* ''FunnyAneurysmMoment/{{Homestuck}}''

----

* An ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'' strip involved a character who is [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed obviously not Steve Irwin]] not dying from a fatal snakebite because [[DeathTakesAHoliday Death was on strike]]. It had the annotation, "Oh come on. You all knew Steve wouldn't die." The strip in question came out on ''the exact day of Irwin's death'' (although it was composed some three weeks before). This is [[LampshadeHanging pointed out]] in the annotation.
* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'':
** A demon hunter named Steve Uozin was an obvious CaptainErsatz of Steve Irwin... until he was [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=050219 stabbed through the torso]] in February of 2005. (By a demon rather than a stingray, but still...)
** Five years before that, during a Halloween special, Uozin had been [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=001031 stabbed in the heart]] by a demon's spear. A demon spear that was referred to as a 'squid-on-a-stick', no less...
* ''Webcomic/{{Megatokyo}}'' has [[http://www.megatokyo.com/strip/51 this]] fairly early strip depicting what would happen if Fred worked without Rodney, or vice-versa. Two years later, Rodney stopped contributing to the comic; the old joke strip turned out to be, in many ways, pretty accurate.
* ''[[Webcomic/OneOverZero 1/0]]'' declared "war" on another webcomic on September 11th of 2000.
* ''Webcomic/LeftoverSoup'': The CrimeOfSelfDefense storyline was ''in progress'' when George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin.
* The ''[[http://www.lefthandedtoons.com/361/ 21 November 2008 Left-Handed Toons (by right-handed people)]]'' subverted this trope by undercutting the punchline ''the day it was posted''.
* Due to a severe case of CerebusSyndrome, ''Webcomic/CollegeRoomiesFromHell'' is chock full of these. A few examples:
** An early running gag has Roger vehemently deny being a werecoyote, despite the fact that nobody accused him of being one. By the time he reveals that he is one, the strip's taken a dark enough turn that a terrible bloodlust, to which his mother has already succumbed, is a major plot point.
** Another early story has April and Roger get possessed by ghosts inhabiting a television set and a hairdryer, respectively, to do battle. Later stories show that Roger is particularly vulnerable to possession by Satan in his werecoyote form, and April's gradual progression to {{Yandere}} and eventually ManipulativeBastard is implied to be at least partially due to Satanic influence.
** The king of them all, however, is in the earliest storyline of note: A paranoid Marsha stabs Mike, hospitalizing him. Immediately afterward, she blames April, because "Miss Wimpy didn't want any bloodstains on her wimpy clothes!" It's OnlyAFleshWound, and Mike (a consummate ManipulativeBastard) recovers perfectly, then leverages Marsha's guilt to start off their relationship. In a much later storyline, Mike is [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]] when April, following an argument with Marsha about her relationship with Mike, [[spoiler:fatally stabs him]].
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
** The punch line of [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0548.html this]] strip is a retroactive example. The aneurysm doesn't come until you remember (or read, if you hadn't already) the ''Start of Darkness'' prequel in which you realize just [[MoralEventHorizon how low]] Xykon can go (and how painfully aware Redcloak is of it).
** There's also the Cliffport police chief talking about how the mayor was going to have his head on a pike because of the ruckus Nale caused. A couple of strips later, [[spoiler: Nale cuts off the Chief's head and impales it on his sword.]] [[{{Squick}} Mmm...shishkabobs.]]
** [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0417.html O-Chul's attempt to give Haley a sobering moment]] simply leads to an excuse to end the comic on a cuddle with Elan. But the big WhamEpisode [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0443.html to follow]] puts his words in an uglier perspective:
--> "It may be the last night alive for many of those girls you just told to 'chill out'. It might even be the last night for you, or one of your friends."
** Elan picturing Roy as a surrogate older brother becomes less funny when you realize that [[spoiler:Roy really did have a younger brother who might have become a bard, had he not died in an accident at a young age.]]
** In one strip, Xykon says this to Redcloak [[spoiler:after he murdered Tsukiko.]]
--->'''Xykon''': If you had to smoke her, you had to smoke her. Hell knows I've had occasion to off an uppity minion in my day. \\
This sounds like Xykon being his usual AffablyEvil self, until you've read Start of Darkness, where [[spoiler: Redcloak's younger brother attempted to kill Xykon to avenge his family, and Redcloak was forced to kill him]]. Its one of many ways Xykon subtly torments Redcloak.
** In [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0747.html this strip]], Haley claims it'll take "200-foot tall flaming letters" to help convince Elan that his AffablyEvil long-lost father is really bad news. ''[[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0759.html This]]'' strip [[BrickJoke makes a rather dark joke about it]] when that turns out to be the case, as Elan his horrified when [[spoiler: his father spells out Elan's name in ''the burned-alive bodies of rebellious slaves'', the same ones Haley and Vaarsuvius freed in an earlier strip.]]
