* ToiletDrinkingDogGag: The comic strip has the dog Grimm host a poker night at Mother Goose's house. When Attila the cat wonders why the game has been set up in the bathroom, Grimm casually points to the commode and says, "Wet bar." Verily, one dog is slurping away at that moment.

* MurderByCremation: [[http://www.grimmy.com/images/MGG_Archive/MGG_2008/MGG-2008-01-27.gif This]] strip had Grimm's TooDumbToLive friend, Ralph the Boston Terrier, giving a testimony of the death of a possum who had apparently died, so they cremated him and placed his ashes in an urn. [[spoiler: However, the possum's wife shows up, demanding to know where her husband is. When Ralph explains to her what happened, the female possum becomes angry, saying that her husband did not die, but was actually playing possum, [[CaptainObvious like all possums are wont to do]], then starts ranting that her husband is dead and questions about what she'll do now.]]

** In one strip, Grimmy wishes he could fly while throwing a coin down a wishing well. Turns out the well was some kind of "Litteral Wishing Well" since instead of ganing the power of flight, Grimmy finds himself with one giant fly (as in, the insect) in the paws.

'''Mother Goose and Grimm''' is a comic strip begun in 1984 by Mike Peters. The strip centralizes on its title characters: an anthropomorphic goose named MotherGoose, and her dog, Grimm. Except when it chooses to be a one-shot, gag-a-day strip in the vein of ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide''. Other main characters include Atilla the Cat and Ralph the Boston Terrier.
