Muscular men in skintight spandex grappling other muscular men in skintight spandex? Scantily-clad women who can't keep their hands off each other? Foes fanatically obsessed with each other is one trope, but it's never ''all'' antagonistic. Perhaps Wertham was right! Compare examples of HoYay in other media.

!!Other Comic Books
* From the ''ComicBook/{{Flare}}'' page "[[http://www.heroicpub.com/flare/storypage.php?id=210&sid=080526oxeR On the Trail of the Tigress]]":
-->'''Donnah:''' You say you love me, but I'm beginning to wonder if you really do. Certainly your feelings for me are far removed from the feelings I have for you.\\
'''Terri:''' You're a lesbian, Donnah. I'm not.
* Explicit in ''ComicBook/{{Nexus}}'', where Sundra had a fling with Jil. Kind of makes you wonder just how close Sundra and Ursula were once upon a time.
** In [[http://asylums.insanejournal.com/scans_daily/703263.html#cutid1 Nexus #102]], [[spoiler:Ursula demands that Sundra leave Horatio so that the two of them, Ursula and Sundra, that is, can raise Sundra and Horatio's newborn son Harry together. Ursula also says to Sundra "But I loved you...I always...loved...you."]]
* ''Comicbook/{{Empowered}}'' delivers LesYay in abundance. Empowered is a {{Deconstruction}} of fetishes, but that hasn't stopped her from being either suggested with the other two main females, or even getting molested by one female kidnapper. As for HoYay... it's shown, in-universe, that Emp is a YaoiFangirl who reads a lot of doujinshi and fanfic. She even slashes her teammates.
** Emp is a self-described "three drink bisexual," and the two other main females include Ninjette, who is confirmed as having had at least one sexual experience with another woman, and Sistah Spooky, who is canonically bisexual. [[YuriFan The Caged Demonwolf]] enjoys this set up immensely.
*** The LesYay between Emp and 'Jette is particularly worth mentioning for both frequency and blatancy. Ninjette describes Empowered as "hotness incarnate" at one point, that's fairly low-key compared to some of the things that happen later, such as them ''taking a bath together''.
* ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'' features the ever ambiguous [[http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u103/wmdkitty/ElfQuest/Cutter-Skywise-homoerotic-moment.jpg Cutter and Skywise.]] Then again, it's official Word of God that all elves are bisexual. It's also WordOfGod that Cutter and Skywise are the respective [[AuthorAvatar Author Avatars]] of the creators. Who are a married couple. Yeah.
** The degree to which each elf is willing to exercise that bisexuality does vary greatly, from the practically exclusive heterosexuality of Strongbow to the almost exclusive homosexuality of his son, Dart. There are also variations, such as Skywise seemingly being mostly heterosexual but being happy to have sex with Cutter.
* ''ComicBook/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice''. Being HeterosexualLifePartners doesn't help them enough, there's plenty of subtext in every media. They usually play along when it's played for laughs, but they usually show aversion to the idea when it's suggested.
* ''ComicBook/TombRaider'': Lara Croft has some moments, especially when Sara Perezzi shows up for the Witchblade crossover. Chief among them Lara going after an evil blob thing because it made 'her' Sara cry, Sara declaring about three times that she 'loves/loved' Lara, and we're about good to go. This dovetails neatly with the subtext in the rebooted game series.
* It's short, but there is a small moment in ''ComicBook/FrozenBreakingBoundaries'' where Anna saves her CanonForeigner friend Mari from being swept away by an ice floe, and they share [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marianna.jpg this look]]. Oh Anna, you just get Les Yay with every girl you meet, don't you?