** After meeting Tarquin for the first time, he makes a comment about how his latest wife died under "mysterious circumstances". While initially treated as a joke about how ObviouslyEvil Tarquin is (and how blind Elan is to that fact), it becomes less funny dozens of strips later when it turns out [[spoiler: he was telling the truth; his wife was killed as part of Vaarsuvius' Familicide spell, along with the rest of the heroic Draketooth clan and who knows how many other innocents that just happened to share relation to a certain black dragon.]]
** A rare case of averting this trope: In the print edition of the first run of comics, there's a previously-omitted comic during the battle with Xykon in which Vaarsuvius, paralyzed by a ghasts' touch, sits helplessly while a trio of demon roaches sits on his/her head and crack wise. Why was it omitted from the online comic? Because the morning that it was scheduled to be posted, Christopher Reeve died. The author (wisely) pulled it, only letting it see the light of day as a "bonus strip" over a year later.
* [[http://dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2004-06-07 This]] ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'' strip features Greg ''complaining'' about his magic being called a "super power". A few years later, there would be some agreement on that point.
* ''Webcomic/RealLifeComics'':
** [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=title-1940-2 This]] strip, which was posted a while before the unfortunately confirmed rumors of ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'''s cancellation started circulating.
** [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=title-1561 This]] one even more so. Yeah, [[WhoWouldBeStupidEnough what kind of idiot would the banks have to be to give a loan to someone who clearly can't pay it back?]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subprime_mortgage_crisis OH SNAP]].
* Back in 1999, ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' published a [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/1999/11/03/ strip]] about ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever'', which [[HilariousInHindsight became funnier]] with each year of the game's [[{{vaporware}} famously long]] development (which, back then, had only been over two years.) Almost a decade later, its developer [[http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?story=58519 shut down]]. Especially good because the strip more-or-less illustrated ''why'' ''VideoGame/DukeNukem Forever'' didn't come out when it was supposed to, long before anyone outside the production company knew. The company just kept playing around instead of delivering the ''promised'' game to a distributor (the distributor changed midway); by the time they took the deadline seriously (Take-Two was less patient than the previous distributor), they were no longer able to get the money to complete it. Of course, now that the game is ''actually'' coming out ([[http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2010/09/duke-nukem-pax/ and debuted at PAX no less!]]), the strip has changed to a HilariousInHindsight.
* This 2002 issue of ''[[http://www.krakowstudios.com/krakow/archive.php?date=20020315 Krapow Original]]''.
* A ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel'' Silly strips made [[http://www.cad-comic.com/sillies/20081215 this]] joke at the end of 2008, about Death needing to "break his record" of famous-people deaths in 2009. He managed.
* In ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary '', [[https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2001-01-21 this strip]] became less funny when Brad failed to survive a similar incident because of his HeroicSacrifice to prevent civilian casualties on the ground.
* ''Webcomic/BoyMeetsBoy'': An exorcist mentions going to a horrible alternate dimension -- "[[InAWorld a world]] where George Bush is reelected in 2004."
* [[http://drmcninja.com/page.php?pageNum=20&issue=11 This]] strip of ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'' revealing the "real Michael Jackson" to be in [[spoiler:Dracula's moon base]] has different connotations now that the 'fake' MJ is dead.
* ''Webcomic/{{Girly}}''. Literally ''everything'' the two heroines go through becomes one big moment when it's revealed that [[spoiler:it was all pre-set up by the villains to prepare one of the heroines to lead their uprising.]]
%%* Most readers of ''Webcomic/CuantaVida'' play ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2''. After the WAR! propaganda contest on the [[http://www.teamfortress.com/ official TF2 blog]], the [[http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=3391 runner-ups]] were announced, and many of them were hilarious, including [[http://www.teamfortress.com/images/posts/runners-up/sticky_bomb_tragedies.jpg this one.]] [[spoiler: Although, the bottom-left poster isn't quite as funny after reading [[http://tf2.skyscrapersoup.com/?p=202 page 86]]]] ...Yeah.
%%** Oh, yeah, and... a few pages later, [[spoiler:the upper-right poster]] would also apply.
%%** And now, it seems that [[spoiler: the upper-left poster]] also applies. [[spoiler: Jeez, will Rojo take the BLU demoman's spleen next?]]
* [[http://achewood.com/index.php?date=12042006 This]] ''Webcomic/{{Achewood}}'' strip suddenly got a lot less amusing when news of a [[http://timworstall.typepad.com/timworstall/2007/09/meg-white-sex-t.html sex tape]] (link SFW), falsely attributed to be of the real [[Music/TheWhiteStripes Meg White]], was released almost a year afterward.
* In ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'':
** Kat's belongings sometimes have the names of bands printed on them. In [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=718 this page]], her shirt reads [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparklehorse Sparklehorse]]. Mark Linkous, who led that band, committed suicide 2 months prior to the page being published. Considering the 30-page buffer kept by the author, it would seem that the page itself was made a few weeks before it happened. It has been confirmed by WordOfGod that this was intended as a tribute.
** After [[https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=217 triggering]] a warning klaxon, Annie quite calmly states that she dislikes alarms. A few chapters later, there's a flashback to when she was much younger and [[spoiler:had to [[https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=350 experience]] a [[UndeadChild ghost child]]'s memories of dying in a house fire, complete with smoke alarms]].
