3	'''A Administrivia/{{No Recent Examples\|please}} rule applies to this trope'''. Examples for episodic works shouldn't be added until '''end of season''' for the season introducing the ambiguity (or after '''3 months''', for episodic works without seasons). This is to allow time for the story to develop the character and resolve ambiguity. There is no waiting time for non-episodic works.
4	----
5	* ''[[http://www.drunkduck.com/Badly_Drawn_Webcomic/ Badly Drawn Webcomic]]'': does this a lot, in particular [[http://www.drunkduck.com/Badly_Drawn_Webcomic/index.php?p=530371 here]] and [[http://www.drunkduck.com/Badly_Drawn_Webcomic/index.php?p=518805 here]].
6	* ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'' has David, who adores Abbey according to the chart. And [[http://topwebcomics.com/images/banners/471.png this]] or [[http://taeshilh.deviantart.com/art/Prismacoloured-Distraction-66277078?q=boost%3Apopular+by%3Ataeshilh+abbey+david&qo=4 this]] makes it seem that David likes touching Abbey while having fun.
7	* ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'' takes the perceived HoYay between Zero & X in ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' and runs with it. While X and Zero angrily deny this, plenty of humor comes from them being way too affectionate and concerned with each other, and entering into oddly ambiguous banter. Many other characters often debate if they're gay or not the second they leave the room, and Bob at one point actually referred to them, upon their entrance, as "The Ambiguously Gay Duo".
8	-->'''Protoman:''' Okay, to turn it off, [[ItMakesSenseInContext all we need to do is press Zero's left boob-light]].\
9	'''George:''' ... I'm not gonna do it! You do it!\
10	'''Protoman:''' Where's X? He'll do it.
11	* ''Webcomic/CharbyTheVampirate'': The Goblin Queen, who has been succinctly described as "a lover of big parties, rich feasts, and beautiful ladies."
12	* ''Webcomic/TheClassMenagerie'':
13	** Mikey Hopkins (whom Mike Sopkins of ''Funny Farm'' is an {{Expy}} of) hits this trope even harder. He's tackled near-daily by what is generally regarded as, at the least, a very [[StealthPun foxy lady]]. [[ScheduleFanatic And then he complains about being behind on his plans by thirty-seven seconds.]] [[spoiler:Towards the very end, after things go sideways and [[ItMakesSenseInContext Mikey breaks her heart]], he comes out to Lisa and explains that he became a Schedule Fanatic to prevent himself from having to think about it. As for him being ThePerfectionist and expecting others to live up to his impossible standards? That's not so he can fit in with their group, it's just that he's ''always'' been a perfectionist.]]
14	* ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'' has Abel. Of course, [[EvenTheGuysWantHim he'll have no shortage of admirers, whatever his preferences turn out to be...]] and then [[spoiler:it turns out he's pretty much asexual]]. For all we know, though, he'll change his mind sooner or later.
15	* ''Webcomic/{{Erfworld}}'':
16	** Prince Tramennis of Jetstone, a [[PrettyBoy pretty]] diplomat in a family of chiseled warriors, who comments on his brothers' fashion tastes, annoys his father, and rocks some low-grade ZettaiRyouiki. When he communicates with Charlie, the latter's idea of AFormYouAreComfortableWith inevitably involves rainbows. But it's never quite discussed, and it might just be a non-issue for Erfworlders, given how their reproduction works.
17	*** It does seem to bother his father King Slately, who has passed over Trammennis for command. But after seeing Tramennis' skills Slately now comments that "So who cares [[VerbalBackspace if he's a]]–-If his Signamancy[[note]]innate magic by which [[AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance your outer appearance matches your inner self]][[/note]] is less...than manly." But this is the only time that being gay, or even the ''concept'' of sexual orientation is even described; most natives of Erf seem utterly oblivious of it.
18	** Ace Hardware and Cubbins, with such doozies as, "The Magic Kingdom had been Ace Hardware's occasional refuge... He and Cubbins would usually come here and... Oh, man. Cubbines. They were enemies now, right? Aw, no." May be a bit of a subversion since Ace Hardware generally comes off as a tough military sergeant type GadgeteerGenius. Cubbins has enough stereo typically gay traits, though.
19	** Wanda is likely gay as well, but it's left rather unclear. She was in a long and complex relationship with Jillian and had a thing for Olive Branch for a time. She ''has'' used her beauty to seduce men on at least one occasion, but love doesn't seem to enter the equation.
20	* ''Webcomic/FilthBiscuit'' features the superhero [[http://www.filthbiscuit.com/cat-man/ Cat-Man]], whose fastidious, metrosexual habits and constant but inadvertent sexual innuendo lead others to think he's gay, when his actual preferences are unclear.
