Examples of Uncanny Valley/Web Comics include:
- While the Ctrl+Alt+Del characters look fine on paper they become horrible, twisting abominations when animated... and that's why they made an animated series based on it!
- Lampshaded in this Questionable Content strip.
- Also invoked in this strip, but we never actually see it. This is a good thing.
- Many webcomics that use CGI models turn out like this. House of the Muses is a prime example. Check out the last panel of this page if you dare...
- Suicide for Hire is a rare subversion of the logic behind Furries Are Easier to Draw. There's just something not right about the character faces...
- Almost any Poser-drawn comic. Poser simply has big problems with the Valley, since depending on the skill of the artist using it and the amount of time and money they're willing to invest in creating panels it can range from passable to downright horrifying.
- Unshelved presents: vegan food. Almost like real stuff... almost.
- Lil' Cal of Homestuck, who is described as being in "the Uncanny Laurentian Abyss". Really, though, if Mr. Hussie wishes to use this, you will know: for instance, a Diagram; a self-portrait intended to disturb; the Duttle... the list could go on and on.
- Kimiko Ross tends to cover her cyborg arm with a long sleeve because "it always creeped people out".
- At other times, its Fetish Fuel.
- Manly Guys Doing Manly Things explains the valley here from cartoon to creepy and back again,
- No Face from YU+ME: dream is an easily accomplished attempt at making something human, but disgustingly monstrous. He also eats hearts, just to add to the (puneriffic) Nightmare Fuel.
- Part the appeal of Order of the Stick is that it inverts uncanny valley by having cartoon stick figures who are clearly unrealistic looking while showing human qualities, which endears readers to them.
- In Starslip, the attempts of the ameboid Dahk to look human are... less than appealing to say the least.