* [[http://www.asofterworld.com/index.php?id=483 This strip]] of ''Webcomic/ASofterWorld'' illustrates what seems like a rather improbable idea of what causes terrorists to be terrorists. But a later sociological study discovered that many of them don't really care about their cause, and if their mission is actually accomplished they just move on to another extremist group. It concluded that a large proportion really ''are'' [[spoiler:social rejects who can't find friends anywhere else, and are willing to kill for the sake of that bond.]]
* In ''Webcomic/YuMeDream'', in Part One, Jake sarcastically tells Lia, “I’m just pretending to be gay for all of the social benefits it brings,” the joke being that so far in the comic, he’s caught nothing but flak for his homosexuality. In Part Two, [[spoiler:after we’ve found out that that [[AllJustADream everything in Part One was essentially a reality show,]] it’s revealed that the actor who played Jake is actually a [[WordofGod “straight douche”]] who won an Emmy Award for his portrayal of Jake. The commentary on [[http://rosalarian.com/yume/?p=1383 this page]] suggests that he primarily won the award because of the (mis)perception that it’s a huge challenge for a straight actor to play a gay character.]]
%%This example is a violation of Repair Don't Respond. I don't know if the response makes the entire example invalid.
%%If the example is still valid, make it all fit into one bullet point before restoring it.
%%* In ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'', after having a year of her life erased (the year during which she gained admission to Harvard, no less), Emily is told to "Enjoy all the extra time you've got." It took on a whole new meaning once you realize that without the misfile, [[spoiler:Emily would've died in the same car accident that sent Molly to the hospital.]]
%%** actually, if the misfile hadn't happened, the crash likely wouldn't have happened at all. the extra 5 seconds it takes 2 people to get into the car would have pushed them back far enough that the other car would have missed them entirely. it would have been a very scary near miss that would have had the same long term effect of making them think seriously about their life.
* ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}''
** [[http://www.shortpacked.com/2009/comic/book-8/05-the-day-that-shortpacked-fell/previously/#comment-12740 This strip]]. The panel with Amber saying she's pregnant suddenly becomes really disturbing due to [[spoiler: Faz being Amber's (half) brother]].
* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' When Susan starts to explain the [[NoodleIncident long-unknown]] events that occurred in France, she alludes to the [[spoiler: [[OurVampiresAreDifferent not-vampire]]]] that's involved, when Grace calls her [[spoiler:[[ShoutOut "Susan the Vampire Slayer"]]]]. Yeah, [[spoiler:[[MercyKill guess how that]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone story ended.]]]]
** A EGS:NP strip has Susan and Sarah discussing vampire romance novels and how they would translate into real life. It turns out [[spoiler: she was almost killed by the way she described would happen in a vampire romance.]]
** Abraham [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=907 being incredulous]] about the nature of Ellen's "curse" is funny until you realize that [[spoiler: he's angry/freaked out because he vowed to kill whatever the diamond made, and that means he would have to kill something human.]]
** When Ellen first finds out that Elliot's improper awakening means that [[ItMakesSenseInContext he'll have to periodically turn into a girl until his magic stabilizes]], she [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2008-11-04 initially finds it hilarious]] and [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2008-11-18 jokes about it]]. When she then [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2008-11-22 learns]] that this is going to be a ''lot'' more inconvenient for Elliot than she'd realized, [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2008-11-26 she feels incredibly ashamed]].
*** [[spoiler: To make it worse, not only is Elliot's improper awakening a direct result of Ellen's creation, her partially magical biology means that her Awakening will be a lot easier to handle than Elliot's.]]
* A super-compressed in-universe example in ''Webcomic/BatmanAndSons'': In the first strip of the Loeb tribute, Batman suffers a BSOD when he recalls his last Halloween costume before his parents' deaths--
-->'''Thomas Wayne''': And who are you supposed to be, son?
-->'''Young Bruce Wayne''': I'm Death! And you're a dead man, Daddy!
* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'':
** [[http://xkcd.com/527/ This strip has a joke about Steve Jobs losing weight.]] It turns out his weight loss was due to cancer which proved fatal.
** In a "Blog/WhatIf" segment, the question is asked [[http://what-if.xkcd.com/40/ "What's the worst thing that can happen with a pressure cooker?"]] Within a week, three die when [[http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/2013/04/16/glance-pressure-cooker-bombs/MYVLq4WWSAOVsVjCMIiP2N/story.html pressure cooker bombs are used at the Boston Marathon]].
** In the alt-text for [[http://xkcd.com/453/ this comic about hurricanes,]] the author expresses interest in damage assessments for hurricanes hitting New York City. Then Hurricane Irene and Hurricane Sandy happened.
* A relatively minor example, which could become major, in ''Webcomic/{{Wondermark}}'': [[http://wondermark.com/775/ this strip]] made fun of an internet overuser, and joked about what she would do if the Internet vanished. Less than two months later, the strip's website and several of the sites listed in the comic joined [[http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/stop_sopa_what_a_blacked_out_internet_looks_like.php a large-scale Internet blackout in protest of SOPA]], a bill that could cause many sites to be [[BannedInChina blacked out permanently.]]
