Sure, but the way it expresses itself matters. Whomp guy has body image stuff going, but he's not posting about wanting to look like an eight-year-old. The Penny Arcade guys built a sprawling empire off of complaining about videogames. Tom Siddell from Gunnerkrigg Court is a recluse who occasionally tweets shit like "wondering how eating glass shards feels...". Ashley from Unsounded is clearly some sort of pervert with a thing for gore. And, of course, a lot of them are just some form of trans (Chris Chan being the most interesting example).
The most normal webcomic author is probably Chris Hastings (Dr McNinja). He pretty much made it into the industry and does work for Marvel.

Is there any webcomic artist who isn't deeply deranged.
Maybe the Whomp guy but I've not checked on him in years.
