----
* ''WebComic/SandraAndWoo'':
** Cloud Williams. He falls to pieces around his girlfriend and he's a video game nerd, to boot. But he's also a trained swordsman and he can kick your ass, big time.
** David and Ye Thuza, Cloud's parents. They're huge ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' nerds (to the point where they named their kids Cloud and Yuna), they're [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic bronies]], and they act like adorable children when they're at a restaurant.
** Landon is a nerdy, [[NiceGuy sweet guy]] who does everything he can to make his girlfriend happy.
%%* Criminy from ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'' embodies the trope (how), to the point that one of the resident [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubi]] has fallen head-over-heels for him.
* ''Webcomic/HannaIsNotABoysName'':
** Hanna is a 5 ft 3 in, klutzy, [[TheWoobie woobie-ish]] little ball of pure adorkable.
** Conrad tries and fails so hard not to be a doormat and is such a [[TheWoobie woobie]] you can't not see him as a cute dork.
* Most of the characters from ''Webcomic/{{Sakana}}'' are adorkable, but especially Jiro, who is [[ShrinkingViolet pretty shy]] in front of girls.
* Rumisiel from ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'' is so cute in his complete incompetence at social interaction.
* ''Webcomic/BloodyUrban'' gives us Angelica -a tall, uncoordinated, buck-toothed Russian GeniusDitz with a penchant for mismatched stockings and bacon sandwiches.
* ''Webcomic/SabrinaOnline'' has a pair of cute dorks who collect geeky stuff.
** Sabrina who collects ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' action figures.
** Sabrina's boyfriend R.C. is Adorkable, and he collects anime figurines.
* Kia the Succubus of ''Webcomic/KrakowComics'' calls her boyfriend ([[spoiler: later her husband]]) her "naughty, gawky Cinderella".
* Theo, of ''Webcomic/TheNoordegraafFiles'' is a programmer with little to no idea on how to get a girlfriend - but he's also a nice, caring guy. It doesn't take much time for one of the comic's females to admit they find him "kinda cute".
** Davis, the comic's resident effeminate GadgeteerGenius might also count as this.
* Jade of ''Webcomic/AgentsOfTheRealm'' can be adorkable sometimes when she's not in TheMentor mode. On her first conversation with Norah, she apologizes profoundly that she can't help her, because she messed up the pages of the instruction and spends quite some time half-apologizing, half-searching for the missing page.
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
** Tavros Nitram, a.k.a. adiosToreador, is utterly dorky, and yet at the same time unbelievably {{Moe}}. Being UglyCute (due to being a troll) and being the biggest [[TheWoobie Woobie]] in the whole cast helps.
** John is adorkable, with reasons cited from Hussie's formspring:
--->'''Andrew Hussie:''' John is adorable because he is [[WideEyedIdealist honest]] and [[TheHero heroic]] and [[TheMovieBuff nerdy]] and [[NiceGuy a good friend]].
** Jake. Especially when talking to [[CuteGhostGirl Aranea]]. Although he prefers to think of himself as an ActionHero type, his kind (and slightly ditzy) personality, relentless enthusiasm and optimism, naivete, and weird and yet somehow unself-aware old-fashioned manner of speaking (which Roxy specifically states as one of his most attractive qualities) only point to this trope.
** Dave Strider. Most people seem to forget that he's at heart a 13-year-old kid who likes photography and keeping dead things preserved in jars.
** Jade Harley. She's an absolutely scatterbrained and yet absolutely adorable girl raised by a dog on an island with a whole shitton of science.
%% ** Andrew Hussie.
%% * ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent''.
%% ** Marigold. In a big way.
%% ** Hanners.
%% * ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'': Florence Ambrose, a FunnyAnimal [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff500/fv00467.htm demonstrates]].
%% * ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'': Randall Munroe
* ''Webcomic/JuvenileDiversion'' gives us Chris, the youngest, smartest, and geekiest of the protagonists. Naturally, this is why Evie is attracted to him.
* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'':
** Tedd is very insecure because of his feminine face and [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=689 can be quite sweet]].
