* Jughead of ''Franchise/ArchieComics'' [[BigEater may love to eat every type of food]], but he has a special place in his heart, um, stomach for hamburgers. His SuperPoweredAlterEgo, Captain Hero [[note]][[NamesTheSame no relation]] to the ''WesternAnimaton/DrawnTogehter'' character[[/note]], even has the image of a hamburger for his ChestInsignia.

* ''{{Popeye}}''

** However, it's rarely mentioned nowadays and seems to have been replaced with pizza.
*** WordOfGod seems to support this as Jim Davis admitted once he wished he made pizza Garfield's favorite as it's easier to draw.
* ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes''
** Hobbes: Tuna sandwiches, as well as salmon

* An old ''{{Monty}}'' (in its ''Robotman'' days) strip where Monty decides that he needs a trademark food, and spends much of the strip eating pork chops, before discovering that he doesn't really like pork chops that much.

* ''ComicStrip/DennisTheMenaceUS'': He sure loves pizza, but hates vegetables of any kind with a passion ... once to the point where he turns up the oven to 550 degrees on Thanksgiving Day, just so the family would be forced (in haste) to order pizza as their Thanksgiving dinner.

* DennisTheMenaceUK has a friend called Pie-Face, who is obsessed with pies.

* After CaptainMarvel introduced him to Oreos, they quickly became the ComicBook/MartianManhunter's favorite food, unto addiction. By the time that his solo series did a whole issue about his addiction, the chocolate cookies had become "Chocos" to [[BlandNameProduct avoid any legal difficulties.]]

** [[{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson]] loves cereal.

* GreenArrow of TheDCU has had a thing about chili for decades.

* {{Galactus}}' ex-herald Firelord absolutely loves pizza.

* Snoopy of ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' and cookies (and root beer, when he's in "Flying Ace" and "Joe Cool" modes).
** Oh, but his ''favourite'' food is pizza. It's the only thing that could lure him out from under an icicle (he was afraid to make the slightest movement in case it fell on him).

* The two stupid rat creatures from ''{{Bone}}'' like their quiche, though they don't get it often (and one is in denial).

* After CaptainMarvel introduced him to Oreos, they quickly became the MartianManhunter's favorite food, unto addiction. By the time that his solo series did a whole issue about his addiction, the chocolate cookies had become "Chocos" to [[BlandNameProduct avoid any legal difficulties.]]

** J'onn was even buried with one.

* ''Comicbook/GhostRider'': Red and yellow jelly beans.
* Jughead of ''Franchise/ArchieComics'' [[BigEater may love to eat every type of food]], but he has a special place in his heart, um, stomach for hamburgers.
* ComicBook/{{Hellboy}} is very fond of pancakes (which he calls pamcakes due to a childhood mispronunciation). This is extreme to the point that when he first ate them at the age of 2 [[spoiler:[[RuleOfFunny all the demons of Hell started lamenting, with an Infernal archduke stating that Hellboy would never return to them now, and Astaroth saying it was their darkest hour]]]].
** Hellboy also loves nachos, and Abe is very fond of rotten eggs.
** Hellboy loves Baby Ruths, chili and beer as well.

* GreenArrow of TheDCU has had a thing about chili for decades.
* Captain Haddock of ''Franchise/{{Tintin}}'' loves Loch Lomond Whisky, until Prof. Calculus does something about it.

* Rorschach of ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' is often seen eating sugar cubes, but given his personality, it's hard to know if he eats them out of like of the taste or simple need for something to give him energy easily. He also seems to be fond of raw eggs. And beans straight from the can.
** He is never seen eating anything cooked (though he sits in the Gunga Diner). Probably because he thinks preparing food is a waste of time.
* Breaker from ''GIJoe'' is constantly chewing gum. He's literally never seen without it and is willing to ''ignore direct orders'' to discard it.
** All of the Dreadnoks are inordinately fond of grape soda and chocolate donuts. It's pretty much all they talk about, and sometimes the only thing they can ever agree on. Though if donuts are unavailable, chocolate anything else will do. Sometime after the fall of Cobra, Torch eventually went into the business of making the stuff himself with the wildly successful "Uncle Winkin's Hard Grape Soda Company". He probably did this solely to get it for free and just the way he likes it.
* In ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'', while roast wild boar is the staple diet of most of the Gauls, Obelix in particular obsesses over it. Being a BigEater, he will have an ''entire'' boar, if not several.
* According to BronzeAge comics, ComicBook/{{Superman}}'s favorite food is beef bourguignon with ketchup.
** [[DependingOnTheWriter Recent comics]] vary on whether Superman is a vegetarian or not, and if he is he prefers peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, possibly a {{shoutout}} to a licensed Superman peanut butter from the 1960s and 1970s.
** Post-Crisis, he frequently mentioned that he liked his mom's rhubarb pie.

