Line 90:
* ''[[Pearls Before Swine]]'' does this intentionally. It's even lampshaded by the characters, e.g., "Didn't that whale die a few years ago?" "Yes, yes he did." And then the strip continues as if nothing happened.
* ''[[Beetle Bailey]]'': Only a few major events covered by [[Story Arc|story arcs]] have continued to be canon—mainly that Beetle enlisted to the army from college, and his and Sarge's vacations spent with Beetle's parents. Other than that, things up to and including aliens landing on Earth will be ignored in the next strip, and character concepts have changed to the point of [[Retcon]].
* The trope is referenced in a ''[[Nemi]]'' comic strip where the titular character's friend is trying to tell her about someone who appeared in the film ''[[Highlander II the Quickening]]''. Nemi then says that ''[[Highlander]]'' doesn't have any sequels. Her friend realises she's "repressing everything you don't like", which he then comments is why she has not seen ''[[Alien Resurrection|Aliens 4]]'', to which she answers "''[[Alien Resurrection|Aliens 4]]?''" It should also be noted her friend says "I know you've seen both sequels" implying he practices [[Canon Discontinuity]] himself or is genuinely unaware of the exact number of sequels in the ''[[Highlander]]'' franchise.
