History BreakingTheFourthWall / Webcomics

* 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.

* APTComic has some characters that can see through the fourth wall, and some that have [[AudienceWhatAudience no idea what they're talking about.]]

** ''[[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0649.html Strip #649]]'' memorably includes Haley stealing a diamond from [[ImpossibleThief the site's cast page]] (which is not part of the comic's continuity) in order to power a Ressurection spell. Ever since then, the [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/ootscast.html actual cast page]] has shown Haley holding an "I owe me" note instead of the actual diamond.

* ''Webcomic/TheCyantianChronicles'': Broken and played for laughs in the bonus comic at the back of the printed collection "Akealae 5". (Available by purchase only.)
** Arguably, a CensorBox with "We have a Shivae 13 rating to maintain" to cover up a certain naked anthro fox's naughty bits should qualify.

* 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.

* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary''Characters often grip the edge of panels, occasionally address the reader, and otherwise act on the panels or their framing.

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

* In ''{{Vinigortonio}}'':

* In the sprite comic ''{{Bob and George}}'', the fourth wall never existed, and it was a constant running gag. All the characters knew that they were in a comic, and the author of the comic often made appearances. Once he even came out to fight another author that entered his comic's universe. One of the characters even read ahead to know what was going to happen next. Of course this wasn't exactly a bad thing, as it made the comic what it was.

* Xawu, in most (if not all) the [[http://xawu.thecomicseries.com/comics/ comics that have Hori in them.]]
* The fourth wall is given a loving fracture every now and then in ''AMomentOfPeace''. At one point, it's opened up so that [[http://www.amomentofpeace.net/index.php?num=2 stars can pour through]].
* In ''{{Horndog}}'', the fourth wall breaks Bob's nose.

* ''CtrlAltDel'' broke the fourth wall quite literally in this strip: [[http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/20070720 One-Thousand]].

** ''CtrlAltDel'' really had NoFourthWall at first, but then abandoned that and switched to only occasionally BreakingTheFourthWall.

* The first entry of Webcomic/TheRifters has Tobi addressing the reader, telling them the title of the comic they're reading.

* The ''{{Insecticomics}}'' wavers between breaking the fourth wall and not having one altogether. The Insecticons themselves don't really seem to bother with it.
* Done (incredibly skillfully) every now and then in ''DragonTails''.

* Calamities of Nature breaks the fourth wall [[http://www.calamitiesofnature.com/archive/?c=165 here]] and [[http://www.calamitiesofnature.com/archive/?c=276 here]], and even [[http://calamitiesofnature.com/archive/?c=143 discusses the fourth wall while breaking it at the same time]].
* Jason, the author of the ''MagicTheGathering'' 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]].

* ''TheCyantianChronicles'': Broken and played for laughs in the bonus comic at the back of the printed collection "Akealae 5". (Available by purchase only.)

* In ''TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob,'' Jean periodically scolds Bob for breaking the Fourth Wall, calling it "one of his worst habits." [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20070414.html Although she herself indulges in it on rare occasions.]]

* ''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 ''{{Keychain of Creation}}'', a comic based on the ''{{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.

* ''{{The KAMics}}'' does this occasionally.
* ''TheCallOfWhatever'' did it in a storyline starting [[http://tcow.comicgenesis.com/d/20011224.html here]].

* In ''{{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.

* ''GirlsWithSlingshots'' doesn't usually break the FourthWall, but in [[http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws471/ this strip]] Hazel takes back a hasty comment by pulling the speech bubble back into her mouth and swallowing it.

* You want literal breaking the fourth wall? Check out [[http://www.neomonsterisland.com/tktarkv/vol3/027/1320/1.html this]] episode of ''TwistedKaijuTheater''.

* ''TooMuchInformation'' 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.

* ''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.

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

* ''{{Enjuhneer}}'' does this on occasion.

* Most obviously in ''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 ''{{Bibliography}}''.

* ''TropeOverdosedTheWebcomic'': http://tropeoverdosed.pcriot.com/?p=38
* Early on in ''GameDestroyers'', [[http://www.gamedestroyers.net/104 Spiffy breaks the fourth wall]] by pointing out a PlotHole.

* 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 ''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]].

* In ''{{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.

* Rarely done in ''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]].

* In ''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.]]

* ''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/SchlockMercenary'' regularly breaks the fourth wall, but it isn't often that [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20020407.html the author breaks ''in'' through the fourth wall.]]
** In many, many panels a main character uses the edge of the panel, literally, as a wall to brace themselves against.

* 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]].

* The narrator/author [[http://blipcomic.com/49/ gets in trouble]] in ''{{Blip}}''; K is ''not'' happy.

* ''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:

[[quoteright:250:[[HeartCore http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/broken_again_5202.png]]]]
[[caption-width-right:250:He's trying to save you from [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-07-page-244-265814925 this.]], [[{{Fanservice}} by the way.]]]]

* ''Webcomic/BrunoTheBandit'' did it in these [[http://www.brunothebandit.com/d/19980811.html early]] [[http://www.brunothebandit.com/d/19991020.html strips]].

* ''Webcomic/BrunoTheBandit'' did it in this [[http://www.brunothebandit.com/d/19980811.html early strip]].

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.

* In the ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'' strip [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff500/fv00405.htm 405]], the character says, "I know a day is 24 hours, but [[WebcomicTime that one felt like it took a year and 37 weeks to get through]]" - the exact amount of time it took the author to finish and post those strips.

* ''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 ''[[http://www.pvponline.com 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.

* ''Scandinavia and the World'' 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.

* In an early ''Faulty Logic'' 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.

* Penny from [[http://www.out-at-home.com/ Out at Home]] pretty much exists to break the fourth wall, to the confusion of the other characters, who don't have her {{Medium Awareness}}.

* [[http://www.shapequest.net Shape Quest]] does this frequently, especially at the end of the first chapter, where Lance urges the readers to continue reading.

* In [[http://girlyyy.com/go/760 this]] ''Girly'' episode Otra comes real close to BTFW but does a nice save in the next panel.

* ''Dungeons and Denizens'' 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.

* [[http://www.drunkduck.com/Jix 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.

* [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=2203 This]] SMBC comic has the entire human race break the fourth wall ''of the universe'' after figuring out that it is just a simulation.

* 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.]]

* In Okashina Okashi (Strange Candy) Eri-chan does this [[http://www.strangecandy.net/d/20130131.html]] (or maybe this is just part of the multiverse).

* ''CyanideAndHappiness'' also broke the wall several times, like [[http://www.explosm.net/comics/375/ this one]].

* Every chapter of ''TalesOfGnosisCollege'' 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.

* {{DMFA}}:Uses it [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_306.php here]] to have a go at the readers.

* ''Webcomic/{{Shameless}}'' gives us a bonus strip in which Seven directly explains to the audience why she looks different than the other Cosmos.
