* In ''ComicBook/DanceClass'' this happens on occasion since obviously feet are needed for dancing. One strip had two of the lead have to break off from dancing at a party to rub their feet due to the fact the boys there didn't know how to slow dance properly and kept stepping on the girls' feet by accident.

A few minutes later, Scrooge says, "Well, I assure you, I'm all here now!" and drives his heel into Launchpad's instep, causing him a lot of pain (which was probably intentional).
