There's a Donald Duck comic I remember reading as a kid, where he joins a group of "flippists" and practices "flippism" a philosophy of making decisions via coin flip, taught by a bat, a literal fly-by-night con artist. I recall one of his nephews talking about "-isms" being just kind of bad in general, and the comic ends with the judge giving him a much harsher fine than normal because of how stupid he was being following this "flipism".

The comic is silly and fun, but it does reinforce a lot of ideas about how thinking outside the box is bad, and how anyone pushing a philosophy outside of the mainstream is a dangerous con artist.
