* ''[[Tintin]]''. The Thomson twins are startled by mice used for experiments in "[[Main/Tintin (Comic Book)/Recap/Destination Moon/Recap|RecapDestination Moon]]".
* This once happened in ''[[Archie]]'' when Ms. Grundy jumped on her desk and Jughead took a picture of it for the school newspaper. She actually was worried that the picture would be about how scared she was of a little mouse but instead it turned out to be proof the school needed an exterminator.
* The protagonist of ''Jennifer Blood'' takes advantage of this stereotype in issue 3, when a neighbor who's convinced she's attracted to him has cornered her in a bathroom and exposed himself to her. She doesn't want to ruin her "perfectly ordinary suburban housewife" facade by maiming or killing him, but as someone who moonlights as a brutal [[Vigilante]], that's all she's trained to do. So she starts shrieking about a pretend mouse.
