi'' character along with the young GadgeteerGenius Einstein in several {{Story Arc}}s.

Added DiffLines:
* MeaningfulName: Einstein, the young but super-smart GadgeteerGenius, and Der Schatten (The Shadow) who only ever appears as that, both in ''Lupos tolle Touren''.
Added DiffLines:
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Einstein offers the Mofia to modify their DrillTank so its engine can run on the excavated soil. At first, it looks like this trope is being PlayedStraight, but while Einstein is at it, he re-programs the vehicle in such a way that, instead of cracking the basement of the casino, it drills its way all the way through France into England where the gangsters are arrested.
Added DiffLines:
* StoryArc: ''Lupos tolle Touren'' is made up of a number of these. Just to name two, the first has him and his new sidekick Einstein chase after the [[TheMafia Mofia]] kingpin Der Schatten (The Shadow) in many countries all over the world, and the second one has them (especially Lupo, that is) wreak havoc on the railroad.

* BadassDriver: Eusebia.
* BlindWithoutEm: Knox.
* BreakoutCharacter: Fix and Foxi of course, originally appearing in another magazine, but also Lupo whose popularity sometimes exceeded the two main characters. Lupo even eventually got his own comic book series targeted at a slightly older audience.
