Line 11:
* Helene from ''[http://www.avalonhigh.com/ Avalon]'' is a [[Clingy Jealous Girl]], seemingly oblivious to the fact that her boyfriend, Alan, just wants to get rid of her (not to mention his interest in Ceilidh). In one of the last drawn strips, she tells Joe that she's known Alan's feelings the whole time, but the fact that he hasn't told her makes her think that he cares about her enough to be won over, and after being forced to admit this, gives up on him.
* The interpretation of madness given in ''[[Narbonic]]'' explores this trope at length.
* [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2007/01/02/episode-790-its-where-the-powder-comes-from/ This] ''[[8-Bit Theater
** And [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2005/10/11/episode-610-logic/ this] makes one wonder about Red Mage, and [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2007/12/11/episode-930-turnabout/ these] [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2005/10/15/episode-612-mind-over-matter/ three] [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2005/12/13/episode-634-you-were-right/ make] one wonder about Fighter. Of course, actually ''being'' as dumb as Fighter would be a far greater feat than ''pretending'' to be that dumb.
** The second possibly shows a variant of this - he's not as dumb as he appears to be, he just never feels the need to actually think about anything beyond his whimsical [[Cloudcuckoolander]] ideas, one of which, remember, worked like a charm ("Sword-chucks, yo!"). A fighter actually using his brain is a threat to be feared.
Line 47:
* {{spoiler|Miss Mab}} from ''[[Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures]]''. Waaay smarter than she lets on...
** {{spoiler|Pip, Mab's "pet"}} is frighteningly intelligent.
* As it turns out, ''[[Dominic Deegan]]'s'' father Donovan has been able to speak Orcish perfectly for the past twenty years. He's been [[My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels|mangling it]] the whole time simply because [[Rule of Funny|it was Funny]].
* Guineas from ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'', a bit shy and lazy guy whose boss gave him only simple work because he avoided assuming his human form and acted as barely more than a dumb rodent. [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2003-12-17 He isn't stupid].
* This trope appears to be not only [[Blade Bunny]]'s M.O., but her whole way of life. The first time the mask [http://www.bladebunny.com/?p=24 slips] she glues it back in place by seeming unable to count to four.
