* Often used in ''[[Pearls Before Swine]]'', especially in the pun strips.
* ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'': Bill Watterson was fond of these, with Hobbes adding another punchline on the far right of the last panel, often a mockery or lampshade hanging on what Calvin was saying.
Line 16 ⟶ 17:
* The "two punchlines in last panel" variation is frequently seen in ''[[Cul De Sac]]''.
 
== Webcomics[[Web Comics]] ==
* Sometimes in ''[[Questionable Content (Webcomic)|Questionable Content]]'', as seen [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1812 here].
* In an example from ''[[Bob and George (Webcomic)|Bob and George]]'', after [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/011209 Bob revives from unconciousness off panel], when he actually appears in the penultimate panel of [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/011210 the next comic], he is wearing a ridiculous girly costume. The final panel has him making a reference to [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/011031 the prior Halloween comic], which is where the costume originated.
* ''[[Cat and Girl]]'' uses a fairly standard size format for its comics, but sometimes there will be an extra panel or two drawn in grey that adds a punchline.
* ''[[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|The Order of the Stick]]'' does this quite a lot.
* Many Webcomicsweb comics (including ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja (Webcomic)|The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'', ''[[Xkcd (Webcomic)|Xkcdxkcd]]'' and ''[[Achewood]]'') will include secondary punchlines in hover-over alt-text. ''[[Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal]]'' and ''[[Amazing Super Powers]]'' go a step further, including an entire bonus second-punchline panel., Thethe former by hovering over a red button at the end of the strip, and the latter by clicking a hidden question mark at the comic's side.
