Webcomic readers/artists have been known to create their own memes, which are usually adapted from other sources and printed in comic form.
Webcomics with their own subpage:
- Homestuck (It has all the memes. All of them.)
- One-Punch Man (OK.)
Please add entries in the following format:
- The name of the webcomic.
- The meme. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The explanation behind the meme, if necessary.[[/labelnote]] Explanation
- Further mutations and successor memes, if any.
- Several of the character depictions in The Last Days of FOXHOUND seem to be trying for meme status, in that characters are exaggerated to one-note, bewildering absurdity. One example is that of Psycho Mantis, who, in his original appearance, showed something of a disdain for reproduction and possibly sex in general, whereas in the comic, he is shown to go as far as to run around screaming when he is told that a cup of coffee was made by a girl.
- However, the comic toned-down gag characterizations once it started becoming more plotty.
- That aside, '''I'M COVERED IN BEES!'''
- Not to forget: Trope naming Chronic Backstabbing Disorder.
- Shortpacked! Has spawned several memes to do with Batman, including "I can breathe in space" as well as associating Frank Miller (writer of Sin City) with "whoreswhoreswhoreswhoreshoreswhores".
- Funky CancerCancer.
- PvP combined Bats' Parental Abandonment issues with his badassitude and occasional Wangst to give us the instant classic "MY PARENTS ARE DEAD!" strip.
- "I'm Batman."
- Recently, Gleeful Robin (a shot of Robin fangirling over Mike about to propose to Amber) has been photoshopped into the background of many other comics.
- Red Hood and the Outlaws: "I'm bored. Show me your penis."
- Fans have taken to referring to Ken in the comments by the names of Street Fighter characters... except the one whose name he shares.
- Queen of Wands has a pretty enthusiastic following for the Vagina Dentata song. NSFW and pretty brainbreaky.
- Nazi science sneers at Irregular Webcomic! being absent from this list!
- Also, the Allosaurus, especially as an answer to the site's ever-changing poll questions. How far this meme has spread is impossible to track, though, since the Google results it generates are buried under a bunch of irrelevant paleontological hits.
- "I'm Jane freakin' Goodall!"
- Thanks to The Perry Bible Fellowship and 4chan, "weeaboo" is now Western slang for "wapanese".
- Pro Skub / Anti-Skub!
- From this comic. There's no way to know what skub really is or why people would fight about it, making it an image board meme for things that cause unnecessary rage.
- A variation of this has become a catch-phrase on the video game blog Destructoid. Also, cocks.
- Pro Skub / Anti-Skub!
- Penny Arcade:
- DEEPCROW! A creature dreamed up for a single comic has been drawn, statted as a monster for several tabletop RPGs, and now has been forcibly evolved using Spore.
- The meme briefly collided with the Touhou Project fandom when the final boss of the eleventh game turned out to be a deepcrow. (Well, kind of one.)
- WHY AM I SO BALD
- AND WHY AM I SO PIG-LIKE IN APPEARANCE
- Tycho and Gabe were not intended as Author Avatars, but so many fans assumed they were that Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik made them so, though they still don't resemble them. Most obviously, Holkins is bald and Tycho has a full head of hair; the meme comes from 4chan Remix Comics about the disparity. As for "pig-like", that's a joke about Krahulik's nose.
- BEHOLD! I NOW WEAR THE HUMAN PANTS!
- "I smolder with generic rage."
- DEEPCROW! A creature dreamed up for a single comic has been drawn, statted as a monster for several tabletop RPGs, and now has been forcibly evolved using Spore.
- Before this Darths & Droids strip went up, the phrase "Jar Jar, you're a genius" did not appear anywhere on the Internet. As of 12 days later, Google gave "about 3560" hits. There are now around 558,000.
- "I cast Summon Bigger Fish!"
- "Where are the space dreadnoughts bristling with atomic missiles? Bring on the space dreadnoughts bristling with atomic missiles!!"
