A Painting the Medium and Medium Awareness trope, where characters interact with the confines of the scene. For example, interacting with borders around comic strip panels by crashing through the side or falling out the bottom. In live-action media, it might be implied that two characters are in two completely different locations, only to subvert this by having one of them reach into the other scene. It can also have objects in the frame enter the letterbox to emphasize or simulate a 3D effect. A Sub-Trope of Odd-Shaped Panel and Metafictional Device. Particularly common in Webcomics, as a fairly straightforward way to employ the Infinite Canvas. Compare Camera Abuse. Contrast Behind the Black. |

Loop: The twins use their time powers to cross panel borders, such as the red twin firing her gun at the next panel's blue twin, or the blue twin leaping back a panel. Their dad, Father Time, also does this, reaching back a panel to poke his daughter's cheeks. | |

Quiz show University Challenge always shows the two teams in split-screen, one above the other (in reality they're sitting at desks next to each other).

Near the end of the original series of Star Mares, the background ponies are trying to reach the top of the Empress's tower, but are trapped in an adjacent shaft with no way through. Maple Leaf, after having spent the entire comic telling everypony not to break the fourth wall, uses her party cannon to bust through the frame (it being more easily broken than the wall would be). | |

Homestuck: Late into the comic's sixth act, a villainous (and metafictional) character discovers a magical Crowbar and proceeds to use it to beat a harmless, if unsettling, clown. The narrator is disgusted and plays terrible music to punish the villain, but the Anti-Magic gives the crowbar the ability to attack the website's format, and send links across the page flying around. He uses this to keep the narrator in-line and protest any story development he objects to here. Cans clocking powers allow him to punch characters out of panels into the default background of MS Paint Adventures. This escalates in the End of Act 6 animation, where his powers have him chasing a character across and through multiple panels until they start fighting on top of one. To demonstrate John's new metafictional powers to traverse and retcon the story, when he turns into wind he dissipates past the panel borders. |

The Order of the Stick plays with this sometimes. Haley gets knocked into the next strip in the fight with Tsukiko. (The strip in question is called "At Least It Wasn't the Fourth Wall This Time.") In "Threadbare", the visible "Threads of Creation" (the raw materials making out the plane, as well as the Snarl), a sure sign that reality is getting frayed around the edge, are seen bursting through the usual panel dividers of the strip. |

Schlock Mercenary likes to show characters leaning into frame and holding onto the panel borders. Of particular note is that, when Tagon crashes through a ceiling to make an entrance, it also looks like he crashes through the top of the panel with a large section missing, and bits falling off. | |

Bob and George: During the Mega Man 5 parody, the protagonists split up and the comic began running two strips per day so the plots for both groups could update concurrently. After about a month of these updates, the characters in the bottom strip began wondering how their allies were doing, so they climbed into the strip above them to ask. | |

Though it was a split screen in this case, one segment of "Formidable Opponent" on The Colbert Report (where two Stephens would debate via chroma-key tricks) had Stephen Al-Bert (his terrorist counterpart) blowing up the split-screen at the end of the segment with a rocket launcher; when the smoke clears, the image is mainly broken like glass and all three Stephens have vanished. | |

In Unsounded, weird supernatural stuff — like certain fires, or metaphorical snake skeletons — extend off the page. When the characters walk through a dark tomb, the entire webpage is darkened. Interactions between the Khert and the physical world are also occasionally shown through frame breaks — Sette enters the Khert by falling through a frame, and during a later conversation she has with Murkoph he's trapped outside the page's frames while Sette is safely inside of them. | |

The Way of the Metagamer does this. A lot. Looking at previous and future panels, climbing between panels, and even pulling a section out of a panel are common occurrences. | |

Asterix: The characters sometimes use the comic's panel dividers to support themselves. Asterix and the Secret Weapon features a bird being bothered by noises in the forest and flying straight into the next panel, which is at sea, where a seagull looks at it in surprise. |

In the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition Monster Manual, the border around the fire elemental is burning up due to the close proximity. Similarly, the rust monster is corroding its border. | |

Pearls Before Swine: Done fairly often; sometimes the characters sit on the top of the panels, sometimes the panels are tilted, causing issues in-strip, as well as "Panel Walking" into other comics. Pearls occasionally has jokes that work best if the comics page happens to be laid out just right: The Family Circus has Billy denying that he was spilling sunflower seeds in the kitchen. The Pearls strip that day has Rat throwing sunflower seeds down and out of the panel. When positioned directly above The Family Circus, Rat's abuse of the long-running comic became apparent. Another has Rat comment about being able to see up Blondie's skirt. Obviously the joke worked best when Pearls was immediately beneath Blondie. |

Ghostbusters (2016) had some scenes in the 3D version where characters and elements would protrude over the black letterbox bars. When Erin saves Abby from falling into a dimensional portal, the whole movie expands over those bars. On DVD and Blu-ray, the 2D version also features these protrusions. | |

In the Strong Bad Email "Virus", one of the effects of the virus is that the frame does not scroll when Strong Bad walks, causing him to pop out of the video and into the blackness surrounding it. | |
