Everett True by A.D. Condo
[ID: Everett stands grumpily on the front porch of a neighbor's house, holding up a small white cat. /end]
Everett: I see you folks are back from your two weeks' vacation. Here's your cat you left wandering around the neighborhood to half starve.
[ID: Everett sets the cat down, who begins rubbing herself against Everett's legs. The neighbor happily bends down to look. /end]
Neighbor: Why, she seems well nourished at that, Mr. True.
[ID: Everett takes the man's head and slams it to the ground. His cat jumps away. /end]
Everett: Yes, in the two weeks, she has eaten nine dollars' worth of cream, meat and fish that I ordered for her and had charged to your accounts!!!
[INFLATION GUIDE: In 2022 dollars, that's a grocery bill of about $160. /end]

Yes, the urban legend is correct: on June 3, 1991 there was a Foxtrot comic where Peter hit a guy so hard that it drew blood, for mocking his disabled girlfriend.

Here's an article, a podcast episode, and a 1988 review from the New York Times.

August 18, 1946. In the comic books, the regeneration of Two-Face lasted for more than a decade, but in the syndicated Batman newspaper strip, Two-Face met a different and much grimmer end. This Sunday newspaper continuity was written by Bill Finger, who wrote Two-Face's early comic book appearances, and borrows parts of its plot from those stories (this scene is a variation of one from DETECTIVE COMICS #66), but the newspaper Two-Face is a vain actor, Harvey Apollo, not a district attorney; he has no fiancée; and he's presented as being unwilling to consider plastic surgery out of wounded vanity, rather than the only capable surgeon being in a Nazi concentration camp (as was initially the case in the comic book stories). Several of the continuities of the newspaper strip were similarly repurposed from early comic book stories.
This was one of the last Sunday continuities of the 1940s BATMAN newspaper strip, which ended in late 1946. Unlike Superman, who would remain a newspaper comics stalwart for many years, Batman and Robin's track record in the newspapers was hit and miss.
