{{trope}}
* ''[[Megatokyo]]'' - [http://www.megatokyo.com/index.php?strip_id=111 - A seriously frightening example] (in retrospect) where the character is reflecting the symptoms of her real-life namesake's autoimmune disorder which later turned into cancer. Note the knee brace on Seraphim then read [http://megatokyo.com/strip/1290#rant1042 Rant 1042] for details.
* In the sprite comic ''[[Bob and George]]'', the 4th wall never existed, and it was a constant running gag. All the characters knew that they were in a comic, and the author of the comic often made appearances. Once he even came out to fight another author that entered his comic's universe. One of the characters even read ahead to know what was going to happen next. Of course [[Better Than It Sounds|this wasn't exactly a bad thing]], as it made the comic what it was.
* Xawu, in most (if not all) the [https://web.archive.org/web/20121101003033/http://xawu.thecomicseries.com/comics/ comics that have Hori in them.]
* The fourth wall is given a loving fracture every now and then in ''[[A Moment of Peace]]''. At one point, it's opened up so that [https://web.archive.org/web/20150510121850/http://www.amomentofpeace.net/index.php?num=2 stars can pour through].
* In ''[[Horndog]]'', the fourth wall breaks Bob's nose.
* In ''[http://www.pvponline.com PvP]'', now and then, the characters break the fourth wall. Before the [[Time Skip]], this was usually for some movie impersonation. Nearly- nearly every time, someone dies horribly, but as it's fourth wall breaking, it gives an excuse for a [[Snap Back]].
** In [https://web.archive.org/web/20180826112342/http://pvponline.com/comic/2018-08-24 this strip], Francis breaks the fourth wall to [[Don't Explain the Joke|explain the joke]].
** There's a post-time-skip fourth-wall-breaking [https://web.archive.org/web/20201207172857/http://pvponline.com/comic/2020-12-07 here]. "I can tell by your font."
* ''[[Ctrl+Alt+Del]]'' broke the fourth wall quite literally in this strip: [http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/20070720 One-Thousand].
** Handily combined with [[You Bastard]]!
** ''[[Ctrl+Alt+Del]]'' really had [[No Fourth Wall]] at first, but then abandoned that and switched to only occasionally [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]].
* ''[[Scandinavia and the World]]'' occasionally breaks this, but without referencing it. Whenever the Netherlands and Denmark, (and sometimes Germany) surprise Japan by making out, they call it Yaoi, with is never real people; meaning that they, even if it wasn't intentional, know that they know that they are drawn.
* In ''[[Acorn Grove]]'', after a long break, the creators of the strip write themselves in to apologize for the last strip being there for so long. [http://acorngrove.comicgenesis.com/d/20051201.html\]{{Dead link}}. In another strip the resident redshirt get killed when he notices the fourth wall [http://acorngrove.comicgenesis.com/d/20090406.html\]{{Dead link}}.
* "[[Dr. McNinja]]'s Final Thoughts" breaks the fourth wall at the end of each chapter in ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'' (usually used to deliver a humorous 'lesson' from the story or a moral of questionable veracity)
* The ''[[Insecticomics]]'' wavers between breaking the fourth wall and not having one altogether. The Insecticons themselves don't really seem to bother with it.
* Done (incredibly skillfully) every now and then in ''[[Dragon Tails]]''.
{{quote| '''Corlis''': That's it, I'm finding a new comic, this one's stupid!}}
* ''[[Calamities of Nature]]'' breaks the fourth wall [https://web.archive.org/web/20130523045554/http://www.calamitiesofnature.com/archive/?c=165 here] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20130523030100/http://www.calamitiesofnature.com/archive/?c=276 here], and even [https://web.archive.org/web/20130523031911/http://www.calamitiesofnature.com/archive/?c=143 discusses the fourth wall while breaking it at the same time].
* Jason, the author of the ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' webcomic ''[[UG Madness]]'', has vowed never to break the fourth wall...except when [https://web.archive.org/web/20100416052816/http://www.ugmadness.net/index.php?date=2006-05-26 making fun of his own vow].
