Line 61:
* [[DC Comics]]:
** [[New Gods|Scott Free]] and Big Barda. Awww, so cute.
*** Mostly in modern versions; as originally drawn by [[Jack Kirby]], Scott is just as tall as she is.
** Also with Scott Free's Manager Oberon and Fire.
** Post-''[[Zero Hour]]'' ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes]]'' had Monstress and Element Lad, which might also count as [[Beast and Beauty]] except for the fact that Monstress doesn't have a "Beast" personality.

* In ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', Krusty's sidekick Sideshow Mel is a short guy, whose wife (possibly ex-wife) Barbara is much taller than he is.

It's almost like a [[Double Subversion]] in a way.