** Susan is [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1406 very awkward when it comes to dating]] and [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1773 physical contact]] but her attempts to overcome those issues make her endearing.
** Elliot and Ashley are [[https://www.egscomics.com/comic/party-173 specifically described as such in universe]], based on Elliot's awkwardly expressed ChronicHeroSyndrome, and Ashley's enthusiastic but easily embarrassed reaction to transformation magic.
* ''Webcomic/{{Paranatural}}'''s PJ earns this with his lack of social skills (i.e. his inability to tell a joke) and his genuine admiration of Max's heroics.
%% * Jyrras from ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'', although he probably doesn't want to admit to it.
%%* Ryan Aberdeen from ''Webcomic/{{Avalon|1999}}''.
* Gary and Kiley of ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' certainly seem to be ''intended'' to evoke this response — although given [[HollywoodHomely the way they are drawn]], their lack of conventional appeal is an InformedAttribute at best, and doesn’t even seem very serious in-setting.
%% * King from ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}''.
%% * Mike from ''Webcomic/{{Bardsworth}}''.
%% * Stein from ''Webcomic/FrankieAndStein''. Just that face from [[http://frankieandstein.com/2011/12/10/page-3/ page 3]]. There is no question of his adorkableness.
* Lance and Dustin from ''Webcomic/{{Weregeek}}''. Check out when Dustin was nervous about his date, and the Dec '10 comic where Alina actually uses the word. But the beards on those guys makes it a little more Gentle Bear than Wide Eyed Smiling Ugly Nerd.
%% * Heather Brown from ''Webcomic/{{Spinnerette}}'' could be the poster girl for this trope.
%% * Referenced in [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/06022003/ this]] ''Webcomic/WapsiSquare'' strip.
%% * ''Webcomic/OffWhite'': Clumsy Iki is a rare wolf example of this trope.
* Chainey and PJ of ''Webcomic/MaggotBoy'':
** Chainey is a tall skinny narcoleptic zombie and reluctant sidekick.
** PJ is a huge super hero fanatic with Spider-Man ''everything.''
%% * ''Webcomic/TheLessThanEpicAdventuresOfTJAndAmal'': Both TJ and Amal qualify, depending on the mood.
%% ** Amal's more of a modern BollywoodNerd.
%% ** TJ has a goofy sense of humor.
* Dani and Adam from ''Webcomic/OlympicDames'':
** Dani is a bespectacled, socially awkward and fairly adorable in her own right teenage girl who just happens to be magically pregnant with a demigod.
** Adam is an oft-cheerful young comic book geek (for lack of a better term), with a tendency to say things the wrong way. He's also in love with his best friend Caitlyn, who's in the same boat as Dani a decent chunk of Adam's awkwardness comes from the fact that this isn't exactly a turn-off for him.
%% * ScandinaviaAndTheWorld:
%% ** Sweden
%% ** Japan
* While many characters in ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' have Adorkable aspects, the main three characters, Agatha, Gil, and Tarvek, are often ''very'' adorkable. This could be because adorkableness is correlated with science and geekiness, and ''Girl Genius'' is based on the adventures of Agatha, a mad scientist herself, who tends to attract other mad scientists (aka Sparks). Theo, another Spark, also has a high adorkability quotient. It could simply be that Sparks have a high potential for adorkableness when they're not AxeCrazy.
%% * A few character from ''Webcomic/{{Inhuman}}'' qualify.
%% ** Ashido
%% ** Juu Dyrano is a good example
%% ** Ro "Darkfool" Koji takes the cake. The majority of pics in his character gallery just scream "Adorkable" as well as his overall personality.
%% * Sydney, the main character from ''Webcomic/GrrlPower''.
* ''Webcomic/DresdenCodak'': Kimiko Ross. How does a misanthropic cyborg manage to be so adorably awkward? [[http://dresdencodak.com/2007/04/07/rule-110/ So]] [[http://dresdencodak.com/2011/12/16/dark-science-14/ adorably]] [[http://dresdencodak.com/2010/03/11/mademoiselle/ awkward]]?
