* ''Webcomic/ThirtySomethingWolf'': In the second panel of one strip, Zephyri is seen flipping the bird towards a character representing Society, against the latter's wishes that she "needs to like girly things" that don't involve having actual girlfriends.

* ''Webcomic/SWAPEnsemble'': During Trudy and Vincent's argument in Day 6, Trudy lifts a finger while the rest of her hand is out of frame. Context alone would explain which finger she's using, but a shot of her whole hand reveals that only her middle finger has the same colored nail as the isolated finger.

* ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'': Black Mage does this [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2005/06/09/episode-561-making-an-example/ two pages]] [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2005/06/11/episode-562-happy-landings/ in a row]] while suffering from taffy-related lung trauma.
* Used twice in ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'', once as Ben Franklin [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/4p29 commits a]] [[PerfectlyCromulentWord Dukeicide]][[note]][[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/4p30 According to an old law]], if Ben Franklin tells you to '''[[SymbolSwearing FLARN!]]''', then you're a duke[[/note]], and once by the good doctor himself, after he [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/11p49 surfed a robo-Dracula down from the moon.]]
* ''Webcomic/AmericanBarbarian'' ends with the titular hero giving Two-Tank Omen the middle finger as they both die.
* [[http://www.gocomics.com/basicinstructions/2009/11/26/ This]] ''Webcomic/BasicInstructions'' strip.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Blip}}'', as K is considering what picture to use for her myspace profile, she realizes that every digital photo she has involves her flipping off the camera. Even the picture where she's nearly unconscious. [[http://blip.rampagenetwork.com/23/ "Why am I giving the finger all the time?"]]
* ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'': Lucy has become [[http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c54/p9.html fond of it]] [[http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c63/p7.html of late.]]
* Apple flips off Sony in [[http://consolers.webcomic.ws/comics/pl/504700 this]] ''Webcomic/{{Consolers}}'' strip after hearing him accuse his games of "not being real games".
** [[HighlyVisibleNinja Tecmo]] [[http://consolers.webcomic.ws/comics/pl/621266 does this to Namco]] several times as part of his revenge declaration.
* [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2006-09-25 This]] ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'' strip, done by Rocky the Elemental. Slightly justified in that he can't speak and communicates through gestures.
** Later, when Stunt badmouths him when he thinks he's not around, Rocky shoves a single arm up through the soil. Guess the gesture.
* In ''Webcomic/DresdenCodak'', this is Kimiko's [[http://dresdencodak.com/2008/10/02/epilogue-2/ reaction]] when she wakes up in her hospital bed and sees her DisappearedDad for the first time in many years.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'', Kiel'ndia gives [[EldritchAbomination Khaless]] [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8878 both barrels at once]] to show that she's [[ShutUpHannibal less than impressed]] by her [[BreakThemByTalking Breaking Speech]]. Two pages later [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8887 her demon friends respond in turn]] (which, given how they represent the fans, proved to be an accurate depiction of the forum response).
* In ''Webcomic/DumbingOfAge'', when Carla's RubeGoldbergDevice for revenge on Mary successfully delivers a PieInTheFace and Carla's own name in lasers (because "the one thing that angers you more than anything in the world is that I ''exist''"), she [[http://www.dumbingofage.com/2016/comic/book-6/03-when-god-closes-the-door/carla/ tops it off]] with double birds.
* In [[http://www.egscomics.com/sketchbook.php?id=151 this]] ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' sketchbook strip, Ellen does it in order to demonstrate how {{pixelation}} of just the finger is [[BleepDammit ineffective]].
* In [[https://www.gocomics.com/endtown/2012/07/24 this]] ''Webcomic/{{Endtown}}'' strip, Aaron Marx gives a double British version to [[spoiler:an approaching team of enemy Topsiders while helping other characters escape]].
* Implied in ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'' to be [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff500/fv00475.htm what everyone does]] when they "interact" with Sam. That, and hiding their wallets.
