* '''Comments on a Postcard''': Having finally completed their magnum opus, the phenomenally acclaimed genre-defying webcomic known as ''Postcard'', the Comic Irregulars have started to re-run it from beginning to end. But there's a problem - all of the comic image files have mysteriously been deleted! Furthermore, nobody else seems to have ever heard of ''Postcard'', or have any memory of ever reading it. But, [[RippleEffectProofMemory unperturbed]] by this apparent [[DelayedRippleEffect glitch in the time stream]], the Comic Irregulars are simply running the {{News Post}}s without the comic images, and hoping that the reader's imagination will suffice until they can find someone, somewhere, who has a backup copy of the files in their browser cache. [[note]]Actually, [[FictionalDocument there never was a webcomic]] - they're just making up the "commentary" and leaving it to the reader to imagine the described nonexistant image. Whether or not this even counts as a "webcomic" is a question that'd have Scott [=McCloud=] lying awake at night.[[/note]] Launched on 8 December 2008.

* '''Lightning Made of Owls''': a webcomic consisting entirely of user-submitted {{Guest Strip}}s (much like the [[http://www.moovok.co.uk/gsp/ Guest Strip Project]]), launched on 15 November 2008. Its name is a deliberate WordSaladTitle. It features the following stock characters:

* WebcomicsLongRunners - by the page's criterion, ''the'' longest one. Possibly a subversion (or a sign that the criterion needs to be changed.)

* '''mezzacotta''', a webcomic "with two people talking to each other. Mostly." Though it launched in October 10, 2008, its archive of daily strips extends significantly farther into the past. The archive contains strips for every day that has passed since the introduction of ''DarthsAndDroids'', ''IrregularWebcomic'', ''SluggyFreelance'', the World Wide Web, the year David Morgan-Mar was born, [[OlderThanTelevision television broadcasts]], [[OlderThanRadio radio]], [[OlderThanSteam the steam engine]], [[OlderThanPrint the printing press]], [[OlderThanFeudalism the fall of Rome]], and so on. The 'earliest' strip in its archive [[OlderThanDirt is supposedly 9,986,270 million years older than the presumed age of the Universe]].[[hottip:* :If you want to know where the comics ''really'' come from, they are [[spoiler: generated by a fractal algorithm seeded from the "publication date".]] One could, perhaps, think of it as the [[Creator/JorgeLuisBorges Webcomic of Babel]]... or maybe the [[color:blue:Webcomic]] [[HouseOfLeaves of Leaves]]. You can find the "first one" '''[[http://www.mezzacotta.net/archive.php?date=-9999999999999-01-01 here]]'''.

-->The most innovative webcomic for quite some time. By some measures.

* RuinedForever - the first line in the first comic is "I think this comic is going downhill." If so, it's been doing so since before the universe existed, so it must either be pretty horrible now or have been ''really'' good at some point before.

* {{Kayfabe}} / FramingDevice: It's pretty clear that the Comic Irregulars haven't ''really'' been making comics since before the universe began, but that's the story.
