* ''[[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/ The Whiteboard]]'' has two variations. One, since the author can't draw people (It's a furry comic), they are usually drawn as very simplified with their heads floating above their bodies. The only features are eyes and hair. Second, on days when Doc N doesn't have the time to post a regular comic and/or days the server fails to post a regular comic, a filler strip goes up with the characters drawn in a simpler style. Once the current storyline gets back on track, the filler strips are taken offline. The characters once [[LampshadeHanging hung a lampshade]] on the fact that they only have one pose in the filler strips.
