Line 7:
{{examples}}
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Desert Island Dick from ''[[The Topper]]'' was just a whole comic strip about this trope: one guy lives on a deserted island by himself and never seems to be able to get off or starve. He is friends with the wildlife though. This trope has also been occasionally used in ''The Topper''{{'}}s more well known stablemates ''[[The Beano]]'' and ''[[The Dandy (comics)|The Dandy]]''.
Line 39 ⟶ 38:
* ''[[Tales of Monkey Island]]'' has a few of these, especially in Episode 2. When Guybrush encounters one of these for the first time, he [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades this]] with his remark "I didn't know tiny islands like this really existed." He also comments that he's glad he's not stranded there (he got there by sailing to it after choosing the destination from the ship's map) or else he'd have to worry about having something to read.
* In ''[[Gaia Online|zOMG!]]'', Sandblast and his [[Elite Mook]]s can only be battled by taking a canoe from Gold Beach to one of these.
* One of these islands is the setting for the game ''[https://www.laflammestudios.com/projects/johnnys-island/ Johnny's Island]''.
== [[Web Animation]] ==
Line 59:
* The ''[[Private Snafu]]'' [[Wartime Cartoon]] installment "No Buddy Atoll" starts with Snafu adrift at sea, but quickly shifts to a slightly-larger-than-usual Far Side Island (large enough to fight on, but still with only one palm tree).
== [[Other Media]] ==
* The Castaway Bill Screensaver features a lone man wandering about one of these.
** As did [[Sierra Online]]'s Windows 3.x screensaver ''[[Johnny Castaway]]''.
