* TheChainOfHarm: Great-grandfather once tries to make a photo of his descendants: grandfather, father and son strike a weird pose that collapses before great-grandfather can shoot the photo, breaking a background prop in the process. Great-grandfather takes out his anger on grandfather by slaping him, who then slaps father, who in turn slaps son. The son's reaction is not depicted.

Before you ask: Yes, this was during the time of UsefulNotes/NaziGermany. Here's the background: The artist had made anti-nazi caricatures during the WeimarRepublic, so when ThoseWackyNazis came to power, he was forbidden to publish anything. They only made an exception since V+S was completely unpolitical, and published under a pseudonym. And even so, he still had trouble with the nazis - he ended up committing suicide in [[UsefulNotes/TheGestapo Gestapo]] custody.
