Line 6:
The comics themselves tend to be drawn quickly, so that the artist can manage to crank them out something close to daily, but this isn't always the case. Some journal comics have a sort of indie vibe to them, due to being less story-focused and more focused on "being real" and being genuine... which may be a good or bad thing, depending on who you ask.
 
A possible occurrence is a [[Crossover]] between Journal Comics if two writers meet each other, such as the one between ''[[The DevilsDevil's Panties (Webcomic)|The Devils Panties]]'' ([http://thedevilspanties.com/archives/3591 in this strip] and [http://thedevilspanties.com/archives/3592 this strip]) and ''[[Today Nothing Happened]]'' ([http://www.shazzbaa.com/index.php?c=74 on this page]).
 
----
'''Examples:'''
* ''[[The DevilsDevil's Panties (Webcomic)|The Devils Panties]]'' is probably one of the most famous journal comics on the internet.
* ''[http://destinyfailsus.com Destiny Fails Us]'' Based on embellishments on the artist's life through her experience in highschool, friendship, and love.
* ''[http://www.americanelf.com/ American Elf]''
Line 18:
* ''Les Petits Riens''/''Little Nothers'' (originally written in French, but there's a translation of the first volume into English called ''Little Nothings: the Curse of the Umbrella.'')
* ''[http://www.horribleville.com// Horribleville]''
* ''[[Wasted Talent (Webcomic)|Wasted Talent]]'': The everyday life of Angela Melick (aka Jam), first as an engineering student and now as a full-fledged engineer.
* ''[[Today Nothing Happened (Webcomic)|Today Nothing Happened]]''
* ''[[Overcompensating (Webcomic)|Overcompensating]]'' is an undisguised subversion of the journal comic; it claims to be the "100% True Journal Comic about Real Things that happen everyday," despite featuring the webcomic artist's journey to Hell, encounters with Chupacabra, adventures with CERN's Large Hadron Collider and loads of other hilarious and unabashedly false "real-life" exploits. In fact, it's new tagline is "The journal comic with a seething disdain for reality."
* ''[http://www.prettyjeff.com// Pretty Jeff]'' Like ''Overcompensating'', abnormal events happen to the author, like turning into a snail or sleeping for five years. But most of the characters are real people, and the events expose real-life dilemmas the author has.
* ''[http://www.darcomic.com/ DAR: A Super Girly Top Secret Comic]'' (Unfrequently SFW.)
Line 28:
* ''[http://www.allancomic.com/ Allan]''
** ''[http://somethingoriginal.rampagenetwork.net/about/ Something Original]'', done by Allan's girlfriend Amanda.
* ''[[Johnny Wander (Webcomic)|Johnny Wander]]''
* ''[[American Splendor (Comic Book)|American Splendor]]'', from the pre-internet days, may be the [[Trope Maker]].
* ''Jim's Journal'' is another print example.
* ''[http://ghostcarpress.com/inkdick/ Inkdick]''
* ''[http://www.kevinsjournalcomic.com/ Kevin's Journal Comic]'' is in a 2x2 format but it outlines the highlights of Kevin's day from his senior year all the way to the present... over a 4 year period.
* ''[[Theater Hopper (Webcomic)|Theater Hopper]]''
* ''[http://www.permanentlyseated.com Permanently Seated]''
* ''[[Hyperbole and A Half (Webcomic)|Hyperbole and Aa Half]]''
* ''[http://doodlediaries.comicgen.com Doodle Diaries]''
* ''[http://www.alexsguide.net Alex's Guide to a Life Well-Lived]''
* ''[[Terrifying Monsters (Webcomic)|Terrifying Monsters]]'' follows the author's daily life with the only difference being that he and his friends are represented as monsters.
* ''Dirty Laundry'', a print comic made by [[Robert Crumb]] and his wife Aline Kominsky-Crumb.