* In ''[[Adventurers!]]'', [[Final Boss]] Khrima uses an attack spell with an animation [https://web.archive.org/web/20100626130822/http://www.adventurers-comic.com/d/20050423.html so over-the-top], it doesn't just include an [[Earthshattering Kaboom]], it actually ''cracks the Adventurers game disc'', requiring Karn to tell the "player" [http://adventurers.keenspot.com/d/20050503.html how to replace the disc with a backup copy].
* Rich Burlew's ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'' is pretty random with the fourth wall. The worst is probably the Oracle constantly addressing the audience and referring to books or in-comic years. Also the 100th and 600th strip had lampshading referring to the anticlimax in each. And V once referred to how many strips would be necessary to get another dumb trial done. Belkar also once referred to himself as the only funny thing left in the comic strip.
** ''[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0649.html Strip #649]'' memorably includes Haley stealing a diamond from [[Impossible Thief|the site's cast page]] (which is not part of the comic's continuity) in order to power a Ressurection spell. Ever since then, the [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/ootscast.html actual cast page] has shown Haley holding an "I owe me" note instead of the actual diamond.
Line 23 ⟶ 25:
** Arguably, a [[Censor Box]] with "We have a Shivae 13 rating to maintain" to cover up a certain naked anthro fox's naughty bits should qualify.
* In ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]],'' Jean periodically scolds Bob for breaking the Fourth Wall, calling it "one of his worst habits." [http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20070414.html Although she herself indulges in it on rare occasions.]
* ''[[Casey and Andy]]'' only broke the fourth wall once, in an early strip, but did so [http://www.galactanet.com/comic/view.php?strip=6 very definitively].
* ''[[I Was Kidnapped by Lesbian Pirates from Outer Space]]'' has been known to break the fourth wall and even had a intermission that was called [https://web.archive.org/web/20100822095334/http://www.drunkduck.com/I_Was_Kidnapped_By_Lesbian_Pirates_From_Outer_Space/index.php?p=349235 The Search For The Fourth Wall].
* In ''[[Keychain of Creation]]'', a comic based on the ''[[Exalted]]'' tabletop RPG, the characters frequently talk as if the rules of the game were the solid rules of their reality, and they knew their own stats. However, they don't actively break the fourth wall; that's left to a band of [[The Fair Folk|the Fae]], especially their leader, who says quite frankly that he only led his band back to fight the main characters ''because there'd be no story otherwise.'' The main characters all act like he's a jabbering mental patient when he says as much.
* ''[httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20180114204936/http://shapequest.net/ Shape Quest]'', an RPG video game parody comic, does this during the first strip, where Lance acknowledges that he is poorly drawn and tries to think of something clever to say so people will continue reading past the first strip.
* ''[[The KAMics]]'' does this occasionally.
* ''[[The Call of Whatever]]'' did it in a storyline starting [http://tcow.comicgenesis.com/d/20011224.html here].
Line 32 ⟶ 34:
* ''[[Flipside]]'' does it in the Intermission strips.
* In ''[[Drowtales]]'', Kiel can tell that the readers are there and talks to them when she's bored. Others consider her weird for still having an imaginary friend.
** In a rare twist of breaking the fourth wall in a tragic rather than comedic manner, Kiel grows furious at the audience watching her and [https://web.archive.org/web/20111021022344/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7178 throws a belt at them]. According the forum fandom, it broke many screens and hit many eyes.
* ''[[Darths and Droids]]''' 468th strip says "''Puny Comic-Reading Humans, Bow Before My Magnificence!''".
* In an early ''Faulty Logic'' page, [[Author Avatar|Fox and Jalyss]] break through the fourth wall of the author-comments section (with a hammer) to make sure there are actually people reading their strip.
** More recently,{{when}} a [http://faultylogic.comicgenesis.com/d/20090131.html spacial vortex] reverses fourth-wall positions. Notably, readers can actually ''see'' the Fourth Wall in the background.
* The ''[[Xkcdxkcd]]'' blag features "Federal Reserve Skateboard: A Short Story," which includes the following:
** ''Bernanke, trying not to slip in the patches of blood on the floor, struggled with Greenspan. The older man moved like a snake that moved like a former Fed Chairman who moved like a ninja. At last, Bernanke got a solid grip on Greenspan?s collar and hurled him through the fourth wall, knocking you to the ground.''
