* ''Webcomic/OneOverZero'': Junior is focused on in the last panel [[http://www.undefined.net/1/0/?strip=616 beginning in this strip]] and [[http://www.undefined.net/1/0/?strip=625 ending in this one]], annoying the living hell out of him and cutting off the rest of the character's conversations.
%%* Lampshaded, then avoided in the alt text of [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/14p33 this]] ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'' strip.
%%* [[http://catandgirl.com/?p=2035 This]] ''Cat and Girl'' strip.
%%* [[http://www.explosm.net/comics/1323/ This]] ''Webcomic/CyanideAndHappiness'' strip.
%%** [[http://www.explosm.net/comics/2030/ This]] strip also qualifies. They did subtle enough changes that you could animate that damn thing. Scroll click with the correct speed might do it!
* ''Webcomic/DragonBallMultiverse'': Almost turned into an arc with the whole [[ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight monster under the bed]] thing.

%%* [[http://notalwaysright-notalwaysreal.webcomic.ws/comics/18/ This entire story]] from ''Webcomic/NotAlwaysRightNotAlwaysReal'' is one.
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', when Roy goes [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0136.html shopping]]. That scene is actually a spoof of the classic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3KBuQHHKx0 Monty Python cheese shop sketch]], which some may argue is, in itself, an Overly Long Gag.
* The ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' strip [[http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/11/03 "Perhaps Slightly Exaggerated"]] contains ''four whole panels'' of [[VomitIndiscretionShot Gabe puking]].

%%* [[http://a-comics.ru/comics/rotty/0 Rotty the Motionless Corpse]].

* In ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'', Dr. Viennason [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/20050210 explains]] the dimension of timeless space by illustrating what happens when you run out of time supplies. By standing perfectly still for thirteen panels. Although he breaks it to surreptitiously glance at the camera if you look carefully in the tenth panel. Also in Sluggy, sixteen panels drive home the pun in a [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=010715 Gofotron]] battle with a sledgehammer.
%%* {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in ''[[Webcomic/{{Mezzacotta}} Square Root of Minus Garfield]]'' [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=139 here]].
