* Twice in ''Tales from the Tables'', a series of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' comics by [=DoodlePoodle=], a character does something that doesn't match their alignment. When the [=DM=] points this out, their player responds that they don't care. Also counts as a BookEnds if you were watching Solus Astorias's voiceovers, as the latter is the last strip they dubbed.
** The first time, a player joins as a Lawful Good human fighter and is immediately roasted by the rest of the group for her lack of originality, [[HypocriticalHumor in spite of them all playing as edgy tieflings.]] This enrages her to the point that she burns down the tavern they were meeting up in.
** The second time, the party is offered hush money to cover up a particularly heinous act. The tiefling rogue from the former strip who was labeled as "Chaotic Questionable" in another agrees. [[spoiler: Or so it seems, [[EveryoneHasStandards moments before she stabs the perpetrator in the back.]]]]

** In an [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0084.html early strip]], Durkon lectures Hilgya on dwarves, misery, and duty, telling her how his mother taught him to take feelings like love "and bury them inna a deep dark part o' my soul and nev'r ev'r talk about 'em again." ''[[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1129.html over a thousand strips later]]'', we see his mother teaching him just this lesson, and the circumstances of said lesson.

* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'': [[http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/19970926 Sept 26 1997]] and [[http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/110915 Sept 15 2011]], 4738 days later Bun-bun and Zoe are in the same spot they first met with the same dialog. Also a rare PetTheDog moment for Bun-bun

%%* [[http://www.th3rdworld.com/web-comic/Holiday-Wars/episode/Holiday-Wars-Episode-50 In this strip]] of ''Webcomic/HolidayWars'', UsefulNotes/LaborDay makes a reference to some sort event that happened ten years ago in Venice. It's the first time in the webcomic that really hints that there is a large history between all the main characters.
* ''Webcomic/{{Concerned}}'' has a lot of these. In one strip Frohman find out he can use the force (that's what he said) to pick stuff up. For most of the rest of the comic, whenever he holds something it floats in front of him.

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''

** V's raven familiar fails to recognize her/him when s/he is transformed into a lizard. [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0714.html 536 strips later]], he learns of his mistake.
** In an [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0084.html early strip]], Durkon lectures Hilgya on dwarves, misery, and duty, telling her how his mother taught him to take feelings like love "and bury them inna a deep dark part o' my soul and nev'r ev'r talk about 'em again." ''[[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1129.html over a thousand strips later]]'', we see his mother teaching him just this lesson, and the circumstances of said lesson.
** An early strip has a brief intermission gag about movie theater snacks killing each other. A decade later, it turns out that not only do said living movie theater snacks exist in (the past of) the main continuity of the comic, but their existence is a clue to one of the comic's bigger plot revelations about the nature of the setting.
* ''Webcomic/ItsWalky'' celebrated its tenth anniversary (and the birth of a new character) with a Call Back to its first two strips.

* ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'', [[http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c56/p24.html This]] [[ContinuityNod most definitely shows]] Justin remembers [[http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c33/p1.html David]].

* In ''Webcomic/FiveColorControl'', Vlad and Dave's match in the Pro Tour intentionally mirrors their earlier games from earlier comics.
* In ''Webcomic/GeneralProtectionFault'', after Trent sues Fred for libel, Fooker proposes breaking into his house again, like they did to clear Trudy's name. Nick, however, refuses and points out that it [[CerebusRetcon comes off in a new light now that they know he's a secret agent]]. The "To Thine Own Self" arc is based around a universe in which an alternate universe's Nick and Ki enacted a scheme their prime counterparts dreamed about in a brief arc in the early comic and took over the world.

* The most recent, and furthest one in ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'': [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/0p1/ The McNinja Burger]] [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/23p32-2/ is back]]! Complete with FlatWhat.

* ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'': Overlooking all the {{Running Gag}}s, in an early strip Bob agrees to a suicidal plan with the phrase "Sure, why not, I was tired of living anyway." Fast-forward several years, and Alternate Mega Man and Bass cheerfully use the exact same justification for an equally suicidal plan. (Naturally, this being ''Bob And George'', certain death...isn't as certain as you'd expect.)
* ''Webcomic/KarinDou4koma'': Seren makes a lighthearted promise to Mifi to let her meet Seren's captive demon lord; 88 pages and almost 2 years later, she finally does.

%%* ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'': [[http://skin-horse.com/comic/todays-comic-869/ This strip]] calls back to a previous occurrence of {{Fanservice}}.
* ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' and its {{spinoff}}s, ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'' and ''Webcomic/SandraOnTheRocks'', feature a fair number of callbacks, most obviously in the BookEnds that begin and end each 150-strip volume. Sometimes, there are even callbacks from one comic to another, as when Dillon's throwaway boast in ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' about having seduced 27 straight men away from their girlfriends is repeated in ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'', but challenged as morally dubious by Ruby on the second occasion (and Dillon's excuse is ''another'' callback). Similarly, after Gary hands his [[PornStash stash of Amber-Amber porn]] over to Amber in ''Webcomic/MenageA3'', it's still there to be embarrassingly discovered by Ruby in ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns''.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Buttersafe}}'''s [[http://buttersafe.com/2009/06/30/the-space-dog/ "The Space Dog"]], references to previous space comics appear in the background as the dog moves through space: [[http://buttersafe.com/2008/02/07/space-in-the-year-2150/ a spaceman traveling with a pig]], [[http://buttersafe.com/2009/05/19/saddest-turtle-goes-to-the-moon/ Saddest Turtle and Jolly Octopus on the moon]], and [[http://buttersafe.com/2007/10/23/the-moon/ a guy next to a eucalyptus tree, also on the moon]].
* In ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids'', [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/1302.html Episode 1302: How Many Paths Must a Man Walk Down?]] has Yoda telling Luke that he has only taken two steps on the Path to the Light Side. Earlier scenes from the ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' story arc are then shown -- I.E. [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/1237.html Episode 1237: Passing Similarities]] (where Luke expresses empathy, the opposite of fear), and [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/1249.html Episode 1249: Jump Like Nobody's Watching]] (where Luke remains calm, the opposite of anger). In the following strip, [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/1303.html Episode 1303: Speculative Reflectance]], Luke realises that in order to work out the rest of the Path to the Light Side, he needs to know the Path to the Dark Side, which was detailed way back in [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0137.html Episode 137: What Would You Know? You're Just a Puppet]], long before Luke's player joined the game.
* ''Webcomic/ZebraGirl'': At the beginning of the comic, when Sandra realizes she has been turned into a demon, she calls herself a freak. Years later, when she is wondering what she exactly is, someone who had disappeared from the radar delivers this line:
--> '''Mr. Chalk:''' Oh Sandra. You know. You called it on day one. You're a freak.

* ''Webcomic/APettyNuzlockeChallenge'': In the HGSS challenge, while trying to search for any secret in a suspicious store, she finds a sign saying not to remove it because there is a hornet behind it, she immediatly punches it, knowing there is a button behind, because is the exact same signed used to "hide" another secret in the [=LeafGreen=] challenge.

* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': Agatha and Von Zinzer [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20030514 meeting each other.]] And [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080312 again.]]
