* In one ''ComicStriup/TheFarSide'' strip, two explorers find the journal of a scientist. The last entry says that the next day, the scientist would test the sense of humor of a group of large but gentle primates by giving one of them a handshake with a joy buzzer. The area is filled with the ripped/discarded clothing and destroyed equipment of the late scientist.

* In ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'', Darius' journal ends like this, as he goes to his certain death to distract Cerberus. The last entry he wrote is just "I love you, my children". [[spoiler:Subverted in that he is still alive, but his children believe he died.]] The journal itself continues after that entry, but the rest was written by Sakido instead of Darius.

The journal itself continues after that entry, but the rest was written by Sakido instead of Darius.Darius. ''Her'' last entry, which presaged her death when taking Rhea and Buwaro back to Medius, reads even more tragically than that of Daruis:
--->"Darius trusted us to take care of our little brother, but we just threw Buwaro away. If you are reading this and I'm no longer around, [[KarmicDeath then I've gotten what I deserved]]."

* ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'': A rare {{inversion}} happens when Celestine and Olga are reading through Kyril's journal. Rather than finding a "last page" that serves as an abrupt end, it is the two characters who discontinue reading and GTFO, lest they lose their minds due to prolonged exposure to the ArtifactOfDoom. After the pair bolt out, the journal itself opens to the definitive final page, with the author expressing how he StoppedCaring and needed to "end things", "stop it once and for all" and the like. He's still alive.
