So you've gotten really good at drawing your character. Only thing is, you draw him the same way every time. And if you try to change the angle, it no longer looks anything like your original character. So you draw a few more characters. And have the same problem. Pretty soon you have a cast of five, eight, 12 characters, but only one pose each. Maybe you get lucky and manage three or four poses each. Still, nothing like the range you'd need to draw your own comic, right? Welcome to the world of cut-and-paste. If you manage to get these pictures onto your computer (or create them there in the first place), you can pop 'em into any decent graphics program (including something as simple as MS Paint) and make your comic. You can create panels, either by hand or in Comic Life, and put your characters into them, even flip your characters to make it look like you drew twice as many poses. Out comes your comic, ready to publish on your homepage. Of course, without the skills to pull off those awesome Marvel graphics, you'll need to make up for it with an interesting premise, a well chosen setting and plenty of good jokes/drama. Believe it or not, many do just that. Not to be confused with Identical Panel Gag, which is the punctual copy-and-paste of panels for comic effect. Sprite Comics are a variation on the Cut-and-Paste Comic, as are most Pixel Art Comics. Compare and Contrast Bottle Episode. |

Sluggy Freelance reuses art occasionally, but subtly enough that it doesn't stand out unless the repetition is itself the basis of a joke. An in-universe example is when Torg attempts to create "The Greatest Comic Book of All Time". It's just a single piece of artwork reused in various ways. |

MS Paint Adventures in general, actually. Though as an ersatz video game, it's quite justified in doing so. Additionally, several of the flash animations in Homestuck re-use/modify images from earlier pages so as to make animating easier/faster (most notably in the deliberately bad [S] Vriska: Watch street tough maverick with nothing to lose). Indeed, Hussie has noted that his employment of this technique ties into his love of the Meaningful Echo to create a sort of "language" within the text, with the reuses more often than not being intended as a Meaningful Echo to an earlier scene with similar (or sometimes completely opposite) events. For example, Jack Noir's dog-head silhouette appearing from above main characters quickly became very effective shorthand for "Time to panic!" Problem Sleuth lampshades this here. |

Achewood creator Chris Onstad is known for copying and pasting much of the content of his strip (as he points out referencing a series of mostly empty panels with only a couple of speech bubbles and characters, "This is usually what my screen looks like around two a.m. the day a strip is due."). Strangely, this actually contributes to the subtle comedic effect of the strip, allowing Onstad to have a high level of control over subtle elements of the art and draw attention to facial expressions and the like. In short, Achewood's art is designed not to distract from the top-notch writing. | |

Subverted with Garfield; while the art does often appear to be cut-and-paste, there are subtle variations within the same frequently-used poses. However now and then for a closeup it's painfully obvious the clip art has been enlarged so the lines are proportionately thicker. Liz is the worst in this regard. She's almost never looking at anything. She always stares straight ahead. |

Furmentation: hosted here Webcomic where all characters and props are drawn once in Flash and exported into image files to be cut-n-pasted from later into premade strip templates in Adobe Photoshop. Most characters are drawn with two angles at most, and expressions are changed in post-work. Backgrounds are often gradients, but sometimes blurred and altered photos are used instead, and reused for the duration of specific scenes or storylines. | |

Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff does it in a very bad way. But that's the point. In fact, in order to get the desired lack of quality Hussie has to repeatedly copy and paste the images and reduce the quality each time, and then go back in and strategically mess parts of the art up. MS Paint Adventures in general, actually. Though as an ersatz video game, it's quite justified in doing so. Additionally, several of the flash animations in Homestuck re-use/modify images from earlier pages so as to make animating easier/faster (most notably in the deliberately bad [S] Vriska: Watch street tough maverick with nothing to lose).

Knights of the Dinner Table is drawn this way, although the number of images used has increased greatly throughout the years. In the early years, the comic used a very small number of panels over and over. In the 2010's the effect is not at all as noticeable, with at least some new panels drawn for each new comic. The art has been getting considerably more nuanced overtime — even if a panel is re-used, the expressions of the characters can change according to the situation. | |

Cheshire Crossing was rather blatant about this, to the point where a making-of feature shows the creator assembling its characters from a library of limbs and torsos in various poses that are mixed and matched according to the needs of the scene.

