Line 62:
* In Volume 5 of ''[[Empowered]]'' Emp (kidnapped along with a bunch of the Superhomies' celebrity doubles) [[Bound and Gagged|wriggles out of her restraints]], dons her [[Clothes Make the Superman|super suit]] (which she'd wrapped around her waist) and tells off the double who insulted her earlier. Then for once, just once, she actually ''smiles'' in anticipation because the mooks have no idea what's coming.
* The tract Stinky from ''[[Jack Chick]]'' has a mild example: The [[Punch Clock Villain|title demon]] after failing his task, is seen happily slacking and relaxing at the end while his master is being punished by his boss, [[Satan]]. What makes this special is that all previous tracts ended with all the bad guys, without exception, being thrown to Hell or punished for their failure.
* A ''[[Blondie (comic strip)|Blondie]]'' comic showed '''everything''' going right for Dagwood, like the inversion of a [[Humiliation Conga]]: Mr. Dithers praised him and gave him a raise for some particularly skilled work, Blondie prepared his favorite meal and then smilingly waved him off to poker night, where he can't seem to get a bad hand.... The final panel shows Blondie, sitting up in bed, smiling out at the reader (and looking '''hot''' in her nightie) and saying something to the effect that "[[Breaking the Fourth Wall|after X years in this comic strip]], he deserves a day like this!"
* In ''[[Garfield]]'', Jon is finally now dating Liz the veterinarian, after crushing on her without success for, what? Thirty years?
* Because of [[Spider-Man]]'s status as one the first [[Chew Toys]] of the [[Marvel Universe]], occasionally writers will throw him a bone here and there. Such as [[Stan Lee]] giving him a motorcycle, introducing him to Mary Jane, and generally making his life better after Stan's fellow plotter [[Steve Ditko]] quit Marvel.
