8	* ''Webcomic/{{Archipelago}}'', but even more so its sequel, ''Webcomic/CityOfSomnus'' (since it's centered around him), has Paollo, prince of Majestan, who doesn't even take offense to being dragged through the forest by the local {{cloudcuckoolander}}, always owns up to his mistakes and blunders, and only gets angry at anyone who isn't himself when he sees Odette (a girl he's known for mere hours) being abused or when the bad guys hurt his father. Don't take him for a pushover, though.
9	* ''Webcomic/BeyondTheEnd'': End is nice to everyone he meets, whether they're angel, demon, or any of the residents of Purgatory. He always wants to give everyone a chance and help anyone in need.
10	* ''Webcomic/BigEthelEnergy'': In contrast to her mixed opinion towards Archie and total dread at seeing Jughead, Ethel is consistently positive towards Betty, complimenting her kindness and considering her one of the friends she made in Riverdale.
11	* Vampire Hunter Victoria Calandra of ''Webcomic/CharbyTheVampirate'' is an incredibly kind girl if a bit of a {{Workaholic}} that started hunting to save lives and doesn't consider herself to have any time for fun or romance due to the incredible responsibility of her work.
12	* Merlitz from ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'' before he was PutOnABus. Doubled as the OnlySaneMan.
13	** Also from ''DMFA'', [[http://missmab.com/Cast/matilda.php Matilda]].
14	* ''Webcomic/DarkestNight'':
15	** Mags is a kind young woman who's always caring for others and says it's her nature.
16	** Nessa too is very sweet.
17	* ''Webcomic/EerieCuties'': This is Ace's defining character trait and his AchillesHeel, which has often lead to [[ButtMonkey embarrassment]] and [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/let_me_make_this_up_to_you uncomfortable situations]], [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/inna_middle_of_something due to not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings.]]
18	* The Virus from ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow'' could be considered this, at least compared to his teammates.
19	* Tom of ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' is the fake, manipulative version -- in fact, he's too malicious to even count as a DoggedNiceGuy, he's just a straight-up ManipulativeBastard. Good Tom, however, is a parody due to being a perfect, genuine NiceGuy. He apologizes for getting offended for overhearing "Tom is a jackass" (they were talking about the other one), is appalled at the casual misogyny of a romantic comedy, and genuinely apologizes to his girlfriend for taking her there on a date, even though she doesn't care. Oh, and he may or may not have a superpower that lets him tell when random heroics are needed.
20	-->'''Good Tom:''' WAIT. ''A puppy is in danger.''\
21	'''Tom's Girlfriend:''' Again?\
22	'''Good Tom:''' ''Quickly!'' We must make haste! ''[runs off]''\
23	'''Tom's Girlfriend:''' ''[following]'' You are the ''worst'' best boyfriend ever!
24	** It is later [[http://egscomics.com/egsnp/2016-08-04 confirmed]] that Good Tom does indeed have a magical ability to sense when puppies are in danger.
25	* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
26	** [[LovableNerd John Egbert]] is definitely one of these. General consensus among his friends is that he's kind of a doofus, but that there's something endearing about his derpiness.
27	** [[GenkiGirl Jade Harley]] meanwhile is a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} who tends to have mysterious premonitions, but is largely a kind, polite, upbeat girl. She is initially upset by the trolls' antagonistic behaviour, but is quick to forgive once [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Karkat]] extends an apology.
28	** [[TeamMom Kanaya Maryam]] (aka grimAuxiliatrix) of the trolls is considered by many to be a [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]. Polite, well-spoken and helpful; although she's a meddlesome meddler, she apparently does it only to help people. "Auxiliatrix" [[MeaningfulName even means]] "a helpful woman". It remains to be seen if she has any ulterior motives, however.
29	*** Apparently her motive for watching out for [[KillerGameMaster Vriska]] all the time was [[DoggedNiceGuy not entirely]] [[LipstickLesbian altruistic.]]