- Something*Positive is often credited with popularizing "ROCKS FALL! EVERYONE DIES!"
- Please remember to spay/neuter your Cat Girl.
- Kingās fanon tea obsession has become this for the MiasWorld fandom. Explanation
- According to A Miracle of Science, Brazil has decided you're cuteExplanation .

- "Sudo make me a sandwich."Explanation
- "Someone is wrong on the internet!"Explanation
- "You will not go to space today."Explanation
- Roller coaster chess.Explanation
- Today's lucky ten thousand. Explanation
- Some of the memes emerged from the offcial forums:
- xkcd is always relevant.
- "GET OUT OF MY HEAD, RANDALL!"Explanation
- "Not cool, Randall. My grandmother, dog, and garden were all killed by memes. Not cool, not funny, not a good comic."
- "This cheese is burning me!"Explanation
- The Non-Adventures of Wonderella: My home planet is dead!"
- Multiple people and even other webcomics have edited or imitated a key panel from Ctrl+Alt+Del's Convenient Miscarriage Story Arc, either to emphasize the Narm of the original comic or for Black Comedy. This has gotten to the point where giving the Internet an image composition tool of any kind is equally as likely to result in a Loss parody as it is in porn. Some examples.
- Abused to the point where one strip had the artist just say "You know what"
- One popular mutation uses a minimalist description of the comic's four panels: a vertical line, two vertical lines, two vertical lines, and a vertical and a horizontal line.
- Sandra and Woo's Loss parody was made in much better taste.
- Speaking of Ctrl+Alt+Del... B^U
- Wordswordswordswordswordswords.
- Also "The miscarriage is often much harder on the man then the woman"◊, with appropriate substitutions such as "The death of the DPSer is often harder on the tank."◊
- Tim Buckley: As I was walking past the [reflective object], I caught sight of something beautiful. It was me!
- Dominic Deegan:
- Praise be to Lord Dominus, for he is the all-knowing! Explanation
- Stunt's head. One size fits all.
- Ah, Stunt's head. It's just like Bumper's head, only smaller and without the killing.
- Without the killing? Someone is going to pay for this outrage!
- "Jazz Hands", especially on Something Awful
- Death isn't Zombies.
- Gunnerkrigg Court: Nobody likes Boxbot.
- To the extent that the first Remix Comic thread on the forum is almost solely devoted to photoshopping Boxbot into other scenes, thereby "ruining" them.
- Everyone loves Robox.
- THE SADDEST FACE!
- After this comic the second Remix Comic thread was born.
- MYSTERY SOLVED! Explanation
- "Fap fap fap." Although Sexy Losers didn't invent this widespread onomatopoeia for masturbation (that would be the VIZ Media translation of the Manga Heartbroken Angels), this webcomic did introduce it to the Internet and popularize it through frequent use.
- As well as the female version, "Schlick schlick schlick."
- Also: "Glurkle" note
- Schlock Mercenary brings us The Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries — particularly Maxim 37: There is no overkill, there is only "open fire" and "I need to reload".
- Ominous hummmmmmmmm.
- The fact that Kevyn spends most of his professional career with an antimatter bomb floating above his shoulder.
- While editing the comic with other ones for humorous effect is a proud tradition in the AZ forums, the only one to spread to the rest of the internet are the ones featuring mash ups of Spare the Rod, with the last panel being a spectacular recent failure
- If someone had combined this with the miscarriage CAD strip, the internet might have imploded.
- Nothing Nice to Say had a brief story arc that involved the comic getting taken over by two straw men of the more backwards participants in the punk scene. The resulting Stylistic Suck strips had Fletcher and Blake calling every band they could think of "selloutz!" or "gay selloutz!" and asking "amirite?" after. It caught on, especially on the comments section of punknews.org where people still follow many jokes about bands with "amirite?" (It might actually have been picked up from 4chan.)
