- This is the article on the terminology dangler. For the webcomic, see Dangler!.
In comic terminology, a dangler is plot thread which is dropped and never taken up again. For instance, a mysterious package may be sent to an author and then never mentioned again. Danglers occur when there are new writers for a comic, when the readers grow tired of a particular story line or when the writer forgets to pick an element up again.
