* ''Webcomic/Goblins'' characters are drawn in this style to soften some of the {{Gorn}}-ier moments.

* The WoodyWoodpecker cartoon "Operation Sawdust" has Buzz Buzzard cut lengthwise, showing Buzz to be hollow. A subversion, in that the hollowness is a reflection of Buzz's anti-hero character in this cartoon.

* Played with in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''' ShowWithinAShow, ''The Itchy and Scratchy Show''.

This [[DependingOnTheWriter depends]] on how gruesome the scene was scripted.

* ''Manga/OnePiece'': A fan once asked Creator/EiichiroOda why [[VillainousHarlequin Buggy the Clown]] doesn't bleed when he uses his DetachmentCombat ability. The answer was more or less: [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids this is still a kid's show]].

* This has happened a couple times in ''WesternAnimation/Animaniacs'', In "Scare Happy Slappy" Walter Wolf is blown in half by a bomb his innards are empty.

* The WesternAnimation/HermanAndKatnip cartoon "Mouseum" shows Herman powering a bladed wheel behind Katnip that shears off successive layers from the cat from back to front.

* The opening animations from ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTheMovie'' include one where Tom and Jerry are dueling with fencing swords. Jerry makes several rapid vertical slashes at Tom, who thinks he came away unscathed. Tom then falls apart in slices like a bologna loaf. TheNostalgiaCritic still accused it of "showing blood" because his insides were shown as bright red rather than gray like in a similar scene from one of the shorts (see below).
