Redundancy: Comicbooks
  • "Doomguy" from the DOOM comic has the infamous "Rip and tear! Rip and tear your guts!", among other redundant lines that he used redundantly.
  • In an issue of Legion Of Super-Heroes, Apparition is waiting for Ultra Boy. The narration reads:
    Apparition: (she counts off his crimes to the tick of the clock) One. He's late. Two. He already has a girlfriend. Three. He gives bad gifts — a cactus, of all things. Four. He's late. Five. He already has a girlfriend. Six...
    Ultra Boy: I'm late.
  • Frank Miller repeats himself with a lot of repetition. Repeatedly. Also, whores and prostitutes.
  • The Oracle in the Azrael Annual #2 (a Legends of the Dead Earth Elseworld):
    Oracle: Shut your mouth and open your ears. We oracles never repeat ourselves and I mean that most sincerely. Never, never repeat ourselves, understand?
  • DC Comics. "DC" stands for Detective Comics, ergo their name is Detective Comics Comics.
    • They also publish a series called Detective Comics. Which means it's Detective Comics Comics' Detective Comics.
    • And the comics the publish are Detective Comics Comics' comics.
  • DC has a series of omnibus reprints of comics, called Showcase Presents. One volume reprints the 1950's comic book Showcase, so it's Showcase Presents Showcase.
    • So... Detective Comics Comics Presents Showcase Presents Showcase?
  • This exchange from a "Webelos Woody" strip in Boys' Life
    Restaurant Patron: I'll have toasted toast on toast with a side order of toast.
    Waiter: Would you like toast with that?
    Restaurant Patron: No!
  • In the Strontium Dog arc "Bitch", a senile and completely clueless Ronald Reagan has been kidnapped by extra-terrestrial aliens from another planet and addresses the following people when reading the ransom note from the aliens who kidnapped a senile and completely clueless Ronald Reagan and are now holding him for ransom.
    Ronald Reagan: I'd like to assure Nancy and Larry and George and Larry and George and Larry and all the people this great country of ours that I'm okay.
  • Superboy Prime: I'll kill you! I'll kill you to DEATH!
  • Deathstroke the Terminator. Yes thank you, we gathered that you kill people from the first bit. Unless you're also responsible for laying off employees, "the Terminator" is not needed.
    • The name actually came about by an error in his introductory issue, where he was referred to first as Deathstroke, then as the Terminator, so they decided to combine them.
  • In the superhero comic series Runaways, the titular heroes' secret headquarters is situated under The La Brea Tar Sands, which, as a guard pointed out, means "The The Tar Tar Sands."
  • In the Lucky Luke book "The Oklahoma Run", Luke encounters a traveling salesman who can sell him fresh water, whisky, fruit, whisky, (insert a lot more here) and whisky.
  • The title of The Dandy Special issue 7: Desperate Dan in Dan in Japan. So Dan's in himself then? [1]
  • The Kindle version of the third Simons Cat book is titled both on the website and the download itself as "Simon's Cat: In Kitten Chaos: In Kitten Chaos (Simons Cat 3)"
  • If anything remotely exciting is going on in Archie Comics Sonic The Hedgehog, it's a near-certainty that the character/s involved will take it upon themselves to tell you what's happening by narrating it in real time as it happens.
