Line #2 AmusingInjuries/ComicBooks


1	* In one issue of the comic ''ComicBook/GoldDigger'', the character of Stripe is repeatedly hit by various painful booby traps in an old temple. Due to his relative ability to take damage, he is merely put in increasing levels of InstantBandages. (At one point, they forget to give him a hole to breathe through!) His wife Brittany, a werecheetah who can bench press Mack trucks, gets a ''little'' angry when she finds out.
2	* ComicBook/{{Perky}} ''always'' has a rough landing whenever he enters a new magical realm, although thankfully the travel effect seems to protect him from suffering permanent damage.
3	* ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} occasionally comes in for this, thanks to his Mutant Healing Factor (TM).
4	** One of the more notable examples was a pitch-black parody about chainsaw-wielding midget mafiosi that culminated in the ComicBook/{{Punisher}} parking a steamroller on top of Wolverine.
5	** In ''Marvel Ultimate Team-Up'', Spider-Man rescues a severely injured Wolverine and recommends a hospital, only for Wolvie to brush him off and heal up almost instantly, resulting the hilarious line, "Oh my god I think I'm going to throw up in my mask."
6	** Even in-house parodies aren't immune, as demonstrated by Wulveream in one issue of ''What The'' where a visiting parody of a DC Comics villain pulls off everything over his metal-plated skeleton.
7	--->'''Scaredevil:''' [[Characters/TheFlashRoguesGallery Magilla Grodd!]] You've killed him!\
8	'''Magilla:''' Hardly, S.D., old bean. [[WolverinePublicity Marvel's not going to let anyone kill their golden goose]], not even in a lampoon. I ''have'' given his cop-out healing factor something to work on, though.
9	* ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} took more punishment in funny, amusing or plain crazy ways and he is still wise-cracking.
10	** He also does this to poor Mr Immortal of the ''ComicBook/GreatLakesAvengers''. So does almost everyone who they face off against, and this is on top of his own death wish, which is played for amusement.
11	* Basile always gets hurt in ''ComicBook/LeonardLeGenie'', either because of his clumsiness or his master's sadism.
12	* Every single major character suffers these in spades in ''ComicBook/MortadeloYFilemon''.
13	* Happens regularly to ComicBook/TheAwesomeSlapstick, whose indestructible cartoon-like body allows him to recover almost instantly.
14	* Ditto for ComicBook/PlasticMan whenever he appears. Batman seems particularly fond of hurting him.
15	* ''ComicBook/SinCity'' has the death of Jack Rafferty, which is probably one of the most gruesome deaths in the series (which is saying something) but also the funniest. His dialogue helps.
16	* Often in the stories by Creator/WilhelmBusch, up to Amusing Death. Note that these stories are more than 100 years old, and even decades older than ''ComicStrip/TheYellowKid'', often said to be the first comic.
17	* In ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'', whenever our heroes go up against the legionaries, the legionaries end up with these. Often they are punch-drunk, to boot.
18	* A large portion of ''Franchise/{{Tintin}}'' humor comes from Captain Haddock tripping or hitting his head. This is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in ''Destination Moon''.
19	--->'''Prof. Calculus''': I'd swear you do that on purpose!
20	* ComicBook/ArchieComics often got laughs from Big Moose beating the stuffings out of anyone he so much as imagines is making time with his girl Midge -- mostly to Reggie.
21	* ''ComicBook/TheSuperiorFoesOfSpiderMan'' reconstructs this trope by merging it with SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome; the characters frequently have to deal with the long-term consequences of their injuries, but this is just used to make them even funnier such as Shocker mumbling incoherently for half of issue 1 because his jaw got broken or Speed Demon trying to work around his broken ankle by [[WorstAid strapping it to a roller skate so he can keep moving]].
22	* Deconstructed in the horror comic ''ComicBook/DylanDog''. In one issue, a Roger Rabbit expy came to the real world from cartoonland. Carnage ensued, since his amusing slapstick violence actually killed people, but he wasn't aware of things such as permanent injuries and death. It was actually kinda creepy.
23	* ''ComicBook/TheMask'' also deconstructed this as part of its central premise. The titular mask turns its wearer into a living cartoon character capable of doling out classic cartoon stuff like TorsoWithAView, SquashedFlat and what have you, the only catch is that the unfortunate recipients are still regular humans, who are gorily and messily killed as a result.
24	* The [[ComicBook/DisneyMouseAndDuckComics Disney Comics]] are rife with this. Characters can be blown up, dropped from buildings, electrocuted, attacked by dogs, whatever, but actually sustain long-term injuries let alone ''killed''? Not unless the plot specifically requires it, like the Phantom Blot's numerous {{Death Trap}}s, which are played menacingly straight as being very lethal (of course, Mickey always escapes somehow). Even if someone (usually [[ButtMonkey Donald]]) ends up as a BandageMummy at the end, he's perfectly fine by the next story.
25	* A deconstruction, or maybe an Indecisive DeconstructiveParody, in ''Batman and Robin (2011)'' #10, where a villain named Terminus, who's dying of some poorly-described side effect of a fight with Batman, recruits mooks who were also weirdly injured by Batman to maim Gotham citizens: these include a guy with a Batarang embedded in his skull after [[BoomerangComeback attempting to throw it at Batman]], a guy who has permanent ligature marks across his body from being LockedUpAndLeftBehind, a woman who got stuck with several of Bats' gauntlet spikes (she's made a fashion statement of it, though), a guy with the footprint of a Bat-boot on his face after a kick to the head... and three guys who crashed their getaway vehicle into toxic waste, becoming [[BodyHorror fused]] into a barely-HumanoidAbomination. The MoodWhiplash of that last one is jarring.
26	* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'' [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Vol 1]]: Gen. Darnell once ended up with broken bones in both hands due to furniture falling on him. While the initial injury was not treated as funny the inconvenience of having both hands in casts certainly was.
