- Boy, have Pearls Before Swine and Dilbert gone through this.
- What's weird is that in one instance ("I yust got out"} it improved the clarity. That's two for a thousand so far.
- When Scott Adams was told he could not have Satan as a character in one of his Dilbert strips, he introduced "Phil the Prince of Insufficient Light", who wielded a large spoon and would temporarily "darn" people to "heck" over relatively minor offenses. Adams does admit that this character ended up being funnier than what he had planned for Satan.
- When Adams did a story about a police officer shooting a criminal in the leg, he was told he couldn't use guns, so instead the officer shoots the crook with his donut, which makes it funnier.
- Discussed in a Peanuts strip where Charlie Brown is reading a child's adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. He claims it's "not unlike drinking diluted root beer!"