* ''Webcomic/{{Roommates}}'' has/had a RunningGag about [[Film/{{Labyrinth}} Jareth]] failing to do good despite his best intentions and efforts... after the [[WhamEpisode Dark!Jareth arc]] that got some pretty heavy subtext. [[spoiler: As a fictional character he can't defy the story and his role in it, doesn't matter how desperately he may try.]]
* ''Webcomic/DrugsAndKisses'' ran a strip based on the fairly common British past-time of joking about [[http://drugsandkisses.com/comics/95/ Margaret Thatcher dying]]. Naturally, five days later...
* [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=1423 This]] ''Webcomic/SquareRootOfMinusGarfield'' comic shows Jon trying to stop a bomb by frantically blowing on it. Obviously, he fails and it [[AshFace blows up in his face]]. Less than a week later, the Boston Marathon was bombed.
* In ''{{Webcomic/Drowtales}}'', [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10155 this]] {{filler}} of Snadhya'rune demanding a refund for [[DesignerBabies Kalki]] was put up during the publishing of chapter 46, and became a lot less funny at the end of that chapter when Snadhya brutally murdered Kalki and declared her nothing but a tool.
* In an ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow'' strip, [[{{Jerkass}} Lothar]] theorizes that Australian entertainer Rolf Harris is actually a pedophile based on his mannerisms and elements of his show. Eastwood reacts furiously and storms off in disgust, calling Harris a "national treasure", with the joke being that only someone as cynical and selfish as Lothar could ever think such a thing. Come 2014 and Harris is arrested for child molestation, meaning Lothar was right all along. To make matters worse, the strip was accompanied by a disclaimer reminding the readers that the opinions of the characters didn't necessarily coincide with the opinions of the authors (despite said characters being self-inserts). Which means presumably they all thought the world of Harris as well until the news came out.
* [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2013/09/24/513-smash-voters-ice-climbers/ This]] ''Webcomic/BrawlInTheFamily'' comic, doubly so, because not only did the Ice Climbers end up getting cut from Smash for Wii U/3DS, Snake, the other character in this comic, did as well. To make matters worse, the author comments below the comic mentions the possibility of the 3DS not being able to handle the Ice Climbers, which ended up being the reason they got cut: the 3DS just doesn't have the power to keep up with four sets of Ice Climbers at once without serious lag or framerate drops.
* ''Webcomic/{{Consolers}}'':
** [[http://consolers.webcomic.ws/comics/44/ In this]] comic, Nintendo mentions how she's told investors a million times that she's NOT interested in making iOS games and asks them to stop asking her about it. [[http://www.polygon.com/2015/3/17/8230521/nintendo-mobile-games-development-dena-ios Some weeks later...]]
** One of [[http://consolers.webcomic.ws/comics/pl/406849 Nintendo's terrible advice "spam mails"]] says to "replace [her] boss", referring of course to Nintendo's CEO and president at the time, Satoru Iwata, who was often critizised by analysts and investors. After Iwata's death in 2015, suddenly this became a lot less funny...
* [[http://www.bugmartini.com/comic/bucket-list/ This comic]] of ''Webcomic/BugMartini'' talked about attacking Paris; it became a lot less funny in 2015 after the Chariie Hebdo shootings that January and even less funny after the much deadlier attacks ten months later.
* [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/comicsandcosplay/comics/full-frontal-nerdity/15305-Full-Frontal-Nerdity-Why-Death-Has-Been-Common-So-Far-In-2016 This]] ''Webcomic/FullFrontalNerdity'' with Death apologizing for a rash of celebrity deaths in early 2016 ends with a joke about how Abe Vigoda was safe. In real life, Abe Vigoda died (of old age) less than a week after the comic was published.
* In ''Webcomic/AwfulHospital'', the resident {{Mad Doctor}}s and their ComicallyIneptHealing attempts get a lot grimmer in retrospect when the protagonist learns that [[spoiler:the Hospital and, by association, the very concept of medical care is being sabotaged, driving the doctors insane and eroding their ability to understand what's helping or hurting their patients]].
--> '''Dr. Phage:''' [[spoiler:Gaps in my understanding of reality are widening. I can feel it. ... There is little we can do but to continue our work as healers to the best of that ability, however fractured that ability might become.]]\\
'''Dr. Phage:''' We'll have those hearts pumping healthy yellow bile again in no time!
* ''Webcomic/VGCats'' once joked about [[Series/SesameStreet Elmo]] being caught up in a sex scandal. Years later, Elmo's puppeteer was forced to resign in [[PaedoHunt the wake of a statutory rape scandal]].
* ''Webcomic/GoGetARoomie'' has Ramona picking up a guy but not wanting to go through her usual dominatrix routine with him, which has caused some amused comments and discussion, seeing the lengths Ramona has to go to get something as "good, plain vanilla sex". She ends up asking the guy to grab her by the wrists and have rough sex with her in a back alley -- one strip later, a visibly shaken Ramona returns to the bar and confides in her friends that the guy broke down crying in the middle of the act because his mother lived through this very same scenario, only [[RapeAsDrama she was raped]].
