Line 249:
* ''[[Peanuts]]'' could be considered a case of this. Lucy is always throwing her weight around and slugging the other kids (not just [[Butt Monkey|Charlie Brown]] - probably her most frequent target is her own little brother Linus), but the comic never really makes it seem like she's in the right or sympathetic - often calling her a "fussbudget". The other kids never really call her out on this or try to stand up to her though, and she rarely gets in trouble. Although in the case of the kids standing up to her, they might just not want to get on her bad side, and as for her getting in trouble, [[There Are No Adults]].
** Shulz also went on record in several interviews as saying that while a boy bullying a girl wouldn't be seen as funny, the gender reversal in a girl bullying a boy would be seen as funny.
* In ''[[Bringing Up Father]]'', the title character Jiggs would often have various kitchenware thrown at him by his wife. An early ''[[Mad Magazine]]'' parody from [[The Fifties]] deconstructed this by having an [[Art Shift]] on every other page where Jiggs is suddenly drawn realistically, and is covered in blood, scars, and has missing teeth due to his wife's beatings.
* Likewise, in ''[[For Better or For Worse]]'', Elly would sling coffee mugs and similar objects at her husband John from time to time, particularly in its declining years as he faded [[Out of Focus]] by [[Flanderization|spending all his free time playing with his trains]].
* Played for laughs in [http://www.gocomics.com/luann/2000/04/18 one strip] of ''[[Luann]]'', where apparently the classic sawing-a-girl-in-half trick is seen as violence against women. When Bernice suggests sawing ''Gunther'' in half, the counselor doesn't see a problem with it.
* Averted in ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'', where Calvin and Susie beat each other up in roughly equal amounts and are both portrayed as just typical vendetta-driven kids being kids.
** Played with even, [[Word of God]] indicates that this is their way of liking each other.