* Charlotte of ''Webcomic/ParanormalMysterySquad'' and ''Webcomic/VampireCheerleaders'' has various shades of this trope. She regularly fumbles with her spells, works old tv show and movie references into them ranging from He-Man to Captain Marvel, has a somewhat subtle case of type one big breasts, big deal, and when Katie discusses her in a way that sounds just a little too much like an innuendo her only reaction is pull her knees up to her chest saying "I'll be curling up into my shell now."
* ''Webcomic/{{Sunstone}}'' gives us Ally; successful self made woman, millionaire, impeccably dressed, sexually confident, BDSM dominant and complete spaz.
* The protagonist of ''Webcomic/{{Explorers of Souls}}'', Mel, is a sarcastic, awkward, adorable, fluffy little Mon who used to play Pokemon games and read fanfiction. How could you not love her?
* ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'' Sydney Scoville Jr. is the cute tomboy lead with considerable comic and nerd culture [[http://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/728/ proficiency]].
* ''Webcomic/{{Monsterkind}}''
** Roy is a gangly, bespectacled ball of [[http://monsterkind.enenkay.com/comic/24 rainbows and hugs]] with a penchant for [[http://monsterkind.enenkay.com/comic/9 accidentally starting street protests]].
** Wallace, constantly nervous, who is nearly [[http://monsterkind.enenkay.com/comic/80 too sweet to do his job correctly]] and is [[http://monsterkind.enenkay.com/comic/174 somewhat clumsy]]. He is made especially awkward by his [[http://monsterkind.enenkay.com/comic/1 new environment]].
** Kip, to an extent. He’s an [[http://monsterkind.enenkay.com/comic/8 irritable blogger]] who is [[http://monsterkind.enenkay.com/comic/57 easily flustered ]] and [[http://monsterkind.enenkay.com/comic/40 actually a huge cuddler]]. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Cuddy [[http://monsterkind.enenkay.com/comic/22 here]].
%% * ''Webcomics/OlympusOverdrive'':
%% ** Hades
%% ** Max
%%* ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'' has [[http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c78/p6.html Daisy]]:
%%-->Maybe we should... take precautions. Just in case. I'm not saying we HAVE to do anything. JUST IN CASE.
%%* ''Webcomic/{{Monsterkind}}'':
%%** Wallace.
%%** Roy.
* ''Webcomic/{{Parallax}}'': has Lomax Torchstone, our short, scrawny, socially-awkward and shy protagonist.
* Brisbane Adams of ''Webcomic/YouSayItFirst'': Easily flustered, but [[TheDeterminator never deterred]]. The sequel comic, ''Webcomic/NicoleAndDerek'' shows his daughter is a chip off the socially awkward block.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Godslave}}'', Edith's boss at the restaurant is a NiceGuy who smiles a lot, calls her his "bombae" and is genuinely upset and awkwardly trying to cheer her up when he has to fire her temporarily.
* ''Webcomic/TheGodOfHighSchool'' has the protagonist, who acts like a {{Manchild}} at time despite being seventeen. Some of his childish behavior includes pressing his face against glass in an attempt to eavesdrop, blatantly providing his grandfather's location out of sheer naive honesty, and yelling "I dun wanna!" when something displeases him while drawn in chibi [[ArtShift format.]]
%%* Ruby from ''Webcomic/BasketsOfGuts''. Ironically enough, he's an [[SuccubiAndIncubi incubus]] working at brothel.
* ''Webcomic/TheirStory'':
** Sun Jing, a {{Tomboy}} who enjoys playing basketball [[OneOfTheBoys with her male classmates]] and being TheGadfly to her best friend, is prone to becoming an awkward and flustered mess around Qiu Tong, a girl from a neighboring school she develops a crush on.
** Qiu Tong reveals a number of {{Adorkable}} traits, being a kind but somewhat socially awkward girl who has trouble interacting with others. She also is starting to grow flustered around Sun Jing with greater frequency after [[spoiler: the latter's LoveConfession]]. And she enjoys splashing in rain puddles.
