History BreakingTheFourthWall / Webcomics

* ''Webcomic/BeyondTheEnd'':Characters frequently break the fourth wall to make silly comments, particularly in regards to the writing of the story itself. Such as [[https://beyondtheend.gay/index.html?pg=1359#showComic End commenting on the 2 years it took to publish the Deadwoods arc]] and Death telling Hal that this story isn't about him and his backstory, so there's no point dwelling on it.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Clarissa}}'' the titular protagonist does a story arc where she addresses the audience directly on the subject of how kids like her can avoid being molested by their sexually abusive fathers during bathtime. Subverted at the end, as we see Clarissa has been talking to herself in the mirror.

* ''Webcomic/CarryOn'': Lieutenant Krueger has been known to [[http://www.hirezfox.com/km/co/co1024/d/20170913.html bribe Kathy Garrison-Kellogg so a rope bridge won't break.]] Both he and Kathy Grrsn have also been [[http://www.hirezfox.com/km/co/co1024/d/20201026.html kicked through the fourth wall]], and he and Sandy have both opened doors to [[http://www.hirezfox.com/km/co/co1024/d/20201116.html comment about the plot to the aforementioned cartoonist.]]

* ''[[http://www.shapequest.net/ Shape Quest]]'', an RPG video game parody comic, does this during the first strip, where Lance acknowledges that he is poorly drawn and tries to think of something clever to say so people will continue reading past the first strip.

* You want literal breaking the fourth wall? Check out [[http://www.neomonsterisland.com/tktarkv/vol3/027/1320/1.html this]] episode of ''Webcomic/TwistedKaijuTheater''."
* In this ''Random Chaos'' [[http://randomchaos.smackjeeves.com/comics/810994/the-dark-master-pt-3/ strip]] the '''reader''' is killed. Complete with blood splattered on the "screen".
* The {{SpriteComic}} [[http://f4e.anarchicq.com FRIENDS 4 EVER!!!!]] has engaged in breaking the fourth wall a few times.
%%* In [[http://girlyyy.com/go/760 this]] ''WebComic/{{Girly}}'' episode Otra comes real close to BTFW but does a nice save in the next panel.
* Several characters of ''Webcomic/SandraAndWoo'' have already broken the fourth wall, for example [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/11/09/0110-pie/ Sandra]], [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/11/16/0112-the-physical-impossibility-of-falling-in-the-mind-of-someone-walking/ Woo]] and [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/09/02/0196-no-night-in-spiderman/ Cloud's father David]]. Larisa [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/01/22/0652-axed-scene/ literally]] breaks the fourth wall in one strip. With an ''axe''.
* In "The Cartoon Chronicles of Conroy Cat", where all cartoon characters are actors in Cartoon Land, the Fourth Wall is revealed [[http://dtoons.com/conroy/2010/09/the-4th-wall/ here]] to be one of the main principles of ToonPhysics.
* The narrator/author [[http://blip.rampagenetwork.com/49/ gets in trouble]] in ''Webcomic/{{Blip}}''; K is ''not'' happy.
* ''Webcomic/DungeonsAndDenizens'' breaks the wall [[http://dungeond.com/2010/10/28/10282010/ from both directions]]. Skip back two pages and read the comments to get the whole story.

