''[[http://litbrick.com/ Lit Brick]]'' is a webcomic about "sequential comedies of literature", written and drawn by John Troutman. The webcomic follows a story-within-a-story pattern: The main characters are a girl named Molly and her friends. Most of the comic's content, however, is a webcomic about public domain literature that Molly draws. These comics are satirical retellings of works such as Shakespeare's plays, ancient mythology, and texts about King Arthur. The characters are also "played" by different members of the main cast, meaning that some roles are slightly tweaked.

* ArtEvolution: Not so big a change as in some cases, but compared to [[http://litbrick.troutcave.net/comic.php?date=2010-04-05 her first appearance]], Molly [[http://litbrick.troutcave.net/comic.php?date=2012-01-27 has become better proportioned]].
* AttractiveBentGender: Averted at first, in the trickster tale of the wolverine. When he turns himself into a human woman, at first he just looks like [[ShoutOut Hugh Jackman in drag]]. Played straight when the wolverine realizes that there's no way he can get a human man to marry him this way, so he transforms [[ShoutOut into a woman that looks like X-23]].

Troutman also does adaptations of more modern works of literature, on commission.

After a very short-lived canceling of the webcomic, Troutman now updates on a more or less regular basis, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
