* From ''[[Request Comics]]'': [http://www.requestcomics.com/comic/7.html "Anthropomorphic toasters are so harsh and uncaring, they speak in Courier."]
* In [http://www.viruscomix.com/page455.html this page] of ''[[Subnormality]]'', a ninja shuriken is essently made into an asterisk, which the characters use to read the note on the end of strip.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20120513132011/http://geekinlove.com/la-caza-del-troll/ This page] of the Spanish webcomic ''[http://geekinlove.com/ GeekInLove]'' depicts the characters hunting a "archtypical" [[Troll|internet troll]], but he is smarter than the main characters thought and he breaks the strip and goes down to the comments area to escape. He is still chased by one of the heroes, who finally kills him in the comment entry box. The "comment area" is in fact a mockup, but it's very well done and the comments are perfectly synchronized with the action.
* [http://www.gocomics.com/lio/2008/10/08/ Here's an example] of Painting the Medium from the comic strip ''[[Lio]]''.
* [http://www.kdingo.net/champ/pics/main.php?g2_itemId=3930 This comic], while not part of a continual series, is a wonderful, if creepy and somewhat depressing example of Painting the Medium.
Line 691:
*** And Homestar himself appears behind the right side. He's pretty much always there, just usually he's [[Behind the Black]].
** In a similar way with the above, typing in the URL http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail200.html brought you (and still does) to a fake Firefox "address not found" page where the "[[Straw Fan|Deleteheads]]" camp out waiting for the 200th Strong Bad Email.
** Typing in an invalid URL on the site will bring up a "404'd" page in the style of Strong Bad's "Teen Girl Squad" comics. The title is a play on a [[Running Gag]] in Teen Girl Squad: injuries named with the object used to cause it, plus a "-'d" on the end (examples: {{spoiler|MSG'd, team manager'd... Strong Bad even [[Lampshade Hanging|LampshadeHanging'd]] it once: "Those Teen Girl Squad girls are sure gonna get something'd now!"}}) While this works with any URL that is not a valid file in the homestarrunner.com domain albeit not in a different directory (due to relative linking, pages such as [http://www.homestarrunner.com/stinkogame/ this one] will not load), the official URL is https://web.archive.org/web/20131030101138/http://www.homestarrunner.com/404error.html.
** In the 150th e-mail, "Alternate Universe", the style of talking changes depending on which universe Strong Bad is in at the moment. For example, in the Strong Badman comic, speech bubbles show up during speech, and in the storybook universe, everything anyone says is subtitled like a children's book.
*** Also in the Strong Badman comic, Strong Bad tells Strong Badman that his comic is getting boring, then ''jumped out of the panel and landed in a later one'', thus basically gaining the power of ''time travel''.
