  • There are several comics that almost share name with at least one other comics.
  • All comics that thus share name with only up to one different character are listed here.
    • Exception is 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.
  • For true series, however, where a number is added after the title, then only the series, not the individual comics are listed (for those that already have their own category of course).
    • There are still some series like that which has not had a category created. This may be a mistake, since there are comic series with just two comics that have their own category like the Well series.
  • Finally there is a series of new year comics with the year changing to match the new years number.
    • So far it seems they only appear every 2nd new year...
    • If this series continue until 2020, then that comic should still be listed here, even though two numbers change...
