  • There are several comics that almost or do share their name with at least one other comic.
    • Click to expand for a more detailed explanation:


  • All comics that thus share name with only up to one different character are listed here.
    • Exceptions are made for instance if:
      • The plural form changes more than just adding an "s", like for "baby" vs. "babies",
      • A word is split in two words in one comic's name and not the other like "flow charts" vs "flowchart", where also the plural is changed.
  • Finally, there is a series of new year comics with the year changing to match the new year's number.
