Line 8:
* Bro's rapping vetriloquist dummy Lil' Cal in ''[[Homestuck]]'' shares a large number of traits with Franklin from ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'', one of Hussie's favourite shows.
** In Act 6, we meet the Alpha kids, {{spoiler|aka alternate universe counterparts of the original kid's guardians, }} who share some similarities to the {{spoiler|dead }}trolls. Jane Crocker shares many similarities to [[Genki Girl|Feferi]] {{spoiler|and is related to her by adoption}}, Jake English has similarities to [[Boisterous Bruiser|Equius]], Roxy is an odd mix of [[Playful Hacker|Sollux]], [[The Alcoholic|Gamzee]], and [[Catgirl|Nepeta]], and Dirk is Equius and Rose.
* Even Dozerfleet Comics characters are prone to this. Candi Levens of the [[Ciem Webcomic Series]] is in many ways an expy of Vaneesa Abiyoti from ''[[Stationery Voyagers]]: Final Hope''. Both are in-turn expies of Juanita "Olive Kitty" Bines, a character from a 1997 short-lived short story collection titled [https://web.archive.org/web/20111117061435/http://dozerfleetwiki2.wiki-site.com/index.php/Mechanical_Conflict Mechanical Conflict]. They may have different ethnicities and [[Sorting Algorithm of Mortality|differing levels of mortality]], but they are quite easily the same character, [[Author Appeal|for obvious reasons]].
** ''Final Hope'' is even worse: Laura Herrante is basically just a Caucasian version of Vaneesa, and ends up having the role Vaneesa would have fulfilled if not for {{spoiler|[[Off with His Head|having been offed]]}} by Astrabolo.
* Masked vigilante [[Webcomics/The Fan|Maelstrom]] is not completely unlike a certain mascot of a [[Iron Maiden|certain band]].
