** Dragons in ''Meadowhawk'' are also of comparable size to humans--rather large and bulky, but still small enough to use computers and smartphones comfortably, and live in human-style apartments. No AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever here.

* ShakingTheRump: Drizzle does this to attract more views to her and Tater's Website/YouTube channel, where they're hosting a Q&A vlog about dragons. She comes to regret it later, when commentators focus more on her showing off her scaly butt (either [[PerverseSexualLust in approval]], or [[MoralGuardians with insults and scolding]]) than on the actual vlog.
** [[SelfParody This is spoofed]] in a later gag comic, which points out that Drizzle's ''tail'' is bigger than her actual backside, and mostly covers it up. The caption even reads, "Tailbutt: 95% Tail, 5% Butt."

''Meadowhawk'' is an ongoing WebComic by Nicole Johnson, and made its debut on [[http://www.meadowhawk.net/ meadowhawk.net]] in January of 2013.

From the author's [[http://www.meadowhawk.net/about About Meadowhawk]] page:

-> This is a comic about dragons. Modern dragons who, if asked to account for dragon lore, would cluelessly click to the same wikis you or I would for a quick refresher. Dragons for whom words like ‘pillage’, ‘slay’ and ‘burninate’ are the names of faraway concepts, found only in musty histories of dubious accuracy.

-> These are dragons who have only been around as long as you or I (so far). They know as much about their Middle Ages forbears as we know about our tribal ancestors. Heck, they -barely- remember a time before the Internet. Their world is ours – one of transit, information, billowing population centers, and complex caffeinated drinks. Their worries are ours – Am I selfish, am I spoiled? Am I a good person? Am I making the Earth better or worse by being here? Who or what am I supposed to be?

-> The post-industrial era of (relative) peace and prosperity has provided a great deal of leisure time for once-thundering lizards to ponder their place in the cosmic scheme of things. With the dawning of a new millennium comes a blossoming new awareness of our intertwined histories, with terms such as ‘Dragon Privilege’ entering the global lexicon.

-> The dragons in this comic have no better tools than we for determining their place in all of this. With friendship, thoughtfulness, and a little help from the Internet, they will seek a 21st century understanding of who and what they are.''

!!Tropes:

* OurDragonsAreDifferent: The main characters are modern-day dragons, ones who'd rather play [=CubeCraft=] than burn villages, and eat tofu stir-fry more often than knights.
* ShakingTheRump: Drizzle does this to attract more views to her and Tater's YouTube channel. She comes to regret it later.
* VegetarianCarnivore: Potato (Tater) Salad muses on what his medieval ancestors would think of them eating tofu-and-broccoli stir fry.
