* ''SugarBits'' which started off with an interesting premise and a trip to a nightmare world. Things came to a screeching halt once the protagonists meet Licorice and have since been in battle with her forces that, (as of this entry) ''is still going''. Granted this is mostly due to the artist flip-flopping between this and his other comics. But one could cover three story arcs in the time it takes for the characters of this series to strike a blow.

* Those who criticize the premise of ''WorldOfWarcraft'' often cite this. On more than one occasion, the Alliance and Horde have faced enemies that threaten both of them, and instead of working together to end the threat, they bring their pissing matches with them everywhere they go. The fact that both factions are currently lead by a couple of belligerent, warmongering jackasses does not help matters, either.

** The [[FanNickname so-called]] Farmland Saga arc certainly exhibits this. Since the author wanted to separate Thorfinn's life in slavery from his former life as much as possible, the pace is veeeery deliberate, and it takes several chapters for anything significant to happen. Stuff has started happening, however, and the pace has quickened once again.