* Early on in ''Webcomic/GameDestroyers'', [[http://www.gamedestroyers.net/104 Spiffy breaks the fourth wall]] by pointing out a PlotHole.
* [[http://www.drunkduck.com/Dragon_City Dragon City]]'s fourth wall is usually only broken by Erin and she often gets in trouble with her mom for it. Most of her other family members try to avoid it.
* ''Webcomic/{{Jix}}'' generally tries to avoid it, but sometimes one or two of the characters slip. The first time it happened, Jix was trying to stop Lauren from doing it. It all went downhill from there.
* In ''Webcomic/TheFuzzyFive'', some of the LivingToys [[http://www.fuzzyfive.com/2011/comic/29-voyage-to-the-center-of-sorority-row/ do]] [[http://www.fuzzyfive.com/2011/comic/35-was-it-adam-west/ this]] [[http://www.fuzzyfive.com/2011/comic/71-the-thrilling-conclusion-part-ii/ occasionally]].
* [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=2203 This]] [[WebComic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal SMBC]] comic has the entire human race break the fourth wall ''of the universe'' after figuring out that it is just a simulation.
* Every chapter of ''Tales of Gnosis College'' ends with a "Women of Gnosis" pin-up that depicts one of the series's female characters and contains a brief caption. One of these characters -- Iris Brockman -- uses her caption to complain to the reader about how she got neither a name nor a dialog line in the preceding chapter.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2077 played with: Slick announces it, and has Squidly break down a wall]] -- but since he narrates it for the audience, he really is breaking the fourth wall.
* ''Webcomic/Shameless2012'' gives us this [[http://cosmic-angel-raine.deviantart.com/art/Omake-Theater-01-Nana-isn-t-Seven-351732813 bonus strip]] in which Seven directly explains to the audience why she looks different than the other Cosmos.
* In ''Webcomic/SurvivorFanCharacters'', there is a character named Eli in [=SFC11=] that constantly broke the fourth wall, because he knows how the editing tricks on Survivor worked.
* ''Webcomic/ScoobAndShag'': This is an in-universe side-effect of having too much Ballyhoo energy, as characters will begin to hear the voices of those watching them -- i.e., their in-universe viewers and the comic's readers alike -- and reflexively addressing them.

* ''WebComic/{{EATATAU}}!!! doesn't often do this, but sometimes the Eldar just has to [[http://eatatau.smackjeeves.com/comics/810949/that-s-your-fault/ argue with the narrator.]]

** Played for laughs in [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2004-09-29 this strip]].

* ''Webcomic/SexyLosers'' did this in a [[http://sexylosers.com/special20.html crossover]] (barely SFW) and a [[http://sexylosers.com/g015.html guest strip]] ({{NSFW}}) did the same joke to, er, completion.
* [[http://www.flyingmanandfriends.com Flying Man and Friends]] does this on a regular basis, with characters addressing or reacting to readers. In [[http://www.flyingmanandfriends.com/?p=260 this strip]], there was even an actual wall underneath the comic, which was peeled away to reveal it.
* ''Untitled!'' had elements of this early on, with, for example, a character who was introduced as "living in the gaps between frames," complete with a character grabbing the frame and leaning her upper body out of the frame and looking into the afore-mentioned gap. What makes this case interesting is that the comic later caught a bad case of CerebusSyndrome, and as a symptom, acquired a fourth wall. Some of the fourth-wall-breaking elements where explained away (e.g. as the actions of SufficientlyAdvancedAliens or psychic planeswalkers): I don't recall an explanation ever being provided for what was happening when the protagonist leaned her upper torso out of the frame.
* ''Webcomic/{{Enjuhneer}}'' does this on occasion.
* Hilariously toyed with in [[http://pungirls.net/strip/index.php?strip_id=40 this ''Pungirls'' strip.]]
* Most obviously in ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'' during the chapter [[http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c38.3/p1.html Out Of The Frame]], when all of the minor and background characters form a "Neglected Club" to campaign for more screentime.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Bibliography}}''.
-->'''Ben:''' Why am I so off-panel?

%%* Often happens in ''ComicStrip/CaptnCrazy''.

* ''Webcomic/TheCartoonChroniclesOfConroyCat'' even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] it [[http://dtoons.com/conroy/2010/09/the-4th-wall/ here]]

* "Webcomic/{{Fathead}}" used to [[http://fatheadcomic.com/comics/26/ break]] [[http://fatheadcomic.com/comics/42/ the]] [[http://fatheadcomic.com/comics/53/ fourth]] [[http://fatheadcomic.com/comics/71 wall]] frequently.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', there is an actual goddamn physical fourth wall. It's first used as a lame joke and then later by the author as a self-indulgent insert to the comic where he recaps the story. Then the comic introduces a fifth wall (according to [[WordOfGod Word of Hussie]], it separates multiple omniscient {{narrator}}s) and promptly starts breaking ''that'', too. It's strongly implied that this will be a major plot point. On his formspring page, Andrew Hussie joked that there's also a sixth wall, and that it's what's holding back all the "shitty memes". [[{{Memes/Homestuck}} That wall apparently broke a long time ago.]]
** And in [[WhamEpisode [S] Cascade]], [[spoiler: it's revealed that Jade's plan to save them all is to actually fly through the fourth wall, traveling through our universe for about three nanoseconds ([[YearInsideHourOutside from our perspective]]). The destination is ''another'' fourth wall leading to an AlternateUniverse. The real world is apparently a VoidBetweenTheWorlds.]]
** And then there's [[spoiler:[[EldritchAbomination Lord English]], who invokes TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou and RageAgainstTheAuthor.]]

