History OlderThanTheyLook / WebComics

* As of the Credomar arc, Kaff Tagon of ''SchlockMercenary'' is 49. This is brought down in particular by Elf, who [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2008-10-18 in this strip]] claims he's older than her dad, and yet she had a crush on him a few arcs earlier.

* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'' is an undisputed king of this Trope. Manipulating the FunctionalMagic of their world known as Shinsoo, allows for a person who become skilled enough with it to become immortal. Since the entire cast and ''everyone'' in the the story setting can use Shinsoo, almost all of them are immortal and either are already or soon will be older than they look. A prime example is Anak [[spoiler: Zahard]] who has a body of what seems like a child and is ''[[Really700YearsOld 300]]'' years old. They ''need'' to be immortal as well, since their ultimate goal is to reach the top of the Tower that makes up their world and just reaching floor 134[[note]] The highest anyone has ever gotten[[/note]] takes ''500'' years.

* Greg, boyfriend of Kili in ''TheDragonDoctors'', is really 60 but looks about 20-something. However, he's not alone, as apparently quite a lot of people are able to purchase rejuvenation in the setting.

* Weijuaru of ''{{Juathuur}}''. The thing is... he's a shift user.

* Angela from ''Webcomic/QueenOfWands'' and ''PunchAnPie''. She doesn't seem to mind it much, because hey, ordering off the kid's menu is cheaper and you get to color on the placemats.

* Hanna (of ''HannaIsNotABoysName'') is [[http://hanna.aftertorque.com/wp-content/gallery/hannarts/hanna_ref.jpg twenty-four.]] [[http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=151 Believe it or not.]] [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane Whether or not this is natural]] or the result of [[AmbiguouslyHuman something magic]] has not been explained.

** ... maybe. ''Homestuck's'' timeline is [[TimeyWimeyBall a little messy]], so it's hard to be perfectly accurate.

* ''Webcomic/{{Spinnerette}}'' looks like a teenager but she's actually a grad student in her mid- to late twenties. In contrast to "Evil Spinerette" who looks considerably older than the 16 years she turns out to be.

* [[AmbiguousDisorder Dina]] from ''Webcomic/DumbingOfAge.'' {{Lampshaded}} when Raidah and her friends think she's a retarded child, and later after she makes friends with Riley.

-->'''Amber:''' Dina, I think she's like ''twelve.''
-->'''Dina:''' I have been deceived!
-->'''Riley:''' Wait, ''you're'' not twelve?
-->'''Dina:''' I see no answer to that which would not tarnish my dignity.

* in ''ErrantStory'': Meji, age seventeen, looks twelve (she's a half-elf). All kinds of angsting and insecurities ensue.

* Magic users in ''Webcomic/{{Evon}}'' age slower than normal people. Evon looks like a twelve-year old ([[InformedAtribute allegedly]]) but is actually in her mid-20s.

* {{Webcomic/Homestuck}}: Dave's Bro looks to be in his early to mid twenties, and the age gap isn't too wide between him and Dave, in reality he's as old as Rose's Mom [[spoiler: as a Paradox clone sent to earth on a meteor, he arrived at the same time she did]] making him in his thirties-forties.

* [[BadassTeacher Mr. Raven]] of ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' looks fifty-ish, but he's old enough to have taught one of his current student's mother (herself about forty). At one point, we see him unconscious, and he actually looks ''[[YoungerThanTheyLook younger]]'', implying he has some sort of illusion spell going to make himself look older. Oh, and [[OurElvesAreBetter he's an elf]].
