History WhamLine / Webcomics

-->'''Sidney:''' I know... I just... I don't think it's right, [[HumanMomNonhumanDad Dad]]!

** [[FanNickname Florida Man]] gets an absolutely ''nuclear'' example when he reveals [[http://ennuigo.thecomicseries.com/comics/1194/ why he helped Izzy and Addy escape]] their [[AddledAddict mother]].

* ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'': "[[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp02132004.shtml ...But I'm not drunk now, Jason.]]"
** "[[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp01272006.shtml .... oh. Oh.]]"

** Towards the end of Chapter 14, Undine and her fellow Training Club member Cassidy head out to their school's track for a friendly sparring match. Everything appears to be going well, at first -- Cassidy shows off her SelfDuplication powers, impressing Undine, and agrees to answer her questions about how they work after their practice. Then, without warning, she draws her blade and drops the act:

* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': It's been hinted that "[[BigBad Goops]]" has been scratching outside Tessa's window at night for weeks. At the end of chapter 12, Tessa opens the blinds and sees scrawled on the window "''I'LL BE HERE WHENEVER YOU'RE READY.''" Which means Goops is after her for something far worse than mere revenge.

--->'''Dmitri:''' "Pray Kimiko doesn't find you."
---> [...]
--->'''Number Zero:''' "That was her name, Number One. Before the world changed."

** An example that's both hilarious and tragic occurs [[http://ennuigo.smackjeeves.com/comics/2444363/hatred/ when Venus reveals why she wants to kill Izzy]].

** [[FanNickname Florida Man]] gets an absolutely ''nuclear'' example when he reveals [[http://ennuigo.smackjeeves.com/comics/2857215/shattered/ why he helped Izzy and Addy escape]] their [[AddledAddict mother]].

** "What? No! We could have narrowed it down further the next day if ''you'' hadn't killed her out of spite!"[[note]]Up to this point, everyone assumed [[EvilCounterpart the Linear Guild]] were responsible for the death of Tarquin's ninth wife, Tarquin included. This line from Nale reveals that [[NotMeThisTime they thought]] [[NotMeThisTime ''[[he]]'' [[NotMeThisTime did it]].[[/note]]

--->'''Coyote''': The reason I love humans so! The reason Ysengrin '''seethes''' with anger! My secret... is this... [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I. DO NOT. EXIST!]] [[note]]The chapter had, up until that point, seemed a light-hearted interlude with Coyote, before taking a sudden turn into a discussion of key setting metaphysics and speculation of the motivations of major characters and forces (ultimately escalating into Ysengrim inexplicably attacking Annie).[[/note]]

**

** #946 "It all goes smoothly. I have convinced the dwarf's allies to accept me as the dwarf himself--despite having slipped up on his ridiculous accent a few times." [[note]]The revelation that Vampire Durkon is not Durkon at all, but the High Priest of Hel possessing Durkon's body.[[/note]]

** #1209: "I think I say... ...Implosion."[[note]]Redcloak ends his negotiations with Durkon.[[/note]]

'''Anti!Breel''': I REMEMBER '''''MY MISSING PART.'''''

** But the best one of all from Doc Scratch is his [[FamousLastWords last line in the comic]], revealed only after his death, as part of the "[S] Cascade" animation which ends Act 5:

--->'''Rose:''' You must travel [[MediumAwareness back into canon]] and [[AbortedArc defeat]] [[BigBad Lord English]].

'''Please don't hide spoilers in this page. WhamLine is a spoileriffic trope by nature, so it's pointless to spoiler tag every example.'''

--->'''Black Dragon:''' [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0628.html ...Now I will kill your children.]] [[note]]This is the black dragon mother's plan for revenge, after V disintegrated her only son. This is particularly shocking to the audience because V was known to be married, but hadn't even hinted at having children.[[/note]]
** Strip #758 is somewhat unique in that several people deliver the Wham. [[note]]This reveals that one of the prisoners is Haley's father, and that Elan's father Tarquin was behind his imprisonment.[[/note]]

** From Dora: "Go home Faye. You're fired."

** A seemingly background character makes herself relevant, along with a long forgotten detail:

** After Todd defeats an expy of ''Film/TheTerminator'' with the help of Nick and Ki, he escapes with a truck, and reveals his relationship to his rescuers.

* ''Webcomic/{{Starfighter}}'': "Gentlemen, this is a time sensitive matter. Therefore I shall be brief. We are losing this war."

** When Rudy [[TemptingFate asks who would be unlucky enough to have to give Vin Vulpen a tail transplant]] (something that can only be done between blood relatives), Lindesfarne holds a ruler at his tail and says "Four inches should do it." The ensuing conversation reveals that he's Vin's half-brother, since they have the same father but different mothers. Rudy fervently denies it, until Kell steps in and reveals that she suspected that her husband had been unfaithful.

* ''Webcomic/ElectricWonderland'' ended its sixth story by having NJ try to call police to arrest Aerynn Arlia. The cop he talked to, Natasha Wing, refused to believe NJ's report, because she never encountered Aerynn in all her years of crimefighting. It sounds like a foolish reason not to take any action, until...

** When Kitsune gives King a choice to either be a human, or be a dog:

* During the goodnight scene in ''Webcomic/ModestMedusa''. Morseso for [[ParentalSubstitute Charles]] than the audience, since he never met [[CuteMonsterGirl Modest]]'s family:

** The PlagueZombie BlackSpeech can only be heard by mages. At some point, a speechbubble containing BlackSpeech appears in a panel focusing on Tuuri, a non-mage who got a PlagueZombie bite a few in-universe days previously, but had a chance of not being infected. Zombification in that world is basically a rare complication of an otherwise deadly disease, which had plenty of established symptoms that the reader could look out for. Hearing BlackSpeech was ''not'' on the list, in addition to not being a good sign for Tuuri.

** After a dark matter creature crawls out of the ancient artifact Oisri, Petey gets his hands on it, and fills in some gaps. [[spoiler: [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2012-12-30 "To my analysis, Oisri is not a vessel for imprisoning a dark-matter creature. It is a machine for creating one."]] ]]

** "[[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20210412 If it were]] ''very'' bad - heh - why ''then'' you would have ''Dreen''." [[note]]Kjarl Thotep attempts to reassure people that the Mechanicsburg timestop is not going to go boom, unaware that they very much have Dreen.[[/note]]

--->'''Henry Milton''': Keene, My boy!\\

'''Bratty Demon:''' YESSSSS-Oh Heavenly Energies, I remember!\\

** Before that, e end of Sister II:

--> '''Onni:''' It's looking for us again.

** #1209: "I think I say... ...Implosion"[[note]]Redcloak ends his negotiations with Durkon rather explovisly.[[/note]]

--> Charles: What are you afraid of?
--> Modest: Vampires. And pirates. And [[WouldHurtAChild my dad]].
* ''{{Webcomic/Paranatural}}''"

-->'''Demonic Parasite''': I see a paladin soul, ripe for suffering and holding the second [[SealedEvilInACan Prissan]]. But not the paladin soul I was expecting.Where is the creator of the axe? The one we cursed. Where is [[TheDreaded Kore]]?

-->'''Viv:''' I could have sat in paradise... [[Myth/HinduMythology Vishnu travels to Earth, he's a king-!]] [[{{UsefulNotes/Buddhism}} Buddha abandons luxury, he's enlightened.]] [[Literature/TheBible Jesus leaves Heaven, he's a ''Messiah'']]. '''I''' leave [[Literature/TheBible the Garden I'm a sucker.]]
