Star Wars
  • Star Wars: Kanan: Corporal "Big-Mouth" really likes the meiloorun fruit, and his squadmates are often surprised at how good he is at finding it on planets where it doesn't grow.
  • Star Wars Adventures: Kaz really likes those nut-looking things that they serve in the Ace lounges, enough to stuff them in his mouth by the handful.

  • Jughead of Archie Comics may love to eat every type of food, but he has a special place in his heart, um, stomach for hamburgers. His Super-Powered Alter Ego, Captain Hero, even has the image of a hamburger for his Chest Insignia.
  • In Asterix, while roast wild boar is the staple diet of most of the Gauls, Obelix in particular obsesses over it. Being a Big Eater, he will have an entire boar, if not several. To give an extreme example, in The Twelve Tasks of Asterix Obelix was offered Nectar and Ambrosia (the food of the drink of the gods) on the Isle of Pleasure, but it's not boar and Obelix won't stay on an island without boar.
  • Most other characters in The Beano and The Dandy are fond of large heaps of mashed potato with sausages stuck in it.
  • Swedish comic character Bobo prefers to eat cucumbers.
  • The two stupid rat creatures from Bone like their quiche, though they don't get it often (and one is in denial).
  • In Cerebus the Aardvark, Cerebus' love of raw potatoes comes up several times; he even yells at someone to "[...] leave the skin on! That's the best part! *CRUNCH*"
  • Desperate Dan from The Dandy loves "cow pie", which is a pie made out of an entire cow, with the horns and tail still sticking out. He also drinks something called "owl hoot juice".
  • Uncle Scrooge's favorite food is stated to be lentils in Romano Scarpa's "The Lentils from Babylon." He manages to eat seven plates (six as part of a bet, over who would pay the check, between him and his nephews, and one more of the "Lentils from Babylon"), and appears to be willing to eat another six. He amazingly declares that he ate the latter for "marketing reasons", since the renowned lentils were actually mixed with linseed oil by the Beagle Boys, who, after packaging them at Duckburg (the linseed and their tampering with the ads ensuring that sales were kept low), bought them back at exceedingly low prices and, pricy export after pricy export from one country to another, cleaned them when they returned to Babylon, and so forth. Scrooge also seems to favor lettuce and tomato sandwiches.
    • Scrooge is actually a Big Eater in general. While his love of eating usually isn't seen because he's, well cheap, he does eat quit a lot when someone else is footing the bill.
    • Beagle Boy 176-167 has a great fondness for prunes.
  • G.I. Joe: Breaker is constantly chewing gum. He's literally never seen without it and is willing to ignore direct orders to discard it.
    • All of the Dreadnoks are inordinately fond of chocolate donuts. It's pretty much all they talk about, and sometimes the only thing they can ever agree on. Though if donuts are unavailable, chocolate anything else will do.
  • Brittany in Gold Digger is a very big fan of tuna.
  • Groo the Wanderer walks the land in search of Cheese Dip.
  • Hellboy is very fond of pancakes (which he calls pamcakes due to a childhood mispronunciation). This is extreme to the point that when he first ate them at the age of 2 all the demons of Hell started lamenting, with an Infernal archduke stating that Hellboy would never return to them now, and Astaroth saying it was their darkest hour. Hellboy also loves nachos, Baby Ruths, chili and beer as well.
    • Abe is very fond of rotten eggs.
  • Roxy from Jem and the Holograms (IDW) adores bagels and is usually seen eating one at least once an appearance.
  • The Lion King: Wild Schemes & Catastrophes reveals that besides grubs, Timon also has a hankering for eggs, which is something that meerkats do eat in real-life. The entire comic revolves around Timon finding a lone ostrich egg and wanting to eat it, but things make him safeguard the egg instead, from a curious troop of baboons to a hungry jackal. This eventually causes him to not want to eat the egg after all — and just in time too, since the egg hatches, and the mother ostrich thanks him for keeping her daughter safe.
  • In the Lucky Luke book "The Daltons in the Blizzard", the well-mannered Canadian Mounty Corporal Pendergast always orders "tea with a drop of milk" when in need of refreshments.
  • The Maxx loves Pez and toast.
  • While Maggy from Brazilian comic book series Monica's Gang loves any kind of food, she particularly loves watermelons, being the food she is seen eating most of the times.
  • Sonic from Sonic the Comic loves fast food in general but is especially into bean burgers.
  • Over in Sonic's American title from Archie Comics, Sonic's favorite food is chili dogs, which he lovingly calls "the food of the hogs!"
  • According to Word of God, Tangle and Whisper from the IDW Sonic comics like strawberries and pound cake, respectively.
  • Tintin: Captain Haddock is fond of whisky, especially Loch Lomond brand.
