History GetAHoldOfYourselfMan / Webcomics

** While everyone is understandably wallowing in [[DespairEventHorizon despair]] after the events of [[WhamEpisode [S]]][[DarkestHour GAME]] [[KillEmAll OVER]], Terezi, who at this point is bleeding to death, flies over to John, crashes in front of him, walks out of the crater and still has enough strength to ''headbutt him hard enough to break his nose''.

* ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'':
** Shinae not just slaps, but punches Kiel'ndia out of a hysterical fit [[spoiler:over the demon-transformation of Naal'suul]].
** Much earlier, Nihi'liir slaps Faen after she starts to panic on the way to the [[RedEyesTakeWarning tainting]] ceremony and quickly finds out why this is [[BewareTheNiceOnes not a good idea]] when dealing with TheEmpath who has PowerIncontinence. She loses an arm while their teacher, who steps in to break it up, winds up ''brain dead''.
* Parodied beautifully in ''[[http://www.biggercheese.com/index.php?comic=505 Bigger Than Cheeses]]''.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Juathuur}}'', [[spoiler: father figure Arvval slaps Faevv when he learns she strayed from the way. This allows him to influence her for... about ten minutes.]]
* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Melissa did this to ''herself'' when her delusions about Justin were getting out of control and even references ''Series/{{Mythbusters}}'' involvement with this trope.

* Laura in ''Webcomic/{{Collar 6}}'' administers a much-needed love tap to her Mistress when Sixx indulges in a bit of {{Wangst}}ing, followed by an equally well-deserved verbal slap. It ultimately comes across as heartwarming.

* When Greg of ''Webcomic/RealLifeComics'' got into the 'zone' and lost his connection to reality, Dave tried to [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/000203.html slap him out of it]]. It worked for a couple of seconds.

* ''Webcomic/{{Magellan}}'': This line is used to get Charisma out of [[http://magellanverse.com/?p=525 future shock]].
* In ''Webcomic/CommanderKitty'', [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2011/04/17/mind-games/ Freeda nearly shouts Ace's head off once he falls into his]] TenMinuteRetirement. It doesn't help.

* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'': When Annie's part-time SinkOrSwimMentor Ysengrin sees [[https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1576 how badly]] she's been affected by [[spoiler:her father's return]], he breaks the EmotionControl effect she'd put on herself, [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre reminds her of her own strengths]], and [[https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1580 tells her]] in no uncertain terms that she's capable of managing the situation. It's not ''constructive'', but does [[CuttingTheKnot cut the knot]] on her most immediate problems.
-->'''Ysengrin:''' If he truly does hurt you, I will rend the flesh from his bones on your word. But for now... do the job you have promised.
