*** In the same story, the fire truck shown after the house explodes was the exact reproduction of the actual fire truck of the town, down to the NUMBER PLATE.
*** Probably inspired by Herge's example, anal-retentive amounts of research and detail has become a defining trait of the ''ligne claire'' comic artists.
* ''[[Usagi Yojimbo (Comic Book)|Usagi Yojimbo]]'': Stan Sakai likes to have an occasional story where he features various craftwork of Japan depicted in detail like swordmaking, cheating at gambling, kite making and pottery. It went even further when he devoted multiple chapters in a major arc to the legendary history of the famous sword, Kusanagi, ''before'' the eponymous hero came into the story. This devotion to proper research has earned Sakai a Parent's Choice Award for the comic for its educational value.
** He often literally does this by including a few paragraphs summarising his research on whatever was depicted in the comic in the letters section.
* Many [[Batman]] stories written by Doug Moench, especially from the ''Batman'' flagship title, take unexpected sidesteps from the actual plot to allow for lengthy monologues or discussions of scientific, religious or philosophical nature. Unsurprisingly, even the discussions between two characters come across like the writer talking down to the audience.
