* In ''[[Pearls Before Swine]]'', Stephan Pastis has made a habit of setting up [[Incredibly Lame Pun|puns that are beyond lame]]. As of late, this has been lampshaded almost every time with Rat ''demanding'' that Pastis quit cartooning. |

* ''[[Garfield]]'': |

** Weird misfortunes happening to the protagonist on Mondays, like finding a land mine in his breakfast, a freak rainstorm ''inside'' the house, getting caught in the window blind, and so on. |
|||
** The protagonist being attacked by "spluts", mysterious pies that come out of nowhere and [[Pie in the Face|hit him in the face.]] Often this overlaps with the Monday gags. |
|||
** [[Diet Episode]] arcs; [[Word of God| Jim Davis]] once claimed that when ''he'' goes on a diet, so does Garfield. Again, this also often overlaps with the Monday gags. |
|||
** '''NAP ATTACK!''' Sometimes this is for Garfield's benefit - being lazy and taking naps at moment's notice - sometimes not, like when he has one at "full throttle" and crashes. |
