* Winston wanted to build up to telling his parents he's dating an uplifted wolf gradually, so initially [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff3200/fv03147.htm he told them]] that Florence had been genetically modified and had a tail, sharp teeth, and amber eyes, letting them assume that those were the modifications.

** Early in the 3rd story arc, Vaarsuvius attempts this when Roy asks him if s/he's been casting Explosive Runes on Belkar. [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0323.html Roy is having none of it.]]

* ''WebComic/TowerOfGod'' [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/tower-of-god/season-2-ep-227/viewer?title_no=95&episode_no=308 episode 307]] has one that's certainly a bit of a stretch: "I never said I would spare him if you told me. I said that I would kill him if you didn't tell me..." (Something of a MortonsFork situation, there...)

* In ''Webcomic/WelcomeToChastity'' the main character, Mei, moves into a town where all the women have insanely huge breasts and is told by her extremely busty roommate that that's the case for all the women living in the town. The next morning Mei finds out that her roommate was being literal, as her breasts have gone from flat chested to D-cups overnight.

* A Demoness in ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'' uses this when offering a DealWithTheDevil; she claims to be the guardian of the [[MacGuffin Orb of Bloodlight]], and offers a trade of "one soul for one orb". Dies-Horribly offers up himself for the bargain, and is given a non-magical orb made of ordinary blue stone instead. The demon gloats that Dies should have specified which orb he wanted when the deal was made. It comes back to haunt her immediately afterwards; Dies' [[EmpathicWeapon magical arm]] apparently possesses a soul of its own, because the demoness is horrified to learn that she claimed two souls instead of one, and accuses the goblins of trickery. The "powers that be" deem her guilty of breaking a demonic contract, and [[FateWorseThanDeath banish her to the plane of torture]].

* ''WebComic/TowerOfGod'' [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/tower-of-god/season-2-ep-227/viewer?title_no=95&episode_no=308 episode 307]] has one that's certainly a bit of a stretch: "I never said I would spare him if you told me. I said that I would kill him if you didn't tell me..."

** When one character comes to an Evil wizard named Grubwiggler as a last resort to resurrect another character, she gets the idea that maybe Grubwiggler intends to "revive" the corpse as some form of Undead. She uses a Sense Motive spell to ensure that he's telling the truth when he tells her that he will not create an Undead out of the corpse... he doesn't tell her that what he does intend to do is transform it into a golem, which under D&D rules is a Construct, not an Undead. It doesn't seem like Grubwiggler is trying to cheat here om purpose -- more like he just dislikes undead and thinks a golem is totally different. (And it genuinely hasn't occurred to him that anyone would expect him to ''actually'' raise someone, because why would they?)

** [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2011-12-04 Satan makes the mistake of asking whether Blue's loyalties are clear. She can assure him they are, even though the last panel shows she has Fuschia's Nerf pitchfork and butterfly picture in her room, because only being loyal to Satan, too, would cause a conflict.]]

** The [[https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/median median]] American is now a millionaire -- because someone tracked down the specific individual who was the most median and gave her a million dollars so they could say that.

* When he realises that Gail from ''Webcomic/{{Thunderstruck}}'' can detect lies, the leader of a morally dubious group reassures her she has nothing to worry about because his men will have orders not to harm her sister. He then issues those orders once she's out of earshot.

* In ''Webcomic/MenageA3'', Matt's vow to himself that he won't so much as look at another woman until he wins Kiley back would be a bit more authentically noble if [[spoiler:he wasn't bisexual]]. (Strip #1079, October 06, 2015, NSFW.)

* In ''Webcomic/ElfOnlyInn'', King Herman is a paladin, who is immune to PvP damage, trying to reason with the Dorum brothers. Dor Dorum starts shooting him with a flamethrower to the face. Herman asks Dor to "lower his weapon." Dor responds by [[http://www.elfonlyinn.net/d/20061113.html shooting the flamethrower at Herman's crotch]].
