Media Research Failure/Web Comics

Examples of in  include:


 * Is Oasis lying to Sluggy? As the article is attributed to the author, it has to be parody.
 * Reportedly, one website describing Homestuck early into the comic's run referred to the post-apocalyptic nomad advising John as the Wandering Vagrant. The comic exclusively calls him the Wayward Vagabond
 * A recent NY Daily News article put the trolls as the main characters when describing Homestuck. While minor, long-time fans of the series will skip aprrox 6.12 beats after reading it.
 * There was also a recent article in which the author interviewed a Homestuck cosplayer. When they said that they were cosplaying Eridan Ampora, the interviewer took that to mean that all of the trolls were named Eridan Ampora.
 * This article profiling notable self-sufficient web-cartoonists falls into this trap more than a few times. Marten has never worked at a coffee shop, and Pintsize can't really be considered a pet; Jeph Jacques later joked about making Marten work at Coffee of Doom to make the article accurate. Mistaking MS Paint Adventures as being made in MS Paint is a more understandable mistake, but MS Paint hasn't been used for it at all since the very first page in 2006, and the site's FAQ makes that quite clear.
