Loophole Abuse/Web Comics: Difference between revisions

* A hilarious variation occurs in ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'', where the crew of the mercenary ship effectively avoid any litigation by becoming legally appointed bounty hunters, hunting members of the lawyer collective. They could still be sued if anyone apart from them used non-Collective attorneys, but Massey is the only non-Collective lawyer we've seen, and he's a member of the company.

* Therkla invokes this trope to her advantage in [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0562.html this page] of [[Order of the Stick]].

** Also [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2009/07/16/episode-1153-federalist-interpretation-of-physics/ here]:

'''Black Mage:''' Then there's no rule that says we can't. }}

* In the webcomic ''[[Brat Halla]]'', there ain't no rule saying that a god dueling another as a tie-breaker in the [[Tournament Arc|Pantheon Games]] can't call in his independently sentient, disembodied eyeball in a [[Humongous Mecha]] to help him. For extra amusement, after t'other god tries to cite its absence in the rules, that there ain't no rule saying you ''can'', the eyeball in its mech comes in and cites the rule in question.

* The Constitution didn't provide for insane bunny senators and therefore did not lay down a rule about what to do when one goes missing. In [[Prickly City]], this matters.

* Protoman in ''[[Bob and George]]'' does this with his [["Three Laws"-Compliant|Three Laws Compliance]].

'''Protoman''': That only applies if I think he's a human, which I don't. }}

* Tristan pulls this in ''[[Angel Moxie]]'' so she can get away with a [[Nonuniform Uniform]] in the form of striped stockings. She [http://www.venisproductions.com/angelmoxie/archives/4/8/486.html even recites the specific rule], noting that while there ''are'' limits on what kind of ''socks'' can be worn, stockings are allowed as an alternative and there are no such limitations for them.
