History CassandraTruth / Webcomics

* ''Webcomic/DemonKingGF'': In one episode, the titular Demon King tells her husband, the Hero, about how her people once had the ability to [[{{Weredragon}} transform into dragons]] but lost it eons ago. Right as she finishes telling this story, their toddler daughter Zenith suddenly sneezes and turns into a dragon. The Hero tells the Demon King what just happened, but Zenith changes back into a baby before the Demon King can turn to look. Because of this, the Demon King assumes her husband is trolling her and gets mad at him.

* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' has an officer who got [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2005-12-27 both this problem and its solution]].

* ''Webcomic/{{Archipelago}}'': Captain Syn frames Anthony [[spoiler:for murdering his wife and has him thrown into the sea. Three weeks later when Anthony (now called Blitz) washes up on Ruin Island, he attempts this again by attempting to murder Lucas, then setting up Blitz to be literally caught red-handed, crouched over him, blooded knife in hand.]]

* In ''Webcomic/TheMonsterUnderTheBed'', Tim tries to prove that a monster has been stealing his socks. He manages to get a picture, but [[ InterruptedIntimacyIn has bad timing in presenting it to his parents. After getting to know Shadow, he stops trying.

** Later played [[TearJerker heart-rendingly]] straight in [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005260 this]] memo from Karkat to the troll's past selves. During it, a few of the people who really should be paying the most attention to it miss the point or dismiss it as more of Karkat's outrageous nonsense. [[spoiler: Namely, Feferi, Eridan, and Gamzee, who have respectively: died at the hands of Eridan, [[FaceHeelTurn switched sides]] and killed two people as well as possibly blinded a third, and gone completely batshit insane and gone on a killing spree.]]

* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance''
** In [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=010602 this strip]], Bert predicts Torg "fleeing for his life while flying by the crotch planet in the giant space crotch," and Torg reacts exactly as you'd expect. Three and a half months later, Torg and Riff are riding the crotch of "[[Anime/{{Voltron}} GOFOTRON]]" past the "planet of the naked nymphomaniacs" to escape a warlord.
** Played straight in [[http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/000504 this strip]].
--->'''Torg:''' Remember Oasis, the killer-robot who was ordered to love me and then blew up in a massive explosion with her creator?\\
'''Riff:''' I was supposed to BELIEVE that? I thought it was "make up a big fat lie" day.
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
** Kind of inverted with the Oracle, who has a spell placed over his entire valley, so that once people leave they forget everything about their stay except for whatever prophecy he gave them. So, while they're able to act on the prophecy itself, anything else that happens in the valley is forgotten, including any plot-significant revelations or information. Needless to say, visits to the Oracle usually make {{hilarity ensue|s}}.
** Another interesting example of this: Roy, suspecting that the Oracle will try to [[LiteralGenie trick them with an overly-literal prophecy]], carefully words his question about which of the Gates [[BigBad Xykon]] will attack next. However, the way Roy phrases this leaves out one of the possible Gates -- which, as it turns out, is the one Xykon ''is'' going to attack next. The Oracle tries to explain this, but Roy refuses to believe him, and winds up accepting the literal answer to his question instead, even though it's not accurate. [[spoiler:He ''does'' eventually realize his mistake, though... just in time for the memory spell to come into effect, making him instantly forget it.]]
** Yet another interesting example (though PlayedForLaughs) [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0129.html here]] -- Haley tells the truth completely, but the others are suspicious of her -- [[ThePlan which is exactly what she wants]]. Haley quite often does this -- with the Linear Guild and now with [[spoiler:Elan's father]]. Is she the only one able to spot obviously evil people?
** Explaining that he and a main character are wrongly imprisoned, Thog tells it just exactly like it is [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0367.html here]]:
--->'''Thog: not nale. not-nale. thog help nail not-nale, not nale. and thog knot not-nale while nale nail not-nale. nale, not not-nale, now nail not-nale by leaving not-nale, not nale, in jail.'''
** General Tarquin claims his latest wife had died of "Mysterious Circumstances". Not even the audience believes him on this one. [[spoiler:Then we find out that Vaarsuvius's [[AndYourLittleDogToo Familicide]] spell affected a bunch of people with the dragon in question's blood in their veins, and that Tarquin's wife was one of those people...]]
** Belkar is the only member of The Order to realize that [[spoiler:the vampire cleric travelling with them isn't ''actually'' Durkon, but rather another entity that is [[DemonicPossession possessing his body]]]]. Of course, this being [[TokenEvilTeammate Belkar]], no one believes him for a second.
* ''Webcomic/OzyAndMillie'':
** Millie attempts to invoke it on herself [[http://ozyandmillie.org/2005/08/09/ozy-and-millie-1484/ here]] by means of doing various overly silly things.
** In another incedent also involving "What I did for summer vacation" Ozy [[http://ozyandmillie.org/2000/09/09/ozy-and-millie-455/ get's sent to the psychiatrist]], only this time it wasn't his plan.
* ''Webcomic/BugMartini'' has a particularly ridiculous one: [[http://www.bugcomic.com/comics/zombie-week-2/ "Son, there's no such thing as zombies..."]], which the cop says to a zombie.

