Examples of Have a Gay Old Time in Newspaper Comics include:

- Although less blatant, the January 5, 2005 [dead link] strip may count too.
- There's a The Far Side cartoon of a bunch of scientists watching a movie featuring a caveman skeleton and the title "IT CAME FROM OLDUVAI". The caption: "Anthro horror films." This obviously refers to anthropologists, but now it would indicate something very different.
