Added DiffLines:

* In ''Webcomic/KiddCommander'', Ulrich found and ate "seven sibling clovers from seven different soils", apparently meaning seven related clovers, with sequential leaves of one to seven.

* ''Webcomic/{{Prequel}}'': Katia finds a four-leaf clover and starts to hope her luck will improve. But then [[HearingVoices an audience member]] [[FridgeLogic points out that any good-luck charm whose sole requirement for discovery is to simply be lucky, would cause a runaway exponential growth of luck as one finds more and more four-leaf clovers and gets even luckier]], and since this has never happened, four-leaf clovers cannot be lucky. So she passes it onto [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Gharug]], who doesn't believe in luck but nonetheless becomes BornLucky from this very chain of events.
