* In ''Deep Fried'', a long story arc has characters Beepo and Squints killed off, leaving Roadkill the cat as the only main character. After a while, Roadkill decides to find a new supporting cast, which leads to him being [[ItMakesSenseInContext in an abusive relationship with Lyman from]] ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}''. Desperate to restore the status quo, Roadkill tries a ritual that will resurrect Beepo, only for a demonic Lyman to interrupt. It turns out that the ritual has managed to create a tiny, incomplete homunculus. Lyman prepares to kill it, only for [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything a nationwide debate to erupt over the personhood of homunculi and whether killing them is murder.]] Finally Creator/DabneyColeman declares Beepo must live. The story ends with the gang gathered together, Beepo somehow restored to his adult self, Lyman mysteriously disappeared, and Squints inexplicably alive again. Beepo protests that this whole ending doesn't make any sense, but the rest of the friends are too happy to care.

* ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'':
** Fighter uses this to explain how he [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2004/05/13/episode-420-be-excellent-to-each-other/ survived being stabbed in the head by Black Mage]].
--->'''Black Mage:''' Your brain was pierced with a sharp stabbing implement. I was going to add to it today so it wouldn't look like an accident.\\
'''Fighter:''' Oh yeah, that was yesterday. This is today. I slept, it's cool.\\
'''Black Mage:''' And?!\\
'''Fighter:''' And now I'm better.
** This is, of course, because in most ''Final Fantasy'' games, characters are revived after a stay at an inn or the use of a tent. Not, however, in the first game, off of which the strip is based.
%%* Parodied in [[http://www.adventurers-comic.com/d/0049.html this]] early ''Webcomic/{{Adventurers}}''
* ''Webcomic/AnsemRetort'':
** Darth Maul had "gotten better" from his death in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' by the time he shows up in the comic. All he says about it is Obi-Wan got in a Hollywood cheap shot.
** Note that Riku getting better at the end of Season Six is NOT an example despite it looking to be. He says he's got an explanation.
* Happens in ''Webcomic/TheCartoonChroniclesOfConroyCat'', [[http://dtoons.com/conroy/2010/10/the-brat-came-back/ "The Brat Came Back"]].
* ''Webcomic/CaseyAndAndy'' featured "Two Mad Scientist Roommates Who Occasionally Die." Through a run of exactly 666 strips, this was lampshaded continuously, directly questioned by other characters numerous times (including {{Satan}}), and explained not once.
* In ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel'' Ethan jumped off a second or third-story fire escape in his underwear because according to video game logic if he's lighter he'll be less injured. He lands on concrete and winds up with about two inches of bone sticking out of his arm. He goes to the hospital and is sent home the same day (in real life he'd probably have to stay for at least one night's observation) with "Paaaaaaaiiiiiiiiin killers!" and a cast. The next comic he's featured in there's no evidence he was ever injured despite having a break that would've taken months to heal ([[WebComicTime then again...]]) and would've at least left a nasty scar.
* In ''Webcomic/DeadOfSummer'', [[spoiler: Ed]] returns at the end to save everyone, having last been seen in Book 1, drowning.
* In ''Webcomic/FreakAngels'': [[http://web.archive.org/web/20110411105218/http://www.freakangels.com/?p=646 "I don't want to say 'I got better' because it's a rotten cliche, but..."]]
* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'':
** Othar Tryggvassen (GentlemanAdventurer!). So far, he has been tossed out of an airship on three separate occasions, as well as dropped into a bottomless pit, and comes back each time with no real explanation. MadeOfIron doesn't even ''start'' to cover the bugger's inability to just die.
** Othar's repeated survival of freefall is explained in his canon Twitter Adventures: [[spoiler:He has rocket boots]]. Of course, this is only revealed when [[spoiler:he tries to use the boots to survive a fall and his suitcase blasts away to safety because he's not wearing them... He survives anyway, somehow (involving honey)]].
** Othar has become so infamous for this that in a later comic, Gil actually [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120305 takes advantage of it]] by making Othar accompany Tarvek when the latter has to escape an airship.
--->'''Gill:''' Don't worry, Othar here is the master of escape! He's always falling out of airships and stuff, so if you're with him, I ''know'' you'll get away! Oh, and let me know how he does it!
** During the same sequence, he [[NoSell emerges unscathed]] from having a seven-foot-tall super-soldier land on him feet-first thanks to "Special trousers. ''Very'' heroic."
* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' has the following exchange. Funnily enough the explanation is truer than not, as his ex ''is'' a red-headed macho mage lady, he ''did'' get transformed against his will due to someone being mad at him, and said transformation ''would'' have worn off on its own eventually without outside influence, because it was ''designed'' to do so. You'd think [[spoiler:a partial animal shapeshifter]] wouldn't be so quick to disregard such an explanation... though in his favor, he only knew about born-shapeshifters.
-->'''Sarah:''' He's not your cousin! He was a cat because... his ex-girlfriend was mad at him!\\
'''Hedge:''' What?\\
'''Sarah:''' Yeah! His ex is a crazy red-headed macho witch woman! She got mad, and turned him into a cat! ...he got better...\\
'''Hedge:''' Not buying it.
* The [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20070310.html return of Fructose Riboflavin]] in ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob''
* ''Webcomic/{{Irrelevator}}'' has this, they die and come back, often directly lampshaded. "Repeatedly coming back to life seems kind of unrealistic, don't you think?"
* ''Webcomic/{{Kagerou}}'' has this exchange:
-->'''Kano''': I think I died over there one time.\\
'''Starless''': Indeed.\\
'''Kano''': I got better.
* In the beginning of ''Webcomic/KidRadd'', [[{{Ninja}} Kobayashi's]] kill count is "one half."
