Examples of [[{{BASEPAGENAMEROOTPAGENAME}}]] in [[Webcomics{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
 
* D'rizzl in ''[[8-Bit Theater]]'' had his IQ go up 120 points upon joining the Dark Warriors, since the team needed a straight man.
Line 38:
** She seems to be de[[Flanderization|flanderizing]] [http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1404 a bit].
 
* Non-work safe comic ''[[Sexy Losers]]''. In particular, early "Madame X" strips featured a couple of friends who mainly existed to bounce exposition off of...[https://web.archive.org/web/20150211074045/http://sexylosers.com/006.html at first]. Later strips saw the characters earning the [[Fan Nickname|Fan Nicknames]] [[Vitriolic Best Buds|Abusive Friend]] and [[Cluster F-Bomb|Swearing Friend]], based on strips like [https://web.archive.org/web/20150211074330/http://sexylosers.com/043.html this]. As the author put it, "But you said nothing happened last time," practically sounds like a doctoral thesis coming from a character known for lines like "Your fuck is shit, dickass."
** This is also true for the Suicide Girl comics. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130928003741/http://sexylosers.com/007.html At first], he would ask the girl if they would have sex prior making you believe he would have either or. [https://web.archive.org/web/20150215093617/http://sexylosers.com/097.html Now] he's only interested in corpses.
** Also true for the Kenta's Hot Mom comics. [https://web.archive.org/web/20150215095342/http://sexylosers.com/048.html At first], Kenta ''actually'' had feelings for his mother. This gets weird seeing how he is openly disgusted at his mom's sexual advances in every other comic.
 
* For the first year or so of ''[[Something *Positive]],'' Davan is portrayed as being completely hopeless with women. He's shown being rejected by women multiple times, and the few relationships he has had have been with women who were either mentally unstable or who spontaneously decided to cheat on him (and in one instance, both). This changed due to a bit of outside interference: according to [[Word of God]] (in a [[YouTube]] post), Milholland had the idea of Davan meeting a really cool girl in the bar he frequented, then having her be creeped out by his getting involved in an altercation. A friend suggested that instead of going for the thousandth downer, that he cut Davan a break and let him be happy for once. His going for this idea and starting a romantic plotline for Davan probably killed the whole "women hate Davan" gag; since then, Davan has been involved with a handful of reasonably stable women, including some friends-with-benefits closet-action. Davan still references the ''idea'' that he only attracts crazy women, but then nobody in the comic seems entirely sane.
