Title Drop/Web Comics

"Sometimes you feel like you are trapped in this room. Stuck, if you will, in a sense which possibly borders on the titular."
 * Twenty years in, and Pete Abrams still hasn't revealed just what "Sluggy Freelance" actually means. That hasn't, however, stopped him from dropping one of the two words without the other here and there like delicious, fan-baiting sprinkles.
 * Parodied in this Dinosaur Comics comic.
 * This one advocates ending everything ever with a title drop. It actually works pretty well.
 * Appears in The Adventures of Dr. McNinja here, to mark the strip's transition to full color.
 * Chapter titles often get dropped as well in a visual gag, as in "Punch Dracula" (guess what the good doctor finds himself forced to do?) and "Revenge of the Hundred Dead Ninja" (appears on a theater marquee at the beginning of the strip)
 * Used in one of the first Schlock Mercenary strips. The name has not been used since.
 * Until it was used as the name of the cartoon Show Within a Show about the Toughs.
 * Then when the narrator mentions it here.
 * Titles of specific books more often than not are dropped within. E.g. Resident Mad Scientist (Book 6) is dropped here and Massively Parallel (Book 11) here (minor spoilers).
 * The last two words of Better Days were...well, just that.
 * It was the worst case of Chopping Block he'd ever endured.
 * Awkward Zombie has a veeeeeeery subtle one here.
 * Books Don't Work Here does this here. in the second chapter.
 * El Goonish Shive lampshaded this by featuring a goon in one comic for this exact reason.
 * In Least I Could Do, John does this and gets bitchslapped by the creator.
 * Something Happens appears in the introductory strip and the final strip of book one. Not that Something couldn't Happen more often.
 * Subverted in Shortpacked!, making reference to "Roomies!" when the main characters share a house.
 * And inverted in a strip where Amber's counterpart describes Shortpacked's bizarro twin store McAwesome's as "overstocked on happiness!"
 * The "Trying Human Chip" in the comic Trying Human
 * "I gots me some Mob Ties!"
 * Happens on Last Res0rt a couple of times.
 * Referenced in Homestuck:

""Of all the places for Rose to drop the infernal thing. More than ever you feel...what's the word you're looking for?" "Of course. Housetrapped.""
 * Teased again when examining the Cruxtruder early in Act II

"Rikk: People might call us crazy, and once in awhile me might almost belive them. But we're used to that. We're Fans."
 * The titles of Homestuck's acts are all dropped with the exceptions of Act 4 and Intermission 2 (which doesn't even have any text, as it consists only of a single flash). Act 6 Act 1's can be found in a walkaround flash in Act 5 Act 2 as part of an item description, but is not dropped within the act itself.
 * No Need for Bushido does this at least twice, once very early in the comic and once a hundred or so strips in.
 * Hark! A Vagrant does this here.
 * Boobs Ahoy! pulls one here. The only surprise is that it took this long.
 * Guess what? It happened a lot sooner than you think.
 * Super Effective: CHARMANDER used METAL CLAW! IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!
 * In Harkovast this happens on the very first page and again here.
 * In Second Empire, a Doctor Who comic centered on the Daleks, a multi-page exchange between two Dalek characters incorporates practically every episode title of Dalek-centric stories from Doctor Who. For a Title Drop, it's about as subtle as being hit upside the head with a bag of hammers, but Second Empire holds its tongue very much in cheek.
 * Moon Over June does it here. Lampshaded.
 * Parodied, along with so many other things, in I Was Kidnapped by Lesbian Pirates from Outer Space. Once an Episode the main character informs someone, sometimes herself, that she has been kidnapped and by whom.
 * Fans occasionally dropped their title into the story, notably in this strip toward the end of their first Grand Finale, before the Revival;


 * A Complete Waste of Time does this so often, and in response to events which are, well, a complete waste of time, that it's become something of a Running Gag.
 * Cyanide & Happiness: "What's it made out of?"
 * Hanna Is Not a Boy's Name gets this in the second strip (which runs continually from the first), when the narrator first meets Hanna.
 * Done on Plus EV here.
 * It took eighteen years, but Girl Genius finally got a title drop in the main storyline in June 2020.
