Webcomic / Dragon

This page (and everything related) is currently a Work In Progress. Any help will be appreciated!

Aww... they seem fun!

Guy McCoy is the sole inhabitant of Dragonfly research space station orbiting high above the Earth. One morning, he is awoken by the station's AI alerting him that the gravitational centrifuge has broken down and needs repair... again. This invariably leads to an incredible series of events for everyone involved.

Dragon is a furry Webcomic by written and animated by Australian furry artist Lizard Soup (with ambient music by Somnibear)

While there can be some suggestive imagery (the comic is definitely 18+), and Guy spends a lot of time in a bathrobe and briefs, Dragon falls squarely in wholesome, cozy territory... except when it does not, but yet not in the "unwholesome" "uncozy" ways you'd immediately expect of a furry web comic, bringing the entire experience full circle.

The unique draw of Dragon comes from its initial presentation in a faux-visual novel style as if you, the reader (or perhaps the characters themselves) interact with world as if it's an old point and click adventure. However, it has since grown beyond merely imitating visual novels into a unique style of narrative on its own.

Lizard Soup has stated that the best way to experience the comic is through its regular updates on the platform formerly known as Twitter (link to the index of Twitter posts) However, Dragon is also published on Tumblr. In addition to this, Lizard Soup has compiled each chapter separately as Youtube videos that one can use to binge through the entire comic so far, which at the time of this writing would take only a couple of hours.

Tropes Associated with the web comic:

• Acrofatic: Averted. Guy definitely has grown out of shape, though he is not as unhealthy as he pretends during Blue's training sessions.
• After the End: Something big happened in the past, (with Guy either involved or completely at fault) though civilization has been recovering steadily in the last 250 years give or take.
• Armor-Piercing Question:
• Corrupt Corporate Executive
• Fantastic Racism: The Ancients (individuals who survived the end of civilization 250 years ago and have lived to present day) seem to be regarded with incredible fear or religious suspicion.
• Last of His Kind: Inverted. Guy thinks of himself as this, but he's proven wrong. Oddly enough, his self-esteem takes a big hit when he gets this news.
• Lightswitch Surprise: How we are introduced to Micah Abrams.
• Our Dragons Are Different: Blue maybe and Pascal are interface projections of powerful computer AI.
• Wham Episode: Chapter 7
• Wham Line: Several scattered throughout every chapter.
