* ''ComicBook/{{Chew}}'': After much mystery around the source of the in-universe Avian flu and alien messages sent to Earth, it's revealed that [[spoiler: a race of aliens evolved from chickens have been threatening Earth for decades for this very reason. They're disgusted by humans and their rampant eating of chicken, and attempt twice to cull off any who have eaten it in the past. Despite this, humanity simply refuses to stop, although partially because few people could actually translate the warnings and demands sent to Earth.]]

Added DiffLines:

* In ''ComicBook/{{Horndog}}'', Tommy, a rat, and Leonard, a cat, engage in a conversation about Tommy's fear of being eaten. Also, a recent storyline involves Charlene becoming romantically involved with a Jewish lesbian mouse, which gives new meaning to the phrase "[[{{Pun}} eating pussy]]".

* In the short-lived furry comic book, ''ComicBook/SpaceWolf'' (not relation with ''Literature/SpaceWolf'' or ''TableTopGame/Warhammer40000''), the characters are of intelligent furry species that still have the predator/prey relationship such a Wolf species raiding a planet populated by humanoid sheep. Eventually, the sheep rebel and a long war starts that is only resolved when the sheep develop soy-curd meat substitutes which satisfy the predator species' needs. However much later, a villainous Sheep monarch decides to seize power by first demonstrating the lethality of an awesome planet destroying weapon. As terrible as that is, that is actually the lesser of his two major threats to cow the interstellar population: he also threatens to cut off the flow of soya-cord food to any resisting planet and let it fall back into murderous predator/prey chaos.

* The French comic ''ComicBook/DeCapeEtDeCrocs'', which is set in a LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy world, plays with this trope. In one book, the main characters are [[CapturedByCannibals taken prisoner by a tribe of savages]] who, at first, seem to be your average CannibalTribe: they bind them, dump them into a cauldron of boiling water and vegetables, the usual works. The heroes manage to free themselves and befriend the tribe leader, who is confused when they complain to him about the barbaric custom: his tribe, he says, have never been cannibals. That's when the characters seem to remember that they are, actually, an anthropomorphic ''fox'' and ''wolf''. And the savages, while not cannibals, definitely have no problems with eating dog meat. (That's only one way in which the comic parodies and subverts various adventure tropes.)
** Which doesn't mean that CarnivoreConfusion isn't played straight elsewhere in the comic. The galley of the pirate ship definitely contains pork, when one member of the crew is a talking pig.
** More amusingly, when the pirates threaten to eat the hostages, the one marking out the "cut here" lines on the servant is...the pig. Don Lope is the one [[HypocriticalHumor calling out the pirates on eating humans while wearing an expression suggesting he's gone rabid]].

Added DiffLines:

* ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'':
** "ComicBook/TheSuperSteedOfSteel": A bald eagle is called "evil" for the mere fact of trying to catch its food.
** "ComicBook/SupergirlsSuperPet": You would think a stray cat would not pass judgment on another predator for trying to find food wherever it can; and still Streaky derides an eagle as a bully for trying to catch a little chick.
