* Annie's father in the ''[[Masters of Horror]]'' episode "Cigarette Burns". Kirby treats him like an unreasonable jerkass, but Kirby did get his daughter killed by indulging her drug habit, abysmally failed to get her on the right track despite agreeing with him to do so, is still massively in debt to him, and just evades him whenever the topic of repaying the loan comes up. {{spoiler|It's only when he resolves to kill Kirby that he crosses the line into outright villainy.}}

Danae from ''[[Non Sequitur]]'' is a [[Straw Feminist]], a [[Windmill Crusader]], has created a [[Scam Religion]], and endless tries to use [[Loophole Abuse]] and/or [[Insane Troll Logic]] to gain money, influence, or both. However, unlike her brainy friend Jeffery (who usually points out the flaws in her hare-brained schemes) she's smart enough to know that zombies don't exist, something she tells Jeffery whenever he's preparing for a [[Zombie Apocalypse]].
** Of course, in Jeffery's defense here, while zombies have yet to appear in the strip, creatures that ''have'' appeared (as regulars) include [[Talking Animal]]s, ghosts, Martians, and sea monsters, so zombies [[Arbitrary Skepticism|might not be as infeasible as Danae believes.]]
* In ''[[Peanuts]]'', Lucy is a mean and "crabby" person who insults the rest of the cast, but sometimes she's very accurate in doing so:
** For instance, in one series of strips where Snoopy becomes a Beagle Scout and goes on a hike, Charlie Brown wonders if he got lost; Lucy is pretty certain he did, saying, "That stupid beagle couldn't find his way across the kitchen floor!" Not only did Snoopy get lost (and as Lucy is saying that, is waiting for the moon to rise, thinking that he can use it to find his way home because he thinks [[Shout-Out| the moon is always over Hollywood]]), he's eventually [[Never Live It Down| rescued by a Girl Scout selling cookies]].
** There was also the time Snoopy was promoted to Head Beagle. Lucy was comically terrified during the whole arc, calling him incompetent and saying he'd "probably get impeached". Unfortunately, she was right here too. Snoopy was a pretty incompetent Head Beagle (not helped by having Woodstock as a secretary or his predecessor, who left things an awful mess) and by his own admission, every one of the 120 decisions he made in a day was wrong. Eventually, true to Lucy's prediction, he was replaced.
