  • This immortal discussion between Diana Prince and Etta Candy from the original Wonder Woman #1, about how Diana's worried about Etta's eating habits.
    Diana Prince: You know Etta, you ought to cut down on the candy. It will ruin your constitution-
    Etta Candy: Nuts, deary! My constitution has room for lots of amendments.
    Diana Prince: But Etta, if you get too fat you can't catch a man-
    Etta Candy: Who wants to? When you've got a man, there's nothing you can do with him — but candy you can eat!
  • In one Silver Age comic, Manno the Merman tries to impress Diana, only to have her go with Steve Trevor in a contest to see which man she would choose. Angrily, he pursues the duo straight into the forest, with all the grace of a legless half-fish on land, the whole time swearing bloody murder at Steve and vowing to prove himself as the more worthy suitor for Diana. He then gets snatched up by a giant bird, forcing Diana to rescue him and humiliating him in front of Steve, who openly mocks him.
  • During a JLA arc written by Gail Simone, at one point as the JLA hold a briefing to deal with their current opponents, Wonder Woman provides a tray of pomegranate pastries she had just baked, claiming that they were her mother's recipe. Green Lantern and The Flash immediately respond, "Wonder Woman...baked...?" The pastries turned out to be delicious. At the end of the briefing after the team came up with a strategy against their foes, Batman gave everyone their marching orders, finishing with, "And one more thing. Diana, Alfred will want this recipe."

  • Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman is taking on most of Batman's rogues gallery with the assistance of Harley Quinn and Catwoman. As we see The Penguin, Two-Face, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, The Riddler, and Man-Bat all get taken down, we see The Joker... hailing a cab.
    • The Joker later tries to hold the cabbie hostage at knife-point, but Two-Face informs Wonder Woman that J won't kill the innocent because if he does, he loses a bet Two-Face made with him that he couldn't go a whole day without killing someone. Joker takes a super-powered punch to the jaw rather than lose his bet.
    • During the same story, it is suggested that Wonder Woman should use "Gotham-style solutions" for the city's Gotham-style problems. Her sole concession is to use Wonder-rangs which are as funny as they are awesome.

  • During Greg Rucka's run on Wonder Woman (1987), Carissa and Dr. Anderson snarking at each other about the best way to help Diana (who was blinded during her fight with Medusa).
    Carissa: Don't tell me [Wonder Woman] hasn't told you glorified barbers about our purple healing ray?
    Dr. Anderson: Maybe she was embarrassed to call it that.