* [[http://www.kenzerco.com/images/periodicals/TTC/phpslideshow.php?directory=.¤tPic=0 This]] ''Webcomic/FuzzyKnights'' strip (click to page through it), which was posted as a response to the 2005 terrorist bombings on the London Underground and made rather appropriate reference to the origin myth.
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': [[NoFourthWall Confusingly]], John flips off ''the audience'' at one point when WV's enthusiastic commands become increasingly rude.
** Much later, in his "talk" with Meenah Peixes, Kurloz Makara, who has so far not said a single word or made a single other gesture, flips her the bird when she asks what the "wicked word is these days."
** Damara Megido has a special sprite animation for flipping the bird with each hand.
** [[spoiler:Erisolsprite]] does this during the Act 6 Part 5 opener. Jake English doesn't seem offended at all.
* Used several times in ''Webcomic/{{Loserz}}'', like [[http://the-qlc.com/loserz/go/2 here]] and [[http://the-qlc.com/loserz/go/155 here]].
* ''Mall Monkeys'' had one strip which was three identical panels of Eric giving these followed by the message "''Mall Monkeys'' will resume a frequently updated schedule very shortly."[[note]]According to commentary by Keith Smith on the CD-ROM, it was at this point that creator Eric Drobile had "no desire" to continue on with the webcomic; the site's last strip was just two months (and ''eleven'' strips) later in February 2004.[[/note]]
* Emily is quick to flip off Ash when they first meet in ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}''.
** We learn later on that this is quite out of character for her. However, she was having a bad day.
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
** Vaarsuvius uses the spell "Bugsby's Expressive Single Digit" to flip off Qarr off-panel.
** And Xykon's "Hey, I just grew back a finger. Guess which one."
** Also, Illusory Belkar combines this with a NarrativeProfanityFilter: "Forceful assertion of open resentment toward authority. Please view accompanying hand gesture."
** The real Belkar finally gets to do it off screen to Roy and Elan.
--->'''Roy:''' Is he flipping me off as he floats gently down to the ground?\\
'''Elan:''' Belkar, that's the wrong kind of bird! That one can't fly!
* ''Webcomic/{{Outsider}}'': [[https://well-of-souls.com/outsider/outsider203.html As the Loroi are preparing for a possible boarding action by their archenemies]], Fireblade gives Jardin the EyeAmWatchingYou gesture, to which Jardin responds by flipping her off.
* The PokeThePoodle page caption features Tycho from ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' doing this at a box of kittens.
* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'':
** After taking an arm from the Creeth Ambassador...
--->'''Ennesby:''' I learned [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2000-07-31 this one]] from a documentary about twentieth-century traffic signals.\\
''[a CENSORED sign is seen over the hand]''
** Kevyn responds, thusly...
--->'''Kevyn:''' I believe my line here would be "Is that your age or your IQ?"
** And it gets [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2000-08-02 implied later!]]
* Rhea from ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'' lets Buwaro know [[http://www.sdamned.com/2006/04/04062006/ she isn't interested in what he has to say]].
* ''Webcomic/StickInTheMud'': Rod has a shirt that displays a hand doing this.
* ''Webcomic/UserFriendly''. "Can you count on your fingers in binary? Then I send you a 'four'." [[note]]with finger down for 0 and finger up for 1, four in binary = 00100. The double, incidentally, would be 132[[/note]]
* Leo receives [[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=312 two]] in ''WebComic/VGCats'' when he confronts Creator/BioWare about the DLC and ending of the ''Franchise/MassEffect'' series.
* [[IntellectualAnimal Dietzel]], of ''Webcomic/WapsiSquare'', apparently [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/10172001/ knows this one]], too. Let's just say he isn't amused by TimmyInAWell jokes. Like the Garfield example above, it occurs "off-screen".
* In ''Webcomic/YokokasQuest'', Mao flips off Yokoka, with a CensorBox over his middle finger, in a [[FourthWallMailSlot Q&A strip]].
* Mentioned in ''Webcomic/YouDamnKid'', in which the narrator thinks it's unfair that Dot's friend Sadako was punished for doing this. Sadako has six fingers on each hand, so the finger she raised technically wasn't her middle finger "and therefore not a bad finger".
