* ''Webcomic/ScaryGoRound'' introduced [[http://www.scarygoround.com/?date=20150422 Ben Bishop]], founder of Zambian Computing. His and his company's history seems an awful lot like that of Creator/SteveJobs and Apple. (His company -- with rainbow logo -- is revolutionary in the 80s; in the 90s he leaves the company for unspecified reasons, but returns to roll out an all-in-one computer; in the present day, his company -- now with a pure-silver logo -- has computers, tablets, phones, and "more money than any company on earth".)
* ''Solver'', a Webcomic/{{Bobbinsverse}} comic, features The Waterman, a pop impresario who isn't actually ''stated'' to be pop impresario [[Music/StockAitkenWaterman Pete Waterman]].

* Queen Mab, Oberon and David Weddell in ''Webcomic/Realmwalker'' are obviously supposed to respectively be (Music/Bjork), (Music/David Bowie)/(Music/Prince), and (Actor/David Tennant).

* The titular character of ''Webcomic/KingOfTheUnknown'' is clearly Elvis, though he is never named as such. Ever since a supernatural mishap transformed him (into a fat slob) and forced him to [[ElvisLives fake his death]], "the King" dedicated his new secret life to kicking supernatural ass for a TheMenInBlack-like GovernmentAgencyOfFiction known as the IRSU. Agent H, King's MissionControl at IRSU, is a similarly veiled and still-living Music/JimiHendrix. Aside from the broad strokes, many small details are culled from the rock stars' lives to create these just-barely veiled versions.
* ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup'': Possibly unintentional on the artist's part but Commander Kickass looks like Creator/JackKirby.
* ''Webcomic/{{Monsterful}}'' has two celebrity posters, a parody of Lady Gaga as a vampire named [[http://www.monsterful.com/chapter08page17.html Lady BatBat]], and a possible parody of Shakira as a werewolf named [[http://www.monsterful.com/chapter10page07.html Wolfira.]]
* [[http://kewlfilez.altervista.org/avventuredarth24.gif Jedi Springar]] of ''Webcomic/LeAvventureDelGrandeDarthVader'' is a lightsaber-wielding Jerry Springer.
* In ''Webcomic/OurLittleAdventure'', a group that Julie needs to talk to in order to get the [[PlotCoupon item she needs]] are fantasy counterparts to the original judges of Series/AmericanIdol
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', amidst mentions of actual celebrities:
** Colonel Sassacre is clearly just Creator/MarkTwain wearing a wizard hat. A semi-hidden backstory draft that was on the Skaianet Systems website later revealed that they are, in fact, the same person, with Sassacre being one of Twain's aliases.
** Rufioh's speech is patterned quite closely after that of Creator/DanteBasco's Tumblr account following Homestuck, and the character is both based on and named after a character Creator/DanteBasco played in ''Film/{{Hook}}''. Andrew Hussie's AuthorAvatar confesses the former in an EasterEgg on the flash where Rufioh is introduced.

* One ''Webcomic/{{Keiki}}'' comic had Beefer join a website populated by such comedic reviewers as [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic Nostalgia Nerd]], [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Blinkara]], [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Snoopy]], and [[WebVideo/MarzGurl Mercury Gal]].

* ''Webcomic/{{Educomix}}'' has [[Creator/StephenHawking Stephen the Hawk King]], Music/{{Justin|Bieber}} [[{{Pun}} Beaver]], [[UsefulNotes/BarackObama President X]], and Rick Motney.

* Sora from Webcomic/{{Consolers}} is pretty much company founder Creator/MasahiroSakurai.
* ''Webcomic/LeifAndThorn'' features an author of a popular children's fantasy series, who bears more than a little resemblance to Creator/JKRowling.
* ''Webcomic/CurseQuest'' The Owl Hunter looks eerily similar to Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter, right down to the accent that's implied and his shorts. The Owl Hunter tracks down ulvorn instead of crocodiles and acts like a parody of the original.
* ''Webcomic/HeroineChic'' has famous fashion designer Arpaya Servachi and her murdered brother, Geno Servachi: thinly-veiled references to Donatella and Gianni Versace.
* ''Webcomic/SamAndFuzzy'' has a slew of these introduced in the "Return of the King" arc, where it turns out the music industry has been [[FakingTheDead faking the deaths]] of successful artists on the verge of a CareerKiller, and shipping them to a remote island [[DeadArtistsAreBetter where they can be kept to produce 'unreleased singles' still unfinished at time of their 'deaths']] instead. Of the ones visible are "[[ElvisLives Elton Priestly]]" (Music/ElvisPresley) "Curtis Cutter" (Music/KurtCobain), "Christy Spelling" (Music/ChristinaAguilera or Music/BritneySpears) and "Big Pimping G Moneydogg" (Music/TheNotoriousBIG or Music/TupacShakur).

* Steve in ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'' seems to be Steve Irwin from ''Series/CrocodileHunter'', but WordOfGod insists that these are not the same person. The annotation under [[http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/1288.html #1288]] says that the comic Steve 'might perhaps be somewhat loosely based on' Steve Irwin, 'if you believe the unrestrained hearsay and rampant speculation of some readers.' The rerun commentary for [[http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/7.html #7]] provides a SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: 'Steve and Terry are of course not even slightly based on the real life Steve and Terri Irwin... The fact that "Terry" is spelt differently to "Terri" should absolutely and beyond a doubt confirm that in the minds of any lingering doubters, as it's clearly not a case of me making a mistake in a badly botched attempt to copy her name. '

* ''Webcomic/SamAndFuzzy'' has a slew of these introduced in the "Return of the King" arc, where it turns out the music industry have been 'killing off' successful artists who were on the verge of releasing a CareerKiller and shipping them to a remote island [[DeadArtistsAreBetter where they can be kept to produce 'rare, unreleased singles' still unfinished at time of their 'deaths']] instead. Of the ones visible are "[[ElvisLives Elton Priestly]]" (Music/ElvisPresley) "Curtis Cutter" (Music/KurtCobain), "Christy Spelling" (Music/ChristinaAguilera or Music/BritneySpears) and "Big Pimping G Moneydogg" (Music/TheNotoriousBIG or Music/TupacShakur).