--> '''Radd''': How did you "half" kill somebody?\\
'''Kobayashi''': Um, he got better.
* Ahbon from ''Webcomic/KissWood'' got crushed by a building, but he's later seen with only a broken arm.
* ''Webcomic/MegaTokyo'' has two; Ed who has been rebuilt from scraps by Sony twice (at least on screen, more times are implied), and [[spoiler: Miho, who was blown up quite thoroughly by Ed, and mourned by all of her 'followers', only to be found in a hospital by Yuki, using instructions Miho gave to Piro years earlier]].
* [[Webcomic/{{Niels}} Agent 300]] wasn't supposed to survived his introduction comic, and he's last seen in it with a pretty graphic head wound. But Creator/{{Humon}} liked him so much that he pops up completely unharmed in the next strip.
* [[http://www.forthewicked.net/archive/02-15.html Pointed out]] by a third character complete with LampshadeHanging in ''Webcomic/NoRestForTheWicked''.
* In ''Webcomic/NoRestForTheWicked'', November tells Perrault how Red had told her about being eaten by a wolf -- well, obviously she ''recovered.''
%%* Referenced in ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0793.html strip #793]].
* [[spoiler: Visage]] invokes this trope by name in [[http://pd.milkinthepantry.com/?strip_id=570 this strip]] of ''Parallel Dementia''.
* Tycho and Gabe of ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' have each died numerous times and come back without any explanation at all. Of course, the strip avoids continuity like a plague...
* In one strip of ''Webcomic/ThePetriDish'', a comic that usually has a solid continuity, Thaddeus Euphemism is seen as a skeleton after waiting for Bob to check the time on his phone. However, in the next strip, he's right as rain. It's possible that that skeleton wasn't the real Thaddeus as Bob did say, "Don't be so dramatic".
* Played for laughs in [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1815 this]] "Webcomic/QuestionableContent". (Not actually a ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' strip.)
* The dwarf killed in [[http://rustyandco.com/comic/1/ the very first strip]] of ''Webcomic/RustyAndCo'' (and eaten by a gelatinous cube) comes back in [[http://rustyandco.com/comic/40/ strip #40]], simply saying "I got better." Okay, not for long.... The [[WordOfGod FAQ]] section's answer to "Will we be seeing ''<character name>'' again?" is "Yes.", so...
* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'':
** Overall, while the comic has people regularly get healed from excessive amounts of deadly injury, it isn't ''unexplained'' recovery due to setting's medical technology being just that good. However, some occasions still apply or at least reference the trope.
** [[https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2002-08-03 Kevyn]] gave quite a surprise to his captain and ship's AI by having made a clone of himself before the original blowing himself up along with a bunch of military goons that were holding him hostage and were nearly about to kill him anyway.
** [[https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2002-10-02 Der Trihs]] claims he just got better after having parts of his brain removed and eaten by a torturer. Notably, the technology at the time was ''not'' equipped to easily restore brain damage like that. Later on, the explanation follows: the torture story is a cover-up, he was a test subject for military program that attempted to enhance his brain and instead partially broke it.
** Flinders "almost" murdered a guy, but she's claiming self-defense. Also, "[[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2011-12-13 he got better]]." She thought he was going to stay dead, but she was unaware of the super-secret HealingFactor nanomachines he had.
** Since then, limited application of those nanites has became mainstream technology. It became possible to restore people after their brain was lost as their memories are backed-up in the nanites spread through their body. [[spoiler:Murtaugh and Ebbirnoth needed to have a go with it.]] As well as making remote back-ups of people that can be used to recreate them from a case of complete and total disintegration. Schlock had been restored like that even before the technology made it available to more normal meat-made species, and [[spoiler:Captain Tagon needed such a recreation after his HeroicSacrifice, later followed by a sizeable chunk of the company, including Kevyn and Para after their ship got destroyed with them on board]].
* Once or twice in ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', the Old Year brought {{Death}} with him, when Death finally killed him. Death always got better. {{Justified}} because if Death didn't recover, [[LogicBomb there would be no death]].
* This seemed to apply to ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'''s [[FieryRedhead leggy redhead]] [[DarkActionGirl ninja assassin]] Oasis after she'd seemingly died at first. Later, it was proposed that she just had a really good chance of surviving due to superior physique -- only to have her clearly die and pop right back again. However, by then at the latest it became clear she can come BackFromTheDead for a mysterious reason that has been unrevealed for ages since -- it's a plot point how she does it, not just an un-{{justified|Trope}} joke or because StatusQuoIsGod as in this trope.
* ''Webcomic/TheSuburbanJungle'' has a character who got eaten more than a decade ago in ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'' turn up. He too "got better."
* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'': How did Baam not drown after hours at the bottom of the lake until they drained it?
* ''Webcomic/VGCats'' has [[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=271 this strip.]] His severed arms were also restored with no explanation.
-->'''Leo:''' You've got a TimeMachine?! You gotta let me use it!\\
'''Aeris:''' But... but I aborted you. From ''[[RetGone time]]''.\\
'''Leo:''' [[BeyondTheImpossible I got better.]]

It's finally explained by Joyce that she sent the resurrection chamber blueprints to a rival company as well as Mike's bloodstained shirt to thank him for saving her life. Making this the second time Joyce helped resurrect a SEMME agent through his bodily fluids.
* ''Webcomic/WonderMomo'': Ahiko[=/=]Amazonia is killed by [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity a power-tripping Momoko[=/=]Wonder Momo]] ripping out her power orb. Ahiko reappears about a dozen strips later; no explanation of how she survived OR got back to Earth. Ahiko changes the subject when someone tries to ask.