* In ''Webcomic/{{Vinigortonio}}'':
-->'''Igor:''' Use this convenient plot element!
* ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'' uses it [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_306.php to have a go at the readers]].

* ''{{Webcomic/Fathead}}'' often [[http://fatheadcomic.com/comics/26/ breaks]] [[http://fatheadcomic.com/comics/42/ the]] [[http://fatheadcomic.com/comics/53/ fourth]] [[http://fatheadcomic.com/comics/71 wall]] when the author can't think of a worthwhile punchline...
* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' also doesn't do this much, but if anyone is going to do it, [[ThoseWilyCoyotes Coyote]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1069 will]].
* Rarely done in ''Webcomic/ArthurKingOfTimeAndSpace'' ... at least within the panels (there are frequent NoFourthWall strips with the characters against the plain background of the website, meant to be "[[AnimatedActor backstage]]"). However, the court of Carbonek starts doing it during the "Lancelot is found by King Pelles's men and recovers from his wild man phase" storyline. Lancelot eventually [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/1793.htm calls them on it]].
* ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'' seldom does this, but the splash page for chapter 2 does it quite deliberately. Sydney sees the ARC building for the first time, and looks up at it, with the 'camera' behind her and panning upward:
-->'''Sydney:''' ...I thought you said [=ARCswat=].\\
'''Maxima:''' I'll explain it on the next page.\\
'''Sydney:''' ...there had better not be anyone photographing my butt.

* In ''Webcomic/PrincessChroma'', the entire cast is occasionally caught LeaningOnTheFourthWall, but Randall outright breaks it, even [[http://princesschroma.smackjeeves.com/comics/1739026/4-19/ shoving panels aside]] to address the audience.
* ''Webcomic/HeartCore'': As seen in the image above, after being a bit [[NotSafeForWork TOO enthusiastic]] [[EroticEating about drinking BBQ Sauce]], Lutz has to remind Ame that this isn't a porn comic.
* ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup'': Richard is always a bit of a MetaGuy, but outright [[https://www.lfg.co/page/1245/ breaks]] the fourth wall when, twelve years into the comic's run, [[spoiler:a young MentalWorld version of him]] offers him information about his [[TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget long-forgotten]] MysteriousPast:
-->'''[[spoiler:Young Richard]]:''' Do you want to find out who you are?\\
'''Richard:''' [[LittleNo Not really]]. ''[Points at the fourth wall]'' But they do.
* Sometimes, Thaddeus and Bob from ''Webcomic/ThePetriDish'' talk to the viewer. One case is when they discuss what happens "behind the scenes".

* In ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob,'' Jean periodically scolds Bob for breaking the Fourth Wall, calling it "one of his worst habits." [[https://bobadventures.thecomicseries.com/comics/135/ Although she herself indulges in it on rare occasions.]]
* ''Webcomic/IWasKidnappedByLesbianPiratesFromOuterSpace'' has been known to break the fourth wall and even had a intermission that was called [[http://www.drunkduck.com/I_Was_Kidnapped_By_Lesbian_Pirates_From_Outer_Space/index.php?p=349235 The Search For The Fourth Wall]].
* In ''Webcomic/KeychainOfCreation'', a comic based on the ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'' tabletop RPG, the characters frequently talk as if the rules of the game were the solid rules of their reality, and they knew their own stats. However, they don't actively break the fourth wall; that's left to a band of [[TheFairFolk the Fae]], especially their leader, who says quite frankly that he only led his band back to fight the main characters ''because there'd be no story otherwise.'' The main characters all act like he's a jabbering mental patient when he says as much.