* Ryujin, the main deuteragonist of the Webcomic/Manhua UnderPRIN, is usually terrified of women, and [[PlayedForLaughs comically so]]. He even refuses to perform in a girls' college due to this, when singing is the only way for him to earn bread for his son Miryu, which leads to some really hilarious moments between the son and father. This, however, [[spoiler: becomes very tearjerking, horrifying ''and'' disturbing after it's revealed that he was forced to rape his adoptive sister in the past, and by extension he ''himself'' was raped. To elaborate: His mother, the Demon Queen, forcefully fed him the demons' blood, which enabled her to take complete control over his body. She then proceeded to rape his sister ''while he was [[ForcedToWatch conscious during the whole time]]'', unable to do anything because of her absolute control over his body, which means that it wasn't just the sister who was violated, but ''Ryujin '' too. Yes, she, his own mother, ''' [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raped]] ''[[RapeAsDrama both of them]]'' [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil at the same time]]'''. This horribly traumatized both the siblings, destroyed Ryujin's already low self-esteem ''completely'' and was the incident that gave him his gynophobia. After this is revealed, the funny moments related to his gynophobia in the early chapters are no longer funny, but outright '''''[[HarsherInHindsight tragic]]'''''. ]]
* ''Webcomic/HyperboleAndAHalf'':
** Some of Allie's comical references to feeling miserable about her life and/or having low self-esteem can be kind of {{Tear Jerker}}s in light of her struggle with severe depression. Feel better, Allie!
** Early on, Allie wrote a funny entry threatening her uterus for giving her such painful periods. When Allie revealed on Twitter that she was going to [[http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2009/07/thing-of-day-uterus-rating-not-awesome.html her uterus and one ovary removed due to crippling endometriosis.]]
** A few of the earlier posts mention Allie doesn't shower very often. A common sign of depression is not taking good care of personal hygiene, like putting off showers.
* ''Webcomic/LilFormers'' having strips poking fun at ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' have become far less enjoyable to read after the sudden death of artist Derrick J. Wyatt in late 2021 at age 42.

** [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0417.html O-Chul's attempt to give Haley a sobering moment]] simply leads to an excuse to end the comic on a cuddle with Elan. But the big WhamEpisode [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0443.html to follow]] puts his words in an uglier perspective:

** Elan picturing Roy as a surrogate older brother becomes less funny when you realize that [[spoiler:Roy really did have a younger brother who might have become a bard, had he not died in an accident at a young age.]]
** In one strip, Xykon says this to Redcloak [[spoiler:after he murdered Tsukiko.]]
--->'''Xykon''': If you had to smoke her, you had to smoke her. Hell knows I've had occasion to off an uppity minion in my day. \\
This sounds like Xykon being his usual AffablyEvil self, until you've read Start of Darkness, where [[spoiler: Redcloak's younger brother attempted to kill Xykon to avenge his family, and Redcloak was forced to kill him]]. Its one of many ways Xykon subtly torments Redcloak.
** In [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0747.html this strip]], Haley claims it'll take "200-foot tall flaming letters" to help convince Elan that his AffablyEvil long-lost father is really bad news. ''[[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0759.html This]]'' strip [[BrickJoke makes a rather dark joke about it]] when that turns out to be the case, as Elan his horrified when [[spoiler: his father spells out Elan's name in ''the burned-alive bodies of rebellious slaves'', the same ones Haley and Vaarsuvius freed in an earlier strip.]]
** After meeting Tarquin for the first time, he makes a comment about how his latest wife died under "mysterious circumstances". While initially treated as a joke about how ObviouslyEvil Tarquin is (and how blind Elan is to that fact), it becomes less funny dozens of strips later when it turns out [[spoiler: he was telling the truth; his wife was killed as part of Vaarsuvius' Familicide spell, along with the rest of the heroic Draketooth clan and who knows how many other innocents that just happened to share relation to a certain black dragon.]]
** A rare case of averting this trope: In the print edition of the first run of comics, there's a previously-omitted comic during the battle with Xykon in which Vaarsuvius, paralyzed by a ghasts' touch, sits helplessly while a trio of demon roaches sits on his/her head and crack wise. Why was it omitted from the online comic? Because the morning that it was scheduled to be posted, Christopher Reeve died. The author (wisely) pulled it, only letting it see the light of day as a "bonus strip" over a year later.
* [[http://dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2004-06-07 This]] ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'' strip features Greg ''complaining'' about his magic being called a "super power". A few years later, there would be some agreement on that point.
* ''Webcomic/RealLifeComics'':
** [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=title-1940-2 This]] strip, which was posted a while before the unfortunately confirmed rumors of ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'''s cancellation started circulating.
** [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=title-1561 This]] one even more so. Yeah, [[WhoWouldBeStupidEnough what kind of idiot would the banks have to be to give a loan to someone who clearly can't pay it back?]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subprime_mortgage_crisis OH SNAP]].