Girly is decidedly not a Cut and Paste Comic, but it does have a Cut and Paste character, a little-seen character named Xerox. Apparently in the Girly universe "cutpastes" are their own race, and Xerox's daughter — Winter's half-sister Collette — is half-cutpaste, and although she can move, her range of poses are fairly limited. And when she does look in the opposite direction, the lettering on her shirt reverses to indicate her image has been 'flipped' rather than her body turning. |

Basic Instructions does this, apparently having traced the original artwork from photographs. This goes quite well with the dry humor and instruction-book premise. When Scott Meyer learned his art had been used to train the image generation AI Midjourney without his permission, he saw the funny side and began joking that the stiff, traced style would cause an Assimilation Backfire and make Midjourney's output worse. | |

Elf Only Inn, in the early strips, is set in a chat room; thus, the characters are deliberately cut-and-paste, because they reflect the players' avatars/user icons. The humor relies on the conflicts between playing styles, the conflict between Role-Players and out-of-character players, and the minutia of chat room culture. When the strip starts becoming more serious, the art changes from cut-and-paste to more sophisticated art. |

Anime example: Doujin Work tells the life of a girl inspired to make d�jinshi with the assistance of her eccentric friends, only to face problems as a beginner. In the anime, one episode in fact details how the main character, despite improving somewhat, can only draw the same pose of her characters exactly the same for each panel. This becomes more so frustrating as she is supposed to form an erotic d�jin. In complete irony, the comic sells because of how bad it is. | |

In The Bird Feeder, generally every panel of each strip is identical, apart from the characters' mouth shape and eye position. | |

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The artwork in the illustrations is reused constantly. (Explains why there is a Christmas Tree in the background when Greg is opening his Wonder Woman Underoos birthday present in June.) | |

Non-webcomic examples are DSBT InsaniT and Dreamscape, all the human characters use the same general model. | |

Powerup Comics is a Stealth Parody of bad cut-and-paste comics, so it reuses art assets in the worst possible ways. Characters have (at most) two poses, and any other actions will either be bad photoshops of those poses (like a strip where Shadow uses a chainsaw—a hand holding a chainsaw was simply pasted onto the elbow of Shadow's generic, arms-crossed pose) or won't be shown at all (like a strip where Shadow and Chug say "High five" to each other, rather than actually high-fiving). This also frequently results in characters' facial expressions looking nothing like the emotion they're allegedly experiencing (for example, Shadow crying over his ex-girlfriend while still wearing his default smug grin). | |

Pop Team Epic (a yonkoma) leans into this at times. It's eventually and jokingly lampshaded in one strip, where Pipimi reads out an audience complaint about the manga's reliance on copy-pasting art. Popuko gives a heartfelt apology and promises not to do any more copy-pasting... in a pair of obviously copy-pasted panels (for practical reasons, the anime changes this to a joke about the series' reliance on parodies). | |

Dinosaur Comics is the ultimate example, using this as its main gimmick. Besides a few strips with minor changes (and guest strips) every single strip uses not only the same art, but the same panel layout. Only the dialogue varies. This subclass - fixed-art strips - has seen a fair number of variations: for example, Birdsworth and The Adventures of Brigadier General John Stark by Eric Burns-White. |

Mr Square is based around apathy and randomness, so this was inevitable. Lampshaded here: In issue 193. | |

Le avventure del grande Darth Vader (in English: The Adventures of the great Darth Vader) is an Italian joke webcomic, allegedly drawn by and about a dyslexic emulation nerd who goes by the nickname "DARTH VADER" (all capitals), wears a Darth Vader costume and owns a real lightsaber, interacting with other emulation fans mainly by means of jokes about emulation and retrogaming, slapstick and scatological humor. | |