* ''ComicBook/JillTrentScienceSleuth'': The titular heroine and her gal pal Daisy are clearly HeterosexualLifePartners in this obscure [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] feature. But there are lots of Les Yay cues, particularly by 1940s standards. No sign that they're relatives, nor that either girl is married. And unusually for comic book features of the day, there aren't even ''hints'' of a token boyfriend for Jill. The Les Yay is made explicit in the [[GenderBender gender-bent]] RemixComic version, [[http://tgcaps.com/caps/modcomics/suedenim/jetdream/jet-dream-1970-annual/JT01_01.jpg.php Jill Trent: She-Sir Science Sleuth]].
* Main characters [[DeadpanSnarker Andréa]] and [[TheWoobie Elwood]] (both anthropomorphic ferrets) in the French series ''ComicBook/LesLumieresDeLAmalou''. Sure, Elwood [[InterspeciesRomance crushes hard]] on Orane (a [[HumanAliens human-like]] "Transparent"), but the amount of HoYay between Andréa and his sidekick can be quite staggering. Their third scene overall has them [[ItMakesSenseInContext waking up naked in the same bed]], and the rest of the story often involves them bickering like an old couple.
--> '''Andréa''': (''lecturing a guard while wearing ''only'' a towel'').
--> '''Elwood''': Andréa! Sir! You... dropped your towel...
%%* Try '''not''' finding HoYay in ''ComicBook/ThreeHundred''. Try.
* In both ''ComicBook/{{Witchblade}}'' and ''ComicBook/TheDarkness'', being the host of the Angelus force comes with a cool suit, the power of flight, a nifty spear, and a small army of similarly-dressed angel minions who are often creepily obsessed with you. On top of that, the current host, Danielle Baptiste, spent several issues of both ''Witchblade'' and her own short-lived solo book trying to figure out if she was actually romantically interested in her friend Finch. As of current issues, Dani has gone ahead and started a romantic relationship with Finch, although the series has hinted that the Angelus itself may actually be bisexual, which may have influenced Dani's decision.
* Throughout ''ComicBook/LeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'''s run, it's been hinted at that MinaMurray is at least bisexual. This started as far back as issue 2 of volume 1, when Cootes comments to the effect that Mina would have been an ideal pupil for her over-sexed school. By the time ''Century 1969'' came out, it was pretty much a given, with Mina seducing Julia Gallion. And the final volume, ''Century 2009'', makes it pretty explicit that Mina and Orlando are more than just casual sex partners.
* Franchise/{{Tintin}}'s relationship with Captain Haddock gives many readers this impression. Neither character shows any interest in women throughout the series (Haddock actively prefers to avoid the company of women, and states this repeatedly), and as soon as Haddock is restored to Marlinspike Manor, Tintin immediately moves in with him, and lives there thereafter.
* FrancoBelgianComics ''La Patrouille des Castors'' (The Beaver Patrol) is full of this. The series is about [[FiveManBand 5 teenage boy scouts]] having various adventures from solving crimes to foiling political schemes. The 5 spend all their time together, from eating, sleeping in a tent to saving each others. Women and girls are practically absent, especially early in the series (although they did ran into [[LesYay a group of girl scouts]] once). This is taken up to eleven in ''Passport pour le néant'' (Passport to oblivion) where they spend the majority of the story in speedos and WalkingShirtlessScene.
* [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Eggman]] and [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Dr. Wily]] in Archie's ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogMegaManWorldsCollide'', especially on some of the "EFF: Evil Friends Forever" variant covers. [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-InEiz8Wpf08/UOSxdbkmItI/AAAAAAAAM8g/UGjij5bM048/s1600/025-V1.png One such cover]] shows both mad scientists riding a tandem bicycle and sharing drinks. At one point in the comic proper, Eggman even acts like a jealous girlfriend when he learns of Wily's history with Dr. Light: his attempting to dispose of the good doctor could be the act of a bitter {{Yandere}} trying to MurderTheHypotenuse.