21	* ''Webcomic/FlutteringFeelings'': In this Korean webcomic we have Baek Soel-A, who despite dating many, many, ''many'' men states that the feelings she is developing for her female friend Kim No-Rae are something she has never felt before. That added with the fact that she has never really cared for any of the men she has been with implies she may have always been gay and never knew it given that Seol-A has maybe two female friends her whole life.
22	* ''[[http://www.funnyfarmcomics.com/ Funny Farm]]'': Mike Sopkins spent a lot of time frolicking gaily through this trope. And, of course, ended up being revealed as utterly straight, if unbelievably innocent about sex in general; in fact, [[StraightGay Ridley]] is afraid to come out to him [[spoiler:(though Mike turns out to be completely okay with it)]].
23	* Colette Voltaire of ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' has no interest in the many, many men pursuing her romantically, and in one of her [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20150826 early appearances]] makes a joke to Agatha about how "their love can never be".
24	* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'':
25	** Tedd, despite looking rather feminine and even recreationally spending some of his time ''[[GenderBender as a woman]]'', is not only totally straight, but mildly homophobic (because everyone thinks he's gay). He's trying to get past the latter, though. [[spoiler:It turns Tedd might actually be bisexual, but really in denial about it]].
26	** Played for drama with Nanase, despite it seemingly starting out as a joke. She however is the genuine article.
27	** Subverted with Noah, who turns out to be CampStraight (or maybe Camp Heteroromantic Grey Ace. Or ''maybe'' Camp Bi. All we really know is that he's in a relationship with a woman.)
28	* ''Webcomic/HannaIsNotABoysName'':
29	** Conrad is all over this one. Violent aversion to women? Check. Tight, fashionable clothing? Check. Apartment in the "artsy" side of town? Check. But nothing's yet been stated straight out.
30	** Doc Worth, with his fabulous (though probably a little grungy) fluffy pink coat. And his ambiguously SlapSlapKiss [[HoYay relationships]] with both Lamont and Conrad.
31	-->'''Hanna:''' Yanno, actually Worth is kinda ''keen'' on you now.\
32	'''Conrad:''' WHU-? ''What''.
33	* ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'':
34	** The zoo kangaroos Bruce and Roosevelt, pen-mates who originally only [[ThoseTwoGuys appeared together frequently]] but [[{{Flanderization}} were shown being more openly affectionate towards each other as the series went on]]. This trope might not be in force any longer here, but it certainly was when they were shown doing things two guy friends don't normally do with each other without it being romantic.
35	* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''
36	** Dirk Strider is openly gay. His pre-[[ResetButton Scratch]] counterpart is a lifelong bachelor that makes his money off of phallic puppet porn, but never expressed romantic or sexual interest in other people.
37	** Clubs Deuce has a magazine called "Black Inches" as his PornStash of choice (since every member of the Midnight Crew has one), and his species' carapaces are jet black.
38	** [[spoiler:Calliope]] doesn't interact with boys that much other than her brother, who she despises, but spends a lot of time around Jane and Roxy, and is much closer to the two. Even John is puzzled about the nature of her relationship with Roxy, and it's left unclear how (or if) [[spoiler:cherubs]] feel romantic love at all.
39	* ''Webcomic/MayonakaDensha'': Jack is oft none too subtly hinted to be attracted to Tom, is constantly teased about it by Hatsune and is also a raging misogynist. Nothing has been stated outright although it's [[JustifiedTrope justified]], [[VictorianLondon given the setting]].
40	* ''Webcomic/{{Noblesse}}'': Frankenstein, M-21, & Tao. Frankenstein revolves around only one man, Raizel, & he spurned the pretty Dr. Aerith. M-21 has a lot of fangirls, but doesn't know they exist, is very emotionally attached to M-24 & only seems to have fun around other men. Tao is an ambiguously bi semicrossdresser who wears a woman's offshoulder sweater, paints his nails, wears eyeshadow, & has a fondness for Ik-Han (boy) & Seira (girl).
41	* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': Vaarsuvius and their spouse Inkyrius are both of AmbiguousGender. Their children are adopted, and refer to them as "Parent" and "Other Parent". The idea that they're a same-sex couple was rather encouraged by the fact that during V's transformation into [[spoiler:"Darth V" after their DealWithTheDevil]], the background was [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0635.html a pink triangle]].
42	* Ja Wangnan from ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod''. He and Viole are not DistractedByTheSexy that is Yeon, but that might be because the first impression she gave him was accompanied with her accidentally burning him and making him drop out of a test. The real reason why people think he might be gay is because he saved [[DudeLooksLikeALady Nia's]] number under "My Beloved Nia ♥".
43	* In ''Webcomic/{{Punderworld}}'', Persephone seems to think the vow of chastity that Artemis took and which her mortal priestesses follow is because she's only interested in girls. Artemis strongly hints this is the case, and she's shown acting suggestively around her female followers.
