Webcomics will often have a separate series of strips featuring characters and/or situations outside of the main storyline. These may be used as Filler Strips, a form of Breather Episode, or a Formula-Breaking Episode. Back in the Golden Age of Newspaper Comics, when Sunday comic strips each took up a whole page of the newspaper, they were often accompanied by "toppers", which served much the same purpose, making this Older Than Television. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The "topper" best remembered today is Krazy Kat, which originated as a set of strips under the main action in a 1910 strip known variously as The Dingbat Family and The Family Upstairs (making it a "bottomer", I suppose, though let's all agree never to use that term again). According to Don Markstein, Krazy spun off into his (or her) own strip in 1913, while the Dingbats passed from the comics page in 1916. See also Omake, Yonkoma. |

Sluggy Freelance has had such B-Side Comics as "Bikini Suicide Frisbee Days" (aka, back in the good old days before plot locked up the characters in specific situations) and "Meanwhile in the Dimension of Pain", drawn by guest artists. The latter actually ended up affecting the main story. It has also has an ongoing side story called "Stick Figures in Space", which is used as filler. | |

"Penny Arcade" has a few B-Side comics: "Twisp and Catsby" and "The Cardboard Tube Samurai" evolved from strips in the main continuity to their own identity. There was a series of three (link) treatments of B-Side comics with a poll to determine which gets developed more: "Lookouts", "Automata", and "Jim Darkmagic". It was popular enough that both "Lookouts" and "Automata" got additional strips. | |

The Chef Brian, Players and Gamer's Glossary strips in Ctrl+Alt+Del. In fact, Ctrl+Alt+Del often has a few gag comics between Story Arcs. And now the "sillies" are in a separate part of the site. |
