* ''[[http://absurdnotions.org/listwtlf.html WhyTheLongFace]]'': As the author once put it, it was the comic about his everyday life and himself as an anthropomorphic dragon in a world of anthropomorphic animals. While his other comic ''Absurd Notions'' was about entirely fictional humans. Yes, counter-intuitive.

* ''Webcomic/HangInThereKogasaSan'', which retells a {{doujinshi}} author's live, VideoGame/{{Touhou}}ified.

* ''Manga/SkullFaceBooksellerHondaSan'' Was originally published as a journal webcomic about the author and her coworkers' antics around a book store.

* ''Manga/SkullFacedBooksellerHondaSan'' Was originally published as a journal webcomic about the author and her coworkers' antics around a book store.

* ''[[http://www.mostlytruecomics.com/ Mostly True Comics]]'', an interesting example in that it frequently departs real life, but always identifies this departure in the "truthometer" that accompanies every comic, rating it on a scale of "Pants on Fire" to "Stick a Needle in my Eye."
* ''Webcomic/{{Overcompensating}}'' is an undisguised subversion of the journal comic; it claims to be the "100% True Journal Comic about Real Things that happen everyday," despite featuring the webcomic artist's journey to Hell, encounters with Chupacabra, adventures with CERN's Large Hadron Collider and loads of other hilarious and unabashedly false "real-life" exploits. In fact, it's new tagline is "The journal comic with a seething disdain for reality."

* ''LetsPlay/{{Bravemule}}'' A tale of dregs and clods, of elfs and other elfs, of squares and octogones, of murder and death. [[http://www.bravemule.com Bravemule]].

However, there's another sort of comic that prefers to stay within the believable bounds of RealLife: the JournalComic
