*** Later, it gets a lot more suggestive when Karkat sees Dave during the walk around when passing thought a dream bubble. Karkat is asleep, but because of the dream bubble his "ghost" appears next to his sleeping body. One of the first things Karkat asks Dave is to test whether he's still tangible to him. How does he want to test it?

* BittersweetCandyBowl loves this trope, in particular teasing at Paulo x Daisy quite a lot.

** Tom just went absolutely ''crazy'' in [[ZigZaggedTrope zigzagging the trope]] for the entirety of Chapter 34, especially in regard to Jack/Annie, and towards the end manages to sneak in Kat/Paz and Kat/Annie too. As the troper Meta Four put it: "With one hand Tom sinks ships, and with the other he raises them from the briny deep."

** During an episode where he was drawing [[{{ItMakesSenseInContext}} "porn" of himself and his friends]] for [[{{CloudCuckooLander}} uu]], Dirk's shown [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006871 already setting up the Dirk/Jake pictures]] before uu even requests it. And then uu tells Dirk he doesn't want it.

** Every single character combination has been teased at one point or another; most of these teases go nowhere (such as when Vriska was looking at [[spoiler:Kanaya]] with obvious adoration and a heart appearing near her head; later on, Hussie stated that it was just an one-off gag).
* Done several times in ''SluggyFreelance''.

* Used, and possibly alluded to by name, on [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100915 this]] Higgs/Zeetha-heavy GirlGenius page.

** And of course, the first 500 strips tease the hell out of Marten/Faye and back. [[spoiler: It doesn't happen and it's never going to.]]

* The [[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=290 first]] ''VGCats'' strip in 2010, along with being a HeartwarmingMoment, did this and gave a rare canon hint of something more than what are usually seen between [[OnlySaneWoman Ae]][[YaoiFangirl r]][[DeadpanSnarker i]][[ComedicSociopath s]] and [[TooDumbToLive L]][[JerkAss e]][[CloudCuckooLander o]], inspiring a very good number of FanFics and {{Fan Art}}s in [[{{Shipping}} this subject]]. YourMileageMayVary though.

** Karkat and Terezi's relationship is...complicated. They have received many a tease of the course of the comic.

** The description of the trolls game has gone on a tangent about the trolls system of romance, which seems to involve a lot of violent making out.

** There's also been some very strong [[HoYay Dirk/Jake]] teasing. It was established pretty quickly that Dirk had a crush on him and was planning to do something about it, but for a while we had no idea how Jake felt. Then, it was revealed that [[spoiler:Jake was already well aware of Dirk's feelings, and had actually been thinking about taking him up on it. He wasn't sure whether to or not, but then Jane persuaded him to actually go ahead with it and ask him out.]]

* Despite (or because of) her apparent {{Asexuality}}, [[DeadpanSnarker Sus]][[StrawFeminist an]] from ElGoonishShive gets this with a lot of characters, including [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2012-03-06 Matt]], [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2008-05-12 Catalina]], [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2006-07-03 Justin]] and even [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2012-03-30 Elliot]]. Whether or not any of these will lead anywhere remains to be seen.

* There's plenty of this between Tanna and Rolan in ''Webcomic/EarsForElves'' at the Taurëcuiva Festival. They walk around arm-in-arm, Rolan compliments Tanna's flowers in her hair...

** Of course, more recently, Robin has [[spoiler:sought Cassie out and is spending a good bit of time with her. All friendly outings, but with just her. Maybe this ship has come in...]]

* ''SomethingPositive'' has teased fans by having [=PeeJee=] and Davan go through many relationship-like hurdles for years after Randy got sick of being asked the question. They both display forms of jealousy with other potential love interests, they spend a startling amount of time doing warm and fuzzy things together in a comic remarkably devoid of the same, and [=PeeJee=] even goes with Davan when he moves back to his home state of Texas. Of course, since [=PeeJee=] is based on artist Randy's friend and Davan is an AuthorAvatar, he was encouraged to do this with the condition that [[ShipSinking it never actually happened]], which was finally killed [[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp05312009.shtml once and for all.]]

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' writer AndrewHussie just might be doing this intentionally. The first few acts have a lot of people making claims about who has fallen victim to the human weakness of amorous inclination. John tells Terezi that Karkat loves her, Dave accuses Kanaya of having a thing for Rose, Rose accuses Kanaya of having a thing for Dave, Rose accuses Tavros of aiming to couple with Dave, John accuses Rose of hitting on Dave, Dave tells Rose he loves John, and Dave [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002999 basically flips the fuck out]] on Tavros [[CrowningMomentOfFunny at great length]].

** Basically, pretty much every single character combination has been teased at one point or another; most of these teases go nowhere (such as when Vriska was looking at [[spoiler:Kanaya]] with obvious adoration and a heart appearing near her head; later on, Hussie stated that it was just an one-off gag).

* Tessa, the artist and writer behind ''HannaIsNotABoysName'' might very well enjoy intentionally teasing the ever living heck out of her shipper readers, especially when it comes to Doc Worth, Conrad, and now Lamont. And it's awesome.
* I think we're forgetting Tracy Williams, the artist of ''GoodbyeChains'' who has made it very clear that she thinks being both the artist and the fangirl of such a comic is nothing short of ''the greatest fun''. Dig through her deviantART gallery if you don't believe me. You'll see what I mean. [[HoYay You'll thank me graciously.]]

* In ''TheDreamer'', in the 18th - century part of the comic, although Bea/Alan is the official couple (for now), there is some teasing for Bea/Alex potential, such as Bea and Alex ''living together for an entire summer'' and this little [[http://thedreamercomic.com/comic.php?id=253 comment]] from Alex in the third panel.

** While most of the above examples are intended as jokes, despite [[ShippingGoggles what some of the fandom]] believes, [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005595 this]] flash contains quite a bit of legitimate John/Rose shipping. Even the narrator, who is basically [[AuthorAvatar Hussie]] himself, gets in on the fun.

* ''GunnerkriggCourt'': Certain fans have noted subtext suggesting romantic feelings between Annie and Kat. Other fans have noted text-text that seems to contradict it (namely, that both characters have encouraged the other's crush on some third party). And then there's [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=112 this page]], which simultaneously plays up the subtext and undermines it by putting it in the mouth of the resident DeadpanSnarker JerkAss. Whatever Tom Siddell has planned for the characters, he seems to enjoy messing with the fans' heads in the meantime.

* '[[MenageA3 Ménage à 3]]'' features a lot of the [[HoYay same]] [[LesYay sex]] and heterosexual variety of this trope, most notably Zii and Gary.

* ''{{Homestuck}}'' writer AndrewHussie just might be doing this intentionally. The first few acts have a lot of people making claims about who has fallen victim to the human weakness of amorous inclination. John tells Terezi that Karkat loves her, Dave accuses Kanaya of having a thing for Rose, Rose accuses Kanaya of having a thing for Dave, Rose accuses Tavros of aiming to couple with Dave, John accuses Rose of hitting on Dave, Dave tells Rose he loves John, and Dave [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002999 basically flips the fuck out]] on Tavros [[CrowningMomentOfFunny at great length]].
