Parody: Terror Islandtheorem 099 ends with a caption saying "Cliffhanger!" but it was resolved in two days, which is the usual time between strips.
Whether on purpose or not, Misfile's weekend breaks usually fall just as it seems some new tidbit of plot information will be revealed or that something exiting will happen. Fans of the comic have taken to calling them "Chrishangers," after the artist.
The author of the webcomic Sequential Art recently managed to pick the most irritating part to his break with the comic.
Then comes the end of Act 6 Act 6 Intermission 2, a massive cliffhanger on just about every front conceivable... followed by the announcement that there would only be one more update, which would begin with Act 6 Act 6 Act 3 and end with Act 7, and for which (it was announced some time later) a six month hiatus would almost certainly be an underestimate.
Chapter 27 of Gunnerkrigg Court (which updates Mon/Wed/Fri) ended on a Wednesday, as the main character is caught past curfew. Friday was the chapter bonus page, and Monday the title page of chapter 28, meaning readers had to wait a full week to see a resolution.
Dan of El Goonish Shive likes to use this a lot. Especially on Fridays as one has to wait 2 days for a resolution.
Dungeon Crawlin' Fools: The Order defeat Xykon and destroys the dungeon they'd spent the entire story up to that point in and assume their quest is finished — completely unaware that Xykon's Soul Jar survived and escaped the dungeon with his chief minions, the Linear Guild also escaped from prison, and that a mysterious figure (later revealed to be the Paladin Miko Miyazaki) has been sent to confront them over the Gate they destroyed with the dungeon.
No Cure For The Paladin Blues: The Order now know the importance of the Gates and are preparing to track down and protect the others; meanwhile, Xykon (who the heroes have only just learned is still alive) has assembled an army of hobgoblins and is preparing to march on Azure City (where the Order currently is) and take their Gate by force, while Nale and the Guild plot their revenge against the Order.
War and XPs: In what may be the largest cliffhanger yet, the hobgoblins have overrun Azure City, Roy is dead, and the Order has been scattered. And on top of that, we see Kubota plotting against Hinjo with the aid of a mysterious figure standing off panel; this new antagonist's identity Qarr the imp isn't revealed until well into the next arc.
Don't Split The Party: A subtler cliffhanger than the previous ones; the Order is reunited and is going after the next Gate, but as they do V's Familiar Blackwing reveals to him/her what he saw in the rift of the Snarl's prison — a planet.
Blood Runs In The Family: The Snarl has begun to emerge from its prison, and the Order is completely unaware that Durkon's vampire body has been taken over by the High Priest of Hel.
'Seasons' of Ansem Retort usually end on a cliffhanger meant to lead into the next season:
Season 1: The cast defeats the FOX president, but Sora now has godlike powers.
Season 2: The cast splits up and goes into hiding after Namine's meddling accidentally awakens Sora's powers, alerting Xemnas to his existence.
Season 3: Zexion is still in the middle of his campaign for governor and Larxene has disappeared (as we find out later, Xemnas lured her away to have her aid in his plans).
Season 5: is the only one not to end on a cliffhanger, as it centers around the reception for Axel and Aerith's wedding.
Season 6: Xemnas convinced Red XIII to Face–Heel Turn and they've kidnapped Sora and traveled back in time to change history.
Season 7: is covered below as this one never gets resolved.
Unresolved Cliffhangers:
Season 7 of Ansem Retort's cliffhanger was the cast discovering that a dueling show called Shibuya Shore has premiered, threatening their ratings. Ansem Retort ceased updating midway through Season 8.
Fabuland Housewives' second season opens up with a slew of new mysteries and a sudden murder of one of the main characters. It then ceased updating after the first episode.
Hemlock: Chapter 5 ends with Simo killing Tristan and Lumi being dragged screaming away by his soldiers. The webcomic then went on a multi-year hiatus as the writer tries to find the time to work on it while working and she prefers to update only when she has a whole chapter ready to go.
Not all cliffhangers on Kevin & Kell are resolved. When Francis Fennec was born as an indeterminate furry critter, mother and former human Danielle Fennec said she would only ever return to the human side of the portal if she needed to for Francis' sake. That was in late 2006. 15 years real-time (with Francis being aged 7), in 2021, that has not yet come to pass, even though he has shed his fur and become an actual human.
Our World: Chapter 4 (the last published) ends with the four main characters together with three more, escaping the secret base on an aircraft and then their aircraft explodes near the Antarctic shore. Then the creators took a break, which never ended.
Unsounded: The push to liberate Grenzlan in the final chapter of Book I cuts away right as an injured Lemuel is surrounded by the puppeted corpses of his former comrades and the civilians they slaughtered in taking the city. Ashley has confirmed Grenzlan will not be seen again before the book is finished, and invited readers to imagine for themselves what happens next. Lemuel's fate will likely be revealed eventually, as his family are confirmed major players in the upcoming Book II.
