History HilariousInHindsight / WebComics

* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': Part of the premise of the comic, which started publication in late 2013, is that Iceland is the first country worldwide to close its borders to prevent entry of ThePlague on its territory. In early 2019, the real Iceland got a small measles outbreak from a non-vaccinated adult visitor. [[https://www.patheos.com/blogs/laughingindisbelief/2019/03/iceland-bans-unvaccinated-visitors/ A satirical article written soon after]] had Iceland react to the event by banning the entry of non-vaccinated visitors.

** Also in Episode 21, Chris says that the "gene-like molecule" that makes a person gay was discovered in June 2015, and scientists developed a [[CureYourGays gay vaccine]] with the help of a time-traveling Chris. In June 2015 in real life, [[{{Irony}} a US Supreme Court ruling legalized gay marriage]].

* Webcomic/{{Sonichu}} mentioned that he had a dream of seeing his creator, Christian Weston Chandler, with long hair in the mirror in one issue. Needless to say, [[http://sonichu.com/cwcki/Tomgirl_Saga this ended up coming true.]] Also, an author's note in Episode 20 says "I would rather suffer a painful gender-change operation than ever be a homo."
** In Issue 9, it is said that the "gene-like molecule" that makes a person gay was discovered in June 2015, and scientists developed a [[CureYourGays gay vaccine]] with the help of a time-traveling Chris. In June 2015 in real life, [[{{Irony}} a US Supreme Court ruling legalized gay marriage]].

* The very existence of the webcomic ''Webcomic/PokemonX'' is much funnier now that the newest Pokémon games have been revealed to be ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY.''

* ''Webcomic/PowerpuffGirlsDoujinshi'' preceded ''Anime/DemashitaPowerpuffGirlsZ''. Better yet, because the former is Filipino-made [[{{Animesque}} Manga-esque]] instead of actual Japanese anime, it is 100% {{Macekre}}-proof. (I'll say it again--ShesAManInJapan ''does not work'' when the anime in question has an American source material!)

** [[http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/82.html Another]] strip parodied the "progression" from Darth Maul's double-bladed lightsaber in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' and Anakin's dual wielding of lightsabers in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'''' with having characters draw quadruple, quintuple and septuple lightsabers...

* Early on ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'', Marten makes a joke about Sven picking up hot lady physicists, to which [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=329 Sven asks if those actually exist]]. Some time later, [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=638 Raven starts making advances at him]]. Fast forward another 900 strips, and Raven has left to go back to school. [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1509 Guess what she's studying?]]

* In a 1998 ''Webcomic/UserFriendly'' cartoon where Irwin ended up in the computer system of the space station Mir, he said at one point "I can barely believe this thing stays up." Two years later, the station was decommissioned, deorbited and burned up in the atmosphere. Now, if anybody had been onboard at the time, this would be a FunnyAneurysmMoment, but as nobody was...

* ''Webcomic/CassToons'' as a whole is that much more hilarious now that a DC character has actually attempted to kill Creator/DanDiDio.

* ''[[Webcomic/MetroidThirdDerivative Metroid: Third Derivative]]'' was created well before ''[[VideoGame/MetroidPrime Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'' was originally announced which eventually used some of the elements found in the comic. {{Lampshaded}} by [[WordOfGod Reynard]] in [[http://bobandgeorge.com/comics/metroid/411/1 a filler]].

* ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'' mentioned that he had a dream of seeing his creator, Christian Weston Chandler, with long hair in the mirror in one issue. Needless to say, [[http://sonichu.com/cwcki/Tomgirl_Saga this ended up coming true.]] Also, an author's note in Episode 20 says "I would rather suffer a painful gender-change operation than ever be a homo."

** [[https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2011/11/02 Their somewhat out-of-left-field reaction]] to ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'' is way funnier now that Bubsy is not only getting a new game, but Sonic's own official Twitter account [[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/872946127296897024 reacted to]] [[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/872989607394025472 the news]].

* ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'': compare [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2002/06/21 this strip]] and [[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/6295138.stm this actual news article.]]

* In an early storyline of ''Webcomic/LsEmpire'' one of the main characters was hypnotized into watching ''Franchise/MyLittlePony''. Aside from the fact that this was a little over a year before ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' came out, one of the authors is a brony.

* ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'' mentioned that he had a dream of seeing his creator, Christian Weston Chandler, with long hair in the mirror in one issue. Needless to say, [[http://sonichu.com/cwcki/Tomgirl_Saga this ended up coming true.]]

* [[http://wulffmorgenthaler.com/2004/10/18/ This]] ''{{Wulffmorgenthaler}}'' strip will never be the same again after Music/RebeccaBlack's ''Music/{{Friday}}''.

** Also, in the ''Sonichu'' sub-episodes (a series of LifeEmbellished stories about the life of its creator), true love is supposedly illegal in Virginia because "Virginia is for Virgins". In 2013, [[http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2013/07/18/ken_cuccinelli_the_republican_candidate_for_governor_in_virginia_wants_to.html Virginia Republican gubernational candidate Ken Cuccinelli's platform included making oral and anal sex illegal]].

* [[http://axecop.com/index.php/acepisodes/read/episode_3/ One issue of]] ''Webcomic/AxeCop'' has Axe Cop [[VideoGame/{{Portal 2}} burn Telescope Gun Cop's lab down with lemon grenades.]]
** [[http://axecop.com/index.php/acask/read/ask_axe_cop_46/ This "Ask Axe Cop"]] strip mentions Red Bull and jumping (into) space in the space of a few panels.
