Line 259:
* Cut short in ''[[Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures|DMFA]]'' after Dan makes the mistake of asking Fa'Lina, who has appeared uninvited in his house, "So where did you come from?"
** In fact, there is a [[Running Gag]] of someone starting a phrase by "Sometimes a male and female X love each other", to elicit a [[Too Much Information]] response.
* The webcomic ''[http://www.itswalky.com/ It's Walky!]'' plays this straught with the series of strips starting [https://web.archive.org/web/20090517041823/http://www.itswalky.com/d/20001109.html here.] The storyline is even called "The Talk", and has Sal and Jason (the figurative "parents") reluctant and Joyce disgusted. On the other hand, this is probably the first time "The Talk" has been given to a mind-wipe victim with a repression complex who was about the same age as said figurative parents. This is one is sort of hard to categorise.
** From [[Walkyverse|the same 'Verse]], the ''Shortpacked!'' storyline "Daddy Issues" has Ethan and Leslie trying to give The Talk to their ''boss'', who doesn't even ''[http://www.shortpacked.com/2011/comic/book-13/01-daddy-issues/hairstyle/ recognise genders]''. (Yes, he has a daughter. Presumably, that will be explained in due course.)
{{quote|'''Leslie''': C'mon, us ''gay kids'' should go teach a ''daddy'' how to procreate!
'''Ethan''': Well, when you put it ''that'' way, this sounds ridiculous. }}
* As ''[[Tales of the Questor]]'' demonstrated in one strip, do ''not'' attempt this with a magic mirror. The results may be [https://web.archive.org/web/20130227024843/http://www.rhjunior.com/totq/00529.html traumatizing] for a child.
* Tycho of ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' got a [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/1/17/ particularly painful subversion] of The Talk.
** Gabe's talk [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/1/18/ was slightly less scarring].
* ''[[Backward Compatible]]'' has a [https://web.archive.org/web/20090504020733/http://www.crispygamer.com/comics/backward/backward-2009-04-29.aspx different kind of talk].
* ''[[Punintended]]'' has one of the best versions of the talk in their comic [http://punintended.thecomicseries.com/comics/9 Where Do Babies Come From]. In this comic a biologist, a chemist and an astronomer all use their scientific field of expertise to tell their kids about the birds and the bees. Quite cute and extremely fantastic.
* ''[[Girl Genius]]'' had [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080310 a moment] when Gil managed to impress [[Super Soldier|Jägers]] and they [[Shipper on Deck|discussed his relationship]] with Agatha:
Line 273:
'''[[Only Sane Man|Dimo]]''': (quietly) Und hy vill teach him how to ''avoid those two''.
'''Jenka''': (quietly) Ah. Den he may haff a ''chence''. }}
* ''Dangerously Chloe'' has [https://web.archive.org/web/20141030213836/http://www.dangerouslychloe.com/strips-dc/a_frank_discussion_of_you-know-what_
*# "Dibs!" It's not like Chloe didn't know to whom she gives ideas, two chapter after [http://www.dangerouslychloe.com/strips-dc/good_chloroform chloroforming] Pandora just to let Teddy date a girl without crazy pranks dropped on them.
*# It "helps" that both are more than a bit fuzzy on what are differences for humans - Pandora is devious enough to sneak into Heaven repeatedly, and she had actual experience (though not with humans). But her knowledge of humanity seems to come mainly from [[Aliens Steal Cable|watching]] erotic comedies and [[Porn With Plot]], while Chloe was brought up in "the Overworld", but didn't interact with humans much and [[Teen Drama|worried about other problems]] at the time.
