History Webcomic / RaineDog

''[[http://www.rainedog.com/ Raine Dog]]'' is a webcomic created by Creator/DCSimpson, the author of ''WebComic/OzyAndMillie'' and ''ComicStrip/PhoebeAndHerUnicorn''.

* BestialityIsDepraved: Though the protagonist's action never equate the concept, it is alluded to and contrasted. The fact that this was supposed to be a comic deconstructing the relationship of cartoon humans and animals in contrast to real-life humans and animals doesn't make this any better.

In 2011, however, she decided to [[ContinuityReboot restart the comic]], with the few pages she happened to post went past DarkerAndEdgier by having Raine Dog apparently being assassinated, leaving the rest of the story to be told in flashback. Putting aside that she opened on a dark note, the new opening looks very much like Raine was being set up as a Martin Luther King of her universe.
