** Also Kappei. He was a pretty important character in the original visual novel, but never appears in the anime, EVER.

 

* Dr. Lorna hasn't had more than the (very) occasional reference in ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' for years, despite being {{spoiler|Riff's mom}} and still living in the same town by all accounts. She's essentially been [[Put on a Bus]], having {{spoiler|disowned Riff}} and fired Gwynn and Zoe, leaving her with no connections to the cast (and satirizing Dr. Laura no longer being in style).

* Stephan used to be a much bigger part of ''[[Ozy and Millie]]''. The cartoonist explains that he was created to represent the overly confident geeks of the dotcom era; when the dotcom bubble burst, there simply wasn't as much of a place for Stephan.

* In ''[[Least I Could Do]]'', Rayne's best friend John was given a rather strong demotion as writers switched over, being replaced with a long lost best friend. He began to see a resurgence in later times, though. Supposedly, this is because he was based on the writer's real best friend, who he had a falling out with.

* In ''[[Homestuck]]'', this happens to several characters after they get killed. They then recognize that this is happening, and one makes it their mission to become relevant again (dragging a friend along for the ride whether he wants to get back into the spotlight or not).
