Commonality Connections in Webcomics.
- Batman: Wayne Family Adventures: The "GCPD" episode is all about Renee and Jim bonding over how weird and frustrating it is to deal with the various Robins over the years, and also gettting amusement from watching other officers make blunders that set the current Robin to screaming.
- In Blue Yonder, Lena tells Jared she'll help him search for his family because her own mother is missing.
- In Bob and George, characters regularly bond over their love of ice cream. Such as George's introduction.
- In Freefall:
- Both Sam and Florence were raised by people unrelated to them. Sam finds the notion they have more in common than they had thought is scary.
- Florence actively seeks out things in common so they work together better.
- Florence figures out a way to make them have something in common: give Sam a reason to fear what will happen to the robots.
- In an inversion, Edge is not pleased to realize there are other robots who think like he does. (Cuts down on his scope.)

- High Class Homos: August and Sapphia’s friendship start this way after they both meet at an event, and realise they’re both gay.
- Ménage à 3: Matt and Yuki initially pair up because she thinks he can help her work through her unfortunate tendency to go into a violent fugue state at the sight of male genitalia, and he feels sorry for her, having had weird issues of his own. The idea is to render Yuki able to start a functional relationship with Gary, who she thinks she loves. However, as Gary eventually points out, these two actually work rather well together, because Yuki can only ever partially repress her problem, and Matt enjoys danger, especially during sex. So they end up paired off.
- In Nip and Tuck, two feuding boys deny that they stopped feuding and settled down because of this; mutual Blackmail, instead, over girlie hobbies.
- Parodied in this strip in The Non-Adventures of Wonderella, where a group of one-shot villains team up to oppose Wonderella one more time. The problem is that the sole thing the villains had in common with one another is that they all had faced her exactly once and their entire villain team-up was based on that theme, so when they return all they do is stare her down for a couple seconds before immediately disbanding since their premise was no longer relevant.
- Outsider: While Alex Jardin is very different from the Loroi in many ways, he does manage to find a couple of commonalities with them. The pilot Talon, shortly after meeting him, guesses that he is also a pilot, saying that pilots have a natural feel for each other. Later, after several of the Loroi are shocked when Alex reveals that humans consume animal milk, the diplomat/intelligence officer Tempo notes that her home planet is more biodiverse than many other Loroi worlds and thus uses animals much more extensively for food, which the Loroi on the whole consider Foreign Queasine.
- In The Order of the Stick, Belkar releases an allosaurus to save the bounty hunter duo being forced to fight each other in the Empire of Blood's gladiator games. It's later revealed to be because he empathizes with them after adopting Mr. Scruffy, and grumpily complains that the ranger's supposed to influence the animal, not the other way around.
- Malack and Durkon quickly bond over the life of the adventuring cleric, being The Medic in a Boring, but Practical manner when the others never stop getting themselves hurt.
- In the "Stick Tale" retelling of "Jack and the Beanstalk", the giant is willing to discuss commonalities with the human he smells. The housekeeper squelches Jack's reaction to that.
- Durkon's uncle Thirden and his student Janna, both bards, were shown to be appreciative of Elan's understanding of narrative structure, while Elan's own teammates find that to be among his more irritating qualities.

Apparently they've both had nightmares about living in a world where numbers don't always stay in the same order.Emmett: You think you're 'bout to hit 47 but nope today it's 52's turn to be next.
