* Antimony from ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' has been compared a few times to [[Harry Potter|that other orphan with strange powers who attends a strange boarding school]]. Tom Siddell is too much of a gentleman to make fun of another author, so guest comic author [http://www.afterstrife.com/ Ali Graham] [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=297 did it for him.]

** Tom Siddell reserves his [[Deadpan Snarker|snark]] for ''the Internet''. See [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=396 this page] and the explanatory note below.

Line 39:

* ''[[Achewood]]'' took potshots at stereotypically mediocre fantasy and furry webcomics hosted at places like Keenspot in [http://achewood.com/index.php?date=01172005 this strip.] Their activities are so poorly conveyed.

* Kris Straub's ''[[Chainsawsuit]]'' has done multiple Take Thats against other comics in the span of a few updates.

* ''[[~~Xkcd~~]]'' has parodied ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' twice. The two comics are [http://xkcd.com/50/ here] and [http://xkcd.com/160/ here]. But from the ending of the second and the [[Alt Text]] of the first, they definitely go into [[Affectionate Parody]] rather than [[Take That]].

Line 105:

* ''[[Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic]]'' reminds: [http://yafgc.net/?id=1986 be thankful for small gifts of Fate] (hey, at least they don't [[Twilight|sparkle]]).

* ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' had [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2006-02-19 an arc] involving an [[Expy]] of ''[[What Not to Wear]]''. The host had a misfortune to accost a [[Super Soldier|boosted]] and [[Tsundere|rather irritable]] mercenary. Naturally, it wasn't long before she "[[You Put the X In XY|put]] ''assault'' back in ''Glamour Assault''".

* {{color|#929292|uranianUmbra}} (UU) and {{color|#323232|undyingUmbrage}} (uu) of ''[[Homestuck]]'' are widely believed to be jabs at two sectors of the HS fandom. UU represents the fans who obsess over it, doing fanart etc. and trying to drag their friends into reading HS. By contrast, uu represents the impatience and rage of fans whenever [[Andrew ~~Hussie|~~Hussie]] ''dares'' take more than 24 hours to update, as well as spluttering intolerance of the fans represented by UU.
