* ''Webcomic/{{Alfie}}'': The beginning of Chapter 12 has a rather heartwarming flashback where Vera Tolman reassures her young daughter Alphanea that the whispers and bullying she receives from the inhabitants of their hometown are not really aimed at her, but fallout from the hostility directed at Vera herself for a number of reasons; ending with the words "... such a good girl! Everybody loves you." The denouement at the end of the chapter makes it clear how much Alfie, now a woman grown and on a trade caravan well on it's way to the Kingdoms of Men after a painful falling out with her mother, has internalized the unspoken (and to Vera's credit, unintended) corollary that if it [[CovertPervert becomes known that]] she is ''not'' a "good girl" she will receive the full level of hatred Vera endured for all of Alfie's lifetime. Her unreasoning terror of that fate, or to be more precise her frantic attempt to avoid it, not only estranges her from two of the very few sincere friends she has ever had ("benefits" are involved, [[PornWithPlot as it is that sort of webcomic]], however the friendship is real) but scuttles [[LadykillerInLove the tentative beginnings of an actual romantic relationship]].

* Due to a severe case of CerebusSyndrome, ''Webcomic/CollegeRoomiesFromHell'' is chock full of these. A few examples:
** An early running gag has Roger vehemently deny being a werecoyote, despite the fact that nobody accused him of being one. By the time he reveals that he is one, the strip's taken a dark enough turn that a terrible bloodlust, to which his mother has already succumbed, is a major plot point.
** Another early story has April and Roger get possessed by ghosts inhabiting a television set and a hairdryer, respectively, to do battle. Later stories show that Roger is particularly vulnerable to possession by Satan in his werecoyote form, and April's gradual progression to {{Yandere}} and eventually ManipulativeBastard is implied to be at least partially due to Satanic influence.
** The king of them all, however, is in the earliest storyline of note: A paranoid Marsha stabs Mike, hospitalizing him. Immediately afterward, she blames April, because "Miss Wimpy didn't want any bloodstains on her wimpy clothes!" It's OnlyAFleshWound, and Mike (a consummate ManipulativeBastard) recovers perfectly, then leverages Marsha's guilt to start off their relationship. In a much later storyline, Mike is [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]] when April, following an argument with Marsha about her relationship with Mike, [[spoiler:fatally stabs him]].

* [[http://www.bugmartini.com/comic/bucket-list/ This comic]] of ''Webcomic/BugMartini'' talked about attacking Paris; it became a lot less funny in 2015 after the Chariie Hebdo shootings that January and even less funny after the much deadlier attacks ten months later.
* Due to a severe case of CerebusSyndrome, ''Webcomic/CollegeRoomiesFromHell'' is chock full of these. A few examples:
** An early running gag has Roger vehemently deny being a werecoyote, despite the fact that nobody accused him of being one. By the time he reveals that he is one, the strip's taken a dark enough turn that a terrible bloodlust, to which his mother has already succumbed, is a major plot point.
** Another early story has April and Roger get possessed by ghosts inhabiting a television set and a hairdryer, respectively, to do battle. Later stories show that Roger is particularly vulnerable to possession by Satan in his werecoyote form, and April's gradual progression to {{Yandere}} and eventually ManipulativeBastard is implied to be at least partially due to Satanic influence.
** The king of them all, however, is in the earliest storyline of note: A paranoid Marsha stabs Mike, hospitalizing him. Immediately afterward, she blames April, because "Miss Wimpy didn't want any bloodstains on her wimpy clothes!" It's OnlyAFleshWound, and Mike (a consummate ManipulativeBastard) recovers perfectly, then leverages Marsha's guilt to start off their relationship. In a much later storyline, Mike is [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]] when April, following an argument with Marsha about her relationship with Mike, [[spoiler:fatally stabs him]].
* ''Webcomic/{{Consolers}}'':
** [[http://consolers.webcomic.ws/comics/44/ In this]] comic, Nintendo mentions how she's told investors a million times that she's NOT interested in making iOS games and asks them to stop asking her about it. [[http://www.polygon.com/2015/3/17/8230521/nintendo-mobile-games-development-dena-ios Some weeks later...]]
** One of [[http://consolers.webcomic.ws/comics/pl/406849 Nintendo's terrible advice "spam mails"]] says to "replace [her] boss", referring of course to Nintendo's CEO and president at the time, Satoru Iwata, who was often critizised by analysts and investors. After Iwata's death in 2015, suddenly this became a lot less funny...
* A ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel'' Silly strips made [[http://www.cad-comic.com/sillies/20081215 this]] joke at the end of 2008, about Death needing to "break his record" of famous-people deaths in 2009. He managed.

