Philler Space is a webcomic started in 2005 by Alex Asper.
Philler Space contains examples of:

- All Psychology Is Freudian: One arc has Philler split into three beings: his id, ego, and superego.
- Author Avatar: Alex, the creator of the Philler Space comics, shows up multiple times and manipulates the story. He's represented with photographs instead of drawings.
- Comic-Book Time: Characters age slower than real time, but the present is always the real time date.
Lampshaded:Max: What trimester were we in when we all went to see Eragon?
Philler: First part of freshman year. Duh.
Max: And when did Eragon come out?
Philler: December 2006.
Max: And what's the date today?
Philler: May 2008.
Max: And yet, despite a 1½ year difference, we're still in the first part of our freshman year. Doesn't that seem odd to you?
