Identical Panel Gag: Difference between revisions

* Used in ''[[Bleach (Manga)|Bleach]]'' when Ichigo wants to transform into a Shinigami to go and save Rukia... before realizing he has no way to do so (Rukia has the transforming glove and the Soul Candy is inside Kon).

* Done in ''[[D .Gray Man (Manga)-man|D Gray Man]]'' during the brief flashback with Mana. A dialogue between a clown-hating [[Bratty Half-Pint]] and a clown who doesn't exactly have all his head can lead to this.

* In ''[[Code Breaker (Manga)|Code Breaker]]'', [[Sensei Chan-chan|Kanda]] suggets to feed a puppy with… onions. And sake. (see the trope image)

* The first pages of the two fights between Aoki and Papaya in ''[[Hajime no Ippo (Manga)|Hajime no Ippo]]'' both have a rigorously identical panel layout and an identical pose for Aoki. So are the pages where Aoki takes the "Coconut Punch". The two fights are ''dozens of chapters apart'', making it [[Crowning Moment of Funny|doubly hilarious]] when you realize that.

* In the later chapters of [[DragonballDragon Ball]], Trunks and Goten repeatedly attempt fusion with varying results. The reaction panels are the exact same to the point that Kuririn calls Akira Toriyama himself out on it.

* Hilariously lampshaded in [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q9rKr5S7H88/TkghWPNV6gI/AAAAAAAACWo/GejH_hxQnl8/s1600/Similar0Invincible.jpg this page] of ''[[Invincible (Comic Book)|Invincible]]'' featuring a comic book artist talking about reusing panels.

* There's a ''[[Calvin and Hobbes (Comic Strip)|Calvin and Hobbes]]'' strip where Calvin is telling Hobbes about his grandfather, who complains that modern comic strips are "nothing but a bunch of xeroxed talking heads". Every panel in the strip is the same two-shot of Calvin and Hobbes, with only the speech bubbles changing. (Although if I recall correctly, on closer inspection, there are enough tiny differences to show that each "identical" panel was actually drawn separately.)

* The ''[[VG Cats (Webcomic)|VG Cats]]'' love to do this. This notably happens [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=188 just before] Aeris's [[Atomic F-Bomb]].

* One series of panels in ''[[Sluggy Freelance (Webcomic)|Sluggy Freelance]]'' shows someone demonstrating what it would be like to get stuck in timeless space. It's a few dozen frames of the character not moving. One in the middle shows him looking at the camera.

* ''[[Cyanide and Happiness (Webcomic)|Cyanide and Happiness]]'' does this in nearly every single comic.