After the WAR! propaganda contest on the [[http://www.teamfortress.com/ official TF2 blog]], the [[http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=3391 runner-ups]] were announced, and many of them were hilarious, including [[http://www.teamfortress.com/images/posts/runners-up/sticky_bomb_tragedies.jpg this one.]] [[spoiler: Although, the bottom-left poster isn't quite as funny after reading [[http://tf2.skyscrapersoup.com/?p=202 page 86]]]] ...Yeah.

* In an ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow'' strip, [[{{Jerkass}} Lothar]] theorizes that Australian entertainer Rolf Harris is actually a pedophile based on his mannerisms and elements of his show. Eastwood reacts furiously and storms off in disgust, calling Harris a "national treasure", with the joke being that only someone as cynical and selfish as Lothar could ever think such a thing. Come 2014 and Harris is arrested for child molestation, meaning Lothar was right all along. To make matters worse, the strip was accompanied by a disclaimer reminding the readers that the opinions of the characters didn't necessarily coincide with the opinions of the authors (despite said characters being self-inserts). Which means presumably they all thought the world of Harris as well until the news came out.

In real life, Abe Vigoda died (of old age) less than a week after the comic was published.
* ''Webcomic/{{Girly}}''. Literally ''everything'' the two heroines go through becomes one big moment when it's revealed that [[spoiler:it was all pre-set up by the villains to prepare one of the heroines to lead their uprising.]]
* ''Webcomic/GoGetARoomie'' has Ramona picking up a guy but not wanting to go through her usual dominatrix routine with him, which has caused some amused comments and discussion, seeing the lengths Ramona has to go to get something as "good, plain vanilla sex". She ends up asking the guy to grab her by the wrists and have rough sex with her in a back alley -- one strip later, a visibly shaken Ramona returns to the bar and confides in her friends that the guy broke down crying in the middle of the act because his mother lived through this very same scenario, only [[RapeAsDrama she was raped]].
* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' When Susan starts to explain the [[NoodleIncident long-unknown]] events that occurred in France, she alludes to the [[spoiler: [[OurVampiresAreDifferent not-vampire]]]] that's involved, when Grace calls her [[spoiler:[[ShoutOut "Susan the Vampire Slayer"]]]].

