* ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'': Due to the sheer memetic-ness of his dedication to '''THE LAW''' (thanks to Creator/SylvesterStallone's [[LargeHam hammy portrayal]] of him in the [[Film/JudgeDredd 1995 film adaptation]]), it can be surprising to new readers to find that Dredd is actually one of the more ''sensible'' Judges. Judge Dredd is fairly unique among long-lived comic book characters in that he ages in real time, and his personality [[CharacterDevelopment gradually changes over the years]] as he increasingly questions his role. Despite this, fans still often think of him as being obsessed with '''THE LAW''' and arresting criminals. He doesn't even use that CatchPhrase very much.

* Whether as a ShoutOut, coincidence, or someone involved in the comic actually having something to do with the site, ''Witch Girls'' has two characters named Denora [=DeSade=] and Claudia who are quite similar to characters with the same names from the long-defunct transformation fetish site "The Shrinking Sorceress". Cue detractors of the recent, better-known RPG spinoff ''TabletopGame/WitchGirlsAdventures'' (which features the same characters and a rather large amount of artwork dedicated to witches transforming helpless victims into various objects) ranting about how it's a BleachedUnderpants version of the site and nearly every adult character is lifted from it. MANGA GRAPHIX, the company that publishes ''Witch Girls'', is mentioned in the copyright blurb on ''[[http://web.archive.org/web/20010411183322/www.geocities.com/gotiger_1999/Sorc1.html Shrinking Sorceress]]''. [[http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/Malcolm/Harris Malcolm Harris]], the author of ''Witch Girls'' and the owner of Channel M (which owns WGA), lists himself as a writer for MANGA GRAPHIX in his resume.

* One of Lucy's personality-cementing moments in ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' is the famous trick of pulling a football away from Charlie Brown optimistically trying to kick it ([[http://assets.amuniversal.com/61ef10401dc7012ea5ca00163e41dd5b He managed it once... with hilarious results.]]). The actual frequency of this gag has more to do with the sheer length of the strip; Schultz specifically commented he only did these strips once a year at most to make sure the joke stayed fresh and keep Lucy from appearing ''too'' nasty. So she did it 48 times in 17,000+ strips. What's even more sad is that Schulz said in an interview that [[StatusQuoIsGod letting Charlie Brown finally kick the football would've been a grave disservice]].
** Of course, doing it at the worst possible moment and getting away with it in the AnimatedAdaptation might have helped worsen things...
** Put the previous two together, by the way, and you get [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v97/MasterSplinter/X-Nuts.jpg X-Nuts]].
** Fun fact: the very first football pull was actually performed by ''Violet'', not Lucy; she pulls the ball away because she's afraid he'll kick her hand, not out of malice. And in the last one, Rerun replaced Lucy - we never find out whether Charlie Brown kicked it or not.

* ''[[ComicBook/{{Asterix}} Asterix and the Falling Sky]]'' is often perceived as a crass and xenophobia-tainted rant against manga, and as such ended up nigh-universally reviled and often put on the table as a reason why Albert Uderzo should have stopped helming the series alone. He eventually retired a few years later, due to increasing pain in his hands preventing him from drawing. It still induces negative views of the man among French fans of comic books and/or manga.