* Penny from ''[[http://www.out-at-home.com/ Out at Home]]'' pretty much exists to break the fourth wall, to the confusion of the other characters, who don't have her [[Medium Awareness]].
** "Why are you talking to that wall?"
* [[The Cyantian Chronicles]]: Mostly averted in the canon comics. Only NOT averted when "We Have a Shivae-13 Rating To Maintain", which only happened once so far.
** Played for laughs in a fan scripted bonus comic contained in the print version of Akaelae 5.
* In [https://web.archive.org/web/20081225141504/http://bukucomics.com/loserz/index.php?comicID=99 the hundredth strip] of ''[[Loserz]]'', protagonist Ben remarks: "I just got the strangest feeling, like I'm being watched. -- What's even weirder is that I'm somehow sure this has happened exactly 100 times..."
* ''[[Girls with Slingshots]]'' doesn't usually break the [[Fourth Wall]], but in [https://web.archive.org/web/20140705015858/http://www.daniellecorsetto.com/GWS471.html this strip] Hazel takes back a hasty comment by pulling the speech bubble back into her mouth and swallowing it.
* ''Luci Phurr's Imps'' does it in [http://luciphurrsimps.com/2012/02/26/myths-and-legends-1/ This strip.]
* You want literal breaking the fourth wall? Check out [https://web.archive.org/web/20150512181715/http://www.neomonsterisland.com/tktarkv/vol3/027/1320/1.html this] episode of ''[[Twisted Kaiju Theater]]''.
* [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20180114204936/http://shapequest.net/ Shape Quest] does this frequently, especially at the end of the first chapter, where Lance urges the readers to continue reading.
* ''[[Cyanide and& Happiness]]'' also broke the wall several times, like [http://www.explosm.net/comics/375/ this one].
** And subverted [http://www.explosm.net/comics/1401/ here].
* ''[[Ozy and Millie]]'' toyed with it once. "I'm Ozymandias. You may know me from strips such as this one."
Line 54 ⟶ 56:
* ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' regularly breaks the fourth wall, but it isn't often that [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20020407.html the author breaks ''in'' through the fourth wall.]
** In many, many panels a main character uses the edge of the panel, literally, as a wall to brace themselves against.
* ''[[Sexy Losers]]'' did this in a [https://web.archive.org/web/20120504125051/http://sexylosers.com/special20.html crossover] (barely SFW) and a [https://web.archive.org/web/20120516142720/http://sexylosers.com/g015.html guest strip] ([[NSFW]]) did the same joke to, er, completion.
* [http://www.flyingmanandfriends.com Flying Man and Friends] does this on a regular basis, with characters addressing or reacting to readers. In [https://web.archive.org/web/20120502164527/http://www.flyingmanandfriends.com/?p=260 this strip], there was even an actual wall underneath the comic, which was peeled away to reveal it.
* ''[[Nowhere University]]'' has the characters make references to plot twists & their author, then again the teachers at that school come from literary classics so...
* In the "[[Little Diddle]]" comic [http://i734.photobucket.com/albums/ww349/democomic/IMG0001.jpg Lucky Day]{{Dead link}} little diddle finds a lucky penny and lucky ducky says there is no such thing as luck. little diddle then says that they are in a comic so it does exist, then lucky says that the fourth wall just broke.
* Done with interesting results in [http://www.kevinandkell.com/2007/kk0304.html this] ''[[Kevin and Kell]]'' sundaySunday strip.
** It took 13 years for the strip to break the fourth wall again. During the COVID-19 pandemic, [https://kevinandkell.com/2020/kk0531.html Coney is happy that panels exist.]
* ''[http://www.eyebeam.com Eyebeam]'' features [http://www.eyebeam.com/toons/index.php?num=86 this brilliant three part comic], combining elements of the [[Fourth Wall]] and [[It Was All Just a Dream]].
* ''[[Untitled!]]'' had elements of this early on, with, for example, a character who was introduced as "living in the gaps between frames," complete with a character grabbing the frame and leaning her upper body out of the frame and looking into the afore-mentionedaforementioned gap. What makes this case interesting is that the comic later caught a bad case of [[Cerebus Syndrome]], and as a symptom, acquired a fourth wall. Some of the fourth-wall-breaking elements where explained away (e.g. as the actions of [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens]] or psychic planeswalkers): I don't recall an explanation ever being provided for what was happening when the protagonist leaned her upper torso out of the frame.
