* Done deliberately in ''[[Too Much Coffee Man (Comic Book)|Too Much Coffee Man]].'' After studiously avoiding any even vaguely superheroic content in a superhero comic, we finally get an alien coming to Earth and begging the hero for help. The two of them make small talk as they get ready for the adventure ... then the story jumps ahead to show them coming home, since the small talk was the [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|real point]].

* ''[[Funky Winkerbean]]'' set up a meeting between Les and a formerly homeless woman who somehow became a big publisher thanks to Les' manuscript, which she found and possibly plagiarized. You'd think that Les would look up the woman and what books she's written/published, discover she became rich off his stolen book and angrily confront her over plagiarism charges, but nothing happens. They meet, decide to do business, the manuscript isn't brought up, and that's it. The next week's plot is new, and it hasn't been brought up again.

* In [[Blue Beetle]], Guy Gardner started a "really cool bar fight." We see what caused the fight, we are told that it was really cool, but the fight itself happens off panel.
