While reading through the early stuff, I always get a kick out of seeing the artist draw something that is incredibly violent, only to have Stan, or another writer, wiggle out of it. Most of the time this was a building getting wrecked during a super fight, and one character mentions that it was empty because it had already been marked for demolition.

My favorite example was in Fantastic Four Annual Vol 1 5. The first thing Psycho-Man does when he is introduced, is use a fear ray on one of his subordinates. The subordinate screams in terror, and jumps through a closed window. One panel shows him hurtling away from the building, surrounded by shard of broken glass, and he is clearly multiple stories above ground level. The next panel has Psycho-Man, without even looking out the window, declaring, "He landed on the ledge below! When he recovers... in the hospital... no one will believe his story! They'll think he's mad!"
