** The name does get explained in a footnote as having to do with the impossible nature of existence (i.e. "Everything (1) coming from Nothing (0)"), but that's still arguably oblique.

* The [[Big Bad]] of ''[[The Wotch]]'' is named Xaos (pronounced Chaose), but is an avatar of order (while [[Order Versus Chaos|the protagonist is one of chaos]]).

* In [[Chasing the Sunset]], there is the magister '''Malvenicus''' * [[Dramatic Thunder]] * , who is a [http://www.fantasycomic.com/index.php?p=c525 rather normal looking guy.]

* [[Girls with Slingshots]] contains plenty of girls, but few slingshots. The name does, however, crop up in reference to an alcoholic beverage in one strip, a tongue-in-cheek concession by the creator to those baffled by the ambiguous title.

** In the back of the first printed collection of the webcomic, the creator writes that it began with a few sketches - guess what they were of - and that after drawing a few of these, people began to ask Danielle Corsetto when those "girls with slingshots" would have their own comic strip. The kicker is that she then adds that she was drawing slingshots "...because I couldn't draw guns very well."

* [[Irregular Webcomic]] is this on one level (it's one of the most consistently updated webcomics out there) but not so much on others (it's a very unorthodox style of webcomic, what with the numerous unrelated plotlines and such).

** ~~With~~ the comic ~~ending~~ in October 2011, it is no longer irregular (updates every Sunday) nor a webcomic (new content ~~will be~~ new text annotations, released regularly every day).

** When the comic was on hiatus between October 2011 and April 2015, it was no longer irregular (updates every Sunday) nor a webcomic (new content was new text annotations, released regularly every day).

* ''[[Order of the Stick]]'': Miko Miyazaki isn't a [[Miko]], and Lord Shojo is neither [[Shojo|female nor adolescent]], though both "Miko" and "Shojo" can be written with kanji that don't have the common meanings, and Japan doesn't exist in the OoTS universe.

* ''[[Buttersafe]]'' has very little to do with butter, or the safety of it.

Line 651:

* ''[[Route 148]] '' doesn't really have anything to do with any roads other than that people use them to travel by.

* The name of the journal comic ''[[The Devil's Panties]]'' has absolutely nothing to do with its content. At conventions, the booth banner declares, "It's not Satanic porn, honest!"

* ''[[xkcd]]'' looks like an acronym for something. In fact, it doesn't mean anything; it's just a string of random letters that the creator (Randall Munroe) liked.

* The full title of the [[Remix Comic]] ''[[Jet Dream (webcomic)|Jet Dream]]'' is ''Jet Dream and her T-Girl Counterspies'', inherited from the original comic book feature, ''[[Jet Dream (Comic Book)|Jet Dream]] and her Stunt-Girl Counterspies''. However, in the Remix Comic, "Jet Dream" is the name of the ''organization'', not the lead character, whose name is Harmony Thunder. She's occasionally referred to as "the Jet Dream Queen" as partial [[Justified Trope|justification]], but [[Word of God|in truth]], the title was chosen because photoshopping out the letters "STUN" made for a quick and dirty title change that also fit [[Gender Bender|the main theme of the series]].
