[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/en_1_00cover.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"[[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Tale as old as time...]]"]]
''The Golden Week'' is a {{Furry Webcomic|s}} created by Douglas Kim ([[http://www.furaffinity.net/user/kimmykun/ Kimmykun]]). The comic features the budding relationship between a lion reporter named Derek and a dalmatian high schooler named Scott. The problem is that Derek is 26 and Scott is 18, and while they are both legal, they still struggle because of stigmas around them.
The website can be found [[http://goldenweekcomic.com/archiveenglish/ here]].
Not to be confused with the [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHolidays Japanese holiday.]]
----
!!This webcomic provides examples of:
* {{Adorkable}}: Tom, Scott's sweet bear friend.
* AllGaysArePromiscuous: Derek believes this when Edward offers to take him to a club or set up a date for him.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Derek's first boyfriend wasn't interested and Matthew is interested in Scott while Scott isn't.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Mike doesn't seem to have interest in women and has dropped subtle hints towards Derek.
* AnimalStereotypes: Scott the dalmatian has a firefighter father, Jane the fox is clever and cunning, Matthew the stag is assertive towards finding a mate which means he is rutting, etc.
* BearyFriendly: Tom is a nice and friendly bear.
* BeastAndBeauty:
* CastFullOfGay: Most of the cast is gay or lesbian.
* CreatorProvincialism: The author lives in Brazil, where Matt being on the "football" team refers to "soccer", and buying groceries at the mall is quite common.
* CunningLikeAFox: Jane is quite clever and is quick to catch Scott's bluffs
* FagHag: Jane, who hangs out with Matthew.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Derek and Edward.
* LovableJock: Matthew is a star football/soccer player who is chill to everyone.
* ManlyGay: Matthew is a jock who is on the football team and is in the closet.
* MistakenForGay: Jane thinks Scott is gay but he insists he isn't.
* NightmareFace: Matthew can make intense faces when he is determined.
* PettingZooPeople: It's a furry webcomic after all.
* QueerRomance: Derek and Scott are into each other. Matthew is into Scott but it is unrequited.
* ShrinkingViolet: Scott lacks a ton of confidence but he does try.
* StalkerWithACrush: Derek and Matthew. They both want Scott and while Derek is more emotionally unstable, Matthew is assertive and determined to have Scott.
* StraightGay: None of the characters display stereotypically gay traits.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Mike's accent is difficult to pin down as he sometimes switches from a German-ish to a Russian-ish accent.
* WomenAreWiser: Jane is much more clever and inquisitive than the boys.
