* Marvel is also infamous for its overuse of the "[[YouAreTheTranslatedForeignWord Midgard = Earth]]" caption whenever Thor is in a comic. Many have asked why not just translate it into Earth then, or why make that note when people can just Google it these days. Nevertheless, they have kept doing it, with at least one case reading "Earth, because we're [[RunningGag obligated to do this]] in every comic ComicBook/{{Thor}} appears in."

* Used a lot in the Archie ''[[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics Sonic]]'' and ''ComicBook/MegaManArchieComics'' comics, even using it as a method of {{MST}} in some parts. One in ''Mega Man'' #13 doubled as ProductPlacement for an upcoming graphic novel of the previous arc, which was due in several months after that issue's release. Another in ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' #252 had the Ed. about to point out in which issue an event that [[spoiler:''never happened before'' took place before going "Wait a minute...", realizing the scale of the CosmicRetcon that rewrote Sonic's world at the end of ''Comicbook/SonicTheHedgehogMegaManWorldsCollide''.]]

Can also be used for a joke in an article, in which case it's NoteFromEd.

If you're reading a webcomic, the AltText may double as this.

Not to be confused with the (slightly) more literary NoteFromEd.

Not to be confused with a Signal from Fred (an EvilTwin of LampshadeHanging identified in the Website/TurkeyCityLexicon) or the (slightly) more literary NoteFromEd.

* ''ComicBook/PatsyWalkerAKAHellcat'' has it frequently given its reliance on {{Continuity Nod}}s, specially to Hellcat's tenure in Comicbook/TheDefenders in the 1970s. And given it's a comedic title, more often than not the thing mentioned is so weird that it warrants a NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer.
