Examples of Have a Gay Old Time in Newspaper Comics include:
- The June 3, 1983 strip of Garfield is either this or Getting Crap Past the Radar, depending on whether Jim Davis was aware of the Double Entendre or not.
- Although less blatant, the January 5, 2005 [dead link] strip may count too.
- There's a The Far Side cartoon of a bunch of scientists watching a movie featuring a caveman skeleton and the title "IT CAME FROM OLDUVAI". The caption: "Anthro horror films." This obviously refers to anthropologists, but now it would indicate something very different.
- 'Making love' shows up at times in Krazy Kat, in what is probably the original sweet-talk sense, as opposed to the down-and-dirty one.
- Not to mention a strip in which Ignatz's ancestor, in love with Krazy's ancestor (a queen), is apprehended by her guards: "How dare he get gay with our sainted 'Kat'!" Since Krazy is not consistently female, well...
- Many early Broons and Oor Wullie comics had characters using the word "Gey", a now-obsolete eastern Scottish word for "Very". It wasn't unusual for characters to remark: "That's gey queer" when something odd was up! Another strip in particular had Horace refer to Gran'paw as a "Deif auld faggot", "faggot" at the time in Scotland meaning something tired and/or useless.
