* ''[[A Moment of Peace]]'' runs off of these.
* [http://www.faans.com/books1-6/index.php?p=1610 This] ''Fans!'' strip is a good example.
** And the final panel of the final story of the first run, [http://www.faans.com/books1-6/index.php?p=1625 here].
Line 137 ⟶ 81:
* [http://www.gigaville.com/comic.php?id=479 This page] of ''[[Last Days Of FOXHOUND]]''.
** [http://www.gigaville.com/comic.php?id=360 This one, too.] It defines Liquid's [[Character Development]] perfectly, in such a way that [[Tear Jerker|you feel guilty about]] [[Foregone Conclusion|killing him later.]]
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20131023130238/http://www.sincomics.com/index.php?537 This page] of ''[[Sins]]'', when Pride [[Write Back to the Future|receives mail]] from Jin, the youngest, sweetest, and most innocent host of the sins, to her demonic foster family.
* ''[[Cheer]]!'': [https://web.archive.org/web/20150309184314/http://www.cheercomic.com/?date=2006-12-02 "I can't follow you this time...But I'll be in the crowd, cheering... Even if you can't hear me...I'll be cheering...] Altogether now: Awwwwwwwwww!!!!!! ([[Les Yay|And]] [[Squee]]!)
* ''Exploding Dog'', when it's not being ridiculously funny or gory (or both), has had a lot of these. Case in point: [http://explodingdog.com/title/areyoulostorincomplete.html this one].
Line 149 ⟶ 93:
* ''[[Starslip Crisis]]'' has [http://www.starslip.com/archive/20090107.shtml Mennon's secret sacrifice]{{Dead link}}. He sacrifices the only chance he has to see his love ever again by using it to save his crew and their families.
* The Duck's rescue of the protagonist of ''[[HERO (Webcomic)|HERO]]'' and his friend Valentine never fails to make this troper ''awwww''. Especially when it starts ''[http://invisiblecities.comicgenesis.com/127.html singing off-key]''.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20101103020707/http://www.stripteasecomic.com/d/20061218.html This] ''Striptease'' comic. The main character Max has been seen wearing the same shirt since the very first strip, and it is easily overlooked. The author reveals its symbolism in a flashback to an ex-girlfriend he had back in college. The best part? {{spoiler|He does it to give his Alli, his on-and-off girlfriend and main rival in the comic industry a chance to continue her comic at the cost of his entire career.}}
* ''[[Slightly Damned]]''. Buwaro, a demon, deciding to use his adoptive angel father's last name even though he doesn't remember a thing about him.
** {{spoiler|Said Buwaro confessing his love to Kieri, an angel. And her response.}}
* [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=4&p=001600 This] page of ''[[Problem Sleuth]]''. So touching it actually warmed the final boss's heart. This troper also finds [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130826072238/http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=4&p=000997 this] strangely heartwarming as well.
* ''[[Kevin and Kell]]'''s moment is when the human Danielle, now changed into her rabbit counterpart in that world, is having trouble fitting in considering that she is still an omnivore that freaks out nearly everyone when she forgets to hide it. Looking for a kindred spirit, she finds young Coney, a bunny kitten who is a carnivore herself. Cradling her when the kitten is sleeping peacefully on her lap, Danielle notes "Psst, You have a human soul in there too, don't you? In that case, I'll stay."
* ''[[Captain SNES]]'' has a moment. Hey stop snickering! It's true! When talking about the events in Nexus, Alex's Capator has problem saying the word died. Alex goes on to mock him about it not being a curse word even if it is a four letter word. The Capator admits that it scares him...Which leads to Alex aplogizing to him. D'aaaaaaaw.
** [http://www.captainsnes.com/2009/07/17/582-wave-of-hope/ Wave of Hope]. Even if it can't magically fix ''everything'', it shows that Videoland's decay isn't irreversible, and things ''can'' be like they were again.
Line 184 ⟶ 127:
** [http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/12/23/since-weve-no-place-to-go/ Two of the] [http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/12/28/so-as-not-to-leave-you-hanging/ last comics] in the storyarc "It's a Wonderful Dog's Life".
