* The very concept of an interactive narrator is parodied in [https://web.archive.org/web/20100416054316/http://www.ugmadness.net/index.php?date=2006-07-03 this] strip from the ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' webcomic ''[[UG Madness]]''.
* Cartoonist Bruce Tinsley frequently interacts with the title character of ''[[Mallard Fillmore]]'', appearing as a giant set of fingers holding a pencil above the panel.
* [[Fan Web Comic]] ''[[Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha]] [http://check.animeblogger.net/nanoha-gamers-index/ GamerS]'' has, to quote one of the characters, "this weird yellow box thing that keeps following me around and making weird comments". He tends to get threatened with grievious bodily harm, especially by [[Straight Man|Teana]].

In one instance, he is as confused as the audience when we see Tagon and Brad killed and then alive, and in another, he tries to ''talk a character out of a [[Heroic Sacrifice]]''. It is particularly jarring because the characters rarely show any other sign of [[Medium Awareness]]. The narrator later messes with the strip and brings back everyone who's died so far. When it's revealed as an [[April Fools]] joke, the girlfriend of the aforementioned [[Heroic Sacrifice]] is [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20020401.html understandably incensed]:
