* [[ShoutOut/{{Homestuck}} Homestuck]]
* ShoutOut/ElGoonishShive
----



* The title (not shown in the new website layout) of [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2008-07-21 this]] ''ElGoonishShive'' comic is an obvious shout out to the main character of fellow [[GenderBender gender-bending]] webcomic ''TheWotch''.

* ''{{Spinnerette}}'' has things like a security guard who pulls off a CrowningMomentOfAwesome showing up with "CMOA" on his jacket in his next appearance, and a Canadian superhero known as [[WarrenZevon The Werewolf of London, Ontario]]. Also, a villainess learns magic from a DungeonsAndDragons rulebook, and you would ''not believe'' how often Marvel and/or DC are mentioned (especially Marvel, because it's...kind of obvious the writer is a fan of SpiderMan).

** The superhero arc is an extended ShoutOut to various superhero characters and tropes, mostly obvious (Kingman is {{Superman}}, White Night is {{Batman}}), but also subtler (one storyline features [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/1752.htm Percivale as Kingman's lawyer]]; no mention is made of a heroic identity, but [[{{Daredevil}} he's blind]]).
*** The space arc's Ancient Greece is also full of superhero {{Shout Out}}s: Hercules is {{Superman}}, Arachne is {{Spider-Man}}, etc...

*ArthurKingOfTimeAndSpace:
** Many secondary characters are based on other comic characters, including Elaine of Carbonek, who is [[{{Narbonic}} Helen B. Narbon]], with her loyal knight Sir Bromell as Mell (a [[GenderFlip male Mell]] in the baseline arc).
** Merlin's magical incantations are [[{{Wingdinglish}} English phrases in Greek script]], usually from appropriate 20th century sources. For example, the incantation to [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/2004.htm trap someone in a cave]] is "[[WinnieThePooh Both please, but never mind the bread]]".
** Merlin's [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/2489.htm rambling when trapped in the Crystal Cave]] include insisting Gawaine is "unbalanced" with gold and silver in the same pouch, and something about oysters, just like SherlockHolmes in "The Adventure of the Dying Detective".

* AkumaTH has plenty of these, taking place in a MassivelyMultiplayerCrossover verse, but [[BigBad The Undertaker]] stands out as one big ShoutOut to... [[CaptainObvious well]], [[TheUndertaker guess]]. Other than the name, his sprites are recolors of {{Kane}}, his evil organization is called The Ministry, he [[http://www.mgcomics.com/AkumaTh/ATH/index.php?ep=1088370992 uses a chokeslam]] in his first appearance, and his finisher is called the [[http://www.mgcomics.com/AkumaTh/ATH/index.php?ep=1088371113 Super Tombstone]]. Which is like a regular Tombstone, only from ten feet up and [[IncendiaryExponent on fire]]. This gets lampshaded in this first appearance, where Akuma mistakes him for a Kane cosplayer.
--> '''Akuma:''' Nice Costume, but Kane doesn't wear a mask anymore...