** When Ellen first finds out that Elliot's improper awakening means that [[ItMakesSenseInContext he'll have to periodically turn into a girl until his magic stabilizes]], she [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2008-11-04 initially finds it hilarious]] and [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2008-11-18 jokes about it]]. When she then [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2008-11-22 learns]] that this is going to be a ''lot'' more inconvenient for Elliot than she'd realized, [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2008-11-26 she feels incredibly ashamed]].
*** [[spoiler: To make it worse, not only is Elliot's improper awakening a direct result of Ellen's creation, her partially magical biology means that her Awakening will be a lot easier to handle than Elliot's.]]
* In ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'':
** Kat's belongings sometimes have the names of bands printed on them. In [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=718 this page]], her shirt reads [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparklehorse Sparklehorse]]. Mark Linkous, who led that band, committed suicide 2 months prior to the page being published. Considering the 30-page buffer kept by the author, it would seem that the page itself was made a few weeks before it happened. It has been confirmed by WordOfGod that this was intended as a tribute.
** After [[https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=217 triggering]] a warning klaxon, Annie quite calmly states that she dislikes alarms. A few chapters later, there's a flashback to when she was much younger and [[spoiler:had to [[https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=350 experience]] a [[UndeadChild ghost child]]'s memories of dying in a house fire, complete with smoke alarms]].
* ''Webcomic/HyperboleAndAHalf'':
** Some of Allie's comical references to feeling miserable about her life and/or having low self-esteem can be kind of {{Tear Jerker}}s in light of her struggle with severe depression. Feel better, Allie!
** Early on, Allie wrote a funny entry threatening her uterus for giving her such painful periods. When Allie revealed on Twitter that she was going to [[http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2009/07/thing-of-day-uterus-rating-not-awesome.html her uterus and one ovary removed due to crippling endometriosis.]]
** A few of the earlier posts mention Allie doesn't shower very often. A common sign of depression is not taking good care of personal hygiene, like putting off showers.
* An ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'' strip involved a character who is [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed obviously not Steve Irwin]] not dying from a fatal snakebite because [[DeathTakesAHoliday Death was on strike]]. It had the annotation, "Oh come on. You all knew Steve wouldn't die." The strip in question came out on ''the exact day of Irwin's death'' (although it was composed some three weeks before). This is [[LampshadeHanging pointed out]] in the annotation.
* This 2002 issue of ''[[http://www.krakowstudios.com/krakow/archive.php?date=20020315 Krapow Original]]''.
* The ''[[http://www.lefthandedtoons.com/361/ 21 November 2008 Left-Handed Toons (by right-handed people)]]'' subverted this trope by undercutting the punchline ''the day it was posted''.
* ''Webcomic/LeftoverSoup'': The CrimeOfSelfDefense storyline was ''in progress'' when George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin.
* ''Webcomic/LilFormers'' having strips poking fun at ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' have become far less enjoyable to read after the sudden death of artist Derrick J. Wyatt in late 2021 at age 42.
* Ryujin, the main deuteragonist of the Webcomic/Manhua UnderPRIN, is usually terrified of women, and [[PlayedForLaughs comically so]]. He even refuses to perform in a girls' college due to this, when singing is the only way for him to earn bread for his son Miryu, which leads to some really hilarious moments between the son and father. This, however, [[spoiler: becomes very tearjerking, horrifying ''and'' disturbing after it's revealed that he was forced to rape his adoptive sister in the past, and by extension he ''himself'' was raped. To elaborate: His mother, the Demon Queen, forcefully fed him the demons' blood, which enabled her to take complete control over his body. She then proceeded to rape his sister ''while he was [[ForcedToWatch conscious during the whole time]]'', unable to do anything because of her absolute control over his body, which means that it wasn't just the sister who was violated, but ''Ryujin '' too. Yes, she, his own mother, ''' [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raped]] ''[[RapeAsDrama both of them]]'' [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil at the same time]]'''. This horribly traumatized both the siblings, destroyed Ryujin's already low self-esteem ''completely'' and was the incident that gave him his gynophobia. After this is revealed, the funny moments related to his gynophobia in the early chapters are no longer funny, but outright tragic.
* ''Webcomic/{{Megatokyo}}'' has [[http://www.megatokyo.com/strip/51 this]] fairly early strip depicting what would happen if Fred worked without Rodney, or vice-versa. Two years later, Rodney stopped contributing to the comic; the old joke strip turned out to be, in many ways, pretty accurate.

It took on a whole new meaning once you realize that without the misfile, [[spoiler:Emily would've died in the same car accident that sent Molly to the hospital.]]

