Line 7:
* ''[[Xkcd]]'' started out as a merely okay collection of sketches and comics the author made when he was bored. Then, with [http://xkcd.com/70/ comic #70] it finally grew into the intelligent gag strip we all know and love.
* ''[[Megatokyo]]'' starts off as a fairly standard 4-panel comic with two video game guys getting into hijinks. It takes about fifty strips before it gets into the ridiculous multi-person romance and off-the-wall zombie-robot-Godzilla adventures at the same time.
* ''[[Brawl in the Family]]'' stars various Nintendo characters in wacky situations, such as [[Kirby|King Dedede]] in a parody of ''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (novel)|How the Grinch Stole Christmas]]''. It started out as one-trick pony sketches on [[GameFAQs]] about Kirby eating things.
* [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0647.html Lampshaded] in ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'': upon his reunion with Haley, Elan demonstrates unusual (for him) wisdom regarding outer appearances, and Haley mentions that she half-expected him to "grow a beard". And he has, figuratively speaking.
** It also grew a beard when the comic developed a story line instead of stand-alone gags about the rules of D&D.
