* The ''{{Mulberry}}'' comic "Jack the Ripper" has Jack's attempts to download illegal patches [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/mulberry/index.php?issue=8&page=7 invoke the presence]] of some [[CartoonAllStarsToTheRescue cartoon characters hoping to talk him out of it]]. Mulberry squishes the characters before they can actually go find Jack, and she never tells anyone that she met them.
** WordOfGod says this scene was originally part of a BrickJoke, with different characters coming later to lecture Jack, but the second scene would have disrupted the flow.

* In one strip of DarthsAndDroids (done on April Fools Day, that context can get lost when reading the entire sries), during the ''AttackOfTheClones'' sequence, Padme "dies" in the desert. The scene then abruptly shifts to screencaps of the scene from ''ThePrincessBride'' where the Grandson argues with Grandpa over Westley's death (only now they're arguing about Padme's). To make it even more confusing, Grandpa has the yellow speech balloons that indicates he's the GM, while the Grandson has the white speech balloons of a roleplayer. And the Grandson even calls him "Grandpa". (Is the GM a grandfather?!) Keep in mind, this strip is supposed to be about a bunch of players at a TabletopRPG.

* ''{{Drowtales}}'' had [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=617 a random dwarf seen dressed as Santa Claus]] with "Merry Christmas Elven Bastards" carved into his cannon. Besides being a rather bizarre [[BreakingTheFourthWall fourth-wall breaking moment]] outside of a chibi page (where such things usually occur), he never shows up again after this page. WordOfGod is that it was a joke since the page was published around Christmas.

* This was an unfortunate result of Dan of ''ElGoonishShive'' declaring that he's [[LighterAndSofter bringing silly back]]. One of the first tries involved Sarah calling for the Demonic Duck for absolutely no logical reason, leading to a bizzarre exchange, that ends with the duck jumping out of the car, and the conversation picking up from exactly the same spot it left off, wasting a whole page, plus two panels on basically nothing.
** YMMV on it being wasted. This Troper thought is was pretty funny.

* In one strip of DarthsAndDroids, during the ''StarWarsAttackOfTheClones'' sequence, Padme "dies" in the desert. The scene then abruptly shifts to screencaps of the scene from ''ThePrincessBride'' where the Grandson argues with Grandpa over Westley's death (only now they're arguing about Padme's). To make it even more confusing, Grandpa has the yellow speech balloons that indicates he's the GM, while the Grandson has the white speech balloons of a roleplayer. And the Grandson even calls him "Grandpa". (Is the GM a grandfather?!) Keep in mind, this strip is supposed to be about a bunch of players at a TabletopRPG.