%%* ''Webcomic/TheKAMics'' does this occasionally.
%%* ''Webcomic/{{Flipside}}'' does it in the Intermission strips.
* Penny from ''WebComic/OutAtHome'' pretty much exists to break the fourth wall, to the confusion of the other characters, who don't have her {{Medium Awareness}}.
--> "Why are you talking to that wall?"
* ''Webcomic/TheCyantianChronicles'':
** Mostly averted in the canon comics. Only NOT averted when "We Have a Shivae-13 Rating To Maintain", which only happened once so far.
** Played for laughs in a fan scripted bonus comic contained in the print version of Akaelae 5.
* In [[http://web.archive.org/web/20130626052641/http://the-qlc.com/loserz/go/99 the hundredth strip]] of ''Webcomic/{{Loserz}}'', protagonist Ben remarks: "I just got the strangest feeling, like I'm being watched. -- What's even weirder is that I'm somehow sure this has happened exactly 100 times..."
* ''Luci Phurr's Imps'' does it in [[http://luciphurrsimps.com/2012/02/26/myths-and-legends-1/ This strip.]]
* You want literal breaking the fourth wall? Check out [[http://www.neomonsterisland.com/tktarkv/vol3/027/1320/1.html this]] episode of ''Webcomic/TwistedKaijuTheater''.
* ''WebComic/OzyAndMillie'' toyed with it once. "I'm Ozymandias. You may know me from strips such as this one."
* ''WebComic/SluggyFreelance'' breaks it occasionally.
%%** Like [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/981016 here]].
** When Torg is being ''very'' slow on the uptake: [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/19980521 "He'll figure it out any moment now folks!"]] (Unless you count "folks" as a direct acknowledgement of the fourth wall. It seems to refer to the audience, but it's left vague.)
%%** It's also a yearly occurrence. As in 'X years of nifty darn comics'-style.
* ''Webcomic/TooMuchInformation2005'' has a solid FourthWall, with one exception. There's an auxiliary webcomic called ''Maddie's Monster'', in which one of the regular characters (Maddie Cartman) meets an EldritchAbomination named G'Nar The Insignificant. G'Nar, being non-human, can see through the fourth wall, and tries to point it out. Maddie is unable to figure out what the heck he's talking about.

%%* Done with interesting results in [[http://www.kevinandkell.com/2007/kk0304.html this]] ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'' sunday strip.

* ''Webcomic/EndOfInfinity'': The author breaks the fourth wall to tell the characters that THE POWER OF TELEGRAM COMPELS YOU. The Telegrams are direct commands from the readers to the characters.
* ''WebComic/{{EATATAU}}!!! doesn't often do this, but sometimes the Eldar just has to [[http://eatatau.smackjeeves.com/comics/810949/that-s-your-fault/ argue with the narrator.]]
* ''Webcomic/APTComic'' has some characters that can see through the fourth wall, and some that have [[AudienceWhatAudience no idea what they're talking about.]]
* In ''Webcomic/DragonMango'', [[http://dragon-mango.com/comic/chapter04/dm04-19.htm two characters manage to get through a maze since it's been a month since they entered it. The one trying to keep them out curses the erratic update schedule.]]
* WebComic/CommanderKitty is usually good about keeping its FourthWall intact, but that didn't stop [[BigBad Zenith]] [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2010/07/04/nothing-like-a-good-rant/ from complaining about not getting her own button]] when [[{{Deuteragonist}} Nin Wah]] got to have one (early in the comic's lifespan, you could purchase buttons with the main characters' faces on them).
* ''Webcomic/TheDailyDerp'': [[http://dailyderp.tumblr.com/post/39066752897/derpy-i-forgot-to-mention-this Hello DerpyHoovesNews people!]]

* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' had NoFourthWall in its introductory storyline and had a few minor characters who did it in the second arc but after that they never reappeared and (outside of implicitly non-canon FourthWallMailSlot strips and explicitly non-canon EGS:NP strips) it hasn't gone further than LeaningOnTheFourthWall since.

* ''Webcomic/BrunoTheBandit'' did it in [[http://www.brunothebandit.com/d/19991020.html these]] [[http://www.brunothebandit.com/d/20030326.html early]] strips.