30	*** Of course, Kanaya also comes with a massive case of BewareTheNiceOnes. Her weapon is a [[ChainsawGood CHAINSAW]], after all.
31	** [[FriendToAllLivingThings Tavros Nitram]] also qualifies. One of the trolls notes that he seems to be ''unable'' to hate anyone. Which is ''really'' odd among trolls.
32	** The pre-Scratch trolls bring us Tavros's dancestor Rufioh, who's just too nice for his own good; Kanaya's dancestor Porrim, the EthicalSlut TeamMom; and, oddly enough, ''[[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder Vriska's]]'' dancestor, [[ExpositionFairy Aranea]], who is almost faultlessly polite and forgiving, and whose main negative trait is that [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness she likes to talk a bit too much]]. [[spoiler:At first glance. Underneath everything and when it comes to making plans she turns out to be about just as bad, if not ''worse'', than Vriska]].
33	* Bob from ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' epitomizes this. He could be considered the ''weaponized'' version of this trope, because of his ability to [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath talk his enemies into backing down.]]
34	* [[TheAlcoholic Sedgewick]] from ''Webcomic/{{Lackadaisy}}'', whose only faults are his constant need to overwork, being [[ExtremeDoormat too polite]], and once killing a duck that still haunts him to this day. And with the reveal that one major character is about to die, some of the fandom has decided it [[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth has to him]], because he's just too likable.
35	%%* Lizard from the (discontinued) comics ''Living in Greytown'' and ''Lizard!''
36	* ''Webcomic/MadameOutlaw'': Rosco, Thaddeus' genial stableboy, is unfailingly kind and polite, and follows Estelle because of his principle to help those in need. When the scale and danger of Estelle's plan becomes clear to him, he tries to get her to break TheChainOfHarm and find another way.
37	* In ''Webcomic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings'', Commander Badass requests Jared be his spotter for weightlifting even though Jared has the muscle mass of a wet noodle, on the basis that if something ''does'' go wrong, "[[http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/comic/i-actually-wrote-this-one-like-five-years-ago-but-this-seemed-like-an-appropriate-time-to-use-it you're the most likely to actually get help instead of take photos on your phone and laugh]]".
38	* ''Webcomic/{{Mokepon}}'''s Kahn Miles is probably the nicest Nice Guy you'll ever meet. He treats [[{{Jerkass}} Atticus]] with respect and kindness despite all the crap he gets from him, including saving his life, ''and'' he let Atticus [[spoiler: beat his already wounded pokemon]] because he knew it would make Atticus happy.
39	* Gumiya from ''Webcomic/NextSoundOfTheFuture'' is easily the kindest character in the cast. He's generous, displayed in how he lets Shine borrow his phone without a second thought after she loses hers. He frequently shows concern for others, shown when he's prepared to go looking for Shine late into the night when she hasn't returned to her apartment. When he sees that Shine is upset, he immediately tries to cheer her up. Kiyoteru also remarks that Gumiya has been helpful towards him and Dr. Yuki. It's no wonder that his character profile says he's popular.
40	* Theo from ''Webcomic/TheNoordegraafFiles'' is too much of one for his own good - he's a WideEyedIdealist - but people love him for it nonetheless.
41	* Elan, ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'''s SpoonyBard, is such a Nice Guy he ends up being an example of GoodIsDumb.
42	* Jeremy from ''Webcomic/PlatinumGrit''. He's so nice that he can be this and TheWoobie at the same time, because he's too damn nice to get down in the dumps about anything for long.
43	%% * Max of ''Webcomic/{{Precocious}}'' is the lone nice guy in a class riddled with cognitive dissonance.
44	* ''Webcomic/PrincessPrincess2012'': Sadie is a sweet girl whom everyone but her sister is charmed by.
45	* Ingrid, Sifand Sigrun in Webcomic/{{Realmwalker}} are all kind and sweet, and don't have many enemies.
