History ArsonMurderAndJaywalking / ComicBooks

* At the end of one episode of ''MortadeloYFilemon'', Filemon tells the VillainOfTheWeek that he'll now be arrested for "deceit, breaking and entering, and spoiling our view". (To which the villain responds with an InsanityDefense.)

** He also likes to add SquirrelGirl as the jaywalking. During the Comicbook/CivilWar he compared '''the walking nukes''' like the ComicBook/{{Iron Man}}s, the [[TheMightyThor Thor]]s and the Squirrel Girls. Later on he compared '''the psychos''' like himself, [[DoctorDoom Dr. Dooms]] and Squirrel Girls. However, this is an averted trope since SquirrelGirl really is that [[MemeticBadass dangerous.]]

** Another D.R. & Quinch adventure has the boys in the Space Marines. The Corps anthem is full of threats against people they don't like and include:

** Another from the same comics:

** And again, sort of:

** And ''yet again'':
--->'''Mr. Weatherbee''': (trying to convince Archie to take Ethel out on a date) Think of your school. Of helping a team to win a championship they've worked so hard for. Of how happy you'll make a lonely girl. '''Think of our newly decorated detention room'''.
*** That seems to be more of a SuchALovelyNoun-ish threat: "Think of our newly-decorated Detention room (...which you'll be seeing a lot of if you don't help)"

** Possibly the most disturbing thing about this list is that it suggests you ''can'' get a permit for demolishing a city. (I'm pretty sure the offense didn't mean "non-licensed building demolitions".)
* PhilFoglio likes this one, in ''XXXenophile'':

** In''The Adventures of Rex Kevlar, Chapter 17'', Iolanthe lists all the weird places where she and Rex have had sex: "[[ZeroGSpot In Zero G]], underwater, in a time dilation field, by remote control and [[{{Mallrats}} in the back seat of a Volkswagen Bug]]."
*** That isn't ordinary, that's damn near miraculous.

** And again from ''SecretSix'' #32, when Theus explains why he's in Hell.

** Unlike blood and (presumably) monster guts, chili juice on your fingers hurts.

** Also this:

* In one issue of the PinkPanther comic book, our hero ends up in the Middle Ages and is mistaken for RobinHood. The reasons given by the sheriff of Nottingham for hanging him include highway robbery, poaching the king's deer, taking from the rich and giving to the poor, and morris dancing without a permit.

* ''Marvel Year In Review 1993'''s mentions the "boy scout oath" of SilverAge superheroes: "I promise to do what's right, [[TheGoldenRule to treat others decently, as I would like to be treated]], to help old ladies across the street, to take my hat off in the presence of our flag, to hold myself to the highest standards of the ComicsCode Authority, [[ThouShaltNotKill to never take human life under any curcumstances]], even when they [[MoralEventHorizon really deserve it]], and to eat all of my vegetables, even the brussels sprouts."

-->'''Winston''': Y'all invented a whole new technology, outsmarted Sumerian deities, and managed to never ''once'' try to seriously kill Pete here... Those are some big achievements, and it's time to top yourselves, guys.

* From the DeanKoontz graphic novel ''In Odd We Trust'': Odd is beating on a child killer with a bucket, each statement accompanied by a stronger blow than the last. "[[AndThisIsFor This is for]] killing Joey! This is for kidnapping Sherry! And this... IS FOR SAYING MY PANCAKES SUCK!"

* Used regularly in ''De Cape et de Crocs''. For example when pirates finally catch up with the heroes who stole their ship: "We'll make you bleed! We'll make you suffer! We'll make you ''apologize''!"

* ''Iceman and Angel'' #1 had the locations of anyone who could help the XMen in question stop "Goom, the Thing from Planet X!" The Avengers: taking on Kang. The Fantastic Four: taking on Annihilus. The military: um...

* In the ''Batman: Black and White'' story "Innocent Guy", the titular average joe lines up his plan to kill Batman. "One day he'll be face to face with Two-Face... or he'll be tangling with Poison Ivy... or in the lair of . . . ''those three guys with animal masks whose names I can never remember!''" For the record, he means the TerribleTrio; the Fox, the Shark, and the Vulture.

* In ''Wildsiderz'', Dr. Tyberius Spydre lists among his inventions "the anti-anti-aircraft missile, the internet, and, of course, those lovable, huggable Pumpkin Patch Kids."

--> ''"June 16, 1969: Gasoline is up to 35 cents a gallon this summer, censors are in an uproar about Kurt Vonnegut's ''SlaughterhouseFive'', a story about a man who has become disconnected in time. The provisional IRA is throwing bricks and bombs in Belfast... students are protesting [[TheVietnamWar the war in Vietnam]]... the Soviet Union and China have been fighting along their border. And NBC have just cancelled ''Series/{{Star Trek|The Original Series''.''

* Variation: ArchieComics' resident BigEater Jughead Jones once lost a bet to Reggie Mantle, and the former has to go through a HumiliationConga, watched by fellow students, with some even participating in the punishments to Juggie. The punishments go as follows: buying a dozen eggs dressed up as a clown, getting ''all'' the eggs dropped on him, followed by mud. In order to wash himself up, Reggie then has Jughead take a bath, with the bathtub ''in the middle of the road''. Juggie goes through these harassments stoically, until the last one, where he had to get a kiss from Ms. Riverdale, which actually pushed his BerserkButton. {{Justified}}, seeing as Juggie is a ''romance hater''...

* In [=IDW=]'s ''[[{{Transformers}} Megatron: Origins]]'' miniseries, Starscream is brought before the Senate to give testimony about the Decepticon "fight club"...

* In Hal Jordan's brief tenure as ''The Spectre'', a situation once necessitated calling for aid from "Superman! Batman! ''Zauriel!''" Yes, after naming two of the most iconic characters in all of fiction, the next person he names is unknown even to most comic readers. That said, Zauriel was a teammate of Superman and Batman in the JLA just a few years previous. (And he's an ''angel'', so he's the right guy to call for theological problems.)

* Issue 2 of ''The Life and Times of Scrooge Mcduck'' (Master of the Mississippi): Scrooge demands that the Beagle Boys be arrested for "stealing gold, demolishing a riverboat without a permit, and wearing women's clothing!"

* In the Magazine/{{MAD}} story "Mad goes to an [[AlfredHitchcock Alfred Hatchplot]] Movie", the protagonist is greeted in one scene with "I know who you are, Sidney Zinn! I'm another Hatchplot villain! By ze vay, ze plot for zis movie has gotten quite complicated since you first got here! Namely, you are wanted for murder, grand larceny, treason, and holding an overdue library book! Climb aboard!"

-->'''Theus''':I am an adulterer, Lord.

* In ''MaxUndMoritz'' by WilhelmBusch, after the boys put gunpowder into teacher Lämpel's pipe and it explodes, the author (or Lämpel?) muses: Who shall teach the children now? Who shall multiply the knowledge? What should the teacher use for smoking now?
