Some underground and alternative comic artists have used toppers in their work, though not in the context of a Sunday strip. The strip "Fat Freddy's Cat" appeared as a topper in the underground comic book "The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers". Tony Millionaire's weekly comic strip "Maakies" is perhaps the only contemporary syndicated strip to run a topper (which appears at the bottom of the main strip and lacks a consistent title). Toppers have also been used in some comics by Chris Ware and Daniel Clowes to mimic the format of a Sunday comics page. A variant of the topper, "throwaway" panels containing a "throwaway gag" (inessential to the thrust of the strip) remain common , and allow different formats depending on available space.
