* In the Creator/VertigoComics one-shot ''Totems'', which takes place on New Year's Eve, a nutty ConspiracyTheorist named Bernie Madden tries to convince his ex-wife to take him back after going through a bizarre adventure with [[ComicBook/DoomPatrol Robotman]], ComicBook/SwampThing, ComicBook/BlackOrchid, ComicBook/AnimalMan and [[ComicBook/ShadeTheChangingMan Rac Shade]]. When his ex-wife is coerced by her new lover to still refuse to take Bernie back, Bernie then tries to shoot himself, but the gun jams. Instead of being upset by the BungledSuicide, Bernie takes his failure to kill himself as a sign that he must change his attitude and enjoy life.
