Line 17:
** In yet ''another'' comic, when he starts eating healthily to set a good example for his baby sister, he starts passing out a lot and it turns out he's hypoglycemic (or at least comic-book!hypoglycemic).
** In yet another another story, Jughead tells Betty and Veronica he stays thin with peanut butter. They eat a ton of it and gain weight like nothing. When they confront him, he says that he just really likes peanut butter and his exercise regiment must keep him thin. The girls pummel him.
* Maggy from the Brazilian ''[[Monica's Gang]]'' comics. Her favorite food is watermelons... which she swallows whole. In one story, [[Dracula]] (or other generic vampire) bites Maggy without knowing who she is and, in a rampant hunger, she starts to bite and transform every single person she meets in a vampire, creating some sort of [[Zombie Apocalypse|Vampire Apocalypse]]. [[My God, What Have I Done?|After learning]] that the world order may be in serious trouble, Dracula must [[Time Travel|go back in time]] to prevent this.
* In the comic ''[[The New Universe|DP7]]'', Blur is another example of a [[Super Speed|super-speedster]] who has to constantly eat to fuel his metabolism. Before he got his superpowers he was overweight, bordering on obese, and worked as a manager at a fast food joint.
* Yorick from German comic ''YPS''.
Line 40:
* Fatty of Class IIB, Bash Street School, from ''[[The Beano]]''.
* Minnie the Minx's nemesis Fatty Fudge, who had a brief solo series in [[The Eighties]] where he would travel around the world eating different countries' national dishes.
* Allfather D'Aronique from ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]'' is rather disturbing. Not only is he practically spherical and too heavy to fly in a helicopter, but he's ''bulimic'', and he has a golden finger-on-a-stick that his servants use during his meals.
* It's hard to tell if Grossout from ''[[Scare Tactics (Comic Book)|Scare Tactics]]'' is fat as he is essentially a walking tumor. But he definitely was fat before he was [[Blessed With Suck]].
* In ''[[Judge Dredd]]'', there's an entire [[Subculture]] called the Fatties whose collective hobby is eating and entering eating contests. Many of them are so fat that they need support wheels attached to their bellies just to move. In early comics, they were tolerated; they have since been declared illegal, but they still exist.
