History Creator / DanaSimpson

* AuthorTract: She tended to veer into left-wing politics in regards to her OrphanedSeries ''WebComic/RaineDog'', with {{Anvilicious}} soapboxing about "Blue State" Democrats and transgenderism, coupled with the UnfortunateImplications of the various intended metaphors. Previously, ''I Drew This!'' was pretty openly a political comic, but even her ''least'' political comic, ''WebComic/OzyAndMillie'', still had political commentary, usually with geoglobal politics boiled down to playground puppets, and famously [[GenkiGirl Millie's]] [[UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush Mr. W sockpuppet]].

Dana Simpson (formerly D.C. Simpson) is the creator of the web comics ''WebComic/OzyAndMillie'', ''WebComic/RaineDog'', and ''ComicStrip/PhoebeAndHerUnicorn'' (formerly ''Heavenly Nostrils''), among others. ''Ozy and Millie'' was the most noteworthy of her early creations, having been given semi-mainstream attention as a long-running web comic and published in book form by indie publisher Plan 9.

* CareerResurrection: A minor example, but due to AuthorTract nature on some of her later works, especially ''Webcomic/RaineDog'', she was a subject to massive {{hatedom}}. Thankfully, she managed to recover from it when ''ComicStrip/PhoebeAndHerUnicorn'' became a hit.

* PaintingTheMedium: Both ''WebComic/OzyAndMillie'' and ''ComicStrip/PhoebeAndHerUnicorn'' have characters that use different fonts in their word balloons, to suggest different accents or manners of speaking.

Dana Simpson (formerly D.C. Simpson) is the creator of the web comics ''WebComic/OzyAndMillie'', ''WebComic/RaineDog'', and ''WebComic/PhoebeAndHerUnicorn'' (formerly ''Heavenly Nostrils''), among others. ''Ozy and Millie'' was the most noteworthy of her early creations, having been given semi-mainstream attention as a long-running web comic and published in book form by indie publisher Plan 9.

In 2009, she won Amazon.com's "Comic Strip Superstar" contest with ''Girl'', [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a comic about a young girl]]. This was a somewhat underdeveloped concept created specifically for the contest, which recycled some material from ''Ozy and Millie''. The comic went through [[DevelopmentHell a prolonged development process]] before being retooled into ''WebComic/PhoebeAndHerUnicorn''. It is currently syndicated by Andrews [=McMeel=] Universal on Go Comics, with a second book released at the end of May 2015 and newspaper release at the end of March 2015.

** More recently, she's used ''WebComic/PhoebeAndHerUnicorn'' to address nihilism. [[http://www.gocomics.com/phoebe-and-her-unicorn/2016/05/12 Marigold gives a statement that's convincing enough that Phoebe's completely okay with nihilism as long as sparkles are involved.]]

* CareerResurrection: A minor example, but due to AuthorTract nature on some of her later works, especially ''Webcomic/RaineDog'' (see above), her reputation was in shaky grounds, and was a subject to {{Hatedom}}. Thankfully, she managed to recover from it when ''ComicStrip/PhoebeAndHerUnicorn'' became a hit.

* ScheduleSlip: ''WebComic/OzyAndMillie'' had an erratic update schedule toward the end; ''Webcomic/RaineDog'' repeatedly went on hiatus, was restarted, then abandoned; ''Webcomic/PhoebeAndHerUnicorn'' launched months later than originally expected.