* Back in 1999, ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' published a [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/1999/11/03/ strip]] about ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever'', which [[HilariousInHindsight became funnier]] with each year of the game's [[{{vaporware}} famously long]] development (which, back then, had only been over two years.) Almost a decade later, its developer [[http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?story=58519 shut down]]. Especially good because the strip more-or-less illustrated ''why'' ''VideoGame/DukeNukem Forever'' didn't come out when it was supposed to, long before anyone outside the production company knew. The company just kept playing around instead of delivering the ''promised'' game to a distributor (the distributor changed midway); by the time they took the deadline seriously (Take-Two was less patient than the previous distributor), they were no longer able to get the money to complete it. Of course, now that the game is ''actually'' coming out ([[http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2010/09/duke-nukem-pax/ and debuted at PAX no less!]]), the strip has changed to a HilariousInHindsight.
* This 2002 issue of ''[[http://www.krakowstudios.com/krakow/archive.php?date=20020315 Krapow Original]]''.
* A ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel'' Silly strips made [[http://www.cad-comic.com/sillies/20081215 this]] joke at the end of 2008, about Death needing to "break his record" of famous-people deaths in 2009. He managed.
* In ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary '', [[https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2001-01-21 this strip]] became less funny when Brad failed to survive a similar incident because of his HeroicSacrifice to prevent civilian casualties on the ground.
* ''Webcomic/BoyMeetsBoy'': An exorcist mentions going to a horrible alternate dimension -- "[[InAWorld a world]] where George Bush is reelected in 2004."
* [[http://drmcninja.com/page.php?pageNum=20&issue=11 This]] strip of ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'' revealing the "real Michael Jackson" to be in [[spoiler:Dracula's moon base]] has different connotations now that the 'fake' MJ is dead.
* ''Webcomic/{{Girly}}''. Literally ''everything'' the two heroines go through becomes one big moment when it's revealed that [[spoiler:it was all pre-set up by the villains to prepare one of the heroines to lead their uprising.]]
%%* Most readers of ''Webcomic/CuantaVida'' play ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2''. After the WAR! propaganda contest on the [[http://www.teamfortress.com/ official TF2 blog]], the [[http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=3391 runner-ups]] were announced, and many of them were hilarious, including [[http://www.teamfortress.com/images/posts/runners-up/sticky_bomb_tragedies.jpg this one.]] [[spoiler: Although, the bottom-left poster isn't quite as funny after reading [[http://tf2.skyscrapersoup.com/?p=202 page 86]]]] ...Yeah.
%%** Oh, yeah, and... a few pages later, [[spoiler:the upper-right poster]] would also apply.
%%** And now, it seems that [[spoiler: the upper-left poster]] also applies. [[spoiler: Jeez, will Rojo take the BLU demoman's spleen next?]]
* [[http://achewood.com/index.php?date=12042006 This]] ''Webcomic/{{Achewood}}'' strip suddenly got a lot less amusing when news of a [[http://timworstall.typepad.com/timworstall/2007/09/meg-white-sex-t.html sex tape]] (link SFW), falsely attributed to be of the real [[Music/TheWhiteStripes Meg White]], was released almost a year afterward.
* In ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'':
** Kat's belongings sometimes have the names of bands printed on them. In [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=718 this page]], her shirt reads [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparklehorse Sparklehorse]]. Mark Linkous, who led that band, committed suicide 2 months prior to the page being published. Considering the 30-page buffer kept by the author, it would seem that the page itself was made a few weeks before it happened. It has been confirmed by WordOfGod that this was intended as a tribute.
** After [[https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=217 triggering]] a warning klaxon, Annie quite calmly states that she dislikes alarms. A few chapters later, there's a flashback to when she was much younger and [[spoiler:had to [[https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=350 experience]] a [[UndeadChild ghost child]]'s memories of dying in a house fire, complete with smoke alarms]].
* [[http://www.asofterworld.com/index.php?id=483 This strip]] of ''Webcomic/ASofterWorld'' illustrates what seems like a rather improbable idea of what causes terrorists to be terrorists. But a later sociological study discovered that many of them don't really care about their cause, and if their mission is actually accomplished they just move on to another extremist group. It concluded that a large proportion really ''are'' [[spoiler:social rejects who can't find friends anywhere else, and are willing to kill for the sake of that bond.]]
* In ''Webcomic/YuMeDream'', in Part One, Jake sarcastically tells Lia, “I’m just pretending to be gay for all of the social benefits it brings,” the joke being that so far in the comic, he’s caught nothing but flak for his homosexuality. In Part Two, [[spoiler:after we’ve found out that that [[AllJustADream everything in Part One was essentially a reality show,]] it’s revealed that the actor who played Jake is actually a [[WordofGod “straight douche”]] who won an Emmy Award for his portrayal of Jake. The commentary on [[http://rosalarian.com/yume/?p=1383 this page]] suggests that he primarily won the award because of the (mis)perception that it’s a huge challenge for a straight actor to play a gay character.]]
%%This example is a violation of Repair Don't Respond. I don't know if the response makes the entire example invalid.
%%If the example is still valid, make it all fit into one bullet point before restoring it.
