* A few nations in Webcomic/{{Polandball}} have features on their flag/self commonly modified between frames for comedy, such as replacing the words on Brazil or the expression of Argentina's sun.* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'': One of the bullies who made a brief appearance had a 'Current Expression Smiley' T-shirt, which apparently mirrored whatever his present facial expression happened to be. It was only visible in one panel, though, which somewhat undermines the point.

* When Howard Tayler, the writer and artist of ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'', appears in one of the arcs as a sort of {{Psychopomp}} for the currently-dead Commander Andreyasn, he wears a Schlock T-shirt with [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20060901.html an ever-changing expression]]. It does not match Howard's own expression, however, but rather reacts to what's being said and done.

* A non-shirt example in the early seasons of ''Anime/SailorMoon'', which shows an awkward attempt at PlayingHardToGet from Rei when she's talking to Yuuchirou in the high street. The two of them stand in front of advertising posters as they talk, and the slogans on the posters change to the characters' inner thoughts, and the models on the posters change their facial expressions to echo their reactions. The poster behind Rei manages to go from a tiny enchanted smile, to an appalled jaw drop within the second exchange.
