* ''Boner's Ark'', a gag-a-day strip about Captain Boner and the various animals on his ark. (Noah had it easy - Boner's ark was on the sea for 32 years, only reaching dry land in the final strip.)
* ''ComicBook/JustAPilgrim'': the role of the ark is taken by a space shuttle containing genetic sequences of thousands of animals so life can be started elsewhere, as the planet is now under the control of sentient mind-controlling jellyfish.
* In Jules Feiffer's satirical "The Deluge," an installment of his ''Feiffer'' comic strip for the ''Village Voice'', an angel instructs U.S. civil servant Harvey Noah to build an ark. Instead of doing so himself, he takes the matter to his supervisor. This starts a bureaucratic chain of events which culminates in the ark housing only selected members of Congress. As it starts to rain, Harvey attempts to board the vessel, only to be told he's not on the list.

[softreturn] Basically, The [[spoiler:Aegis ]]Project was just a front for a secret Ark Project [[spoiler:which involved a certain MacguffinGirl being some sort of key that will give Johaness [[AGodAmI the power of God]]]], where a select few population were to be shipped to the moon while the rest of the world are to be nuked to oblivion along with the aragami. it should be noted though that the one who planned all this [[NoPlaceForMeThere had no intention of being with the ones to repopulate the earth]] though, knowing well how extreme [[spoiler:his]] actions are.
