History ShipTease / Webcomics

** And now, according to Karat, John's got a black crush on Terezi.

* The most popular 'ship in ''Webcomic/GoGetARoomie'' is Lillian/Roomie -- something which [[http://www.gogetaroomie.com/index.php?id=760 the author is very clearly aware of and willing to tease.]] To the point that the fans couldn't even tell when it was posted if [[spoiler:[[http://www.gogetaroomie.com/comic/strip-666 a BigDamnKiss]]]] was serious or not.

* BittersweetCandyBowl loves this trope, in particular teasing at Paulo x Daisy quite a lot, though Mike x Daisy, Mike x Sue, and Lucy x Jessica all get teased at. In-character, the rest of the cast members tauntingly ship Mike x Paulo after the two end up sharing a room and get into a (rather noisy) fight over the bed that [[HoYay sounds like something else]].

* ''TheWotch'' had a page supporting a Robin/Cassie pairing [[spoiler:for April Fools day.]]

* ''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. 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.]]
* ''LookingForGroup'' has this in the scene where Richard's spirit and Pella have a moment in a parody of the movie ''Ghost''. After which we get the infamous "I thought we agreed no eye contact." and "You violated my spirit!" exchange. Way before all that, Richard had even declared "Can we keep her?" when having first met the dwarf. If you read in between the lines a few pages later on, in the scene right before she throws an axe into his forehead, he almost seems to be throwing a pickup line at her before being shot down. "I'd like to see more of that." indeed.
* ''QuestionableContent'' is occasionally doing this to Angus and Marigold. Like, [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1536 here]]. And [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1599 here]]. Poor [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1369 Faye]]...

* Tessa, the artist and writer behind ''HannaIsNotABoysName'' might very well enjoy intentionally teasing her shipper readers, especially when it comes to Doc Worth, Conrad, and now Lamont. And it's awesome.
* Tracy Williams, the artist of ''GoodbyeChains'' 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.]]
* ''PennyAndAggie'' teased shippers of the title characters for over five years, whether through Sara first espousing the theory in-comic (and Lisa and Katy-Ann temporarily considering it); Penny's occasional blushing awkwardness around, and erotic dreams about, Aggie; a strip depicting either a possible future, or Penny's unconscious fantasy, where they end up together; [[note]]the author always [[ShrugOfGod declined]] to say which it was[[/note]] and Aggie's dream in which Penny holds her hand and looks at her longingly. Furthermore, T Campbell dropped ambiguous hints in the forums and in his strip annotations in the [=P&APlus=] pay-site. The most [[WordOfGod straightforward]] comments he made on the issue before the finale were that both characters had "[[WordOfGay bisexual leanings]]" and that the ''issue'' of a mutual attraction had been part of the plan from the comic's beginning. [[spoiler:They get together in the last "proper" arc; the DistantFinale reveals they broke up within a few months, and ends with some more ShipTease between the two.]]
* 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 a summer'' and this little [[http://thedreamercomic.com/comic.php?id=253 comment]] from Alex in the third panel.
* Used, and possibly alluded to by name, on [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100915 this]] Higgs/Zeetha-heavy Webcomic/GirlGenius page.

* ''TheSims 3'' blog/webcomic ''Webcomic/AliceAndKev'' is doing this a lot with Alice and Zedadias. Recently, the creator introduced the character Shirley, who just has to be a RomanticFalseLead. Has to be!

*** Later updates feature [[spoiler: John comforting Roxy after Rose dies]], and a ton of ''very'' blatant Ship Tease between the two in general.

* ''Webcomic/ToddAllisonAndThePetuniaViolet'' does this with ''absolutely everyone.'' Paricularly, Todd Allison and Petunia, Meredith and Elijah, Elijah and Dylan, and Cyril and everyone he ever talks to. Ever.

----
* In JosephAndYusra ,Joseph/Yusra shippers have been teased for a long time. They think each other the very best friends, really care the other, and there are a lot of ImpliedLoveInterest, AccidentalPervert, or NotWhatItLooksLike scenes. Plus Mary told them that [[spoiler: their superpowers actiate when someone who they "love" -- that is, someone really precious for them -- is in crisis]]. However, they still keep SheIsNotMyGirlfriend behavior and the relationship is still LikeBrotherAndSister or so good friends in spite of [[spoiler: their power is continuing to strengthen]]. Moreover, Yusuf, so religious Muslim and Yusra's brother, [[BigBrotherInstinct watches them not to approach and overcome to sinful temptions]], and there are another girl, Yael.

