* ''[[Secret Wars]] 2'' had the Beyonder in human form pigging out on a gangster's yacht. He later vaporizes the flab in a second.
* The [[New Universe]] title ''[[
* Superdickery juxtaposes two ''Jimmy Olsen'' covers ([http://tinyurl.com/5klkxo here] and [http://tinyurl.com/5b4v25 here]) to reference this trope, though strictly speaking the two issues were published over a year apart (July 1959 and December 1960) and are not actually connected.
* In "The Day Flash Weighed [[American Customary Measurements|1,000 Pounds]]" (''The Flash'' #115, 1960), the [[Flash]] is zapped with a super-fattening ray by the villain of the week (who then, to add insult to injury, gives him amnesia and sells him to a traveling carnival as a sideshow attraction). He's back to normal by the end of the issue, thanks to an implausibly fast (even given that this is the Fastest Man Alive) weight-loss regimen.
Line 13:
* In one ''[[The Beano]]'' strip of ''The Bash Street Kids'', the already balloon-bellied Fatty is forced to play football (soccer), but as his name indicates he is not the fittest of characters. He solves this problem by playing in goal, and eating so much that he is fat enough to fill the entire goal-mouth!
* Happens on a few occasions to Nemo and Flip in ''[[Little Nemo]] in Slumberland'' after they eat something unusual.
* In ''[[X
* ''[[Gold Digger (Comic Book)|Gold Digger]]'' has, amongst its [[Cute Monster Girl|Cute Monster Girls]], the [[Winged Humanoid|Harpy]] Charlotte, a [[The Ditz|ditzy]] woman who is so obsessed with peanuts and pretzels that she goes temporarily insane around them and [[Big Eater|devours every last one she can find to the point of almost killing herself]]. This invariably results in a visibly distended stomach, if she can get enough, and once gets her [[Mistaken for Pregnant]] after she waddles off of a plane groaning in the after-effects of a bingefest.
* Issue 62 of ''[[Gen 13]]'' features a very subtle use of this after a main character binges on junk food.
