* ''ComicBook/SwampThing'': Deconstructed in Creator/AlanMoore's run. After pictures of her and (the admittedly anthropomorphic) Swamp Thing are shown in newspapers, Abigail Cable is arrested for her relationship and charged with "crimes against nature", the laws that would usually be used to prosecute the aforementioned screwers of farm animals. She's arrested, fired from her job, her reputation is ruined, everyone starts treating her like a horrible sex offender, and Swampy is forced to cover almost the entirety of Gotham in greenery in order to secure her release. It is up to Batman to point out what would happen if the authorities arrest everyone in Franchise/TheDCU who has a relationship with a non-human, and it's the delivery that just ''nails'' it as a '''literal''' SpaceWhaleAesop. Eventually we '''''will''''' run into intelligent non-humans, and perhaps the biggest part of WhatMeasureIsANonHuman is whether or not we believe them -- or they believe us -- worthy of [[ThePowerOfLove love]].

* Also subverted by Myth/JapaneseMythology and popular folklore (as well as popular culture, as Japanese porn is notorious for eroticizing women having sex with animals, especially those with tentacles, e.g. the infamous classic painting, The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife, where a woman has sex with an octopus) , as the national traditional religion Shinto is similarly animist, where literally ''everything'' has a spirit, which becomes sentient with age. This is best seen in the case of stories involving the ''Kitsune'' who are foxes who magically shapeshift between human and animal forms, where the females are almost always idealized as the perfect wives (though the love stories usually have bittersweet tragic ends, as is customary in Japanese traditional romances). In fact, the word ''Kit-su-ne'' literally means ''Come sleep with me''.

* In ''ComicBook/BatmanDarkAllegiances'', an {{Elseworld}}s story set in the 1930s, one character keeps insinuating that there is a blue movie of actress Kitty Graymalkin (a.k.a. ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}) having unnatural relations with a Rottweiler. It's also implied that this is the film that was made while she was blackout drunk and being used as blackmail against her.

* An infected man rapes and stabs a dolphin to death while singing about his mother in ''ComicBook/{{Crossed}}''.
* Oddly deconstructed/ignored when it comes to ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol'' villains The Brain and Monsieur Mallah during Grant Morrison's run. The former is normally a disembodied BrainInAJar and the latter is a scientifically evolved genius gorilla. When The Brain was temporarily placed in a robot body, they confessed their love for each other. The species difference is rarely, if ever, mentioned. All that gets mentioned is that they are both male. What's also rarely mentioned is the Brain is the one who gave Mallah his enhanced intelligence, after essentially raising and educating him for over a decade. [[spoiler:As of ''ComicBook/UnstoppableDoomPatrol'' #1, Mallah turned against Brain and murdered him while coldly stating whatever they had "turned toxic" long ago.]]

* In the second volume of Creator/AlanMoore's ''ComicBook/LeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'', Mina Harker and Alan Quartermain meet Doctor Moreau's animal people. The polar bear Moreau is cranky and violent, and Moreau states that they calm him down by paying a local lady to have coitus with him. "A matronly lady, a grandmother I believe..."[[note]]This is a joke about the notorious "schoolkids' issue" of the 1960s hippie counterculture magazine ''Oz'', which led to the publishers being prosecuted for obscenity — a particularly controversial item in the issue was a collage comic in which ComicStrip/RupertBear was pasted into a pornographic comic by Creator/RobertCrumb, apparently having sex with a Crumb character called "Gypsy Granny".[[/note]]
* In the ''ComicBook/PowerGirl'' series, it's strongly implied that Satanna had sex with the Ultra-Humanite after he first was transplanted into his gorilla body, much to PG's disgust.
* A favorite of Creator/GarthEnnis, particularly in ''ComicBook/{{Preacher}}'', where Jesus de Sade, the world's wealthiest and most accomplished pervert, is offered an armadillo on a silver platter by his manservant. De Sade is also stated to have sodomized all the city zoo's larger quadrupeds, leading to the armadillo incident above. Also, during the party thrown by De Sade, we see a guy in the stocks surrounded by sheep, saying "Do it, you sluts!". The comic itself is chock full of people having sex with weird stuff, including but not limited to: A chicken, a salmon, an armadillo, [[CargoShip a birthday cake]] and a [[NauseaFuel bunch of meat stacked up to vaguely resemble a giant woman]]. At least 3 of these by the same character. Though the one sheep we see is a case of NotWhatItLooksLike — the newly-vampired Cassidy jumped from underwater without looking where he was going, landing on a sheep's rump and holding on very tightly, just in front of the owner.

