Line 2:
* ''[[Kid Radd]]'', a cult favorite among those who have been on the Internet a while, originally got [[Screwed by the Network|screwed by the Internet]] with newer releases of IE and Firefox making the comic obsolete (the site was meant to work with IE5 and the original Firefox). Dan Miller, the author, did have multiple methods of viewing the comic — either on downloadable archives or sites where you could find the older versions of IE and Firefox that work perfectly.

* ''[[Not in My Backyard!]]'', a ''very'' early webcomic (as in, 1998 early) stopped abruptly in 2001. The site was still up until 2011. Fortunately, Wayback has [
