* As of December 2010, over 40% of the entire run of ''[[Dead Winter]]'' focused on the events of a single day.
* [[Bittersweet Candy Bowl]] had an entire summer arc... that took over a year.
* ''[[Something
* ''[[Books Don't Work Here]]'' As of [http://booksdontworkhere.thecomicseries.com/comics/60 Page 60] where this is [[Lampshaded]] the whole comic has taken place in one day. that same page also mentions that there will be two flashbacks coming before the day is done.
* ''[[Drowtales]]'' from [http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=242&overview=1&chibi=1&cover=1&extra=1&page=1&check=1 Chapter 3, Page 14] to (as of writing this) Chapter 28 takes place over only a few months of comic time, from the end of the school year to the Moon's End Festival.

*** Webcomic Time is even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2012-06-04 this comic]: "June 7th continues. Again. It will never end."
