Line 15:
* [[Archipelago]] has Blitz. The poor guy has [[Trauma-Induced Amnesia]], [[Ocean Madness]] (though there were a few other factors), [[Eye Scream|is missing an eye]] (which he took out by himself, by the way), and mind is broken completely beyond repair. It's even stated that even if he was 'fixable', he may not like what he finds. Add the fact that he's a total sweetheart who just wants to be helpful, and you can't help but want to give him a hug.
* ''[[Bob and George]]'' [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/020120 take your pick]
* The Sorrow, in the ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' fancomic ''[[The Cobra Days]]''. Partly due to the abuse he takes from his [[Heroic Sociopath]] comrades, partly because his spirit-medium powers have a distinct element of [[Blessed with Suck]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20160305190551/http://thecobradays.net/view.php?date=2006-02-06 at times].
** And then there's the fact that he's [[Doomed by Canon]] to die at the hands of his lover once the Cold War breaks out.
* Dave Jones in ''[[CRFH|College Roomies From Hell!!!]]''; the whole main cast have moments like that, really, but Dave is the designated woobie most of the time.
Line 26:
** [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_857.php Comedy is hard when it doesn't involve physical/emotional pain]
* Komiyan from ''[[Darken]]'' qualifies. He's a cowardly drow with bad eyesight who wears glasses and has a courageous side. He looks absolutely adorable. And he rarely gets to do any badassery for long before being whomped by something. Or stabbed, or shot, or tortured.
* Grimal's [[Furry Comic|Furry webcomic]] ''[http://deo.comicgenesis.net Deo]''{{Dead link}}
* Ed from ''[[Digger]]'' (pictured... unless they've changed it). {{spoiler|Isolated for ''17 years''? After suffering spousal abuse for some time? And ripping his mate's throat out because she was beating their child ''because'' he loved her?}} Who doesn't want to give him a hug and some tea? At least Digger feels the same way.
* Angel from ''[[Domain Tnemrot]]'' has been revealing [http://www.tnemrot.com/?p=129 her back story lately].
Line 90:
*** And it seems things were awful [https://web.archive.org/web/20110407154035/http://newshounds.keenspot.com/d/20110404.html before] Lorna adopted him.
** [[Only Sane Employee|Lorna]] and Rochelle also have some woobieish traits.
* ''[[Opey the Warhead]]'' is about a boy named [https://web.archive.org/web/20130403011013/http://www.drunkduck.com/Opey_the_Warhead/ Opey]... who also happens to (at least appear to) be a nuclear warhead. When the class realizes he doesn't explode on impact, he immediately becomes the victim of the entire classroom (well, three kids, but it's [[After the End]]) of bullies. Despite not having a face, Opey is amazingly expressionate and totally woobie material being a generally sweet-natured kid.
* Therkla in ''[[Order of the Stick]]''. She's sweet, likable, and a fan favorite from almost her introduction. Then she falls head over heels in love with [[In Love with the Mark|the guy she's been told to kill]], only to have him go "Sorry, already spoken for". She then risks her life for him, and ends up {{spoiler|being killed by her own boss for [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|not being a reliable tool to him anymore,]] and dies in the arms of the man she loves.}} Ouch.
** Even much-hated [[Knight Templar]] paladin Miko got a Woobie moment... {{spoiler|just before [[Alas, Poor Scrappy|she died]].}}
