So Bob's parents aren't around. What happened to them? You tell me. What happens to Bob? He lives with his aunt and/or uncle, of course. Sometimes a cousin or two will be thrown into the mix. This trope, nephewism (coined by Josh Fruhlinger of The Comics Curmudgeon) usually occurs when a character's parents are completely absent (as in, not part of the story in any way), missing, secretly the Big Bad, or established as dead.
