One-Two Punchline | comment |
Twice is nice! Right? A comic trope in which either the two last panels of a strip each contain a punchline, or the last panel contains double the punchlines for double the fun. This sometimes takes the form of crossing the line twice. The penultimate panel is often a sight gag or Take, and if this is true, then the last panel may add a spoken punchline to this. Conversely, the spoken punchline may be in the penultimate panel with a Wild Take or Gross-Up Close-Up added as the second punchline. Related to Escalating Punchline. For webcomics, Alt Text is frequently used as a way to convey the second punchline. |

Doonesbury was the first newspaper comic strip to regularly use this, and was directly or indirectly the inspiration for most modern uses. | |

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal: There's an entire bonus second-punchline panel accessible by hovering over a red button at the end of the strip. Many of the main strips also have multiple punchlines, especially from the time before Zach started drawing voteys. Lampshaded in this strip, which had three punchlines in the main strip, and then got a votey drawn years later saying nothing but "Do you really want another punchline, you greedy bastard?" | |

Calvin and Hobbes: Bill Watterson was fond of these, with Hobbes adding another punchline on the far right of the last panel, often a mockery or lampshade hanging on what Calvin was saying. | |

Cat and Girl uses a fairly standard size format for its comics, but sometimes there will be an extra panel or two drawn in grey that adds a punchline. | |

Many Webcomics (including The Adventures of Dr. McNinja, xkcd and Achewood) will include secondary punchlines in hover-over Alt Text. Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal and Amazing Super Powers go a step further, including an entire bonus second-punchline panel. The former by hovering over a red button at the end of the strip, and the latter by clicking a hidden question mark at the comic's side. | |

In an example from Bob and George, after Bob revives from unconciousness off panel, when he actually appears in the penultimate panel of the next comic, he is wearing a ridiculous girly costume. The final panel has him making a reference to the prior Halloween comic, which is where the costume originated. | |

Sometimes in Questionable Content, as seen here. In one case, a double punchline is given after a pair of Silent Scenery Beat Panels. | |

Often used in Pearls Before Swine, especially in the pun strips, in which the first punchline is a contrived pun after a long setup, with the second being someone, usually Rat, reacting with annoyance. | |