* Done twice by the Italian comic book ''[[ComicBook/RatMan1989 Rat-Man]]''. As usual with the series, it's completely insane:

* Another Millar example with ''ComicBook/{{Reborn}}'': [[EvilOverlord Golgotha]] keeps a massive lion-headed dragon as his ''lover''. We even get a scene of visiting him on a bed ReadyForLovemaking.

* In ''ComicBook/RequiemVampireKnight'', [[MorallyBankruptBanker Black Sabbath]] was in love with Aiwass, a [[AnimalisticAbomination demonic entity that assumed the form of a male mandrill]]. Even though it could take any shapes it wants even a feminine humanoid form, Sabbath prefers the animal form better as he finds their relationship purer due to transcending [[InterspeciesRomance species]] and even superior to [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Heinrich]] and [[CuteGhostGirl Rebecca's]] [[OfficialCouple romance]].

* One of the "Meanwhile" stories from ''ComicBook/{{Squee}}'' had a man forced to have sex with a chicken by aliens in order for them to study human sexual behavior. In the end, the man marries the chicken and has children with it.
* Deconstructed in Creator/AlanMoore's ''ComicBook/SwampThing'' run. After pictures of her and (the admittedly anthropomorphic) Swamp Thing are shown in newspapers, Abigail Cable is arrested for her relationship and charged with "crimes against nature", the laws that would usually be used to prosecute the aforementioned screwers of farm animals. She's arrested, fired from her job, her reputation is ruined, everyone starts treating her like a horrible sex offender, and Swampy is forced to cover almost the entirety of Gotham in greenery in order to secure her release. It is up to Batman to point out what would happen if the authorities arrest everyone in Franchise/TheDCU who has a relationship with a non-human, and it's the delivery that just ''nails'' it as a '''literal''' SpaceWhaleAesop. Eventually we '''''will''''' run into intelligent non-humans, and perhaps the biggest part of WhatMeasureIsANonHuman is whether or not we believe them — or they believe us — worthy of [[ThePowerOfLove love]].

* ''ComicBook/TankGirl'''s boyfriend is an [[UpliftedAnimal intelligent mutated]] kangaroo. It's unclear how proper this is considered in the setting, but Tank Girl herself has never cared much about propriety.
* A famous joke and former page quote is replicated nearly word for word in ''ComicBook/{{Transmetropolitan}}'' (except it's a janitor in a convention hall and not a farmer) with throwaway character "Bill Chimpfucker". Before this, there's a throwaway line about how Spider Jerusalem's cat [[CatsAreMean tried to have sex with Channon's boyfriend]].
* ''ComicBook/{{Viz}}'' featured a strip titled ''George Bestial'', with the titular character getting into shenanigans that involved attempting to shag animals.
* Mr. Rictus from the Creator/MarkMillar comic mini-series ''ComicBook/{{Wanted}}''. (In the Brazilian translation, it's changed to kangaroos, since [[KangaroosRepresentAustralia he's Australian]].)

* In ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'' ComicBook/New52 run, the First-Born was a humanoid deity that bred with hyenas and spawned a cadre of [[SemiDivine demigod]] [[HalfHumanHybrid hyena-man]] that serve as [[{{Mooks}} his foot soldiers]].
* Also gets a deconstructive nod in ''ComicBook/XMen.'' Beast's already blue and furry, but when he undergoes a secondary mutation that leaves him looking more feline than hominid, his girlfriend breaks up with him because the tabloids start comparing the relationship to bestiality.

'''Tarquin:''' ...Huh.
