Line 92:
* The Spanish comic magazine ''[[El Jueves]]'' had a story, ''Emili<s>a</s>o'' where a girl, Emilia, pretended to a boy to do the mandatory conscription in the Army and be with her boyfriend.
* Agnès de Roselande/Isabeau de Marnaye in the Francois Bourgeon's historical series ''[[Les Passagers Du Vent]]''.
* In one ''[[Weird War Stories]]'', a drummer boy being held in a [[American Civil War]] prison camp turns out to be a girl, leading to a [[Sweet on Polly Oliver]]
* "Jack", in the ''Deathwatch'' comic strip by [[Paul Cornell]] (Elizabethan ''[[Judge Dredd]]''), is quite clearly a girl wearing a false moustache to work as an actor. And, inevitably, [[Recursive Crossdressing|ends up playing Helen of Troy]] in ''[[Faust]]''. Surprisingly, while the [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]] acts as [[Only Sane Man]] to the [[Medieval Morons]] in just about every other respect, this is the one point where he has a blind spot as well.
* Subverted in ''[[Demon Knights]]'' with the Shining Knight (who is a Sweet Polly Oliver in some other versions as well). Her costume looks convincing to the reader (due to the fact that she's very flat-chested) but fools ''no one'' in-universe.
