The phrase "The butler did it" is commonly credited to American mystery novelist Mary Roberts Rinehart, although she never actualy used it in her books. But she did have a butler do it in her 1930 murder mystery The Door.
The inimitable Cecil Adams of the Straight Dope has more, which I shan't repeat here.
I think I have another trope to try get IWC listed on.
(If you see a new butler character introduced in the new strips, don't worry. He'll be perfectly innocent...)