* ''Webcomic/RealLifeComics'':
** [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=title-1940-2 This]] strip, which was posted a while before the unfortunately confirmed rumors of ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'''s cancellation started circulating.
** [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=title-1561 This]] one even more so. Yeah, [[WhoWouldBeStupidEnough what kind of idiot would the banks have to be to give a loan to someone who clearly can't pay it back?]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subprime_mortgage_crisis OH SNAP]].
* Back in 1999, ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' published a [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/1999/11/03/ strip]] about ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever'', which [[HilariousInHindsight became funnier]] with each year of the game's [[{{vaporware}} famously long]] development (which, back then, had only been over two years.) Almost a decade later, its developer [[http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?story=58519 shut down]]. Especially good because the strip more-or-less illustrated ''why'' ''VideoGame/DukeNukem Forever'' didn't come out when it was supposed to, long before anyone outside the production company knew. The company just kept playing around instead of delivering the ''promised'' game to a distributor (the distributor changed midway); by the time they took the deadline seriously (Take-Two was less patient than the previous distributor), they were no longer able to get the money to complete it. Of course, now that the game is ''actually'' coming out ([[http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2010/09/duke-nukem-pax/ and debuted at PAX no less!]]), the strip has changed to a HilariousInHindsight.
* ''Webcomic/{{Roommates}}'' has/had a RunningGag about [[Film/{{Labyrinth}} Jareth]] failing to do good despite his best intentions and efforts... after the [[WhamEpisode Dark!Jareth arc]] that got some pretty heavy subtext.

* Back in 1999, ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' published a [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/1999/11/03/ strip]] about ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever'', which [[HilariousInHindsight became funnier]] with each year of the game's [[{{vaporware}} famously long]] development (which, back then, had only been over two years.) Almost a decade later, its developer [[http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?story=58519 shut down]]. Especially good because the strip more-or-less illustrated ''why'' ''VideoGame/DukeNukem Forever'' didn't come out when it was supposed to, long before anyone outside the production company knew. The company just kept playing around instead of delivering the ''promised'' game to a distributor (the distributor changed midway); by the time they took the deadline seriously (Take-Two was less patient than the previous distributor), they were no longer able to get the money to complete it. Of course, now that the game is ''actually'' coming out ([[http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2010/09/duke-nukem-pax/ and debuted at PAX no less!]]), the strip has changed to a HilariousInHindsight.
* ''Webcomic/{{Roommates}}'' has/had a RunningGag about [[Film/{{Labyrinth}} Jareth]] failing to do good despite his best intentions and efforts... after the [[WhamEpisode Dark!Jareth arc]] that got some pretty heavy subtext. [[spoiler: As a fictional character he can't defy the story and his role in it, doesn't matter how desperately he may try.]]

* ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'': [[http://www.shortpacked.com/2009/comic/book-8/05-the-day-that-shortpacked-fell/previously/#comment-12740 This strip]]. The panel with Amber saying she's pregnant suddenly becomes really disturbing due to [[spoiler: Faz being Amber's (half) brother]].
* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'':
** A demon hunter named Steve Uozin was an obvious CaptainErsatz of Steve Irwin... until he was [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=050219 stabbed through the torso]] in February of 2005. (By a demon rather than a stingray, but still...)
** Five years before that, during a Halloween special, Uozin had been [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=001031 stabbed in the heart]] by a demon's spear. A demon spear that was referred to as a 'squid-on-a-stick', no less...
* [[http://www.asofterworld.com/index.php?id=483 This strip]] of ''Webcomic/ASofterWorld'' illustrates what seems like a rather improbable idea of what causes terrorists to be terrorists. But a later sociological study discovered that many of them don't really care about their cause, and if their mission is actually accomplished they just move on to another extremist group. It concluded that a large proportion really ''are'' [[spoiler:social rejects who can't find friends anywhere else, and are willing to kill for the sake of that bond.]]
* [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=1423 This]] ''Webcomic/SquareRootOfMinusGarfield'' comic shows Jon trying to stop a bomb by frantically blowing on it. Obviously, he fails and it [[AshFace blows up in his face]]. Less than a week later, the Boston Marathon was bombed.
