Line 39:
* Invoked in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' issue #8. After beating Robotnik's super hero themed robots, Sonic is about to beat him up but slips on some motor oil. Robotnik then escapes riding ''Crabmeat'', after which, Sonic pulls out the Comics Code handbook and comments that the villain always gets away in the end.
* In ''[[Daredevil]]'' #17, the Masked Marauder slips away from view long enough to beat up a security guard and steal his uniform, escaping capture to menace New York another day.
* Parodied in ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons Comic]]'': Bart and Lisa have just survived a run-in with Sideshow Bob, Kang and Kodos. Bob sees a helicopter with a rope-ladder hanging from it and assumes his henchmen have prepared his escape. He gives the standard "We shall meet again" speech and flees - only to realise something:
{{quote|'''Bob''' ''(halfway up the ladder)'': Wait a minute! Good Lord, I don't ''have'' any henchmen!
'''Wiggum''': Looks like our new "hands-off" approach to fighting crime is working. }}
