Integrity Quest was a Classic LNH Chaotic Add-On Cascade written by Doug Wojtowicz, Stephane Savoie and Hubert Bartels, which introduced the members of the Net.Patrol as they went off on a quest to find the Writer-With-Integrity.

Plot

The Woody Incident

In issue #10, Doug had Lost Cause Boy invite Panta up to sleep in his bed, and cut to the next morning, with her getting dressed and him pondering on "the first time ever he woke up without the morning woody". This caused quite a bit of consternation among the early LNH community, with quite a number labeling it as in bad taste, and was retconned immediately.

Part of this reaction was a reaction to implications of sex that would seem prudish today; however, another, more important part was the tonal clash with the lighthearted superhero comedy, and the fact that Doug had put Hubert's character in this situation without asking. That said, the whole thing was resolved with a few apologies, and immediately became a running injoke.

Integrity Quest can be read in the Eyrie Archive as a single file over here.

As well, Tom Russell wrote an Integrity Quest Companion, which annotates and goes back into the historical context of the story. It can be read here.
