Finally found the trope I had been thinking of for the initial Jungle Book entry.

Also, with The Last Of These Is Not Like The Others now a disambig, removing the example until a more appropriate trope for the example can be found



* FormulaBreakingEpisode: "[[https://mezzacotta.net/itoons/?comic=777 How The Jungle Book Should Have Ended]]" and "[[https://mezzacotta.net/itoons/?comic=782 Wronger Lever]]" do not use a comic strip as a base source and instead use animated movies as their respective sources (''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'' respectively), with edited movie screencaps arranged into a comic strip format.



* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: [[https://www.mezzacotta.net/itoons/?comic=551 Variations on Assassins]], a belated follow-up to [[https://www.mezzacotta.net/itoons/?comic=467 Peanuts Minus Assas]], produces several alternate words made up from Charlie Brown's exclamation of "ASSASSINS!" when Shermy tells him Davy Crockett wasn't such a good guy...except for the last comic which [[spoiler:replaces Charlie Brown's exclamation with a punchline from a ''Garfield'' comic.]]

''Webcomic/DinosaurComics'' used to be off-limits as well; due to its "same artwork every strip" gimmick, only rewrites were thought possible, and ''The Dinosaur Whiteboard'' already fulfills that purpose. It has since been decided that other edits are indeed possible, and so edits of ''Dinosaur Comics'' that aren't suited for ''The Dinosaur Whiteboard'' may be submitted to ''iToons'' instead.

* WordSaladHumor: A handful of comics involve the dialogue in the edited comic being edited to say off-the-wall and nonsensical things, often with surreal visual edits to go with them, creating what seems to be the closest thing one could get to a print version of a YouTubePoop. Some comics in this vein include "[[https://www.mezzacotta.net/itoons/?comic=676 Can You Geggs?!]]" (a ''WebComic/{{Buttersafe}}'' edit), "[[https://www.mezzacotta.net/itoons/?comic=661 The Croquet Game]]" (a ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' edit), and "[[https://www.mezzacotta.net/itoons/?comic=735 Lubberly Glaums: Fiddlesticks]]" (an edit of mezzacotta's own ''Awkward Fumbles''), the last of which coins the term "geggslike" (in reference to "Can You Geggs?!") to refer to surreal comic edits like these.