** While Roxy has had ship teases with [[AnythingThatMoves just about everybody]] (Jane, Jake, Dirk, Jane's ''Dad'', UU/[[spoiler: Calliope]], etc.) the odd ship out is John/Roxy; John sees her when she sleepwalks into a dreambubble and comments that she's attractive. Then, he [[HeroicSacrifice pushes her out of the way of]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext a trident]] (although admittedly he [[NiceGuy probably would've done that one anyway]]). Later, Roxy mentions that she wants to give the ring she found to the person she's going to marry. Guess who is currently in possession of said ring and has made similar comments?[[note]]Granted, it might just be something about that ring, considering Tavros also planned to use it to propose to Vriska, and [[AuthorAvatar Hussie]] actually has used it to propose to her.[[/note]]

* ''{{Misfile}}''. Dear god, ''Misfile''. No matter whether you ship Ash/Missi or Ash/Emily, it's a bumpy ride either way.

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

** Recently, she's gotten a ''lot'' more of it with Elliot. Good examples are [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2012-12-21 this]] and [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2013-01-18 this]]. Susan also seems to be aware of it, as it led to a [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend I Am Not His Girlfriend]] moment [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2013-01-11 here]], and a VerbalBackspace [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2013-02-05 here]].

* Despite (or because of) her apparent {{Asexuality}}, [[DeadpanSnarker Sus]][[StrawFeminist an]] from ''Webcomic/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.

** [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005595 Seer: Decend]] has quite a bit of John/Rose shipping. Karkat and Jade have also shipped this. John, like Jade, also [[spoiler:revived Rose via kiss]].

** Jade and Roxy are seen going at it in a still insert in [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=pony2 the second [S] Ride Easter egg]] (found via the pink horseshoe in the bottom-right corner at the end of [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006517 this flash]] for those who insist on doing these things properly), with cotton candy littering the floor in a nod to their [[IdiosyncraticShipNaming Idiosyncratic Ship Name]].

* ''PennyAndAggie'' has been teasing shippers of the title characters for over five years, whether through Sara first espousing the theory in-comic (and Lisa and Katy-Ann temporarily considering it); Penny's occasional blushing awkwardness around, and erotic dreams about, Aggie; a strip depicting either a possible future, or Penny's unconscious fantasy, where they end up together;[[hottip:* :the author has [[ShrugOfGod declined]] to say which it is]] and Aggie's dream in which Penny holds her hand and looks at her longingly.

The most [[WordOfGod straightforward]] comments he's made on the issue are that both characters have "[[WordOfGay bisexual leanings]]" and that the ''issue'' of a mutual attraction has been part of the plan from the comic's beginning. With the still-in-progress final major storyline, [[spoiler: things [[FirstKiss gradually]] [[RelationshipUpgrade change]]]].

** A significant nod is thrown to Kanaya/Rose in [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=007163 [S] ACT 6 INTERMISSION 3]]:
-->[[color:#77003c:MEENAH: she your g frond]]
-->[[color:#77003c:MEENAH: the red sort i mean]]
-->[[color:#008141:KANAYA: ...]] # # #
-->[[color:#008141:KANAYA: Maybe]] # # # # #Additional Bashfully Blank Hash Tags
** Some more Kanaya/Rose, and some Dave/Terezi, earlier when Karkat, made paranoid by John's riff on his earlier comment about "sloppy troll/human makeouts" in a letter sent in a bucket of the style used for fertilization by trolls, [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006273 sees them as making eyes at each other]].
*** Kanaya/Rose has since moved past "teasing" and into "straightforwardly canonical".

** Continuing the trend of just barely ambiguous Dirk/Jake shiptease, in the Act 6 Act 4 flash it's shown that in the intervening time Jake has gotten a tattoo matching Dirk's. Admittedly, they're of ''SweetBroAndHellaJeff'', but ''still''...

--> DAVE: [[FreudianSlip maybe ill just dream up my own john tonight and well have an awesome time without you what do you think about that]]

--> Considering that from most indications Karkat is not somebody that likes to be touched often, this is pretty heavy ship teasing.