%%* In ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'', after having a year of her life erased (the year during which she gained admission to Harvard, no less), Emily is told to "Enjoy all the extra time you've got." It took on a whole new meaning once you realize that without the misfile, [[spoiler:Emily would've died in the same car accident that sent Molly to the hospital.]]
%%** actually, if the misfile hadn't happened, the crash likely wouldn't have happened at all. the extra 5 seconds it takes 2 people to get into the car would have pushed them back far enough that the other car would have missed them entirely. it would have been a very scary near miss that would have had the same long term effect of making them think seriously about their life.
* ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}''
** [[http://www.shortpacked.com/2009/comic/book-8/05-the-day-that-shortpacked-fell/previously/#comment-12740 This strip]]. The panel with Amber saying she's pregnant suddenly becomes really disturbing due to [[spoiler: Faz being Amber's (half) brother]].
* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' When Susan starts to explain the [[NoodleIncident long-unknown]] events that occurred in France, she alludes to the [[spoiler: [[OurVampiresAreDifferent not-vampire]]]] that's involved, when Grace calls her [[spoiler:[[ShoutOut "Susan the Vampire Slayer"]]]]. Yeah, [[spoiler:[[MercyKill guess how that]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone story ended.]]]]
** A EGS:NP strip has Susan and Sarah discussing vampire romance novels and how they would translate into real life. It turns out [[spoiler: she was almost killed by the way she described would happen in a vampire romance.]]
** Abraham [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=907 being incredulous]] about the nature of Ellen's "curse" is funny until you realize that [[spoiler: he's angry/freaked out because he vowed to kill whatever the diamond made, and that means he would have to kill something human.]]
** When Ellen first finds out that Elliot's improper awakening means that [[ItMakesSenseInContext he'll have to periodically turn into a girl until his magic stabilizes]], she [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2008-11-04 initially finds it hilarious]] and [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2008-11-18 jokes about it]]. When she then [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2008-11-22 learns]] that this is going to be a ''lot'' more inconvenient for Elliot than she'd realized, [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2008-11-26 she feels incredibly ashamed]].
*** [[spoiler: To make it worse, not only is Elliot's improper awakening a direct result of Ellen's creation, her partially magical biology means that her Awakening will be a lot easier to handle than Elliot's.]]
* A super-compressed in-universe example in ''Webcomic/BatmanAndSons'': In the first strip of the Loeb tribute, Batman suffers a BSOD when he recalls his last Halloween costume before his parents' deaths--
-->'''Thomas Wayne''': And who are you supposed to be, son?
-->'''Young Bruce Wayne''': I'm Death! And you're a dead man, Daddy!
* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'':
** [[http://xkcd.com/527/ This strip has a joke about Steve Jobs losing weight.]] It turns out his weight loss was due to cancer which proved fatal.
** In a "Blog/WhatIf" segment, the question is asked [[http://what-if.xkcd.com/40/ "What's the worst thing that can happen with a pressure cooker?"]] Within a week, three die when [[http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/2013/04/16/glance-pressure-cooker-bombs/MYVLq4WWSAOVsVjCMIiP2N/story.html pressure cooker bombs are used at the Boston Marathon]].
** In the alt-text for [[http://xkcd.com/453/ this comic about hurricanes,]] the author expresses interest in damage assessments for hurricanes hitting New York City. Then Hurricane Irene and Hurricane Sandy happened.
* A relatively minor example, which could become major, in ''Webcomic/{{Wondermark}}'': [[http://wondermark.com/775/ this strip]] made fun of an internet overuser, and joked about what she would do if the Internet vanished. Less than two months later, the strip's website and several of the sites listed in the comic joined [[http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/stop_sopa_what_a_blacked_out_internet_looks_like.php a large-scale Internet blackout in protest of SOPA]], a bill that could cause many sites to be [[BannedInChina blacked out permanently.]]
* ''Webcomic/{{Roommates}}'' has/had a RunningGag about [[Film/{{Labyrinth}} Jareth]] failing to do good despite his best intentions and efforts... after the [[WhamEpisode Dark!Jareth arc]] that got some pretty heavy subtext. [[spoiler: As a fictional character he can't defy the story and his role in it, doesn't matter how desperately he may try.]]
* ''Webcomic/DrugsAndKisses'' ran a strip based on the fairly common British past-time of joking about [[http://drugsandkisses.com/comics/95/ Margaret Thatcher dying]]. Naturally, five days later...
* [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=1423 This]] ''Webcomic/SquareRootOfMinusGarfield'' comic shows Jon trying to stop a bomb by frantically blowing on it. Obviously, he fails and it [[AshFace blows up in his face]]. Less than a week later, the Boston Marathon was bombed.
* In ''{{Webcomic/Drowtales}}'', [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10155 this]] {{filler}} of Snadhya'rune demanding a refund for [[DesignerBabies Kalki]] was put up during the publishing of chapter 46, and became a lot less funny at the end of that chapter when Snadhya brutally murdered Kalki and declared her nothing but a tool.