* Milo from ''Webcomic/TrippingOverYou'' is super sweet and a theatre dork.
* Amal in ''Webcomic/TheLessThanEpicAdventuresOfTJAndAmal'', is a nerd and admits he doesn't know how to flirt, and so becomes awkward and embarrassed when he thinks one of his gambits didn't come off as he thought it would.
* Bailey from ''Webcomic/{{Avialae}}'' geeks out over birds (in spite of being allergic to them) and blushes madly and trips over his words whenever Gannet flirts with him.
* Nate from ''Webcomic/TheBackOBeyond'' is well meaning but extremely unlucky, has a habit of saying whatever's on his mind even if it's a horrible idea, and some goofy facial expressions.
* Cyril, the {{Butt Monkey}} Wizard from ''Webcomic/{{The Legend of Maxx}}'', is a [[http://legendofmaxx.com/archives/1498 physically fragile]] [[http://legendofmaxx.com/archives/1374 bookworm]] who is perpetually teetering on the edge of a total mental breakdown. Criminally clumsy and unlucky to boot, he's been patched up so many times by {{The Medic}} Hannah that she's developed feelings for him.
* Sylas Dubois in ''Webcomic/NeverSatisfied'':
** Teleported right behind Philomena to ask if she got his joke.
** Wrote a hilariously bad love poem for Philomena.
** Planned the [[{{Pun}} Stylas]] joke in advance, as evinced by Fenn encouraging him:
--->'''Fenn:''' You should [[SnakeTalk sssay]] the line.\\
'''Sylas:''' Really?\\
'''Fineas:''' ''[[TheEeyore No]].''
** Lifted Cedric onto his shoulders when the latter complained that he wasn't fooling around, just short.
** [[spoiler:After taking out three dangerous competitors in one shot and singlehandedly winning the round, realized how they'd react: [[http://www.neversatisfiedcomic.com/comic/chapter-4-page-49 "They're all going to kill me, aren't they."]]]]
** [[spoiler:Realized that, as the winner, he was in the hot seat to select who out of the competition would be eliminated: [[http://www.neversatisfiedcomic.com/comic/chapter-4-page-63 "Uh"]]]]
* Sorlie in ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' is a UNS military officer who geeks out over rare technology, and only gets involved because she's drafted to serve as a "cultural liaison". In a subsequent book, her reaction to hearing that the Oafa have a gargantuan space station is "I have cultural liaison experience and I want to go I want to go I want to go".
* Mela of ''Webcomic/WeAreTheWyrecats'' has a perky, endearingly [[BrutalHonesty frank but awkward]] personality that stands out among the others, who tend to be extremely serious.
* ''Webcomic/BigJo'' has Arthur Koenig, Jo's childhood friend. He's a huge nerd, complete with the glasses, and is easily flustered. Even after he [[SheIsAllGrownUp goes through puberty]], he's still the same dorky Art through and through.
* Both the protagonist and the deuteragonist of ''Webcomic/AnecdoteOfError'' have moments that remind you that they're kids, and it's adorable:
** Atshi is cute in part because she is socially awkward. When she isn’t under pressure, [[https://www.deviantart.com/morganicfoods/art/P17-Anecdote-of-Error-808993453 she drops]] [[https://www.deviantart.com/morganicfoods/art/P29-Anecdote-of-Error-813088064 the “awkward” part]].
** Luntsha also has her moments, as seen on [[https://www.deviantart.com/morganicfoods/art/P59-Anecdote-of-Error-834440218 page 59]], casually telling Zeya that she has magic eyes, as if she were playing pretend.
* NaiveNewcomer Twenty-Fifth Bam from ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'', who comes from a FriendlessBackground (also lacking humans in general) to a place where many people gather to compete with each other. He somehow manages to get them to like him.
* ''[[Webcomic/TheGodOfHighSchool The God of High School's]]'' Jin Mo-Ri comes across as this at times with his over the top bouts of childishness (i.e. pressing his face against soundproof glass to try and listen in on a conversation).
