** There's also {{Bifauxnen}} [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090123 Grantz]], Baron Wulfenbach's monster hunter. Honestly, if you don't pay attention to the pronouns used, it's quite easy to mistake ''her'' for a hulking guy.
*** Even with the pronouns, confusion can happen-at one point Gil refers to Grantz as "he".

* Tristan from ''Webcomic/AngelMoxie'', due to her TomboyishName and pretty [[http://www.venisproductions.com/angelmoxie/archives/0/1/013.html masculine hair cut]]. (Also, even though she does wear a skirt on her first appearance, with the art style it can easily be confused with a pair of shorts.) This might be why Dan Hess decided give her [[http://www.venisproductions.com/angelmoxie/archives/2/7/275.html feminine makeup and longer hair]] later on.

* Almost every character in "[[http://thewretchedoneswebcomic.com The Wretched Ones]]" has the audience guessing their gender.

* Similar to Digger -- Sweetheart from ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'', being a female, (mostly) non-anthropomorphized dog (one who's a genetically-altered, talking [[InformedAttribute killing machine]])

* The AuthorAvatar from ''Webcomic/AwkwardZombie'' can be rather... ''confusing'' at first. Skinny and flat, wears a [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics baseball cap]], and, when representing characters with PurelyAestheticGender, is usually drawn in the male character's outfit. Long-haired, yes, but that's about it as far as visual femininity. Looking closely at the copyright signature on the sidebar, however, should clear things up--given that not many men are named "Katie." The author is just a GamerChick. However her avatar later got short-haired, which will probably cause more confusion down the line.
** Played with regarding her boyfriend Norrin, who is usually depicted in a masculine version of the girl's clothing but hardly ambiguous due to his PermaStubble.

* ''http://floccinaucinihilipilificationa.tumblr.com/tagged/lame-selfie-bee-comic [[Lame Selfie Bee]]'' is female, or at least based on situations that are relatable to women and girls. Her design doesn't have any TertiarySexualCharacteristics and she's treated as a 'neutral' ThisLoserIsYou in a way female characters usually aren't, so some readers might be in for a shock in the comics which show her shaving her legs for a miniskirt or putting on her makeup wrong.

** WordOfGod refuses to say what sex {{Elfeminate}} [[TheSmartGuy Vaarsuvius]] was originally supposed to have, but when fans became confused, the creator just decided to make his/her AmbiguousGender a RunningGag. Even the characters InUniverse are split on what they believe.

* The main character from ''[[http://chaoslife.findchaos.com/ Chaos Life]]'' is actually female, which was revealed in the FAQ section, and it surprised a lot of viewers. However, her gender is "agender" - meaning she doesn't care if people perceive her as her/him, she/he or just "they" - as she puts it "I'm just me" and they aren't offended or embarrassed by whatever gender people label them.

** WordOfGod says that he created {{Elfeminine}} Vaarsuvius with a gender, but when fans had a hard time telling what it was, he just decided to make his/her AmbiguousGender a part of the comic, InUniverse as well as out.

** The {{Elfeminate}} Vaarsuvius began as this, very early in the comic's run, but was soon written to have an AmbiguousGender in-universe as well.

** Vaarsuvius may or may not have started out like this unintentionally, but V's androgyny has [[AscendedFanon long since become a deliberate running gag]].
** [[WordOfGod Word of the Giant]] says it was unintentional but picked up on pretty darn quickly.
** The fact that recently s/he tied his/her hair into a ponytail makes him/her look more feminine, but there's still no guarantee.
*** More feminine? Tell that to [[LoveableRogue Julio Scoundrél!]]

* Several readers of ''Webcomic/{{Savestate}}'' kept mistaking Nicole for a male because of her tomboyish attitude and barely noticeable breasts...despite the name and the character sheet stating she's Kade's sister. It happened so often that the author eventually [[http://www.savestatecomic.com/2015/03/plush-fortress/ lampshaded it in a strip]] to clear things up.

It happened so often that the author eventually lampshaded it in a strip to clear things up.

* Most of the animals in Creator/UrsulaVernon's ''Webcomic/{{Digger}}'', including the main character, have no TertiarySexualCharacteristics the way most {{furry| fandom}} characters would. This, combined with absolutely no one bar the hyenas having gender issues, leads a lot of first-time readers to assume Digger is male until someone lets slip a third person pronoun.

* From the FanWebcomic Webcomic/KillLaKillAU, if it wasn't stated or shown to a certain degree otherwise, you probably would have thought Mako was a boy. Likewise, same can occur for Shiro.

* The author of ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheBlackDog'' is getting a bit tired of telling readers that Sedjet (the slim, long-haired fennec who likes men) is a guy.

* ''Webcomic/ToddAllisonAndThePetuniaViolet's'' author [[WordOfGod has had to state]] countless times that LongHairedPrettyBoy [[GenderBlenderName Meredith]] is indeed male.