* ''[[Enjuhneer]]'' does this on occasion.
* Hilariously toyed with in [http://pungirls.net/strip/index.php?strip_id=40 this ''Pungirls'' strip.]
* Most obviously in ''[[Bittersweet Candy Bowl]]'' during the chapter [https://web.archive.org/web/20101226234639/http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c38.3/p1.html Out Of The Frame], when all of the minor and background characters form a "Neglected Club" to campaign for more screentime.
* In this ''Random Chaos'' [http://randomchaos.smackjeeves.com/comics/810994/the-dark-master-pt-3/ strip]{{Dead link}} the '''reader''' is killed. Complete with blood splattered on the "screen".
* In ''[[Bibliography (web comic)|Bibliography]]''.
{{quote| '''Ben:''' Why am I so off-panel?}}
* The [[Sprite Comic]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20160328114942/http://f4e.anarchicq.com/ FRIENDS 4 EVER!!!!] has engaged in breaking the fourth wall a few times.
* In [https://web.archive.org/web/20130613093652/http://girlyyy.com/go/760 this] ''Girly'' episode Otra comes real close to BTFW but does a nice save in the next panel.
* Several characters of ''[[Sandra and Woo]]'' have already broken the fourth wall, for example [http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/11/09/0110-pie/ Sandra], [http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/11/16/0112-the-physical-impossibility-of-falling-in-the-mind-of-someone-walking/ Woo] and [http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/09/02/0196-no-night-in-spiderman/ Cloud's father David].
* In "The Cartoon Chronicles of Conroy Cat", where all cartoon characters are actors in Cartoon Land, the 4th Wall is revealed [http://dtoons.com/conroy/2010/09/the-4th-wall/ here] to be one of the main principles of [[Toon Physics]].
* The narrator/author [https://web.archive.org/web/20130405072307/http://blipcomic.com/49/ gets in trouble] in [[Blip]]; K is _not_ happy.
* ''[[Dungeons and Denizens]]'' breaks the wall [https://web.archive.org/web/20120403001952/http://dungeond.com/2010/10/28/10282010/ from both directions]. Skip back two pages and read the comments to get the whole story.
* Often happens in ''[[Capt'n Crazy|Captn Crazy]]''.
* Early on in ''[[Game Destroyers]]'', [http://www.gamedestroyers.net/104 Spiffy breaks the fourth wall] by pointing out a [[Plot Hole]]. ▼

* [http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=2203 This] SMBC comic has the entire human race break the fourth wall ''of the universe'' after figuring out that it is just a simulation.
* In ''[[Homestuck]]'' there is an actual goddamn physical fourth wall. It's first used as a lame joke and then later by the author as a self-indulgent insert to the comic where he recaps the story. Then the comic introduces [[Up to Eleven|a fifth wall]] (according to [[Word of God|Word of Hussie]], it separates multiple omniscient [[Narrator|narrators]]) and promptly starts breaking ''that'', too. It's strongly implied that this will be a major plot point. On his formspring page, Andrew Hussie joked that there's also a sixth wall, and that it's what's holding back all the "shitty memes". [[Homestuck/Memes|That wall apparently broke a long time ago.]]
** And in [[Wham! Episode|[S] Cascade]], {{spoiler|it's revealed that Jade's plan to save them all is to actually fly through the fourth wall, traveling through our universe for about three nanoseconds ([[Year Inside, Hour Outside|from our perspective]]). The destination is ''another'' fourth wall leading to an [[Alternate Universe]]. The real world is apparently a [[Void Between the Worlds]].}}
** And then there's {{spoiler|[[Eldritch Abomination|Lord English]], who invokes [[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You]] and [[Rage Against the Author]].}}
* Every chapter of ''[[Tales Of Gnosis College]]'' ends with a "Women of Gnosis" pin-up that depicts one of the series's female characters and contains a brief caption. One of these characters -- Iris Brockman -- uses her caption to complain to the reader about how she got neither a name nor a dialog line in the preceding chapter.
* In ''[[Vinigortonio]]'':