46	* Sam from ''Webcomic/SamAndFuzzy''. While he has aspects of BewareTheNiceOnes (most of whom end up getting subverted), at a whole he's the kindest and most inoffensive person in the strip -- excepting [[TheAce Carlyle]].
47	* Norway of ''Webcomic/ScandinaviaAndTheWorld'', at least compared to [[DeadpanSnarker Sweden]] and [[EthicalSlut Denmark.]]
48	* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': Undine is kind, polite, and calm almost to a fault, [[TranquilFury even when she's white-hot raging]]. In a flashback, Sally labels her the nice one of their friend group, and both she and Gwen agree that even if Undine didn't ''want'' to be the nice one, it's too late to avoid the title.
49	* In ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'', Jerzy seems generally nice, and Andy does his best though he's a bit dim. But, proving that the status can be highly contextual, we also get Matt. In ''Webcomic/MenageA3'', Matt frequently takes the role of {{jerkass}} [[TheCasanova Casanova]], although his willingness to help his friends in any way that doesn't involve romantic monogamy establishes him as a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. But then he makes a guest appearance in the spinoff comic, where he encounters Ruby trying to pass as a man, evidently sees through the disguise when she starts panicking -- and [[http://www.stickydillybuns.com/strips-sdb/i_am_a_manly_man gracefully salvages some of her dignity]]. This makes him the first person in the entire comic to make a serious effort to reduce [[ButtMonkey Ruby's state of perpetual embarrassment]].
50	* ''Webcomic/TheStoryOfAnima'' has Kit Vulpes, a generally kind and compassionate kid [[http://tapastic.com/episode/88526 who doesn't even think twice]] [[http://tapastic.com/episode/89853 before launching to the rescue when someone's in danger]].
51	* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': Among the group of Norwegian friends in the prologue, Aksel. He spends the segment trying to arrange for his grandmother to come stay with him during the worst of the Rash, while his three friends are either having a CosyCatastrophe attitude towards an ongoing storm, complaining about getting the previous day's newspaper despite the fact that they were only interested in the crossword puzzle or generally being TheGadfly.
52	* ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' often depicts Reimu Hakurei as an example of GoodIsNotNice, but in the fan comic ''Webcomic/TouhouJournal'', Reimu is depicted as a CuteMute with unconditional kindness, doing favors such as reading bedtime stories for Remilia (don't ask how she's able to do it), befriending a [[IJustWantToHaveFriends lonely]] Nue, and cheering up Marisa when she leaves a party in a troubled mood. When Aya, accompanied by Momiji, tries to sneak up on Reimu in an attempt to catch a scoop on Reimu having a darker, less-than-kind side, not only does Aya fail, but when Reimu spots them, her response is to ''cheerfully serve them tea!''
53	* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'':
54	** TheHero Bam needs to have it explained to him why anyone would ever fight, and to begin with, even among the cutthroat competition to climb the Tower, his default is always to be friendly towards everyone. He gets more dark and brooding later ([[BreakTheCutie for good reasons]]), but none of it changes how nice he's at the core.
55	** {{Subverted}} with Hoh on the Floor of Tests. He acts in a mellow manner and is the one to try to smooth out any arguments, and he acts nicely towards Bam, but he eventually snaps under the pressure of the contest to make it to the next floor and becomes a bitter backstabber. A {{Foil}} to Bam, who's really nice through and through, he's also envious that Bam hasn't lost his innocence like Hoh himself lost everything that mattered to him.
56	* Danny Wilcox from the ''Webcomic/WalkyVerse'' defining trait is that he's so nice that [[TheGenericGuy there's not much else to him]] other than a tendency to be an ExtremeDoormat.
57	** This is deconstructed with his ''Webcomic/DumbingOfAge'' [[AlternateUniverse variant]], on the other hand, as his unnerving and unfailing devotion to his girlfriends ends up being a major turnoff.
58	* In ''Webcomic/YokokasQuest'', Yfa and Grace in particular have been shown to always be nice, and never even playfully be mean to others.
