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 ''[[GhastlysGhastly's Ghastly Comic]]''. She started off seeming to have [[No Social Skills]], but quickly turned into a chatty little loon who [[Epileptic Trees|believes citrus fruits squirting juice in your eyes is an S&M thing for them]], among the other crazy and not-particularly-worksafework-safe theories she has to explain equally mundane things. For example, her wedding toast... At a reception she wasn't invited to, and most likely doesn't know anyone at. And it involves a rather 'unique' use of a bottle as a prop.
* Wonderella from ''[[The Non-Adventures of Wonderella]]''. And her sidekick, Rita, is even ''more'' of one.
* ''[[8-Bit Theater|8-bit Theater]]''
** 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 webcomicweb comic]], this would make him [[Genre Savvy]]. However, the world of ''8-Bit Theater'' doesn't actually run on [[Tabletop Games]] rules; it runs on the [[Rule of Funny]] instead. That means he's just a Cloudcuckoolander, except when it would be funnier for him to be right. He's simply insane all the time, in his own special way, and often oblivious to logic, warping reality with his own bizarre ideas. Just because his crazy schemes occasionally briefly succeed (like the Chocobo breeding experiment) doesn't make him sane. You would never ever think of Red Mage as "the only truly sane person of the group".
** 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 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 ArmsArm's Length]]''. Her train of thought frequently gets derailed at the station. She's known to focus on non sequitarssequiturs during an action scene.
* 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.
