Extendable Arms

Take a cartoon, preferably an older one, and find a pair who always end up in fights. Tom and Jerry, Dick Dastardly and Muttley from Wacky Races or virtually anyone from Looney Tunes. Somehow, one character always has a fist which can stretch across an entire country. Or a universe. This is a type of Toon Physics, and is often used with revenge.

Not to be confused with Rubber Man