** For a while it was stated that his favorite food was spare ribs.

* ''ComicBook/GrooTheWanderer'' walks the land in search of Cheese Dip.
* Agent Graves of ''ComicBook/OneHundredBullets'' seems to drink nothing but vodka. He's also fond of various sweet foods, like pie.
** Cole Burns' favorite drink is Cuervo Gold with limes.
* {{Galactus}}' ex-herald Firelord absolutely loves pizza.
** For that matter, Galactus really, really likes [[PlanetEater planets]]. And [[BlandNameProduct Twinkles]] too. But any true believer knows Galactus doesn't drink milk!
* ComicBook/TheMaxx loves Pez.
* Brittany in ''ComicBook/GoldDigger'' is a very big fan of tuna.
** Charlotte, from the same series, is even more fond of pretzels and peanuts -- according to Penny in one story, she'll [[BigEater eat them almost to the point where she'll die of over eating]]. She's stuffed herself so badly at least once that her figure visibly changed to that of a [[BalloonBelly pregnant woman]].
* The two stupid rat creatures from ''{{Bone}}'' like their quiche, though they don't get it often (and one is in denial).
* SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}} likes chimichangas. Not so much eating them, mind you. He just enjoys saying "[[InherentlyFunnyWords chimichanga]]".
* [[ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse Uncle Scrooge's]] favorite food is stated to be lentils in Creator/CarlBarks and Romano Scarpa's "The Lentils from Babylon." He manages to eat seven plates (six as part of a bet, over who would pay the check, between him and his nephews, and one more of the "Lentils from Babylon"), and appears to be willing to eat another six. He amazingly declares that he ate the latter [[spoiler:for "marketing reasons", since the renowned lentils were actually mixed with linseed oil by the Beagle Boys, who, after packaging them at Duckburg (the linseed and their tampering with the ads ensuring that sales were kept low), bought them back at exceedingly low prices and, pricy export after pricy export from one country to another, cleaned them when they returned to Babylon, and so forth.]] Scrooge also seems to favor lettuce and tomato sandwiches, but that might be because they're cheap. It is also stated in other stories that 176-167 has a great fondness for prunes.
** Scrooge's favorite ''drink'' is nutmeg tea.
* [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl 2009}} Batgirl]] Stephanie Brown seems to have a thing for waffles.
** To the point where when her fans began a campaign for her return, they sent waffles and waffle mix. Reportedly, the DC offices are now tempted to make other unused characters fond of maple syrup, so they have something to put on the waffles.
* [[ComicBook/{{Robin}} The Robins]] also have their favorite foods.
** [[{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson]] loves cereal.
** Jason Todd loves chili dogs and [[MemeticMutation bread]].
** Tim Drake loves doughnuts.
*** Not to mention potato chips. He's rarely seen eating anything else. When Damian gets temporarily locked up in a room (supposedly used by Tim normally) after his arrival at Wayne Manor, an opened bag of potato chips can be seen close to the big screen TV.
** Damian also appears to enjoy cereal.
* At the end of every ''ComicStrip/{{Nero}}'' album, the characters have an EveryEpisodeEnding where they traditionally eat Belgian waffles. In real life, during special celebrations of the comic strip, waffles have been baked for the guests and visitors as well.

* Swedish comic character Bobo prefers to eat cucumbers.

* If [[ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} Logan]] has a drink in his hand, you can bet it's beer.
* ComicBook/SpiderMan's love of Aunt May's wheatcakes dates back to his first appearance in Amazing Fantasy. He's also fond of normal flapjacks, as well as pizza. And of course, [[BigApplesauce New York hot dogs]].
** In ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'', Aunt May's spaghetti and meatballs. But according to Uncle Ben, [[LethalChef not her meatloaf]].
* One ''Spider-Man Tangled Webs'' story that featured [[EvilAlbino Tombstone]] as a VillainProtagonist shows his diet isn't very healthy (he is apprehended after suffering a heart attack) but the story also suggests that he's fond of corn bread.
* Very subtly done with [[ComicBook/{{X 23}} Laura Kinney]], who doesn't have one particular favorite food, but favors ''anything'' that's spicy. When questioned on this preference by Gambit, she reveals it overlaps significantly with ComfortFood: She was allowed only very bland fare by the Facility, so eating spicy foods is a way to distance herself from her DarkAndTroubledPast.
* DennisTheMenaceUK has a friend called Pie-Face, who is obsessed with pies.
* Desperate Dan from ''Comicbook/TheDandy'' loves "cow pie", which is a pie made out of [[BigEater an entire cow]], with the horns and tail still sticking out. He also drinks something called "owl hoot juice".
* Most other characters in ''Comicbook/TheBeano'' and ''The Dandy'' are fond of large heaps of mashed potato with sausages stuck in it.
* In ''ComicBook/CerebusTheAardvark'', Cerebus' love of raw potatoes comes up several times; he even yells at someone to "[...] leave the skin on! That's the best part! *CRUNCH*"

** Opus the Penguin loves herring. He also likes Ding-Dongs, Zingers, and similar snack cakes.
** A basselope's favorite food is Pop Tarts. (This is also why the one in the strip is TheLastOfHisKind; they died out due to high blood pressure from clogged arteries because they ate them with too much butter.)
* ''ComicStrip/RasmusKlump'': The cast has at least one pancake dinner in every story.
* ''ZippyThePinhead'' loves Ding-Dongs with taco sauce.

* Very subtly done with [[ComicBook/{{X-23}} Laura Kinney]], who doesn't have one particular favorite food, but favors ''anything'' that's spicy. When questioned on this preference by Gambit, she reveals it overlaps significantly with ComfortFood: She was allowed only very bland fare by the Facility, so eating spicy foods is a way to distance herself from her DarkAndTroubledPast.

** Calvin: Any sugared cereal, but particularly ChocolateFrostedSugarBombs. He is also mentioned to like hamburgers, but is only shown eating them once.

* The MartianManhunter of TheDCU ran into the vagaries of this with his addiction to Oreo cookies. By the time that his solo series did a whole issue about his addiction, the chocolate cookies had become "Chocos" to [[BlandNameProduct avoid any legal difficulties.]]

** In ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'', Aunt May's spaghetti and meatballs. But according to Uncle Ben, [[LethalChef not her meatloaf]].

** Hobbes: Tuna sandwiches
** Calvin: Any sugared cereal, but particularly ChocolateFrostedSugarBombs.
