Shout-Out/Newspaper Comics

"Roger: Maybe we should include the recent past in that statement, too... Andy: I don't know. There's something to be said for nostalgia."
 * FoxTrot had a moment coming at the end of a (week's worth) discussion by Roger and Andy about the success of the Dilbert comic (which might also count as an extended Shout Out]. In the end, they conclude that Dilbert is likely popular simply based on its own merits, meaning that emulation of a current success isn't a particularly good idea. Jason (drawn in a slightly different style) then runs in, telling his parents to check out the cool stuffed tiger he found.

"(The characters are sitting at a campfire) Paige: I miss Brandon and Dylan. Peter: I miss Bart and Homer. Andy: I miss Bryant and Kate. Jason: I miss Worf and Data Roger: (eating the marshmallows) Am I, um, missing something?"
 * FOUR were packed into this strip:


 * The strip made a double reference to My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic and Game of Thrones in the April 1, 2012, strip.
 * At some point, nearly every comic strip (and webcomic) has had a Shout-Out to Peanuts. Too many to list.
 * Forty comic strips did a shout out to Peanuts in one day.
 * Returning the favor, Peanuts has enough Shout-Outs to other works to fill their own page.
 * In Calvin and Hobbes, Hobbes once used Crisco to style Calvin's hair into Astro Boy's pointy-horn-hair. Hobbes points this out, which Calvin (and later Suzie) thinks is awesome.
 * In one Sunday strip, Calvin's parents admire a Krazy Kat comic strip in a museum. If they're not in museums, they should be.
 * The names Calvin and Hobbes are taken from a 16th-century theologian (John Calvin) and a 17th-century philosopher (Thomas Hobbes).
