Line 1:
{{trope}}
Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
* ''[[BC]]''. When it started in the late 1950s, its use of blatant anachronism was fresh and original. Characters used modern slang and [[Bamboo Technology|Stone Age equivalents of modern technology]], and this was a source of much of the humor. Over the decades this approach became the fallback for comic strips set in the past, which hurt ''BC'''s reputation. (As did Johnny Hart's [[Creator Breakdown]] when he started inserting his religious views into the strip, but [[Author Tract|that's another story]].)
** It arguably wasn't ''that'' influential, since in just a few years ''[[The Flintstones]]'' essentially ripped it off and yet was credited as something original.
Line 9 ⟶ 11:
* ''[[Dilbert]]'', not just in [[Newspaper Comics]], but in a wide variety of media, especially live-action TV. Someone unfamiliar with the comics, but a fan of ''[[The Office]]'' or ''[[Office Space]]'' might find the similarities close enough to cry plagiarism.
