History ItsAllAboutMe / ComicStrips

* Marigold in ''ComicStrip/PhoebeAndHerUnicorn'' is a full-blown narcissist.

** Lucy van Pelt, who like Calvin has the excuse that she's a child. She's nothing but cruel to the other kids, yet expect them to treat her like a queen at all times. If she does something wrong, then it's NeverMyFault. If there's a grievance against her, either real or perceived and usually perceived, she responds with a MegatonPunch. Most people, no matter how self-centered, would deny that they think the world revolves around them, but when Lucy is told in so many words that it does not, she is shocked at such an absurd suggestion.

* ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}. Just Garfield.

** When Mafalda reads some statistics about what will happen in the event of nuclear war, particularly how many people will die indiscriminately, Susanita laments how disgusting it would be to die with random strangers, essentially comparing it to sex.

-->'''Rob''': You think everything's about you, don't you?
-->'''Bucky''': I don't follow. As opposed to what?

-->'''Hobbes''': [[TheSeventies The Me Decade]] left without its poster child.
-->'''Calvin''': Maybe we can call this the "Calvin Decade!"

** What may set some kind of a record is when two time-travelling versions of Calvin decide to gang up on the Calvin between themselves in time, blaming him for being lazy and not doing the homework assignment neither of them is going to do either because they want to get it by time travel. They threaten to beat him up to make him do it until he points out they're going to suffer from it too because they're him. In other words, it's not even just all about me at the expense of everyone else, it's all about me ''at this moment'' at the expense of me at other times. (It also makes a great analogy for the procrastinator who delegates everything to their imaginary future self.)

* [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes Calvin]], taking it to extreme levels in his six-year-old naivete. It comes up all the time, but perhaps the clearest example was when he used advanced cardboard box technology to create multiple identical copies of himself and was amazed and outraged when instead of doing all his work for him they all did whatever they damn well pleased and got him into trouble repeatedly. He has also remarked that the world owes him everything for the simple fact that he made it a better place by being born; that he's tired of everyone being so selfish and only thinking about themselves [[HyprocriticalHumor when they should focus on him]]; and that he's figured out his purpose in life, and it's that everyone do as he tells them to.

** Calvin's attitude is sometimes (possibly even usually) a satire of people's attitudes in real life. A more obvious example of this is when he uses a bunch of corporate and economics concepts to justify why his lemonade stand is selling a terrible product at an exorbitant price. For example, he justifies the price by supply and demand, where the demand boils down to his demand for the customers' money. When Susie refuses to buy, he accuses her of ruining the economy and then goes to his mother asking for subsidies.

-->'''Bucky''': I don't follow. As opposed to what?

* Bucky from ''GetFuzzy''. It's even lampshaded in one strip.

* All three main characters in ''{{Candorville}}'' do this from time to time--Susan and Lemont because their problems are so great, Clyde because he's just self-centered. None of them have ''anything'' on [[ClingyJealousGirl Roxanne]], though--she has never shown concern for any individual human being other than herself and her son with Lemont, and the latter is more a means of guilt-tripping Lemont than someone she really cares about.

* AndyCapp is about as bad in this respect, as if it isn't bad enough he leeches off everyone else. There's a [[MeaningfulName reason]] why [[PunnyName his name sounds like "handicap"]].

* ''{{Peanuts}}'':

* J.J. of ''{{Doonesbury}}'' - to the point where she somehow made the funeral of Widow Doonesbury (Mike's mother and her former mother-in-law) all about her forgiving Mrs. Doonesbury for the mean things she said about her over the years. For bonus points, she says this in front of Alex, her daughter (and Mrs. Doonesbury's granddaughter).