* Subverted in [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2010-10-15 this]] ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive''. A number of people describe a battle between a superhero and a fire monster that took place in the parking lot of a comic book shop. Naturally, the police officer responding to this disturbance doesn't believe them, and even mocks them for expecting him to believe such a ridiculous tale. However, several of the witnesses recorded the whole thing on their cell phones, and show him the evidence. He quickly changes his tune.
* ''Webcomic/GetMedieval'': Sir Gerard went on a pilgrimage to Santiago and wound up piloting a spaceship to the moon. [[http://www.ainself.net/irony/get_medieval/get_medieval0879.gif When he tells Lady Eleanor this]]....
* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'':
** In [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=696 this strip]], Marten and Dora return from a "walk" with different clothes (in particular, Marten is wearing Dora's trousers) and a completely incredible story involving kung-fu monks. Faye obviously doesn't believe them... but it turns out to be the truth.
** Then [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=731 here]], Marten explains that he came home late with a stop sign in his hand because he and Steve were fighting off a vigilante on a vespa who thought Steve was abusing his girlfriend. Dora immediately dismissed this explanation and decided he went to a strip club and brought home the stop sign as part of a cover-up. Factoring in the part where he would've had to somehow reason that stealing a stop sign was the best way to create a cover-up, this is one of the few examples where the implausible truth is actually less implausible than the thing everyone else assumes. Also kind of funny that Faye reasons he's telling the truth because the strip club part is too far-fetched.
** Much later, and more mundanely, Angus doesn't believe Faye when she calls a no-go on suicide jokes, claiming her father killed himself in front of her. He thinks she's joking due to her regular antics - but as readers already know, this is indeed true and is the cause of all her issues. Once he realizes she's not joking, he runs out of the coffee shop in horror at his own reaction. When he tries to smooth things out later, she admits that had it not actually happened, she probably would have made jokes of it.

* ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'':
** The eponymous seer runs into this problem when he tries to convince Chance Masters and his family that [[spoiler:an extradimensional monster will kill Chance if he participates in an upcoming tournament.]] They believe he is a charlatan who is trying to exploit them. A fairly justified example: Dominic had a nervous breakdown in public on his record, the threat he is trying to warn them about would be unbelievable to anyone without Dominic's unique perspective, and [[spoiler:the Beast]] is invisible to most seers -- Dominic can only see it due to unique circumstances. Also, the Master family had had first person experience with being conned by someone claiming to be a seer who had seen a vision of impending danger to them.
** Prento, one of Dominic's students, thought he was suffering from a rare disorder common to seers known as "stress contagion" and it would lead to a city-destroying "Mindbreak". His classmates thought he was just overthinking things and their teacher just needed to relax a bit. Unfortunately Prento was right, though some very powerful people collaborated to avert Mindbreak.

