• Gilgamesh Wulfenbach of Girl Genius. Status as EBB: confirmed.
  • Just Gil? Tarvek isn't half bad himself. Hell, even Higgs is getting attention as of late. And Klaus has his groupies too. Let's just say that the Foglios know what their audience likes to see.
    • The first page of the Cinderella arc includes Gil and Tarvek debating their various EBB qualities. They seem pretty evenly matched, which might be why Cinderella!Agatha ends up with both princes.
  • Hell, even some of the Jägers have fangirls, with Maxim and Oggie having the most enthusiastic followings.
    • Maxim was originally an experiment to see if they could draw a Bishōnen Jägermonster. They pretty much succeeded.
• Grrl Power is fairly open about the fact that most of the characters, male and female, are going to provide some fanservice at some point, and this is lampshaded in The Rant, and occasionally in the strip.
• Name just about any male character from Hanna Is Not a Boy's Name and you will find a large female fanbase. The artist seems to have a special talent for drawing attractive men for every taste.
• Slick Giovanni from Last Res0rt. Troubled past? Check. Former mafia don? Check. Looks good in harem gear? CHECK, PLEASE!
• Punch an' Pie, while not notably emphasizing the attractiveness of is female characters, gives us Aiden - the buff, nice hair sporting, tattooed Stoic.
• Either Cale or Tavor from Looking for Group. While everyone agrees that Richard is Bad Ass enough to have everyone squealing, the fangirls tend to be split between the two elves.
  • Ahem. Must I remind you of this?
• Most of the male cast of Friendly Hostility. In addition to quite a few male-on-male scenes, we have:
  • Fox, a goofy guy who gets occasional Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass moments and seems willing to do Anything That Moves...
  • Collin, an evil wannabe dictator who spent some time as a male model...
• Many of the male characters from later in Emergency Exit... some examples here. And here. (Picture may contain spoilers.)
• James Eglamore from Gunnerkrigg Court. Characters in-comic certainly think so, too.
• In The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob!, when Fructose Riboflavin feels like looking human, he always makes himself very handsome (in contrast to his real form as a shriveled old moth creature) in order to better manipulate others. It works well on Galatea.
• Elan from The Order of the Stick is apparently this in-universe, although the stick-figure style makes it (virtually) impossible for readers.
  • 18 Charisma is not to be scoffed at, though.
• All of the boys from El Goonish Shive. They all have their reasons; Elliot's a shapeshifter (And has a catboy form!), Justin's gay, and Tedd, well, he's a girly-boy pervert who likes magic and SCIENCE!
• The Adventures of Dr. McNinja: The titular Dr. McNinja is found attractive by a lot of viewers anyway, but Chris Hastings made it even more intentional with this. As the Alt Text reads: "Lil' bit of fan service for you ladies out there."
• Pretty much every male character from The Law of Purple. Even the ones who are still in middle school. Here are some examples.
• Male characters (okay, most characters generally) in Ménage ā 3 tend to be Hollywood Homely at worst, and most get topless or naked shots. The artist/co-writer's personal favorite male character — not specifically for this reason — seems to be Dillon, who eventually got his own comic, Sticky Dilly Buns, where he could get more screen time — some of it with his shirt off.
• In Sinfest, the guys try this.
• Hamlet Machine's Starfighter is pretty much full of this, from main characters Cain and Abel (codenames, not a horribly cruel and unusual coincidence) give a lot of this, considering the NSFW nature of the comic and Cain's hobby of jerking off in his Starfighter craft.
• In UC, Naim, tends to lose his shirt a lot, much to the fans delight.
