** Jacob's first twelve children seem to have been born during a span of about seven years (multiple wives were involved), but another seven or so years pass before Benjamin, the youngest, is born, so this would apply between him and the older ones.

** Jacob's first twelve children seem to have been born during a span of about seven years (multiple wives were involved), but at least another seven or so years pass before Benjamin, the youngest, is born, so this would apply between him and the older ones. Before Benjamin is born, oldest brother Reuben has a forbidden sexual affair, sister Dinah is [[RapeAsDrama raped]] and married off, and brothers Simeon and Levi commit mass murder to avenge her, so they must be at least in their teens if not adults by the time of his birth.

* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'': ''ComicBook/WonderGirl'' Cassie Sandsmark is several thousand years younger than her half-siblings like [[ComicBook/HerculesUnbound Hercules]], Ares and Athena, whom their father Zeus fathered in antiquity. Like in Myth/ClassicalMythology, it's a consequence of Zeus both being immortal [[ReallyGetsAround and never keeping it in his pants]]. This is {{played for laughs}} when Sandsmark learns of her heritage, as she continues to idolize Wonder Woman, and Wonder Woman continues to treat Sandsmark like a younger sister or even a daughter, despite the fact Cassie is Wonder Woman's ''great aunt''. [[spoiler:In the ComicBook/New52, Wonder Woman is changed to be Cassie's aunt due to Zeus being Diana's father, with Cassie becoming the daughter of one of his demigods instead.]]

Because of the large age gap, the siblings are likely to have an estranged relationship. If they're close, the older sibling may be more of a ParentalSubstitute or uncle/aunt in their behavior, rather than a regular sibling interaction. This can also lead to an uncle/aunt around the same age or even younger than their nephew/niece, who if close might share a sibling or cousin-like bond. Maybe they'll make jokes about the situation.

* ''Franchise/ArchieComics'': Jughead is approximately seventeen, like the rest of Archie's pals and gals. His little sister Jellybean was literally born into the franchise in 1993, and has [[ComicBookTime very slowly grown]] from a baby into a toddler.

* ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'':
** At the start of the series, Kevin's adopted daughter Lindesfarne and Kell's son Rudy are in high school. Near the beginning, the two teenagers get a baby sister, Coney.
** Fiona, who is Rudy's age, gets a much younger half-brother when her father remarries and has a daughter with his second wife.
** For an example that doesn't involve half-siblings, Kevin is at least a decade older than his younger sister Danielle, [[MassiveNumberedSiblings one of his roughly three dozen siblings]] who is implied to be one of the younger ones.

We don't need the whole explanation – It Was His Sled, after all.


* ''Theatre/OedipusTheKing'': An unusually disturbing example – not only is Oedipus an adult while his mother Jocasta's four other offspring are children, but [[ItWasHisSled since he married his own mother without knowing her identity, he is their father.]]