* ''Webcomic/EarsForElves'': After meeting Rolan for the first time, Tanna isn't sure of what she saw -- it happened too fast -- and tries to explain it to Myari and Elon. They [[http://www.earsforelves.com/archives/211 don't believe her]].
-->'''Myari:''' Oh Tanna, you've been pushing yourself too hard! You're talking crazy!\\
'''Elon:''' Perhaps you should rest for a moment...
* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20160516 Nobody believes Aldin's stories]] about the adventures his brother drags him on. They're just ''that weird''.
--> '''Larana:''' Well, Aldin, if you didn't write such ''fantastical reports''...\\
'''Aldin:''' ''I am incapable of making things up!'' It all ''happened''! No one ever ''believes'' me, but it ''happened!''\\
'''Larana:''' Even the—\\
'''Aldin:''' [[NoodleIncident Yes, even the thing with the naked mole rat queen]].\\
'''Dimo:''' Hoo Hoo! Sounds spicy!\\
'''Aldin:''' It was ''not''. I assure you.
* Sydney of ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'' is a lousy liar. But after making up half a dozen ridiculous stories about the mailing tube she always carries on her back, she gives up:
-->'''Sydney:''' Fine... it's full of... ancient artifacts that give me superpowers?\\
'''Joel:''' Fine, don't tell me.
* ''Webcomic/TheFoxSister'': The comic doesn't actually show it, but it's easy to imagine how Yun Hee's eccentrics of accusing her sister to be a shape-shifting fox demon after waking up in the hospital are received.
* ''Webcomic/{{Archipelago}}'': Captain Syn frames Anthony [[spoiler:for murdering his wife and has him thrown into the sea. Three weeks later when Anthony (now called Blitz) washes up on Ruin Island, he attempts this again by attempting to murder Lucas, then setting up Blitz to be literally caught red-handed, crouched over him, blooded knife in hand.]]
* ''Webcomic/SatanAndMe'': A girl known to spread rumors tries to tell people that the main character, Nat, is friends with a demon. No one believes her.
* ''Webcomic/TheLastHalloween'': The authorities dismiss all the "crank calls" regarding monsters invading on Halloween. This leads to the moral of the trope being [[http://www.last-halloween.com/posts/17 very explicitly illustrated]].
* ''Webcomic/ZebraGirl'': After the "Sandra in the Outlands" arc, Sandra is turning over a new leaf and is truly repentant about her past actions. However, her former friends are not willing to listen when she says she's regretful and she misses them.

* In ''WebComic/SailorMoonCosmosArc'' it's revealed that when Ikuko thought Chibi Chibi was her daughter [[spoiler: it was technically true. Chibi Chibi was a reincarnated Usagi.]]
* ''Webcomic/{{Spacetrawler}}'': Brekt, the "local nutcase". The conspiracy theories she spouts later turn out to have been pretty damn accurate.
* ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive:'' Davan's Guide to Kinda, Sorta Parenting. "[[http://somethingpositive.net/sp06222017.shtml You're gonna have a newfound appreciation of any myth involving Cassandra]]."
* In ''Webcomic/RustyAndCo'' Level 3, Mimic is being honest about the weird climax of the previous adventure, but isn't believed.
-->'''Roxanne:''' Don't you believe in the power of music?\\
'''Mimic:''' Hey, y're talkin' to the guy who won a rap battle for th' fate of the Universe.\\
'''Roxanne:''' Mook, if you're not going to take this seriously...
* In ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob,'' if you bother to phone the local police about all the aliens and bigfeet and whatnot in the neighborhood, they never believe it. Even if you manage to physically drag them to the scene, inevitably everything will have returned to normal by the time they arrive.
-->'''Jean''': "I'M BEING KIDNAPPED BY BIGFOOT!"
-->'''Officer Robbin''': "Oh grow up!" *click!*
