** [[http://nonadventures.com/2015/06/07/heir-line-fracture Harmageddon]] is one to UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks in general and Rob Liefeld in particular, particularly with his excess pouches and the way he carefully stands with his [[HandsInPockets feet concealed behind two rocks]].

From September 9, 2006, to August 28, 2016, the comic usually updated on Saturdays, and [[AltText was accompanied by a message from the writer]]. Starting in September 2016, Pierce decided to produce longer stories, requiring a more sporadic schedule. As of the beginning of 2022, it looks like the comic has ended, with no new updates since 2019.

** In the first appearance of [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/04/14/shark-and-shark-alike Dr. Shark,]] everybody in town gets turned into sharks and dies. The mouseover text tells us "Don't make the same mistakes these people did. Don't be sharks."

''[[http://nonadventures.com The Non-Adventures of Wonderella]]'' is a parody of the Creator/DCComics character Franchise/WonderWoman and many superhero tropes in general. It focuses mainly on the mundane parts of the life of Wonderella, a lazy [[TheLadette Ladette]] superheroine who demonstrates [[PunchClockHero little interest in being a hero]]... or, in fact, doing anything much outside of partying, getting completely wasted, violence, and shopping. She is super-strong, super-durable, she can't fly but she can "totally jump hella high", [[FlightStrengthHeart when tied up she can hork up a giant octopus]], she can [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/06/28/balance-of-flower tell plants to die,]] and she can [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/04/26/power-couple curl up in a perfect ball when traumatized.]] She also has a rarely-used invisible blimp, and the tendency to make prejudiced remarks (especially about gay men, but pretty much every minority group gets a turn).