** This troper suggests [http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/09/04/i-dare-you-to-do-otherwise/ this page].
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20131226151040/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1233&overview=1&chibi=1&cover=1&extra=1&page=1&check=1 This] absolutely beautiful [[Drowtales]] strip. Don't miss Naal's little "Silly" on the right, or her smile. (Link may not work after edits--it's near the end of chapter 24).
* Shockingly, there is one in [[Ow, My Sanity]], a fusion of ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' and the [[Cthulhu Mythos]]. In this scen from chapter five of book one, [[Eldritch Abomination|Nancy]] has her first incounter with "fear," [[Captain Obvious|This unusual for her.]] Observe what [http://owmysanity.comicgenesis.com/d/20100604.html Keiichi-Expy David] [http://owmysanity.comicgenesis.com/d/20100607.html does]. [http://owmysanity.comicgenesis.com/d/20100608.html D'awwww!]
* Left-Handed Toons: [http://www.lefthandedtoons.com/799/ Just take a moment to read it.] {{spoiler|"...Son? Did you know...that '''I love you'''?" "Dad!" "Son!" * picture fluttering down* }}
* [[Sequential Art (webcomic)|Sequential Art]]: [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=464 They made Scarlett cry.] [[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|They. Must. Pay.]]
* In [[Boxer Hockey]], the entire flashback to Rittz and Skip meeting as kids is touching, but [https://web.archive.org/web/20140117204120/http://boxerhockey.fireball20xl.com/?id=141 this moment] in particular is just incredible.
* Ah, ''[[Ansem Retort]]'', home to [[Dead Baby Comedy]], extreme crassness, nonsensical plots, [[Crosses the Line Twice|tap-dancing along lines]], [[Villain Protagonist|Villain Protagonists]]... and [https://web.archive.org/web/20140105223133/http://www.ansemretort.org/ansemretort/index.html?comic=562 one scene of the main character and his wife walking along a peaceful street, arms around each other, at the end of another season.] More proof that if anything runs long enough, eventually something sweet is going to sneak in around the corners, whether or not the author wants it to.
* [http://i33.tinypic.com/24142zp.jpg Hug.]{{dead link}}{{context|reason=What work is this from?}}
* ''[[Original Life]]'': [http://www.jaynaylor.com/originallife/archives/2010/09/136.html Last two panels.] Guess who gets to put her ideas into practice?
* [[Ménage à 3]]: Yuki has recently stated, despite her phobia, she wants to try and work through it for Gary.

* Many pages of [[Bittersweet Candy Bowl]], such as [http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c12/p30.html this one].
* For Humon's [[Scandinavia and The World]], there's [http://humon.deviantart.com/gallery/?q=danish+princess#/d30iul7 this.] Full stop.
Line 205 ⟶ 148:
* [[Impure Blood]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20140101214718/http://www.impurebloodwebcomic.com/Pages/Chapter007/ib041.html Elnor persuades Roan to help her] -- looks like the beginning of friendship.
* Pauline's funeral service in ''[[Our Little Adventure]]'' was very nice. It was kept fairly light-hearted and tasteful and ended with Julie's [[Narm Charm|cute little parody song]] of "When She Loved Me" by Sarah Mclachlan as she and the adventuring group saw Pauline's ashes fly away back toward her home island.
* [http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/OfCourseHeWont.png This] strip of ''[[Webcomic/PtitletswcoMurphy's 1Law hy(webcomic)|Murphy's Law]]'' which shows not only Matt's but Radic's character development also manages to be one of these.
* In [[Dubious Company]], Tiren changes allegiances to the Imperial Guard. Some later [[Navel Gazing]] ends in [https://web.archive.org/web/20130103044727/http://dubiouscompany.com/comics/2008/11/18 this strip]. The moment carries on for the next 5 or 6 pages.
* In ''[[Erstwhile]]'', [https://web.archive.org/web/20131004072148/http://www.erstwhiletales.com/maidmaleen-33/#.T29_k9m6SuI when Maid Maleen admits to the prince that she's Maid Maleen].
