Line 21:
** Hannelore might also qualify on occasion. [[Word of God]] has it that she's channeling [[Azumanga Daioh|Osaka]].
* T-Rex from ''[[Dinosaur Comics]]''.
* Kwerki in ''[[
* Wonderella from ''[[The Non-Adventures of Wonderella]]''. And her sidekick, Rita, is even ''more'' of one.
* ''[[8-Bit
** Red Mage is convinced his world runs on [[Tabletop Games]] rules. [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2001/10/10/episode-085-i-turned-my-bag-of-holding-inside-out-wrapped-it-around-me-and-walked-through-the-dungeon-walls/ He carries around a character sheet], rolls twenty-sided dice to see if he succeeds at things, and [[Munchkin|is obsessed with manipulating these rules to his advantage.]] If he were in [[The Order of the Stick|another
** Maybe during the earlier parts of the comic, before Sarda really started having an effect on the plot.
** Since Red Mage [[Min-Maxing|took mild forms of insanity as character defects in order to maximize his skill points]], including a "3-point Hallucination flaw", it is possible for him to be [[Mind Screw|both insane and yet correct in his perception of the universe]].
Line 43:
* In ''[[UG Madness]]'', [[Wizards of the Coast]] R&D director Mark Rosewater is portrayed as this. He's also an imp. The author claims this to be a true and accurate portrayal. Many who have read Mr. Rosewater's articles might agree.
* Torg from ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' does this quite a bit, such as when he declares "I will find us a new place to live!" He doesn't actually make any effort to find a new apartment; he thinks making the big dramatic statement should be enough. Or when he promises to paint Zoe's apartment, and takes that as liscense to [http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=980222 do a nude portrait of her on the wall of her living room]. And doing a painting of Rodin's "[http://justinsomnia.org/archive/freshman/Art_Rodin_The_Kiss.jpg The Kiss] on her bathroom ceiling. Using pictures of her parents as models.
* Quilt from ''[[Dominic Deegan]]'' has no brain (he's a necromantic golem, a la [[Frankenstein's Monster]]), and thus can be a little... out there. When told to keep his eye on someone, his response was to take his eye out of the socket and point it at the subject. But [https://web.archive.org/web/20130328091311/http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2008-01-13 this] is probably where he exhibits the trope the most.
* Lord Sykos from ''[[The Wotch]]'' is, as his name suggests, completely insane. Example: "Sorry, but no one goes anywhere 'til I'm done with my little investigation. 'Cept for you. You need to get me a taco. I don't know what they are, but I want one." His [[Perky Female Minion]] Aimee is pretty strange, too.
** Jo in ''[[Cheer]]!''. Too [[The Ditz|ditzy]] to be fooled by the Agents' [[Somebody Else's Problem]] Fields, completely [[Genre Savvy]] without even knowing it, and she thinks she's a [[Magical Girl]]. And talks to squirrels, which talk more like [[Zero Wing|CATS]]. Also too ditzy to have been affected by Miranda's mind-altering magic, and thus retains all of her memories of being Colin.
Line 56:
* Inquisitor Eastwood from <s> [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] [[Warhammer 40,000|40K]]</s> ''[[Exterminatus Now]]'' takes refuge in Cloudcuckooland sometimes when [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|giant]] [[Demonic Spiders|spiders]] show up. To protect his fragile brain from the shock, he has been known to begin calculating the number of teapots a walrus could eat while juggling George Clooney and David Hasselhoff.
* ''[[Scary Go Round]]'': Shelley Winters and Ryan Beckwith are like this all of the time, although their brands of oddness tend to vary. Shelley's detachment from reality seems to manifest in her bizarre thought processes, Ryan has his interesting grasp of history and both of them love a good non sequitur every now and then. As of the current moment, Ryan teaches school; slightly less odd, but then he is now a supporting character, and his students qualify.
* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20191206025214/http://www.fletcherapts.com/ Fletcher Apts]'': Kia is the cute ditzy girl who seems to be in her own world all the time, and any jokes told to her or aimed at her just fly right over her head.
* Sylvester from ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20200313130906/http://www.agameoffools.com/ A Game of Fools]'':
{{quote|"Pfft, it's not aliens you should be worried about. It's the carrot people."}}
* Tesrin Stepford-Brown from ''[[All Over the House]]'':
Line 113:
* [[Gas Mask Longcoat|Zee Captain]] from ''[[Romantically Apocalyptic]]''.
* Several examples from ''[[Survivor Fan Characters]]'', including [[Ted Baxter|Craig]], a fourty-year-old maniac who thinks he's a strategic mastermind [[Catgirl|Kala]], a [[Catgirl|Wolf Girl]] who speaks to inanimate objects such as her "Happystick", and [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|Gatemaster]], an oaf who controls the entire season without even realising it.
* Reece in ''[[At Arm's Length (webcomic)|At
* Everyone in ''[http://eqcomics.com/ Edmund Finney's Quest]'' hails from Cuckooland, except Edmund himself, who is the [[Only Sane Man]] on the planet. For example, Edmund meets [http://eqcomics.com/2012/02/14/an-archer/ this nutjob] while traveling with a pair of hunters with [["BANG!" Flag Gun|"Nice To Meet You" guns]], who are trying to find a Yeti using only a coffee stain and an extraordinary misinterpretation of some guy's comment about a sandwich.
* Bunny of ''[[Blade Bunny]]'' is a hyperfocused killing machine in combat, otherwise she is oblivious to social nuances.
