Katnip and the Anchor

A literal example: Herman, attempting to reclaim control of his ship from Peg-Leg Katnip, attempts to subdue the latter by tying his tail to an anchor and spinning him unconscious with the steering wheel. Katnip isn't subdued for long however, and when he comes through, he attempts to give chase to Herman, but in doing so, forgets to untie the anchor from his tail, resulting in the anchor flattening Katnip against the wall.
