** Another one in ''Kill Pig'', where Zannablù manages to [[TitleDrop Kill Pig]] (actually Giotto) not with his strength, but because, in the same moment, a burly pig discovers that he's the one his wife cheats him with, a sniper shoots at him thinking he's a terrorist, the cook accidentally replaced salt with cyanide on his pizza, his pacemaker fails, an alien spaceship hits only him while trying to destroy the world and [[NoFourthWall the authors of the comic just wanted do kill a character]].


Added DiffLines:

* EverybodyLaughsEnding: Discussed in ''Indiana Porks''.
--> '''Zannablù''': Ah ah ah! ...but why we are laughing?
--> '''Indiana Porks''': Because this is the last scene.
--> '''Zannablù''': Ah ah ah! ...I don't get the joke.

* NonstandardCharacterDesign: In the ''Game of Thrones'' parody, Arya Stark is drawn as a pig version of WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer.
** Also, the people of Iron Arm Island are all looking like WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}}. As in, kinda normal human beings in a world of anthropomorphic swines where every mammal haves RaymanianLimbs.

* RefugeInAudacity: In ''Dragonpork'', Zannablù collects the Dragon Balls... and with ''Dragon Balls'', he means ''the testicles of seven different dragons''. ([[TakeOurWordForIt At least we just see Zannablù holding scissors and a bag, escaping from the dragon holding his groin in pain]].)

Added DiffLines:

** "Weren't you dead?" "I'm back from you know, as the tide changes." Introduced in ''The Lord of the Pigs'' and now usual line exchange when a character comes BackFromTheDead (or, at least, when the aforemented character disappears and Zannablù thinks he's dead)


Added DiffLines:

* TranslationYes: Played a lot in ''A Game of Cooks'' with his own version of the Dothraki language (actually Florence dialect with a weird spelling).

* CompilationRerelease: The volume with the fully colored reprints of ''The Secret of the Béchamel'' and ''Harry Porker''. The latter also slightly changes the single line of dialogue of Phyton (see ShoutOut below) to make the reference joke more clear.


Added DiffLines:

* GainaxEnding: Played in ''Maialost'', where Zannablù discovers that the whole story was actually a TV show and he couldn't run away from the island because more seasons of the series were planned. So he arrives in the writer's studio and knocks out the writer to rewrite the story in order to make it end. [[HereWeGoAgain Than he finds himself inside a Soap Opera]].


Added DiffLines:

* MixAndMatchCreatures: Koreans are represented as hedgehogs. And with hedgehogs, we mean "[[VisualPun hogs]] with quills".
