* In ''ComicStrip/{{Doonesbury}}'', Mark Slackmeyer is bartending a college reunion, and an attendee comes up to the bar wearing a lampshade... before the party has even begun.
* A ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide'' cartoon with three teenagers on a couch, surveying a living room which they have obviously carefully tidied, moments before the parents come home... "Play it cool," says one, "they'll never know we've been partying." The deception would be perfect if they were not all three wearing lampshades.
* One ''ComicStrip/FoxTrot'' strip had Jason admonishing his parents for napping on New Year's Eve, telling them to live it up. In the last panel, they've donned lampshades...and are still sleeping. Jason gives up on them.
* ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'':
** It's definitely appeared in a few different strips, such as the December 31, 1989 strip (which got made into a Garfield Quickie on ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'') and the December 29, 2006 strip. Garfield being a cat though, he isn't drunk -- he's just a party animal.
** It's a prominent recurring feature in ''The Garfield How to Party Book'' by Jim Davis.
* Leroy from ''ComicStrip/TheLockhorns'' has been shown letting loose at a cocktail party via this trope.
* In ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'', Snoopy and Spike have worn lampshades on a couple of occasions.
* One ''ComicStrip/{{Retail}}'' strip has Marla dealing with a customer who complains about paying sales tax on a lampshade because "there's no tax on clothing". When she questions this, he puts it on his head and shouts "I'M THE LIFE OF THE PARTY!"
