History TheStoic / Webcomics

*** Due to his AmbiguousDisorder and CloudCuckoolander tendencies, he didn't realize his cousin had signed both of them up for an exploration mission in a ForbiddenZone before they were already on the boat for the first leg of the trip. The three other members of the crew, including their new captain, are all complete strangers that don't speak Lalli's language. Lalli's main duty on the mission is to find a path for their AwesomePersonnelCarrier in a GhostCity during nightime, when his work experience consists of at least six years of doing that work in the forest surrounding his home military base. On his first night doing this, his cousin decides at the last minute that he should maybe at least do this during the day due to it being a completely new place to him. Lalli's reaction boils down to "I understand what the new captain wants me to do, see you in the morning.".

* ''Webcomic/GrimTrigger'' has Grandin, who hardly showed any emotion when his ''own country was overthrown.'' Not to mention it was by his own [[MilitaryCoup commander]] who was holding a [[SinisterScythe scythe]] to his throat.

* Lieutenant Sarg and to a lesser degree Karcharoth of ''Webcomic/CryHavoc''

* Kiri from ''Webcomic/SolsticeTwins''.

* [[http://www.woodenrosecomic.com/comic/chapter2/41.html Lillian]] from ''Webcomic/WoodenRose''.

* Gray Yeon from ''Webcomic/WeakHero'' is naturally reserved and rarely shows emotion that isn't the occasional flash of anger directed towards his bullies. It takes many battles with Ben's gang at his side for Gray to acknowledge them as his friends and slowly open himself up to them.

* Frank from ''Webcomic/TwoGuysAndGuy'' never shows any emotion under any circumstances.

*** This also shows during the first major crisis of the crew, that ends up netting them a LittleStowaway. Young man turns out to be in a newly delivered food crate? Lalli couldn't care less (though the panel preceding the reveal hints he already knew someone was in there). Upon a closer look, the young man in question turns out to share an unusal hairstyle with that stranger Lalli spotted in the mage-exlcusive dreamspace a couple of days ago? Lalli may have spent an hour or two continously staring at him at first, but is all but ignoring him by the next morning.

* Zz'dtri, Vaarsuvius's evil counterpart in ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', barely talks and keeps a straight face almost at all times. He does however let out an evil grin every once in a while. It's meant to make him a foil to Vaarsuvius' SesquipedalianLoquaciousness.

* Antimony Carver and Miss Jones from ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt''.
* Lieutenant Sarg and to a lesser degree Karcharoth of ''Webcomic/CryHavoc''
* ([[EmbarrassingFirstName Tiffany]]) Susan Pompoms of ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' is the rare female ShellShockedVeteran, although her Vulcan "shoulder angel" would have you think of ''[[TheSpock another]]'' related trope.

* The [[NoNameGiven nameless]] [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombie]] {{narrator}} of ''Webcomic/HannaIsNotABoysName'' does show emotion. Sometimes. He's a master of the FascinatingEyebrow, has been known to look pretty alarmed when it's unavaidable, and gets visibly [[SugarAndIcePersonality upset when Hanna has been harmed]]. However, Hanna keeps track of how many times he's seen him smile, and it doesn't come out to much. He also doesn't care much at all about the fact he's lost his memory.

* Hiddenite in ''Webcomic/TheShufflers'' very rarely shows any expression. When he smiles or when he reacts in horror, it’s treated as an appropriately dramatic moment.
* Riff in ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance''. Though he's developed a greater range of emotion, he's still deadpan more often than not, and prone to TranquilFury. Stoicism around women in particular is a front he's carefully cultivated to prevent himself from sticking his foot in his mouth.
* Webcomic/WoodenRose [[http://www.woodenrosecomic.com/comic/chapter2/41.html Lillian]]
* ''Raizel'' from ''Webcomic/{{Noblesse}}'', who spoke as much as (or even less than) random throwaway villains over the course of 185 chapters. His facial expression ''never''changes, and the most emotional he ever got was during his TranquilFury moment.
* ''Webcomic/GrimTrigger'' has Grandin, who hardly showed any emotion when his ''own country was overthrown.'' Not to mention it was by his own [[MilitaryCoup commander]] who was holding a [[SinisterScythe scythe]] to his throat.

* Biscuit in ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'' is a member of the Roak clan, who train their warriors to openly accept pain and loss, and to never burden themselves with negative emotions. After being freed from [[FateWorseThanDeath 600 years of demonic torture]] and learning that [[LastOfHisKind the rest of the Roak clan was wiped out 200 years ago]], his only response is 'Meh, oh well.'
* Frank from ''Webcomic/TwoGuysAndGuy'' never shows any emotion under any circumstances.
* Kiri from [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Webcomic/SolsticeTwins Solstice Twins]].
* Asia Ellis from ''{{Webcomic/Morphe}}'' is emotionally stunted and has not shown a smile in the first two chapters. To date her only emotional reactions have been related to her guardian, Ken.
* Edith of ''Webcomic/{{Godslave}}'' takes everything that comes her way pretty much in stride, barely ever showing any hints of strong emotions.
* ''Webcomic/ASimpleThinkingAboutBloodType'' portrays Type [=ABs=] as calm, aloof and critical. In one strip, the other blood types agree that AB has the best poker face of them all.
* Lalli from ''WebComic/StandStillStaySilent'':

** Mikkel also. Getting yelled at by someone with NoIndoorVoice or whatever idiotic thing his teammates are up to will be taken in stride. He will also wear the exact same neutral expression whether he's announcing that they've run out of food early or trolling the teammates in question for his own amusement.

* Sebastian in ''Webcomic/TheBackOBeyond'' manages to restrain his emotions extremely well around the captain of the pirates immediately after [[spoiler: his father's death.]] However, he does have some NotSoStoic moments when he's alone.
* ''WebComic/TowerOfGod''
** Jue Viole Grace. His emotions can only be read from his actions and the rare occasions when we catch a glimpse of what is going on in his head. He [[BrokenBird has his reasons.]]
** Hwaryun barely reacts to anything less than losing an eye -- and even then, it seemed to be only from the pain. It might be because she's a Guide who can see the future in a limited way and usually knows exactly where she is and where she's going, although other Guides aren't all stoics.
* ''Webcomic/TheComicAdventuresOfLeftAndRight'': Rarely does Owldog break his default facial expression.

* ''Webcomic/ExistentialComics'': While the actual Stoic philosophy was more complicated than just the stereotype, some of their views indeed embodied this, as illustrated [[http://existentialcomics.com/comic/264 here]].

* ''Webcomic/ASimpleThinkingAboutBloodTypes'' portrays Type [=ABs=] as calm, aloof and critical. In one strip, the other blood types agree that AB has the best poker face of them all.

** Jyu Viole Grace. His emotions can only be read from his actions and the rare occasions when we catch a glimpse of what is going on in his head. He [[BrokenBird has his reasons.]]
** Hwa Ryun barely reacts to anything less than losing an eye -- and even then, it seemed to be only from the pain. It might be because she's a Guide who can see the future in a limited way and usually knows exactly where she is and where she's going, although other Guides aren't all stoics.

* The [[NoNameGiven nameless]] [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombie]] {{narrator}} of ''Webcomic/HannaIsNotABoysName'' does show emotion. Sometimes. He's a master of the FascinatingEyebrow, has been known to look pretty alarmed when it's unavaidable, and gets visibly [[{{Kuudere}} upset when Hanna has been harmed]]. However, Hanna keeps track of how many times he's seen him smile, and it doesn't come out to much. He also doesn't care much at all about the fact he's lost his memory.
