[[TerminatorTwosome Both the villain and the heroes]] of the Storm Breaker" saga conclusion.]]
Breaker Saga wound up in the Middle Ages as [[AccidentalTimeTravel unintended consequences]] of Riff messing with the "time blaster" he acquired -- which itself came from the future.
** Dr. Irving Schlock [[spoiler: who is (at least, the version of him most significant to the story) also comes from that future, introducing ahead-of-its-time inflatable technology, including a time machine]].
** [[AnthropomorphicPersonification The year 2003]] delivered a warning down
the future (with Inflatable Technology)]]
timestream in an effort to [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong save Christmas]].
** [[PlaceBeyondTime Timeless Space]]: where almost every failed time traveler ends up.
** Time Czar, a TimeMaster supervillain [[spoiler: who doesn't seem to accomplish anything besides zapping people to Timeless Space]].
** The Time Czarplot of the chapter "Mohkadun" is driven by MentalTimeTravel: specifically, a magical FreakyFridayFlip between Gwynn and a queen from TheTimeOfMyths.
** Hereti-Corp has performed its own time-travel experimentation, [[YouHaveFailedMe including on one disgraced agent]] [[spoiler: who took TheSlowPath back, culminating in several years on the corporation's board of directors [[TheFaceless without revealing his face]] or [[FutureSelfReveal his original identity]]]].

* ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'': the 'Dave Davenport is Unstuck in Time' arc codified the rules, and future story arcs used the same rules. Fiddling around puts you in an Alternate Timeline. To move through time requires all the eneregy of an entire universe, thus ''utterly destroying an alternate universe/timeline'' in the process. Since you are in an Alternate Timeline, you can indeed change the future or the past. Dave is able to stop smoking by never having started. He is also able to give his past self information [[spoiler: that saves the lives of Helen and Artie, and avoids a BadFuture.]]

* ''Webcomic/AllOverTheHouse'' occasionally sees Emily and Tesrin venturing through time for fun.



* The Webcomic/{{Bobbinsverse}} comics, and especially ''Webcomic/ScaryGoRound'' and in [[TimeTravelEpisode one storyline]] ''Webcomic/BadMachinery'', feature quite a bit of time travel, by various methods. It tends to get messy and weird. There are apparently rules, but they're hard to keep track of.



* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' incorporates a lot of TimeTravel in its plot points, especially with the Midnight Crew intermission, where every single member of The Felt had a special ability related to manipulating time or alternate timelines. Within the main story, Dave (as the [[TimeMaster Knight of Time]]) has the ability to accelerate or reverse time around him. [[FutureBadass Alternate Future Dave]] becomes a minor character, [[spoiler:but he is [[YourDaysAreNumbered doomed to die]] since he's not part of the [[StableTimeLoop alpha timeline]].]]
** A major source of humour in the comic comes from 'Trollian' a IM system of sorts used by the Troll aliens that can be used to talk to others, and yourself, from forwards and backwards in time. However the Trolls' grasp of time travel is tenuous at best, and it probably causes more confusion than clearing anything up. One particular troll spends literally hours arguing with his hated past/future self (there's one notable instance where he starts a time memo only to be interrupted by an argument with a future version of himself that goes on for so long he ''becomes'' that future version of himself and starts arguing with his (by then) past self).
** After touching an artifact that once belonged to Lord English, [[spoiler:John Egbert]] is able to teleport and time travel throughout the narrative though he can't control it yet. Unlike Dave and other Time players' form of time travel, [[ScrewDestiny he can actually change the past]] instead of simply spawning a doomed timeline or fulfilling a StableTimeLoop.
* The current mega-arc of ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'' has massive time travellings done by many many characters in many many themes. [[spoiler:This might be a GambitRoulette on the part of the author to resurrect himself and ScrewDestiny after he got killed by himself in the future and becomes Death of Going Back in Time And Killing Yourself and is suppose to go back and kill himself to continue the StableTimeLoop]]. Also, Leonardo da Vinci is a time traveller, is British, and made deals with Deaths. Did I mention that [[Series/DoctorWho TARDIS]] also exist, and being used by the pirates and British navy crews (the latter owns it (?)), with the theme sets in 18th century? Yeah, it's that weird.

* ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'' features time travel (as well as dimensional travel) in several arcs, including "Doc Gets Rad" ([[spoiler:BigBad Sparklelord]] gets defeated by being trapped in a StableTimeLoop), "Army of One" (In a {{flashback}}, a time-travelling [[spoiler:Chuck Goodrich]] tries briefly to stop Doc from being cloned by Ben Franklin II), and "Space Savers" (Yet another [[spoiler:Chuck Goodrich]] travels back in time [and into another universe] to stop a space dinosaur invasion). It's established that you can't change the past, you can only create a new divergent timeline, and those are the same thing as alternative dimensions.
