A '''Guest Strip''' is a [[Canon Discontinuity|Non-Canon]] episode of a webcomic that was not drawn or written by the current authors of said webcomic. Due to the communal nature of the Web and webcomics culture, this is much easier to organise than in other media. It is, perhaps, ascended [[Fan Art]].
Usually, guest strips are posted as [[Filler Strips]], and entire "Guest Strip Weeks" are often invoked by webcomic authors when they need back surgery, a week in Tahiti, or a chance to attend a [[Fan Convention|Con]]. Other comics, usually dailies, post a guest strip on Sundays in lieu of an elaborate [[Sunday Strip]].

* One special event in the history of guest strips occurred on September
** And guess what? He did it ''again'', on September
* Inverted in the case of [[Xkcd]]'s [http://xkcd.com/141/ Parody Week], where Randall Monroe drew five [[The Parody|parodies]] of some of his favourite webcomics and posted them as part of his own webcomic.
** XKCD did a guest strip week in November 2010, when Randall was struggling with a family illness.
