Karma Houdini/Newspaper Comics: Difference between revisions

* Dogbert from ''[[Dilbert]]'' and Rat from ''[[Pearls Before Swine]]'' frequently do terrible things for their own gain and/or amusement and rarely suffer any punishment for their actions. Of course, this is [[Rule of Funny|played for laughs]].

** Lampshaded, justified and/or generally [[Playing with a Trope|played with]] by Dogbert himself at least once, in the Aug. 6, 2005 strip.

* [[Garfield]] is a constant offender of this trope. He regularly bullies Odie and makes Jon's life hell, yet almost ''never'' receives comeuppance.

** It's subverted in ''[[The Garfield Show]]'' however, where Garfield (who's actually [[Took a Level In Kindness|kinder]] in that series) loses a lot. Instead it's Nermal who's the Karma Houdini.