* One strip of ''Webcomic/RaeTheDoe'' has a doctor tell Rae to read a webcomic called ''Rae the Doe'' to be in better spirits.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Horndog}}'', the fourth wall breaks Bob's nose.
* In ''WebComic/PvP'', now and then, the characters break the fourth wall, usually for some movie impersonation. Nearly every time, someone dies horribly, but as it's fourth wall breaking, it gives an excuse for a SnapBack. Handily combined with YouBastard!
* ''WebComic/ScandinaviaAndTheWorld'' occasionally breaks this, but without referencing it. Whenever the Netherlands and Denmark, (and sometimes Germany) surprise Japan by making out, they call it Yaoi, with is never real people; meaning that they, even if it wasn't intentional, know that they know that they are drawn.
* The first entry of ''Webcomic/TheRifters'' has Tobi addressing the reader, telling them the title of the comic they're reading.
* ''Webcomic/ErikaAndThePrincesInDistress'': When King Parfait asks Erika why she wishes to find his son, she tells him to just read the comic from the beginning again. The same gag is present in the audio adaptation, where she instead tells him to listen to the previous episodes again.
* The ''Webcomic/{{Insecticomics}}'' wavers between breaking the fourth wall and not having one altogether. The Insecticons themselves don't really seem to bother with it.
* Done every now and then in ''Webcomic/DragonTails''.
--> '''Corlis''': That's it, I'm finding a new comic, this one's stupid!
* ''Calamities of Nature'' breaks the fourth wall [[http://web.archive.org/web/20100209061100/http://www.calamitiesofnature.com/archive/?c=165 here]] and [[http://web.archive.org/web/20100209061100/http://www.calamitiesofnature.com/archive/?c=276 here]], and even [[http://web.archive.org/web/20100129052438/http://calamitiesofnature.com/archive/?c=143 discusses the fourth wall while breaking it at the same time]].
* Jason, the author of the ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' webcomic ''Webcomic/UGMadness'', has vowed never to break the fourth wall ...except when [[http://www.ugmadness.net/index.php?date=2006-05-26 making fun of his own vow]].
* In ''Webcomic/{{Adventurers}}'', FinalBoss Khrima uses an attack spell with an animation [[http://web.archive.org/web/20160702162528/http://adventurers.keenspot.com/d/20050423.html so over-the-top]], it doesn't just include an EarthShatteringKaboom, it actually ''cracks the Adventurers game disc'', requiring Karn to tell the "player" [[http://web.archive.org/web/20150524164548/http://adventurers.keenspot.com/d/20050503.html how to replace the disc with a backup copy]].

%%* ''Webcomic/TheCallOfWhatever'' did it in a storyline starting [[http://tcow.comicgenesis.com/d/20011224.html here]].

* In ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'', Kiel can tell that the readers are there and talks to them when she's bored. Others consider her weird for still having an imaginary friend. [[spoiler:The truth is that she can hear the forum posters through nether essence. When nether essence is refined and contained, it can act as an avatar of multiple suggesters.]]
** In a rare twist of breaking the fourth wall in a tragic rather than comedic manner, Kiel grows furious at the audience watching her and [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7178 throws a belt at them]]. According to the forum fandom, it broke many screens and hit many eyes.
* ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids''' 468th strip says "''Puny Comic-Reading Humans, Bow Before My Magnificence!''".
* In an early ''WebComic/FaultyLogic'' page, [[AuthorAvatar Fox and Jalyss]] break through the fourth wall of the author-comments section (with a hammer) to make sure there are actually people reading their strip.
** More recently, a [[http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20090131.html spacial vortex]] reverses fourth-wall positions. Notably, readers can actually ''see'' the Fourth Wall in the background.
* The ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' blag features "Federal Reserve Skateboard: A Short Story," which includes the following:
** ''Bernanke, trying not to slip in the patches of blood on the floor, struggled with Greenspan. The older man moved like a snake that moved like a former Fed Chairman who moved like a ninja. At last, Bernanke got a solid grip on Greenspan?s collar and hurled him through the fourth wall, knocking you to the ground.''

* ''Webcomic/NowhereUniversity'' has the characters make references to plot twists & their author, then again the teachers at that school come from literary classics so...

* ''Webcomic/DragonBallMultiverse'': Chapter 42's name and cover both point towards featuring Piccolo Daimao as its main character, yet he doesn't appear until the eleventh page. Once he appears, he's quick to point it out:
-->"''It's about damn time. It was supposed to be my chapter after all!''"

* ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'': [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff3300/fc03260.htm This page]]. Complete with [[Webcomic/TheWhiteboard Doc]] complaining about the repairs he needs to make.
* In one strip of ''Webcomic/PeterParkerForeignExchangeStudent,'' Peter and Izuku try to [[https://alexdrawsagain.tumblr.com/post/183267547023/peter-parker-foreign-exchange-student-tsu-breaks strategize behind the cover of rubble]], inadvertently recreating the [[https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--ezeQ8SVo--/c_scale,f_auto,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/gvyyzmql47x1eyvsbtnx.jpg memetic shot]] of Miles watching a thinking Peter intently in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse''. Tsu calls them out for "recreating memes" to their confusion.