* In an ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow'' strip, [[{{Jerkass}} Lothar]] theorizes that Australian entertainer Rolf Harris is actually a pedophile based on his mannerisms and elements of his show. Eastwood reacts furiously and storms off in disgust, calling Harris a "national treasure", with the joke being that only someone as cynical and selfish as Lothar could ever think such a thing. Come 2014 and Harris is arrested for child molestation, meaning Lothar was right all along. To make matters worse, the strip was accompanied by a disclaimer reminding the readers that the opinions of the characters didn't necessarily coincide with the opinions of the authors (despite said characters being self-inserts). Which means presumably they all thought the world of Harris as well until the news came out.
* [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2013/09/24/513-smash-voters-ice-climbers/ This]] ''Webcomic/BrawlInTheFamily'' comic, doubly so, because not only did the Ice Climbers end up getting cut from Smash for Wii U/3DS, Snake, the other character in this comic, did as well. To make matters worse, the author comments below the comic mentions the possibility of the 3DS not being able to handle the Ice Climbers, which ended up being the reason they got cut: the 3DS just doesn't have the power to keep up with four sets of Ice Climbers at once without serious lag or framerate drops.
* ''Webcomic/{{Consolers}}'':
** [[http://consolers.webcomic.ws/comics/44/ In this]] comic, Nintendo mentions how she's told investors a million times that she's NOT interested in making iOS games and asks them to stop asking her about it. [[http://www.polygon.com/2015/3/17/8230521/nintendo-mobile-games-development-dena-ios Some weeks later...]]
** One of [[http://consolers.webcomic.ws/comics/pl/406849 Nintendo's terrible advice "spam mails"]] says to "replace [her] boss", referring of course to Nintendo's CEO and president at the time, Satoru Iwata, who was often critizised by analysts and investors. After Iwata's death in 2015, suddenly this became a lot less funny...
* [[http://www.bugmartini.com/comic/bucket-list/ This comic]] of ''Webcomic/BugMartini'' talked about attacking Paris; it became a lot less funny in 2015 after the Chariie Hebdo shootings that January and even less funny after the much deadlier attacks ten months later.
* [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/comicsandcosplay/comics/full-frontal-nerdity/15305-Full-Frontal-Nerdity-Why-Death-Has-Been-Common-So-Far-In-2016 This]] ''Webcomic/FullFrontalNerdity'' with Death apologizing for a rash of celebrity deaths in early 2016 ends with a joke about how Abe Vigoda was safe. In real life, Abe Vigoda died (of old age) less than a week after the comic was published.
* In ''Webcomic/AwfulHospital'', the resident {{Mad Doctor}}s and their ComicallyIneptHealing attempts get a lot grimmer in retrospect when the protagonist learns that [[spoiler:the Hospital and, by association, the very concept of medical care is being sabotaged, driving the doctors insane and eroding their ability to understand what's helping or hurting their patients]].
--> '''Dr. Phage:''' [[spoiler:Gaps in my understanding of reality are widening. I can feel it. ... There is little we can do but to continue our work as healers to the best of that ability, however fractured that ability might become.]]\\
'''Dr. Phage:''' We'll have those hearts pumping healthy yellow bile again in no time!
* ''Webcomic/VGCats'' once joked about [[Series/SesameStreet Elmo]] being caught up in a sex scandal. Years later, Elmo's puppeteer was forced to resign in [[PaedoHunt the wake of a statutory rape scandal]].
* ''Webcomic/GoGetARoomie'' has Ramona picking up a guy but not wanting to go through her usual dominatrix routine with him, which has caused some amused comments and discussion, seeing the lengths Ramona has to go to get something as "good, plain vanilla sex". She ends up asking the guy to grab her by the wrists and have rough sex with her in a back alley -- one strip later, a visibly shaken Ramona returns to the bar and confides in her friends that the guy broke down crying in the middle of the act because his mother lived through this very same scenario, only [[RapeAsDrama she was raped]].
* Ryujin, the main deuteragonist of the Webcomic/Manhua UnderPRIN, is usually terrified of women, and [[PlayedForLaughs comically so]]. He even refuses to perform in a girls' college due to this, when singing is the only way for him to earn bread for his son Miryu, which leads to some really hilarious moments between the son and father. This, however, [[spoiler: becomes very tearjerking, horrifying ''and'' disturbing after it's revealed that he was forced to rape his adoptive sister in the past, and by extension he ''himself'' was raped. To elaborate: His mother, the Demon Queen, forcefully fed him the demons' blood, which enabled her to take complete control over his body. She then proceeded to rape his sister ''while he was [[ForcedToWatch conscious during the whole time]]'', unable to do anything because of her absolute control over his body, which means that it wasn't just the sister who was violated, but ''Ryujin '' too. Yes, she, his own mother, ''' [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raped]] ''[[RapeAsDrama both of them]]'' [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil at the same time]]'''. This horribly traumatized both the siblings, destroyed Ryujin's already low self-esteem ''completely'' and was the incident that gave him his gynophobia. After this is revealed, the funny moments related to his gynophobia in the early chapters are no longer funny, but outright '''''[[HarsherInHindsight tragic]]'''''. ]]
