Oh don't worry, this is more a deconstruction on the comics your describing, for instance, we tackle the subject of strawmen comics in Shredded Moose/CAD/Dominic Deegan/David Willis comics where a strawman whose crimes are usually minor (or simply having a different opinion is defeated by not only intellectually by the main character/mary sue but violently too.
Shredded Moose is the most famous for this actually and they make all their strawmen look downright respectable:

And here's the Watch Ur Mouth comic where this sort of thing happens:

But as horrible and murderous as this may seem, its revealed a couple comics later that this isn't exactly what's going on in actuality. I'll let that be a bit of a teaser for ya to read more.
Don't worry, it's paid for handsomely! I am a failed artist of several years and I have immense respect for artists of all levels of talent. I don't know if you followed the incident with Starfish but I had so much respect for her as an artist I was even willing to cut Car0lyn, the main character out of the Watch Ur Mouth just so she'd feel more comfortable. As rewarded intellectually I get from seeing my own ideas and visions conceptualized I want to do the same for the artist financially if they can illustrate them perfectly!
