1* ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'': According to ''Asterix the Gaul'', Gaulish chieftain Vercingetorix surrendered to Julius Caesar not by throwing his weapons ''at'' Caesar's feet, but ''on'' them. ''Asterix and the Chieftain's Shield'' expanded on this scene by showing Caesar hopping away on one foot in obvious pain. ''Asterix and the Chieftain's Daughter'' further expand on the flashback by showing Caesar getting his foot bandaged by a medicus.
2* A fairly common gag in ''ComicBook/MortadeloYFilemon''. Generally, the guy's foot gets really swollen, too.
3* In the first ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'' book, a fat nerd who steals Emp's [[ClothesMakeTheSuperman hypermembrane]] first tests his new "superpowers" by giving a high-kick to a ''concrete pillar''. Unfortunately for him, the super-suit only works for Empowered, and lot of pain ensues.
4* Happens in ''ComicBook/BuckGodotZapGunForHire'' to the title character, after a fork to the foot. [[http://www.airshipentertainment.com/buckcomic.php?date=20080124 He shouldn't have called his uncle Frakkus an "Old Timer".]]
5* ''ComicBook/DuckTales'': Overjoyed at seeing Scrooge and the boys alive and well after apparently seeing their ghosts, Launchpad forgets to be careful when trying to demonstrate how he could pass his hand right through them and pokes Scrooge hard in the stomach. 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).
6* ''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'': ''Scrooge [=McDuck=]'' story "The Pauper's Glass" has the Duck nephews chasing an amnesiac Scrooge through a balloon factory. After bedeviling them with ball balloons, Scrooge rolls an actual bowling ball at his pursuers. Donald assumes it's just another balloon, and gets a painful surprise when the ball lands on his foot.
7* In ''ComicBook/{{Legends|DCComics}}'', the villain Sunspot uses [[PowerPalms his power blast]] to get out of the ankle cuff that [[Franchise/GreenLantern Guy Gardner]] holds him upside-down by, but in the process he accidentally blasts off his right foot. Guy tends to Sunspot's injury, but threatens to [[AnArmAndALeg cut off the villain's left hand]] if he uses his power blast again.
8* In ''ComicBook/TheSmurfs'' comic book version of "[[Recap/TheSmurfsBook5Story1TheSmurfsAndTheHowlibird The Smurfs and the Howlibird]]", one Smurf calls upon another to hand him a stone in order to fix the village well that the Howlibird had destroyed, but when carrying the stone, that Smurf is distracted by Papa Smurf calling out while reentering the village, dropping the stone on the first Smurf's foot and causing him agony.
9* 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.
10* ''ComicBook/{{Titeuf}}'':
11** Titeuf steps on someone's foot when he's trying to uses stilts.
12** One gag has Titeuf having trouble to go to the toilet in the middle of the night without stepping on his little sister's toys. He's glad that it also happens to his parents.
13* ''ComicBook/MickeyMouseComicUniverse'': In a scene from "Mickey Mouse in Death Valley" (that was written by Creator/WaltDisney himself), Peg-Leg Pete tries to attack Mickey from behind with an axe. However, a mysterious figure known as "The Fox" lops off the blade with scissors, causing Pete to instead hit himself on the toe with the handle.
14* The page image comes from a one-page comic in ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'', drawn by Tom Bunk and written by Michael Gallagher (yes, the same Michael Gallagher who wrote the early issues of ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics''). A man buys magnetic insoles for his shoes, but they end up being so powerful that they pull an entire drawer full of sharp knives down, causing every knife to impale itself through his feet. [[FromBadToWorse Followed immediately by the fridge crashing down on him.]]
