History Anvilicious / Webcomics

* While Chris is usually pretty good about it, ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'' has [[http://www.misfile.com/?date=2004-11-20 a few strips]] that make it more than clear that Ash's character is supposed to be read as a trans boy, and that everything he goes through is supposed to drive home AnAesop about accepting trans people, except for the ones that are supposed to drive home AnAesop about accepting gay people.

* Invoked and lampshaded in ''Webcomic/PlanetOfHats'', when Kirk literally drops an anvil while delivering AnAesop in "[[http://www.mezzacotta.net/planetofhats/episodes/0072.html Let That Be Your Last Battlefield]]".

* The autobiographical ''Webcomic/JoeVsElanSchool'' goes into detail about the near-constant abuse that its author endured during his three years at [[JuvenileHell the titular school]], as well as the PTSD he dealt with after he got out. The comic frequently highlights the systematic issues and policies that allow facilities like Elan School to operate unimpeded, and consistently argues heavily against sending children to those kinds of places.

* ''Webcomic/ExistentialComics''' blunt force anticapitalism and disdain for anything resembling mainstream economics can make it difficult to enjoy

* ''{{Webcomic/Rain}}'' has at least one character giving an extended monologue about acceptance and issues up to twice in almost every chapter.

* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' has a particularly painful anvil dropped in an oddly familiar explanation of how religion works on the Uryuom homeworld.

* ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'': While the comic was always full of political humor, around 2011 the plots and characters became secondary to the messages the author wanted to convey. At first, it was about the dangers of men, third-wave feminism, sex positivity, sex workers, and the patriarchy then it evolved to fear-mongering about trans people. Around 2019 the comic took on more reactionary views, and many strips focus on the dangers of "wokeness", vaccines, the surveillance state, and internet policing. The comic's anti-trans views are especially pronounced with the author presenting any exploration of gender identity as intrinsically tied to the decay of civilization.

* Strip [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1068.html 1068]] of ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' has a rather ham-fisted of women holding back their accomplishments in the presence of male co-workers.

* ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'' has had a tendancy to focus excessively on feminism since 2011, resulting in a very BrokenBase.

* Made fun of in [[http://www.rhjunior.com/NT/00772.html this]] ''Webcomic/NipAndTuck'' comic. Nip, a B-movie writer/star, talks about why he does not do romance in his movies. He explains how bad Hollywood romance plots are. He mentions ''Theatre/MyFairLady'' and ''Theatre/TheTamingOfTheShrew'' and how a girl with nothing wrong with her is run through a "Magic Makeover Machine" which is supposed to end up with the hero seeing her true inner beauty. The illustration that accompanies the talk shows a simple caricature of a woman getting smashed by a hydraulic press with the word "AESOP" written on it.

* ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'' consistently does this with feminism and other issues Willis is passionate about.

* ''Webcomic/PastelDefenderHeliotrope'' was rather unsubtle to readers with ideas of the oppression of women and sexual identities and [[PathOfInspiration evils of religion]]. To make sure ALL the bases were covered, JDR reveals in the ending that the entire thing was started because some robots wanted to ask permission to do we're-not-sure-what but no one was around to ask. Just to make sure that she's striking out against [[DigitalPiracyIsEvil anti-piracy]] legislation in the most Anvilicious way possible.

* Lampshaded/parodied [[http://www.rhjunior.com/TH/00149.html here]] in ''Webcomic/TallyHo''. With an actual anvil no less.
* Viciously mocked with the "Final Thoughts" in ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja''. Almost every single moral given is completely irrelevant to the story's content and gets comically derailed in some fashion.
* ''Webcomic/TheBMovieComic'' [[http://www.bmoviecomic.com/?cid=451 drops the anvil.]]

* Tim Buckley's self insert into [[http://farm1.static.flickr.com/27/51840032_3281fe1467.jpg?v=0 this]] ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel'' strip, where he rants at Jack Thompson. Also contains the irony that Tim is threatening Jack Thompson for saying that gamers are violent and that his video game obsessed main character performs acts of extreme violence on a regular basis (not to mention that his little spiel ends with the phrase "don't fuck with us").
