Line 6:
** In a crossover with this, literature and animation, Berke does not like ''[[A Wish for Wings That Work]]'', an [[Animated Adaptation]] of his 1991 Christmas book of the same name (which in turn uses the Opus character from ''Bloom County'' and ''Outland'').
* Early on, ''[[Pearls Before Swine]]'' was a webcomic. Stephan Pastis republished some of the early webcomic strips in a book, and spent most of the time pointing out how [[Out of Character]] everyone was and how bad the art was (even for his minimalist stick-figure style).
* Scott Adams released a series of ''[[Dilbert]]'' strips that are really contrived to give Dogbert an arch-nemesis named Bingo the Cow Herding Dog in order to [[Executive Meddling|give Hollywood some material to work with]]. It would have turned the strip into something only other cartoonists like. This was during strip's early years that focus more on Dilbert's antics at home than at work. You can read them [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20030205175909/http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/dilbert/news_and_history/html/dogbert_origin_strips.html here].
** In a twentieth anniversary collection, Scott Adams included some comics he wrote for ''Dilbert'' as practice before trying to find a syndicate. Before listing the examples, Adams wrote "At the time, I thought puns were the highest form of humor. Forgive me."
* Charles M. Schulz frequently said he was somewhat embarrassed by the first few years of ''[[Peanuts]]''. As a result, several hundred strips from the early 1950s were never reprinted in book form during his lifetime, only seeing the light of day via Fantagraphics' ''Complete Peanuts'' series.
