Some Webcomics break the fourth wall. And some webcomics smash the fourth wall to pieces, stomp those pieces to smaller pieces, and dance across the rubble. These are those comics.
Feel free to add comics to the list in alphabetical order. All links should be Wiki Words, even if we don't have a page for the comic yet, or you'll break the new indexing system. If a page is added for a work, please remove the external link.
- Zero Zero Zero This Comic Appears First Alphabetically: A comic about the same comic being drawn, but from the inside. It was supposed to be a story about a bean-thing and a bat-thing as they search for a home, but that broke down very quickly once they discovered the author, who has been spying on them and drawing what they do.
- 1/0: One of the single most thought-provoking reality experiments ever to grace the web. No Fourth Wall doesn't come close to describing what the author Tailsteak has done. Including physics. Not to mention that the characters are fascinating in their own right.
- Two Gamerz A webcomic similar to VG Cats, but also includes anime and many internet-related topics.
- APT Comic - The adventures of a reality-warping Cat Girl named Ammika and her Sonic the Hedgehog fan character sidekick Inferno, who looks nothing like Shadow. Along the way, they go through places like Dreamland and Pekopon. It's chock full of Tropes.
- Bob and George: A Mega Man parody Sprite Comic. It earns a place on this list for introducing an avatar of Dave Anez, who interacts with the characters as the omnipotent Author of the comic.
- Books Don't Work Here: Written by Kai Faydale, The story of a webcomic actress and the challenges she has to face. You know imaginary scripts, unreliable narrators, plot holes, meta walls, wacky physics, mad science, and convincing people to pay her for any of it.
- Checkerboard Nightmare: Written by Kris Straub, the self-referential adventures of Checkerboard Nightmare, and his never-ending attempts to improve the readership of his webcomic, Checkerboard Nightmare (starring Checkerboard Nightmare). This premise allowed the comic to reference (then-)current happenings in webcomics, and address topics like Fan Fiction and genre strips, always with a satirical edge. It ran from late 2000 to late 2005, and then some.
- Circuit: Is Luke Pola's philosophical adventure staring a computer processor and a computer fan.
- Conventional Wisdom: a webcomic about anime conventions. As the comic is about going to conventions, and the artists goes to conventions in order to draw comics, it's not uncommon to end up with comics about drawing comics.
- Creative Release: An interactive story (readers can input data that the author reacts to in her writing). Contains a lot of apples.

- End Of Infinity: The author breaks the fourth wall repeatedly to order the characters around, and they are influenced directly by reader suggestion in the form of submitted Telegrams.
- Filth Biscuit: Public domain Golden Age comics rewritten to comment upon or parody the original comics' genres, tropes, and cultural shortcomings. Abounds with everything from puerile humor to political comedy.
- Flying Man And Friends [1]
: Has a strange tendency to have characters interact with the panel as if it were actually the... face... of the viewer. In particular, sometimes characters press against the panel as if they were smothering the reader.
- Fontes' Rants
- The Fourth Wall: A gag-per-day comic about Ric, Greg, and their numerous fourth-wall-breaking adventures. Come on now, with that title, what else it could it possibly be about?

- Fredo And Pidjin [3]: Note how the old frames around the images subtly betray that the fourth wall was broken before a redesign of the website.
- Girls Next Door: A Roommates spin-off. Starring Sarah Williams and Christine Daaé with as many if not more crossovers than the parent series, and some characters, who read the this very comic, or threaten to brick up the fourth wall.
- Greystone Inn: A webcomic about the making of a comic, and the adventures of the comic's "cast" on and off the set.
- HATEFARM: Absurdist, obscene and sometimes offensive humor.
- Hello Earthling: Breaks the fourth wall for a good quarter of the jokes. It's pretty much a meta comic that's trying to be Slice of Life, but just can't manage it without falling into the pits and perils created by the character design and style. Doubtless, if the author had given them hands, the comic would not be what it is today.
- How Not to Run a Webcomic
- Irregular Webcomic!: Specifically the "Me" theme, in which David Morgan-Mar tries to be as self-referential as humanly possible.
- Irrelevator: The fourth wall is nonexistant from the very first comic, but it's not often they pay much attention to it at all.
- Karate Bears:is often very abstract
- Kurumi's After Hours. Puns, nihilistic dogs, yuri subtext, fanservice, and more puns. It's awesome.
- Lets Be Friends Again: Has a fourth wall, but often takes as its subject the creation of the comic itself and the squabbles between the writers.
- Life of Wily: The characters are portrayed as Animated Actors, and the first story arc begins because one of the main characters is desperate to not get fired from the strip. A lot of the characters also engage in Self-Deprecation about the comic.
- Manga Gaga: A comic author had to deal with all the incoherency of his own crazy comic.
- A Moment of Peace: A post-apocalyptic romantic Slice of Life that involves monsters and gods. Includes many fourth-wall teasing moments including characters using the panel-borders as slides and a shy monster being frightened by the audience.

- The People In My Head [4]: Featured the artist and her characters discussing the comic about the artist and her characters.
- Pessimistic Sense Of Inadequacy: Has two main webcomic-aware characters, added a third (who didn't start as WCA, but became WCA during the Crossover Wars), plus the comic's author appears in the comic, and has more cameo strips than non-cameo strips.
- Oddly enough, the actual author has said he wants to tone that down, and make it less of a fourth-wall breaking comic ... which might take at least 100 more episodes (or about two years ... 50/50 says it'll never happen).
- qxlkbh: A Troperiffic Metafiction comic in which the authors appear as characters and get to exercise their authorial powers In-Universe.

- Reporterz: A Sprite Comic partly inspired by the aforementioned Bob and George, where the characters have regular contact with their author and explore different universes.
- Roommates Stars Jareth and Erik as roommates, with many other characters from fiction in the cast. The movies exist as both "real" past for them and actual movies, characters discuss tropes in their lives and fiction, and dead characters know they've died but suffer no effects.
- Sire: When split personalities Anna and Susan Enfield realize that they're descended from Edward Hyde, they find a haven of individuals who live and die by the rules of fiction. Turns out that knowing you're in a story can allow you to do some interesting things...
- Sketch Comedy: the absurdist interactions of a cartoonist with his creation.
- This Aventure Is My Very Own Intillectual Property: An MS Paint Fanventure about copyright, where things and even people that aren't either fair use or made by the creator becoming pixellated to avoid an existential threat. The closest character to a Big Bad knows about all of this.
- This Is A Shitty Webcomic: A shitty webcomic. About shitty characters who know they're in a shitty webomic. The very first strip has the yet-to-be-named protagonist simply telling the readers that it is a shitty webcomic.

- The Way of the Metagamer: Start with No Fourth Wall, have your characters walk behind the panels and read each other's speech bubbles, then get them jumping out of the work entirely through plot holes. Yeah. This example of Infinite Canvas has received particular praise, as noted in the comments.