* ''ComicBook/SonicTheComic'': ExecutiveMeddling led to Amy's [[TheTease teasing crush on Sonic]] being [[CharacterizationMarchesOn phased out]] and Amy instead becoming a more {{tomboy}}ish character. She was paired up with TheSmartGuy Tekno and eventually the two were given a series of spinoff strips where they went on adventures together. This led to a lot of Les Yay, including Tekno's line "Amy, you're a treasure". In the FanSequel ''Webcomic/SonicTheComicOnline'', they were upgraded to OfficialCouple status by WordOfDante. The DistantFinale, ''Exit: Sonic'', was written by the original head writer Nigel Kitching and reveals that Amy will one day settle down with Tekno.
* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW'':
** While no official word has been given on her sexuality, Tangle is commonly interpreted by fans as lesbian -- or at least, [[AmbiguouslyBi attracted to women]] -- due to [[LesYay her fascinations with and how she seems to mainly interact with them]]. With their very friendly interactions in Issue #4, the pairing of Tangle and Blaze (or [[PortmanteauCoupleName Blazangle]]) became popular. Tangle and Whisper's close friendship, and the fact that the duo have ''their own miniseries'', has also made the pairing of them ([[PortmanteauCoupleName Whispangle]]) popular. Issue #61 even snuck in a blurred lesbian flag behind the duo in one panel.
** Dr. Starline is one of the biggest examples in the whole comic. His obsession with Dr. Robotnik is often seen as at least partially romantic as he's absolutely enamoured with the man. [[spoiler:His reaction to Eggman giving him the boot is often compared to that of a jilted lover, Zavok even telling Starline "You don't need him."]] The ''Imposter Syndrome'' miniseries [[spoiler:has him take Dr. Eggman's rejection poorly with his resentment of Metal Sonic making it clear that he sees him as a third wheel between him and Dr. Eggman. When he sees that Dr. Eggman still kept the action figure of him, he has a relapse and decides he wants Dr. Eggman by his side when he takes over the world]]. Issue #50 takes this to it's logical conclusion [[spoiler:with Dr. Starline's dialogue showing that he's still enamored with Dr. Eggman. He even tells the mad doctor that he's doing this for him and that he wants Eggman to listen to him for once. Dr. Eggman is merely annoyed and treats Dr. Starline as a clingy StalkerWithACrush, even admitting that he had been taking precautions against him]].
** In Issue #3, there is a moment where Sonic places his arm on Knuckle' shoulder and laughs out, "Oh Knuckles, you're the salt of the earth," to which he is shown blushing in response before moving into battle. It has also been discovered that in the French translation of the issue, Sonic says to Knuckles that he's "the sun of [his] life" instead. Knuckles' reaction is strikingly similar to how he responds to Rouge brushing his shoulder with a remark in Issue #30, leaving some fans interpreting the parallels as him being AmbiguouslyBi. This is further believed due to another parallel taking place immediately after Rouge leaves in the aforementioned Issue #30, where Knuckles is left staring at the moon waiting for Sonic to come back, [[spoiler:not knowing the hedgehog is in Blaze's dimension]]. In the JP version of a ''Sonic X'' episode, Knuckles is also staring at the moon with Sonic on his mind, though he refuses to admit it to Rouge, blushing through his denial. With Rouge at the scene and [[spoiler:Sonic in another dimension yet again]], fans have been quick to notice a potential reference.
** In the ''Chaos Races and Badnik Bases'' arc, Shadow catches Sonic, BridalCarry-style [[spoiler:after Starline tosses him from a great height off a roller coaster]]. Despite only lasting for a single panel, this did not go unnoticed at all.
--->'''Sonic:''' ''(with a big, dorky grin)'' Oh! Hi, Shadow. Nice to see you, too!
** Tails spends most of his fight with Kit [[WorthyOpponent complimenting his abilities]], with Kit's reaction being rather...[[FoeRomanceSubtext nervous]].
* There are generous helpings of Les Yay among ''ComicBook/RulahJungleGoddess'' and her suspiciously-pale native maidens. Said maidens being the subjects of peril, hairdressing, abduction, experiments, and much hugging when rescued.
