We all know how awful it is when monsters attack us. But occasionally there is a monster that crosses another line and becomes verbally abusive before attacking. This is literally adding insult to injury and it is a horrible thing to do to someone.

A good example can be seen here in this excerpt from Marvel Comics' "BEWARE!" #1 from 1973. It shows a werewolf being very rude and insulting when disturbed in the middle of its poetry-reading session. The werewolf says "You Englishmen are all alike" and calls the hunter a "fool" and a "cad" and a "little man."

"Shocking"is the only word for it.