* In ''Acorn Grove'', after a long break, [[[[http://acorngrove.comicgenesis.com/d/20051201.html the creators of the strip write themselves in to apologize for the last strip being there for so long]]. [[In another strip the resident redshirt get killed when he notices the fourth wall]].

* ''Webcomic/{{Megatokyo}}'': [[http://www.megatokyo.com/index.php?strip_id=111 A seriously frightening example]] (in retrospect) where the character is reflecting the symptoms of her real-life namesake's autoimmune disorder which later turned into cancer. Note the knee brace on Seraphim then read [[http://megatokyo.com/strip/1290#rant1042 Rant 1042]] for details.

* ''Webcomic/{{Xawu}}'', in most (if not all) the [[http://xawu.thecomicseries.com/comics/ comics that have Hori in them.]]

* In ''WebComic/PvP'', now and then, the characters break the fourth wall, usually for some movie impersonation. Nearly every time, someone dies horribly, but as it's fourth wall breaking, it gives an excuse for a SnapBack.
* ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel'' broke the fourth wall quite literally in this strip: [[https://cad-comic.com/comic/one-thousand/ One-Thousand]].
** Handily combined with YouBastard!
** ''Ctrl+Alt+Del'' really had NoFourthWall at first, but then abandoned that and switched to only occasionally BreakingTheFourthWall.

* In ''Acorn Grove'', after a long break, the creators of the strip write themselves in to apologize for the last strip being there for so long. [[http://acorngrove.comicgenesis.com/d/20051201.html]]. In another strip the resident redshirt get killed when he notices the fourth wall [[http://acorngrove.comicgenesis.com/d/20090406.html]].
* "Dr. [=McNinja=]'s Final Thoughts" breaks the fourth wall at the end of each chapter in ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'' (usually used to deliver a humorous 'lesson' from the story or a moral of questionable veracity). In one of these comics, he points out that during the "Final Thoughts" he knows things he doesn't otherwise (presumably including that there's an audience, but also in-universe facts). In another one, someone who's been spying on his office says he's observed he comes in and talks to the wall occasionally; the AltText goes "Which wall? The first wall? The second wall? The third wall? Which wall?"

* ''Webcomic/CarryOn'': Lieutenant Krueger has been known to [[http://www.hirezfox.com/km/co/co1024/d/20170913.html bribe Kathy Garrison-Kellogg so a rope bridge won't break.]] Both he and Kathy Grrsn have also been [[http://www.hirezfox.com/km/co/co1024/d/20201026.html kicked through the fourth wall]], and he and Sandy have both opened doors to [[http://www.hirezfox.com/km/co/co1024/d/20201116.html comment about the plot to the aforementioned cartoonist.]]
* Done from time to time in ''WebComic/TonyComics''.

* ''Webcomic/{{Shameless}}'' gives us this [[http://cosmic-angel-raine.deviantart.com/art/Omake-Theater-01-Nana-isn-t-Seven-351732813 bonus strip]] in which Seven directly explains to the audience why she looks different than the other Cosmos.

* ''Webcomic/ErikaAndThePrincesInDistress'' : When King Parfait asks Erika why she wishes to find his son, she tells him to just read the comic from the beginning again. The same gag is present in the audio adaptation, where she instead tells him to listen to the previous episodes again.

* Jason, the author of the ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' webcomic ''Webcomic/UGMadness'', has vowed never to break the fourth wall...except when [[http://www.ugmadness.net/index.php?date=2006-05-26 making fun of his own vow]].

* Rich Burlew's ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' is pretty random with the fourth wall, and indeed ''arguably has a lack of a fourth wall built into the setting itself''. The worst is probably the Oracle constantly addressing the audience and referring to books or in-comic years. Also the 100th and 600th strip had lampshading referring to the anticlimax in each. And V once referred to how many strips would be necessary to get another dumb trial done. Belkar also once referred to himself as the only funny thing left in the comic strip.

--->''Beat Panel while both smile and wink at the reader.''
