A Guest Strip is a episode of a webcomic that was not drawn or written by the current authors of said webcomic. Due to the communal nature of the Web and webcomics culture, this is much easier to organise than in other media. It is, perhaps, ascended Fan Art. Usually, guest strips are Non-Canon and posted as Filler Strips. Entire "Guest Strip Weeks" are often invoked by webcomic authors when they need back surgery, a week in Tahiti, an opportunity to deal with familial issues, or a chance to attend a Con. Other comics, usually dailies, post a guest strip on Sundays in lieu of an elaborate Sunday Strip. Nearly all webcomics have done this at some point. |

A television example in the form of Adventure Time, which had four of its episodes written and directed by different guest animators in their signature styles, in addition to a special bonus episode that was co-produced by Mojang. | |

Sleepless Domain: The comic frequently features a lighthearted guest page or two between chapters. Notably, many of these pages are still written and storyboarded by the series' regular author, and feature the guest artist to illustrate the finished page. As such, most of the guest strips are still considered Canon — though there are, of course, exceptions. | |

The Whiteboard: On this page there's not only the regular strip by Doc Nickel involving a big red Schmuck Bait button, but an additional, related strip by Commander Kitty writer Scotty Arsenault. Kathy Garrison of Carry On contributed several strips to hold things over while Doc Nickel was having computer problems, resulting in a week of non-canon strips featuring one of her Carry On characters, who had been given a cameo in this strip. note The guest strips are currently unavailable on the main site, but Doc N has said that he'll put them up on the sketchbook page when he gets a chance. |

Multiple television examples from the more recent seasons of The Simpsons. From time to time, the couch gag or even the entire opening sequence is done by a guest animator, including... An infamous couch gag by Banksy which portrayed the animators as being in an utterly bleak sweathouse (much to the chagrin of the actual animators) Two couch gags from the Robot Chicken crew A whopping six from Bill Plympton (including a Shot-for-Shot Remake of one of his own shorts) A crossover with Rick and Morty A couch gag by Don Hertzfeldt which has Homer being transported to the far future and witnessing millennia of Seasonal Rot in action ("The Sampsans" degraded to surrealistic nonstop catchphrases, merch-shilling, and subliminal propaganda for the moon lord) And an homage to Walt-era Disney done by Disney animator Eric Goldberg. John Kricfalusi, in spite of being a vocal critic of the show, did two couch gags. In a similar vein the Treehouse of Horror comics occasionally had guest artists, like issue 5 features a story drawn by Earthworm Jim creator Doug Ten Napel, and issue 11 features stories illustrated by comic book artists Gene Colan and Bernie Wrightson who specialized in drawing horror themed comics. |

To give an example, Garfield was drawn by Stan Drake, the then-current artist for the Blondie (1930) strips which featured Jon and Garfield moving in with Blondie and Dagwood until the paint dries in their house, Jon and Garfield are also drawn in a different style to fit in with the other strip. | |

In the twelve or so year history of Penny Arcade, the need for a guest strip has only come up twice. Once was after a PAX convention where the artist came down with swine flu (and then only because he was physically incapable of lifting a pencil to draw). The illness was incorporated into some of the strips. Half a year later another was posted, with the explanation "There was a point after PAX East had come to a close and the second leg of our book tour was underway that we began to understand we had fucked up." |

Precocious: During the "Party crashers" arc, while Chrispy had a broken finger. The guest artists included Matt Dawson (Sometime Alone), Brooke Eggleston (Also Bagels), Irene Pitcairn (Sun Elves), Robert McConnell, Carl Sjostrand (Ginger's Bread), Terrence and Isabel Marks, John Peters (Gypsygirl Press), and Roman Utkin (who does a Russian translation of Precocious). A new set of guest strips began in March 2013, with a couple of twists on the theme. |

Gunnerkrigg Court did a strange example where the characters made a series of guest strips mutually forming the third installment of "City Face," the surreal adventures of a talking pigeon.

Drowtales uses this to not only lessen the work load on the main artist of the comic, but to use the different art styles to fully show off the current narrative. These strips are just as professional grade as the main comic and just as canon as art done by the main artist, advancing the story along in their absence. | |

There have been two guest strips in Ears for Elves so far, with the characters but nothing related to the plot.
