* Before his explosive popularity as a [[Zero Punctuation|games critic]], and even before his modest popularity as the creator of the ''[[Chzo Mythos]]'' series, [[Ben Croshaw|Yahtzee]] ran several shortish webcomics on his site, which he has now gone on to disown completely along with every game he made before ''The Trials of Odysseys Kent'', as well as every work of fiction he wrote before the age of 20, as he doesn't want people thinking he actually cares about said work.
** In a Let's Play of the series on the [[Something Awful]] forums, he indicated that he doesn't stand by the Mythos these days either, but considers it an important step in his learning about games.
* ''[[Exterminatus Now]]'' is mainly based on mocking the daylights out of a setting that attempted to make ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' [[Darker and Edgier]] by adding ''[[
* In its formative years, [[Platypus Comix]] contained no archive. Some cartoons were literally only up for one week and then vanished forever. The practice was originally due to limited storage space (it began as a Geocities site) but was continued until 2006 as a means of quality control (anything the author ''didn't'' regret making was given a position in a selective archive section). Most of the pre-06 works are still offline, but lately they have turned up in book collections.
* Josh Lesnick, of ''[[Girly]]'', took down his first comic down for this reason. As a result, a lot of people don't know there was a comic before ''[[Cute Wendy]]''.
* The author of ''[[My Roommate Is An Elf]]'' took down the comic for this reason. The art was painfully terrible and the writing was rough draft quality at best.
* Tom Siddell has stated that he can hardly bear [[Art Evolution|looking at the early pages]] of ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]''.
* Ethan Nicolle, the artist that draws ''[[Axe Cop]]'', [http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=6285523&blogId=476404166 feels that way] about ''Jesus Christ: In the Name of the Gun'' (a comic he drew and co-wrote) since he considers it a crude joke that went too far.
* Ian Jones-Quarty, who has since gone on to work as an animator, cited his embarrassment at early pages (which were artistically crude and sometimes fanservice-y) of [[RPG World]] as half the reason he elected to abandon the series. The other half was [[Creator Backlash]] over fans dislike his side project in the comic.
* JJW, one of the old guard of early-2000 sprite comics, has built [http://spritecomics.wordpress.com/ a blog] dedicated to tearing them a new asshole.
