* An [[This Domain Is Irrelevant|untitled]] webcomic frequently makes use this, frequently brining up often inconsequential side points from older comics and twisting their meaning and often connecting them to all kinds of other events. Recently it has been [https://web.archive.org/web/20130725132332/http://thisdomainisirrelevant.net/592 revealed] that this is all the machination of the [[Illuminati]] of which Steve Jobs is a member.

** Another [[Alt Text]] nod from ''[[Xkcd]]'': [[Alt Text]] in [http://www.xkcd.com/616/ #616] referencing [http://www.xkcd.com/150/ #150]. There's also an [[Alt Text]] [http://www.xkcd.com/368 referrence] to the [http://www.xkcd.com/316/ elliptical reflector dish].
* Appears a few times in ''[[Something *Positive]]''. First is the reference to "I lava you," first seen on a note read by Davan and Nancy, and later repeated in a joke between Lisa and Gaspar.
** There's also the time when Aubrey and Kestrel entered a supply closet in the Nerdrotica building, where Aubrey stored some props from her less successful escapades. She is shown picking up a Cthulu mask, a reference to an earlier plot where she attempted to film a show called "My Neighbor Cthulu."
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20101229153806/http://www.brawlinthefamily.com/?p=978 One strip] in a Christmas-themed arc in ''[[Brawl in the Family]]'', has [[Kirby|King Dedede]] starting to go around stealing things set to a [[Filk Song]] from ''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

** Matthew acknowledges that [http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2012/05/10/408-resourcefulness/ this strip] is notably darker than standard Brawl in the Family fare, but check out the Alt Text and it'll point you to [https://web.archive.org/web/20130817182812/http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2011/07/15/350-if-it-takes-a-lifetime/ this one]. Then all kinds of [[Fridge Horror]] pops up.
* ''Unwinder's Tall Comics'' has a lot of these, sometimes resulting in [[Continuity Creep]]. For example, [https://web.archive.org/web/20140212093821/http://tallcomics.com/?id=32 this comic] references at least 5 different earlier strips.
* ''[[Life and Death]]'' mentions the [[Gargle Blaster]] [[Noodle Incident|incident]] a few hundred pages [http://www.drunkduck.com/Life_and_Death/index.php?p=698339 later.]{{Dead link}}
* Many in ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]],'' with references to the Lint Mines of Dustworld, Bob's bottomless sock drawer, Molly wanting a pony for her birthday, the Grammar Squirrel, Molly's ridiculous fanfic crossovers ''([[The Brothers Karamazov]]'' meet ''[[Harold and The Purple Crayon]],'' or ''[[Gulliver's Travels|Gulliver]] vs. [[Godzilla|Mechagodzilla),]]'' etc.
* [[Questionable Content|Questionable Content's]] strip [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1707 1707] has a continuity nod from perhaps as early as strip [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=270 270], as Jeff spontaneously decided to draw Faye, Penelope and Hannelore with their old hairstyles. The nod may be to an even earlier hair style, if you count when Faye wore her hair with clips in colours other than red.
