* Stephan Pastis kills off characters all the time in ''ComicStrip/PearlsBeforeSwine'' (and then inexplicably brings them back months later). The most humiliating might be Leonard, who was brought in as a new roommate to Rat and Pig, but whom Pastis quickly decided didn't fit in. So Leonard got his head stuck in the toilet and drowned.
** Made particularly painful by the fact that the first three panels of said comic consisted of Pastis saying that he wanted to give Leonard a good, dignified death.
** The same strip is notable for the ShowWithinAShow "The Adventures of Angry Bob", in which Rat (sitting at a typewriter) subjects Angry Bob to a variety of inglorious and meaningless deaths. Angry Bob is unfortunate enough to have the ability to "un-die", thus leaving the door open for DroppedABridgeOnHim to become a RunningGag.
